Christmas Cattle.

We see from the Chicago Drouers'
Journal that Missouri and Illinois are
furnishing most of the Christmas
cattle this year; and we claim Aud
rain as the banner county of this
state. There has been a great many
good cattle shipped from Northeast
Missouri recently, but those fed by
Wm.Stuart & Son, of this county, were
undoubtedly the finest lot fed or
shipped by any one in this part of the
state. There were 70 head and they
averaged 1880 lbs. in Chicago. Sew
enty-two were sold to a New York
butcher for Christmas beeves at S6.35
per hundred. They were pronounced
by cattle men, and all who saw them,
a superior drove of cattle. There
have been heavier cattle shipped from
several points in Missouri, but none
of them brought the price Or were as
much admired as those fed by Messrs.
Stuart C Son, and shipped by c. D.
Hudson, of Marshall, Mo. If any
one in the great state Of Missouri
can beat the ~ head of cattle above
referred to Audrain county would
like to hear from them.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
Rush HILL, Dec. 23.-Our festival
here last week, under the direction of
the Red Apron club, was in every way
a success, for it was an exceedingly
enjoyably affair and financially it ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tons. The amount taken in was
sixty-ive dollars and ffty-five cents.
The expenses were small az almost
everything was donated, and we are
authorized to extend, through this
paper, the cordial thanks Of the club
for the liberality of the people in
making those donations and in COM
ing out both evenings to partake Of
the supper, for although but one
had been intended, the beuntiful sup
ply of provisions served for two.
There are also thanks due the band
boys for their excellent music on
both evenings it added greatly to
the pleasures of the occasion. We
noticed amoung those present several
from other towns-Miss Carrie Lack
land, of Mexico, Mr.. VIM. johnson,
of near Mexico, Rev. Travis, Chas.
and John Beal, of Laddonia.

To All CHI istian People.

The regular Christmas-day service
will be held this year, as usual, at St.
Paul's Episcopal Church at II o'clock
in the morning. This is the only
religious service held in this city on
Christmas day at any Protestant
church, and all Christian people are
cordially invited to join in observing
this day, which we commemorate in
honor of that greatest gift to men,
the birth of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, by taking part in this
service of prayer and praise. The
sermon will be preached by the Rec.
tor from Heb. I, IL, and the offering
will be devoted to the relief of the
aged and infrm ministers in this
state. The church has been beauti-
fully trimmed with evergreens and
moss brought from Wisconsin forth
purpose.

If Prof. Yancey would furnish
some place for reporters to sit they
could give amore satisfactory report
of a college entertainment. When a
newspaper reporter lies on his stom-
ach under the stove and uses his hat
for a desk he can't write in the same
strain he would if he was setting
even on top of the stove. This is
merely e suggestion. The LEDGER
reporter got along all 0. X. The
