The weather is cold and heavy sleet
covers the earth. December has dOnncd
the bablliments Of stern winter, and the
frost king reigns supreme. The season of
good cheer to all is however close at hand,
and now is the winter Of our discomfort
made glorious summer by the nightly Wis
its Of the bellsnickles, the preparations for
the Yule- tide, the gathering in Of the
mistletoe, &c, &c.
The Lutheran Sunday school will hold
their Christmas tree in their church on
Christmas morning. The church will be
darkened for the occasion, and lighted ny
with wax candles. The services for the
occasion will be in keeping with the time
honored custom of the followers Of the
great Reformer, and are in charge Of a
committee of ladies and gentlemen uncx
oelled in such affairs. TO say that the
hearts Of the little ones will be made glad
would be putting it lightly.
The Methodist Sunday school, as usual
will hold their Christmas tree festivities
! on the night Of Christmas eve, at which
time an elaborate and well arranged pro
gramme gotten up by the different com
mittees appointed for thisspecial occasion
will bo gone through with, and judging
from efforts made on similar occasions il
the past, will doubtless be a success. Tn
choir and musical part of tho programm
will be under the supervision Of that prime
of musicians, Prof. J. +. EVERY, tina
whom besides, there is none better quail
fed to cater to the taste Of the public i
this particular line.

We laid before you large paper crowded

abroad. Don't you really think you should
make an effort 20 pay usi II is small
sum TO you, and you will not miss it the
day after you have paid it, but these small
sums in the aggregate make large amount
to us. The expenses Of an Office like the
HERALD are very heavy and we must meet
the bills. Our hands cannot I've on all
and empty promises. They must be paid,
and how are we to do it unless you pay
us. Think over this matter and see II
your conscience won't tell you that you
have not treated us fairly. Can't yOu
deny yourself some useless luxury during
the coming holidays and let us have the
money thus saved : We must have money
and we expect you to pay up between now

The patrons of Mt. Calvary school,
Stonewall District, are giving evidence OF
a spirit Of enterprise just now by painting
their school-house inside and outside ac-
cording to the latest style. The people OF
the neighborhood contributed, from theiT
own private means, enough to finish up
the house with a handsome belfry, and
they expect 10 hang bell there in a few
DAYS. The Trustees, seeing that the peo-
pie took so great an interest in this work
added still more to the comfort and salts
faction Of all concerned, by supplying
them with a number ofgood patent desks
We have no doubt that these manifesto
tions Of interest in school work contribut
ed. 10 some extent, toward securing thu
service of the two experienced teacher
who are now successfully employed there
Teachers like pleasant surroundings
Calvary has the handsomest school-hous'
in the county. Whether she shall hav'
