Stockton Items.
Christmas has come and gone and is
now numbered with things of the past
A word about how it was enjoyed. The
Sabbath School of the Baptist Church
had very nice entertainment, consisting
of speaking, dialogues, Rotations, vocal
and other music. Two large cedar trees
held the presents-one was the hilelren's
tree; the other was everybody's tree, and
bore quite number of gifts, some valu-
able and others of not much worth. Those
who enjoyed shooting and killing pigeons
met near the spoke factory, on land of G.
T. Hunt and passed the day in shooting
at the Birds some of them requiring as
high as eight or ten loads of shot before
they could be captured. Others came
down the first shot; very few got entirely
away. Quite some money changed hands
in the way of betting, the best marksman
sharing with the winner. Some got
drunk; some half drunk, and SO the day
passed, and the neighborhood is minus
about three hundred pigeons.
The P. r. r. Co. is putting in switch
at Prallsville, for the benefit of Smiths
81 Stover's Mill. 1t runs up to the mill
door so that grain can be unloaded and
save carting. Very nice. We also learn
that Smiths & Slower intend to keep a
supply of pine lumber on handsome
thing that is much needed, as there is no
pine lumber to be had short of Lambert
Vile or Lumberville, Pa.
Considerable changing around will take
place next Spring and several new corners
are expected to move into our village
also, several families will move out from
amongst us. Our hardware dealer and
druggist, for one, intends to leave about
the first of April, and as he is the present
post master, some hungry Democrat can
have the office earlier that If he stayed in
his present location.
The ice men were very busy last week
cutting and hauling ice, and three pretty
good houses were nearly filled, with mid
ding fair ice. There are other houses
yet to FILL

Surprise Party.

Surprise Party.
In Kingwood, on Saturday, Dec. 18th,
Mrs. Eliza Ham, widow of VIM. Ham,
deceased, was the recipient of delight
full and genuine surprise by her friends
and neighbors. A goodly number of them,
to her establishment, assembled at her
residence, near Kingwood store and
brought with them enough flour, provi-
sions, groceries, etc., to last her through
the Winter. The gentlemen chopped all
her wood Gin the bargain So grateful
was the old lady that she thanked the
merry party over and over again; and her
surprise was SO great at this new mani
festation of the fact that they were SO
very generous hearted that she could not
refrain from crying for joy. Those who
participated seemed no less joyous then
the receiver, and a pleasant time was
spent; and the givers truly realized the
truth of tho words of the originator of
Christmas "that it is more blessed to
give than receive" The hospitality of
the Kingwood people generally, in this as
in other instances is worthy of imitation.

General Fitz John Porter, as one of the
Charities Commissioners of New York
city, makes statement that there are at
this moment no fewer than fourteen
thousand persons in the public institu-
tions, and that considerable percentage
of these are professional Migrants, who
purposely procure commitment to the
Almshouse, in order that they may be
maintained at the public expense during

The Christmas Exercises of the Bap-
list Sunday School of this city, were held
on Friday Evening, Dec. 90. The main
Audience Room was filled with the pupils
and friends of the schosl An interesting
programme (whose only fault was its
length, had been arranged and was sue
cessfully carried out. The music was un-
exceptionally good the choir, assisted
by Mrs. Miller, Mr.. Harrison Sutphin
and Rev. Mr.. Woolston, the pastor of
the church, kindly led in the singing and
also furnished several duets and quartets.
Each member of the school was furnished
with bag of pure Christmas and fruit
candy and fine large Florida orange.
The Superintendent and pastor were
each presented with beautiful book
Mrs. Bovine, organist of the choir was
the recipient of beautiful wicker work
rocker. Many other gifts from pupils to
teachers aud from teachers to pupils
were made.
The chief attraction of the evening
(spectacularly considered) was the Brook
lyn Bridge, designed, erected and orna-
mented by the pastor 1t stretched en-
tirely across the pulpit platform and was
very perfect miniature of the original !;
including piers, cables, cordage, floor, &c
1t was beautifully decorated with flags and
ornaments and illuminated with burning
candles. 1t was generally acknowledged
to be the finest Christmas display ever
given in the church. Santa Claus, with
his long white hair and flowing beard
and benevolent face, added much to the
interest of the occasion.

The Newark Nj. L. Conference.
An exchange says: The next session of
the Conference will probably be held in
Nyack, N. Y. 1t is understood that the
Conference has not exactly received an
invitation that the Nyack church will en-
terrain the whole body of ministers, but
that it will make accommodations for one
hundred, or half the number on the Con-
ference roll. The other half W i'll be pro
vided for at a large Summer boarding
house in that place, which will of course
be empty of summer residents in the
Spring, and the proprietor is willing to
entertain the clergymen at reasonable
price. Each member of the Conference,
though, will be assessed, whether he finds
free lodging or not. The church at Nyack
is not any too large to accommodate the
ministers, but the Homeless Confer
ence" will no doubt adapt itself to cir
cumstances and feel thank full that it has
place to meet.

the two were consolidated and under command
of Capt. Lamphere. 1t certainly is the first

just before night, April 80. We loaded with
hard-tack and started; were escorted by the
