Tanexfnwn LIENS.

The teachers of our public school gave
their pupils Christmas treat on last Satur-
day evening. The programme consisted of
exercises in arithmetic and geography, after
which began the distribution of candy, apples,
nuts &C., from two well-loaded trees.
Quite q number of strangers have visited
our village during the holidays. Mr.. Henry
Swope Of Libertytown, is visiting his brother
here; Miss Maggie Delaney is also here, and
Mr.. Austin Rooms and sisters, of Littlestown,
were visiting at Mr.. I. II. Eckenrode's.
Father Mead. of Wiliamsport, Nd, paid
Father Delaney visit Monday, returning
Tuesday.
On Monday morning, when the fog hung
heavy and thick, we started for Sykesville,
where we landed at p. m. In short time
we met Mr.. Chas. R. Favour, who would not
take no for an answer, and under his roof we
spent very pleasant evening. In the morn
ing the Squire showed us around the town,
when, after due consideration of the pen pic
lures which the Squire has been giving in
your paper of the village and its improve
ments, we concluded he had not exaggerated
in the least Taneytown can boast of a beau
tiful country, fine churches, residences, &C.,
but when we come to comparing depots we
give in and hand Charles the sponge.
On Thursday noon, as the mail is closing,
a report reaches us that Mr.. Samuel Knox,
whilst brandishing revolver, accidentally
shot one of his children, the ball lodging in
the shoulder.

Wedding Bells.

On Thursday evening, December 18th, at
o'clock, the hymenial ceremonies of Miss A.
E. Sayler, eldest daughter of Elder Daniel X.
Sayler, and John S. Weybright, both of
Double Pipe Creek, were performed at the
BRIDES home, Elder Daniel P. Sayler otici..
ating. The bride was attired in rich suit OF
white, and the groom presented a handsome
appearance in one of black. Miss Alice En-
gel, of Union Bridge, and Ed. Snader, of New
Windsor, acted as bridesmaid and groomsman.
Many friends and relatives assembled to wit
ness the tying of the nuptial knot, and among
them we observed DR.. C. H. Diller and wife,
Mrs. L. j. Renner, Elder I. j. Kolb and
wife, Miss Sallie E. Weant, and Frank Dot
terer, of Double Pipe Creek; Miss Mary Diehl,
of Union Bridge; Miss Emma Snader, of New
Windsor; Geo. Hoover and wife, of Grace
ham; Luther Kemp, of Taneytown, and Mr..
Ogle and wife from Kansas. The bridal
presents were numerous, consisting of silver,
china, glass and majolica ware, napkins, table
cloths, towels, &C. The village band turned
out in uniform at 100 o'clock and discoursed
some of their most excellent music, including
s.When Johnny Comes Marching Home. ;
The happy pair have our congratulations, and
hope Mr.. Weybright can say when he is old
and gray
'sWhat is there in the vale of life
Half so delightful as a wife. !"

The ADVOCATE publishes an average OF
seventeen columns of reading matter each
week. If the matter were printed in book
form it would make twelve volumes of $50
pages each, Of the ordinary length and width.
The books, if the matter were properly ar,
ranged, would give about two volumes OF
storles three volumes of miscellaneous read
ing, one volume of editorial, three volumes OF
local, two volumes of news, and one volume
of political articles. In the fifteen columns
of advertising, too, there is vast amount OF
information. They tell you when to file your
claims against the estates of deceased persons;
tell You where good investments can be made;
what land is in the market; where you can
sell or rent farms; where you can borrow or
loan money; where bargains IN merchandise
can be obtained &C., &c.
The reading columns give you amusing and
interesting stories; notes of travel; expert
ments in farming; valuable recipes; general
information on various subjects; condensed
news of the world, including local, state and
general; political news and opinions thereon.
The ADVOCATE informs its readers of all i'm
portant events-the days of registration; pri-
mary meetings and conventions; of nomina-
lions for office; of the proceedings of the
courts; of the proceedings of the county com
missioners and school board; when schools
open anu ClOSGs Oi anu uCdbuSj
church dedieations; improvements, &C., &C.,
and all for the insignificant sum of two dollars
year, or scarcely four cents week. Not
withstanding the vast amount of Information
given and the small cost of the paper, there
are hundreds Of families that do not subscribe
for tin fact they do not take any paper. A
paper of the size, character and price of the
Advocate should have $500 subscribers in
Carroll alone, yet it has less than that all told.
We would ask the friends of the paper to
make an effort to increase its circulation, and
thereby increase its usefulness. The news
paper is an educator. As its circulation ex
tends intelligence becomes more widely diff.
fused. As intelligence increases crime and
immortality decrease. Is it not, then, for the
public good, that paper like the ADVOCATE
should have large number of readers? Go
to work, friends, and get your neighbors to
for the paper. If each subscriber
would get another the circulation would be
doubled at once. 1t can be done, if its
friends would speak good word for it. The
price is fifty cents for three months, one dol
lar for six, and two dollars year.

ton, with sermon, at IL a. m. Morning
prayer was said at a. M, and evening prayer
