rbe oaCeer of BAH Play ine.

1t il said that many of the accident
insurance companies will not insure a
professional base ball player, although
they do not hesitate to take risks on
men who work in powder mills. 1t
may seem strange that ball playing
should be considered more hazardous
than making explosives, but the insur-
ance people argue that while powder
making is dangerous, it Is to be pre-
sumed that the men themselves, as
well az their employers, will take every
ecaution to prevent an accident, and
by careful attention to their duties are
seldom injured. But it is not 80 with
the ball players, ior no matter what
precautions they take they are always
getting their hands burst open, fingers
broken, or faces cut, ard are thus pre-
vented from playing. Ifthey were in
sured in an accident company, the lat.
er would lie obliged to pay the players
certain amount of money weekly
while on the sick list. Insurance men
say that the risk on base ball men is
too great tor them to take.

A Pastors Surprise.

lReported for the Democratic Advocate.
The Methodist Episcopal parsonage was
very happily hesieged with good things on last
Friday evening, and the pastor, Rev. John
Edwards, and family, were completely sur.
prised and greatly delighted by the kindness
of their people. The following lines, penned
on the moment by the pastors brother, in
clude some of the presents:
Whilst my brother and went out for an hour,
A lad came along with two bags of flour;
He had in his sled quite load of fine things,
And rushed to the parsonage as though he had
wings.
When we came in we were scarcely able
To tell all the things that were laid on the table;
Its groanngs were large; not reaching roar,
But as we approached it seemed to do more.
Some fruit and some chicken, with very fine beef
And hams with POTATOES affurding no griefi
There was sugar and coffee. andsome very good tea
With pickles and butter, quite an array.
There was soap for the parson TO make his robes
clean,
And towels to wipe with when rlnslng was done;
There was buckwheat alse, and very good peaches,
Sufficient to show q present of riches.

Henry Haines killed a snake last week on
top of the snow. 1t was three feet long and
of the viper variety. When attacked he
spread his head and made battle. This is
certainly curiosity this time Of the year.
From the 10Th of November until the 3lst
of Dec. Mr.. Chas. Z. Norris did lively
business in holiday goods. He offered lot
of handsome premiums to his customers to be
obtained by numbered Tickets, presented
to each purchaser of dollars worth of goods,
and their tickets were to drag the prizes.
On Monday night last he distributed them,
l.. =. Slinglutf drew prize No. !, Webster
unabridged dictionary; James +. Devilbiss
drew a handsome Bible; John w. Myers a
solid gold ring; Mrs. Geo. c. Anders a pair
of bracelets; DR.. l.. A. Aldridge a silver watch
and two volumes of English poetry; Simon 7.
Murdoch, colored, handsome clock. a
handsome plush comb case, one Of the pre-
miums, has not been called for, but no doubt
will be. The amount Mr.. Norris thus gave
away was $50. He had 1000 tickets, and
disposed of them before the time expired.
The Sunday School of the NJ. L. Church
held their Christmas celebration in the Col
lece Hall on Tuesday night last, but owing to
the inclemency of the weather, the exercises
were repeated on the next night. The exer-
cises consisted of dramas, recitations and vo-
cal and instrumental music. The scholars
aauitted themselves creditably, and all had Il
pleasant time.

Oar citizens were treated to an entertain
ment on last Saturday night, given by the
Philogoloian Society Of this place, at Ecken-
rode's Hail. The pieces were veil repre-
scented, and every one went home happy.
Mr.. Henry Forney is lying very i'll at this
writing of pneumonia.
New Years Day was cloudy and dull, with
nothing to mar the quietness OF the town TILL
about 3 o'clock, p. M, when the citizens
were awakened by the sound of mnsic-some-
thing very rare With us-when on looking, we
found that the Westminster colored brass
band had arrived. They treated Us to several
pieces and then adjourned to Eckenrode' :
Hall. where two of the party held a debate.
After which, "All to your places" and the
night was passed away with first class dance.
Twelve couples from Littlestown drove over
to Tanevtown in the evening, and had a de-
lightful dance at the Union Hotel.
Another item of the evening was the cutting
open of tie pumpkin at Mr.. p. b. Englar' 5
store which sat boldly on the counter for sew
