The holiday season Is once more
a thing of the past. In this place the
week was passed very quietly and
pleasantly by all, if we are to judge
from appearances. On Chistmas Eve
the M. E. Sabbath School gave very
pleasant entertainment at the court
house, which was enjoyed by all pre-.
sent, and on which occasion many
handsome presents were distributed
among the little ones. On New Years
Eve the Presbyterian Sabbath School
had tree In the Church and gave an
entertainment that was a credit to the
little ones and pleasure to the large
audience present. The music was nicely
rendered az was also the ether part of
The program by the well-trained class.
Two recitations by Miss Nora Hulings
received hearty and deserved applause,
and showed the lady's elocutionary
powers to very good advantage. The

greens and the tree loaded with pres.
ents was very handsome. Altogether
the Christmas tide of 1888 was most
happily passed in Tionesta, qHa will
doubtless long be remembere0 with
pleasure by old and young.
The first annual ball given by the
Workmen's Lodge of this place at
Lawrence Hall last Friday evening
was perhaps the most successful affair
of the kind that has ever taken place
in our town. Over one hundred tick
cts we're sold, and the crowd was
therefore large, yet there was the best
of order during the entire evening
Not harsh word was spoken and not
a boisterous individual was to be seen
anywhere, and private party could
not have been conducted with better
decorum than was this ball. The
music furnished by Reig's orchestra
six pieces, of Warren, was the best by
far that has ever been here on such an
occasion. Besides being accomplished
musicians, every member is a gentle
men, and we can say to them that
their reputation in t1ionesta is made
and that better satisfaction could moi
have been rendered. The committee
in charge made a decided hit when
they engaged this orchestra. The sup
per getten up by Mr.. Brockway was
excellent in every way, there was an
abundance of it, and every Que spoke
we'll of it. Altogether we believe
everybody who attended was delight
ed with the affair, and when the A. O.
u. w. announces its second anuua
ball, it is our opinion, that will suf
fee to bring out the lovers of Terpsi
