uary. On motion of Mr.. Warner the follow
ing was unanimously adopted
Resolced, That in the subscription schools

Uniontown Items.

New Years day was observed in a very
quiet manner here. Because OF the very
slushy streets and unfavorable weather, the
congregations in the different churches were
unusually small, although the services were
of an interesting character and appropriate to
the day.
Monday was regarded by many of our citi-
zens as legal holiday. The noise of the
fire. cracker and the horn of the masquerader,
was heard in marked contrast to the quietude
of Sunday.
On Wednesday evening, December 18th,
the residence of Henry Blaxsten, near Mid
dletown, was the scene of pretty home we'd
ding, the contracting parties being Miss ARna,
third daughter of Mr.. Blaxsten, and Mr.. lr-
wing Harbaugh, of Pipe Creek Station. The
ceremony was performed by Elder Solomon
Stoner, assisted Ly Rev. G. w. Seilhamer.
The bride received many useful and ornamen-
tai presents. A handsome collation. was served
during the evening, and the guests, who mum.
bered about sixty, did ample justice to the
delicacies Of the season.
The dedication of the Church of God at
Middetown, which was to have taken place
Sunday last, was postponed on account of the
unfavorable weather.
Many citizens in and around town who have
ice houses have taken advantage of the freeze
up and have filled them with fine ice from
four to six inches thick.
Miss Sallie Hoffman has been spending the
holidays with friends and relatives in Balti-
more and Philadelphia. Her brother Howard
is also in Baltimore.
d. A. c. Webster, our representative in
House of Delegates, left for Baltimore Mon

At present there are several subjects which
absorb considerable attention in our commu-
nifty, the first of which is the public school
question, which has been under discussion for
several months We learn that Wesley and
Browns schq9ls will not be closed at the end
of the winter termi nothing definite from our
village school. One Of the others Ia revision
of the game law. Some think that partridges
ought to be better protected, as they are almost
exterminated
Quite number of our farmers are still en-,
gagged in hauling hay and straw to the Balti
more market, and while speaking of this we
will relate an incident that occurred recently:
One of the professional leaders in this vicin.
ity built a load of rye straw, to be taken to
Baltimore, in such a manner that it was neces-
sary to reload it four times before it reached
its destination. To cap the climax, the last
misfortune took place in the city.
Most Of our farmers are about done butch
ering. The latest report Is Michael Walsh.

The Great Litararu rreat

No announcement for some time has caused
such pleasant anticipations in Westminster,
perhaps, as that Mrs. Scott Siddons, the yer.
satile and accomplished elocutionist and
reciter, would give one of her matchess en-,
tertainments at Odd Fellows Hall, this city,
on Thursday evening, January 10th. And
the citizens of Westminster are to be oongrat,
ulated upon having the opportunity at home,
and at small cost, of hearing such celebrity.
Mrs. Scott-Siddons has never appeared in
place as small as Westminster in this coun-
try; and her appearance here at this time is
rather accidental. She has engagements at
Hagerstown, Frederick, Baltimore and An.
napolis. For Thursday night, the 10Th, she
had no appointment, and her agent made ar
engagements for her to put in the evening here
rather than to seek an engagement at a dis
lance. Her engagements are all made upon
a guarantee, and she receives from 500 to
$3.50 per night, according TO the size of the
cities she visits. She visits Westminster
without . guarantee, however, which is n
compliment to our little city, and one that
should be acknowledged by giving her cor.
dial reception. Every seat in Odd Fellows
Hall should be filled, and all who go will be
amply repaid. The program will include
humorous, pathetic and dramatic Rotations,
and cannot fail to please.

The Christmas entertainment did not come
off until last Monday evening at the Paiapsco
NJ L. Church. The church was beautifully
decorated for the occasion with evergreens
and flowers. A large Christmas tree stood
on either side of the pulpit laden with con-
dictionaries and fruits, aud large arch bear
ing the motto ''Songs of Alteration" In gilt
letters stood Just in front of the altar. The
house was crowded TO its utmost capacity.
The exercises consisted of singing, responsive
YeadiIGs, recitations, essays and declarations.
They were opened by singing ''We are Com
ing" and prayer by Mr.. George Stnll. The
singing was good and was led by Mr.. Lewis
Kelbsugh, accompanied..by instrumental mu-
sic rendered by Miss Laura E. Bush upon the
organ. All the exercises were executed in a
gqpger quite entertaining to the large audi
enee. Xftsr the performances were over,
then the large Christians trees were stripped
of the good things that hung upon them, and
they were divided among the Sunday School
scholars and teachers.
A series of meetings will begin at the church
on next Sunday, the 9Th inst, conducted by
Rev. w. c. Babcock, the pastor in charge.
