EPHRAIM NOTES.

EprroR DEMOCRAT: The Ephraimites
are spending the holidays as happily as ii
there was not deputy marshal within a
thousand miles OF here. a select ball
was given in the Academy building on
Christmas night, and all the elite OF the
city were invited to join in the may
dance.
At the Presbyterian Church on Christ
mas Eve the parents and scholars oil the
school met to have u good time the
church was comfortably heated and bril-
liantly lighted At the head of the room
were two large Christmas trees, heavily
laden with glittering array OF presents
for the children, and all over the trees
were many colored wax candles, which
gave the scene beautiful effect ano
made the happy children laugh with JOY
and the parents were just as happy to see
the mirth OF the children. A short but
excellent programme was given by the
scholars, consisting of music, sing
ing, Rotations, Christmas pieces, etc;
after which the whole company adjourned
not sine die, but over to Larsen's Hall
close by, where Widespread table!
groaning under the weight oil gooo
things, was ready for the guests, Each
person was provided with n tall paper
hat. 1t was novel and comical sight to
see upward OF seventy people OF all heights
and sizes, old and young, with those tall
pointed hats on their heads, nodding. to
each other and laughing until their sides
ached. Enjoyment and good will was
the order OF Christmas Eve, 1885. Too
much credit cannot be given to. Miss Res
and her two able assistants, Miss Smith
and Miss Cougle, ladies from California
on a visit to Miss Rea. Everything wen
off smoothly and tremendously. The
thanks OF all present were freely rendered
to Miss Rea and assistants for their truly
happy gathering Of so many friends ant
the happiness enjoyed by all; may the,
live to see many happy returns.

A sufficient number OF names OF veter-

Post No. l, will be mustered in early
next week at Milford.
At.the Stormont property, the main in
cline has run through some good ore
within tina past few days it is now down
eighty-tive feet below the six hundred
level. The slopes are looking well and
furnished an average OF forty tons Of fair
grade ore to the mill during the past
week.
Blind Jim Logan and boy had mar
row escape from death the other day in
Taylor district, Nevada, says the South
ern Utah Times. They were descending
the Monitor hill when their blackboard
brake broke and allowed the vehicle to
get away with the cayuse. Strange to
say, when the youth and old gentleman
were dug out of the debris caused by the
collision OF their outfit with an ore wagon
both were found almost without a scratch
The holiday hop at Frisco given under
the auspices of the A. o. U. W., Garfield
Lodge, No. 5, was largely attended, ant
was quite brilliant affair and was wei
conducted, as parties given by either o
the Lodges always are. Forty couples
were present, and tripped the light fan
tastic to the strains OF inspiring music
until the peep o. day. The spacious din
ing hall OF the Southern Hotel, where TIL,
hop was held, was decked in holiday at
tire, and the banquet given in the lodg'
room gave zest to the gay event.

b. b. Young,s Sacred Concert.

The Walker Opera House was comfort
ably filled Sunday evening by fashion
able and appreciative audience. The
programme was especially adapted for
the Christmas season, being largely COM
posed OF the gems from Handel's great
oratorio of ''The Messiah" The solos
and duets were nicely selected and eX-
ceptionally well rendered. Mr.. B. b.
Young, it is only necessary to state, sang
his two numbers, the second with accom-
paniment OF male voices, in his accus-
toned elegant style, and his superb bari
tone did full justice to his selections.
Mr.. T. Crawford's bass solo, recitative
and aria, was very fine. The several
runs were executed with great smooth
ness and evenness throughout, and his
selection was well adapted TO his fine
bass voice.
Mr.. w. w. Macintosh sang Charity"
by Faure, and surprised his many friends
by his excellent voice and style of rem
dering this beautiful solo, showing careful
training and study. Mr.. Macintosh is a
rising young singer, and bids fair to rank
high as tenor.
The duet, "He Shall Feed His Flock )"
sang by Mrs. Druce-Pugsley and Miss
Grace Amy, was one OF the gems OF the
evening. Miss Amy has very pleasing
"mezzo" voice, and sang with much feel
ing. Mrs. Pugsley has an exceptionally
fine soprano voice, and used it we'll, and
We anticipate the pleasure OF soon hear
ing her again.
The choruses were excellent, and they
went with vim and spirit, with the
small exception of little drag in the last
number.
Mr.. Willard Weihe's contributions tc
the programme were two beautiful selec.
tons, Concerto" and "Rcverie,' u
both rendered with Mr.. Weihe's we'll
known finished style and execution.
Prof. Radcliffe presided at the organ in
his usual happy manner, and Madame
Young at the piano is mastery and I'M
exceled. AS whole it was Il grand
success, and we trust these monthly
sacred concerts may be considered per.
manency in Salt Lake. They are what
the people want, and are sure to receive
the support OF all lovers OF good music.
