There was the famous horse fiddle, the best
tuned we ever heard; there were tin pans and
drums, big horns and guns, sleigh bells and
steel bars; in fact, every noisy instrument was
brought into requisition, and the din was fear
full. 1t could be heard for five miles around.
Clarence Brown was arch-fend of the night,
and gave his orders by swinging his leg and
his lantern at the same time. After marching
around the house several times and banging
away for about an hour, finally the chimney
was covered, when the bride and groom APP
peared. This satisfied the crowd. a traveller
was stopping at the hotel at the time, and had
retired. He remarked that Sylcsville was a
Sheol Of place.
John Voorhees,, aged Is years, son of Mrs.
John Voorhees,, was accidentally shot in the
eye on MONDAY evening last, Wy d plSIOl WHICH

with shot, and dropped from his pocket on a
rock, exploding the cap. Two of the shot
struck him in the right eye. He was taken to
Baltimore, and it Is feared he will lose the
sight of the eye.
Dr. D. B. Sprecher has removed his Office

aged years and months.
Little Nettie our darling,
Pride of all our hearts at home,
But an angle came and whispered,
Little Nellie do come home.
Her little chair is empty,
Her playthings laid aside.
And loving hearts weeping
For our dear pet that died.
We listen for her footsteps
So often we have heard,
And for voice of music
Like the MARBLE of bird.
Home is sad oh God how dreary,
Lonesome, lonesome every spot;
Listening for her voice till weary,
Weary, for we hear IL not.
But we hope again to meet her,
She has only before gone;
She is safe now across the river,
Waiting for papa and mamma to come.
BY HER PARENTS.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1885.
To All Whom It May Concern.

The year just closing has been a dull one in
business. and the ADVOCATE has felt the gen
oral depression with other establishments.
While the volume of business with us has ex-
ceeded that of any former year, cash receipts
have fallen off about sixth. 1t is not our
custom to remind those indebted to the office
Of their Indebtedness through the columns of
the ADVOCATE, and no such notice has APP
nrared for ten years. We are now sending
ont bills for advertising, job-work and sub
scription. and we have referred to the falling
off in receipts in order to let delinquents
know the Importance of prompt settlement.
All who receive bills are expected to settle up
at once, either by cash or note.

who IL Sau.Ah.fsPah?

Sau means Mister. Ah-Brah is modified
Burmese term for Abraham; hence Sau-Ah-
Brah anglicized is Mr.. Abraham. There are
no Burmese family names. Ah-Brah is a
given name, like John or William with us.
He is a native of Henthada, in Burmah,
Farther India.
He is a born humorist; he sees and appre-
ciates, and makes his audience see and ap-
preciate, the ludicrous side of life.
He is about 35 years of age, and speaks
English fluently and as prettily as only we'll
educated foreigner can.
He appears on the platform surrounded by
about s., 600 worth of bamboo goods, native
silks, images and curos, comprising all the
furniture and ornament of Burmese house
and a Burmese temple of worship.
He dresses as an infant, and shows the
Burmese manner of using or abusing boy
or girl baby how they feed them, how they
amuse them, how they rejoice or mourn over
their birth, how they dress them, &c.
lie impersonates the rich nobleman, sur
rounded by wealth and friends, how he eats,
sleeps, walks, receives company in his house
on stills, how he worships his idols, how he
seeks wife, how he marries, how he builds
his home and makes his clothes.
He impersonates the poor Burmese; shows
how he makes his house of bamboo, his fur
niture of bamboo, his dishes, knives, pals,
and vessels of bamboo, his clothes of bam-
boo, his breakfast dinner and supper of bam-
boo, his lunch of bamboo, and two-thirds of
his life of bamboo.
He also impersonates the Burmese "Girl of
the Period" and before his audience dresses
and redresses without the use of single pin,
hook, button or suspender, and he does not
tie on with a string his hundred costumes.
He illustrates the Burmese death-bed scene;
his method Of embalming; his hideous funer
al dancing, his frantic funeral chant, his
search for rest, and transmigration of the
soul.
He sings the songs of the Orient: "The
Evening Lullaby;' ''The Dirty of the Little
East India Girl "Song of the Rice Plant
re- Glove Song" and Wedding Carol"
He has the ability of making the minutest
detail of Burmese life, and of his personal ex-
perience in securing an education, the most
interesting, thrilling, and yet most mirth-pro
voking story ever Tired before an English
speaking people.
Sau-Ah- Brah will appear at Odd Fellows
Hall, Westminster, on Friday night next.
The entertainment will begin at 7.l5 sharp,
in order that those from the country can re-
turn to their homes by moonlight. Don't fail

Farmers could do nothing that would pay
better than to haul lime. Not much to do
