Snu-Ah-Rrah,s Entertainment.

u-Ah- Brah was highly commended to the
citizens of Westminster and vicinity, but his
entertainment last Friday night proved that
not one word too much was said as to his
ability to amuse, entertain and instruct. AL
though the night was cold and the heavens
were clouded, Odd Fellows Hall was well
flied. The audience was made up largely by
those who are rarely ever seen at the hall
The clergy, the bench, the bar, the business
men, the college professors and students were
present, and nearly half of the audience was
composed of ladies. Deep interest was man.
Tested by all, and there was no interruption,
except when laughter was provoked, for Sau-
All Brah is humorist. His lecture-fOr that
it really was-was exceedingly instructive,
and impressively so, for the most of it was
illustrated. There was much humor In 1t,
too; but the humorous parts were also lnstruc-
tive. For over two hours he talked and acted
and Illustrated and few realized the lapse of
time. He is a good speaker and graceful
actor, and carried his audience to Farther
India with him-told of the climate, the soil,
the agriculture; how the Burmese build their
houses, how they live, how they sleep, how
they eat, how they worship, how they dress,
how they marry, &c. He exhibited pieces of
making almost everything the Burmese need,
and exhibited silks and idols and curios of
various kinds We will not attempt to enum-
crate all the subjects of his two hours lecture,
for that would occupy too much space, and
even then no adequate idea would be con-
veyed of the excellence of his entertainment.
Suffice it to say, however, that those present
passed an evening Of rare enjoyment, and
those that did not attend missed the best en-
tertainment of the kind that has been given
here for some years. Had he been prepared
to give his second program, and remained
over, the hall would scarcely have accommo.
dated his audience on Saturday night. FL
nancially, the receipts were about equal to
the expenses, but the committee are more
gratified that the entertainment exceeded pub
lie expectation and was really enjoyed by all.

The case of John Uzubur VS.. John H.
Levin was concluded in the Circuit Court on
Tuesday noon, by verdict of $1,000 for the
plaintiff. The case was removed to Carroll
from Baltimore county, and was on trial
twelve days. As heretofore noted Levin and
Uzuber are neighbors, and both claimed a
strip of land in a woods. Uzuber used some
fencing and timber on the disputed strip, and
Levin charged him with theft before a magis-
trate who held him to bail for the action of
the Grand Jury. Levin failed to go before
the Grand Jury for eight successive terms,
and then Uzuber brought suit for malicious
prosecution with the above result. Messrs.
Niles & Wolf and Roberts were attorneys
for the plaintiff, and Messrs Yellott, Boarman
and Col. Maulsby for the defendant.
The next case considered, was that of the
State versus Elizabeth Otto, indicted for
naming, beating, &C., little six-year-old
daughter of Luke Bitzell, near TaDeytown.
The accused lived with Bitzell, and the testi-
mony went to show that the child had been
badly misused by somebody. The case was
tried before the court, and on Wednesday the
accused was adjuged guilty of assault and
sentenced to two months in the county Jail.
Henning for the States McKellip Il Clabaugh
for the accused.
Last fall some time a fight occurred at
Smallwood, and out oft grew two indictments,
one against Elias B. Arnold for assault and
battery on John Baker, and one against VIM.
Blizzard for assault and battery on John +.
Baker. The cases were taken up on Wednes-
day afternoon, Henning and Clabaugh for the
State and Bond for the accused. Arnold was
tried before a jury and acquitted. Blizzard
was tried before the court, adjudged guilty,
and sentenced to pay S. fine and costs.
The case of the State VS.. Charles johnson,
charged with theft of horse, was begun on
Wednesday afternoon, Henning representing
the State and Bond appearing for the accused.
johnson was accused of stealing horse from
Burt Williams, on the Washington road, near
Westminster, and the case was tried before
the court. johnson was adjudged guilty
Yesterday, and sentenced to six years in the
penitentiary.
On Thursday afternoon the case of the
State vs. Levi L. Williams, of Woolery's dis
trict, indicted for obstructing public road
Henning for the State; Seabrook for accused
was taken up. The case was concluded by a
verdict of acquittal.
The same afternoon a jury was empanneled
in the ejectment suit of VIM. Dempsey VS..
Mary, Airy and Daniel Gillis-Reifsnider &
Fink for plaintiff; Bond for defendant. The
case was continued yesterday.

Now Oxford PAL Items.

On Saturday morning, December 18th,
about l o'clock, the cry of fire was heard IN
our streets, the light Illuminating the town
as brgh as day light. 1t was soon discov-
cred that the old Miley hotel stable was on
fre-formerIy occupied by Mr.. l. D: W..
Stonsifer, now of the Montour house, West
minister. Mr.. Lau occupies the house, and
lost fine horse and COW. The stable IS
occupied by Mr.. Myers as livery, and he
lost four horses, five carriages and two sielghs,
with the contents of the stable. The building
was frame and the fire soon communicated to
Hershy's large brick building, which was to-
tally destroyed with its entire contents, con-
sisting of wheat, rye, corn oats, hay. fodder,
&C., everything except the live stock, which
was gotten out. The total loss by the fire was
about So 200, with an insurance of Sl7O0 on
the brick building, 81 900 on livery stock, and
$500 on the frame building. TWAS with diff
Guilty that the surrounding buildings were
saved.

the temperature has been cold since then.
Two inches of snow fell on Sunday, then rain

People must be all out of meat as they are
butchering their hogs and their beeves in this
place and neighborhood.
Business appears to be brisk, as almost
every person is on the go, and store keepers
appear to be as busy as bees, and so with our
mechanics.
Our farmers are about done with their out
door work, and now they are fully prepared
for winter
We have not as yet had much snow, yet it
has showed on eight different days, but nearly
all squalls or spittings.
Never has dry goods and clothing been sold
at such remarkably low figures as they are
going for now at our dry goods houses.
Our marksmen are out almost daily after
rabbits and quail. Some are successful in
bagging, and others are not.

The protracted meeting, as announced, be-
gan at Zion Chapel on Sunday, December 9th,
and has been in progress eight nights since.
The meeting has been well attended by the
people of this and other neighborhoods.
The members of the church have had good
revival among themselves, and up to this
time there has been seven penitents and four
conversions. The meeting will be continued
while there are attending penitents.
The weather, recently, has been very in,
clement here, especially last Sunday and
Monday. The recent cold snap made its way
into some of our cellars and froze a few pota.
tees, and pot flowers, WHICH had been stored
away for the winter.
The Zion Sabbath School has decided to
hold its Christmas anniversary this year at
the church, on Thursday night, December
S1st, commencing at O. clock, if the weather
be fair; and if not, on the first fair night
thereafter, except Sunday night. The school
purposes to have Christmas tree beautifully
decorated, and programme consisting of
speeches and dialogues, interspersed with
vocal music. The proceeds are for the benefit
of the pastor in cha rye.

Christmas,

Christmas is coming, and the juvenile world
is happy at the prospect of the good things
awaiting them. The celebration in our coun-
ty of this, the greatest festival in the year, is
the occasion of merry making, dinner parties,
family gatherings and social reunions. In
most of the States in Europe, it is strictly a
church day, and the appearance of things look
very much like a Puritan Sunday. Persons
takes place on the next day, when everybody
has good time. The poor, afflicted and sick
are well remembered, and charities of all
kinds are extended, and in the nothern states
even the wild birds of the air are fed, and
domestic animals receive double rations.
Let us profit by these beautiful customs and
extend our charities to all those in need, as
there is no better time in the year to do it than
on Christmas day.
