Generous provision was made at each
of the churches for the proper observ-
ance of Christmas eve ceremonies.
They were well filled with happy and
eXpectant throngs, and, SO far as we
have learned, nothing occurred to mar
the harmony of the occasion.
Sheriff McFarlin, on the authority of
Prosecuting Attorney Breck, has re-
leased the man BarrOws on his own

that he was arrested on the charge of
stealing a team from Mrs. Wineholtz,
of Berlamont, this county, in 1871
Mr.. l. b. Connor has two pigs in Will
sons market, that are probably the
finest specimens i'm this county. One
weighs 492 lbs, the other 419 lbs. If
any one can beat this record with year
! lings, let us hear from him. These
pigs are dressed up in holiday attire,
and are worth seeing.

The weather has been very unfavor-
able for holiday trade, and has certain
! ly had depressing effect upon all
! kinds of business. Our streets have
been well filled with people in search
of Christmas goods the few days when
|
ever, and merchants report having dis
posed of good share of the liberal
stocks purchased by them.
Rev G.. p. Linderman, with his wife
and two children, reached Paw Paw
last Thursday afternoon. The rever-

village. The citizens of Paw Paw
will gladly welcome Nh. Linderman
and family to their midst, and much
pleasure is expressed that he has thus
determined To again locate here.
Mrs. Barr, whose serious illness we
noticed last week, died at the home of

brief service, consisting of IA few re-
marks and prayer by Rev Harvey, was

Heckert left with the remains for Ohio,
where regular services will be held at
the former home of the deceased.
Judge and Mrs Heckert expected to re-
turn To Paw Paw in about one week.
Wallace Hayes and William Lett,
two colored citizens, are languishing in
the county Jail, charged with assaulting
and robbing Mr.. Harvey Cook an old
man, of Berlamont one night last
week. When arraigned before Justice
Rowland they pleaded guilty of the of
fense, and were bound over to the cir
cult court. Judge Buck will probably
sentence them at the January term of
court. Sheriff McFarlin and assistants
are entitled to credit for the prompt
ness with which they acted in securing
these villains
