Knoeble, 10th District.-The first breath
| of winter, crisp and Keen reached us this week.
Icicles in fantastic shape glistened in the sun,
| while the last green leaf and lingering flower
/ withered and yielded to the hoar-frost touch.
The farmers are busily engaged securing cab
bage and roots, putting away plows and cult
vators, cleaning, repairing and building ice
| houses and, in some places the fall butchering
has made considerable Roadway and the sweet
marioram and savory herbs have done their
utmost to counteract the less stimulating yet
simmerng kettle of his pork-ship's grossness.
With much regret | announce the death of
Mr.. Charles A. Base, which occurred this week.
He was young man who was well and favor
versal sympathy is expressed for this family
which has been so heavily and recently be
reaved
The ladies connected with Chestnut Grove
Church held their annual oyster supper this
week and received the accustomed patronage
Pastor Reese is becoming even more popular
and benignantly takes as matter of course the
Hourshing condition of his congregation, the
result of his untiring labors.
The entertainment given by the teachers
and pupils of No. school at Sweet Air exceed
ed even the anticipatlons of all connected there
with and the affair can well be classed among
the very best given in this vicinity. Long be-
fore the exercises commenced carriage after
carriage rolled up and deposited both young
and old who filled every available space. The
Rotations &C., was all that could be desired,
carefully selected and rendered and fully deser-
we'd the praise bestowed. Professor and Mrs.
Singleton and Miss Mamie Morrison gave choice
selections of instrumental music and the vocal
parts by the pupils We're capable and pretty,
especially the singing of Misses Carrie Conk-
ling and CESSNA Weyhausen. Miss Annie Buff
fngton's recitation of 'Mary OConnor'' was
one of the gems fthe evening. Threading of
"The Telefone," by Miss Ella Price, was ex-
cellent The selections given by Miss Emma
Cathell were true to life and carefully portray
ed. ''The Mousse created much fun and was
well read In fact all were so good that it
would be difficult to discriminate, yet the Misses
O'Donovan, Maggie Price, Reese, Cursey, Linse,
Wilson, Cummings and the Messrs. Marshall,
Halle Woodward and Willie Conkling were
all good and deserve much praise. To Miss
Mary l.. Dougherty the efficient principal, who
looked charming and created her several parts
admirably, too much credit cannot be given
and there was general regret that we did not
hear more from her. Everything moved
pleasantly, the costuming was all that could be
desired while the tableauX were true and fully
appreciated.
Coon hunting is all the rage and more
grotesque picture cannot be imagined than
that presented by old ''Uncle'' Henry Ayers,
with his plated locks, SLOUGH hat, long boots,
string of dogs and retinue of followers. Among
the latter are all classes and colors. One of our
estimable citizens, a government emplOye of
over two hundred averdupois. attempted to
follow the trail of this knight of the woods and
after scrambling over rocks and rills, tressels
and steep ravines houndering through water
fall and river, gave up the effort and returned
to his office a weaker but wiser aspirant.-
"Uncle'' Henry smiles to himself and scorns
the idea of anything human attempting to keep
up with "hisself and Powder-face Nell"
