LANCASTER MARkEr.

During the holidays, trade has
been very dull and the markets have
been of. AS Wednesday is the main
shipping day there was not much done
at this point during the two weeks just
past, but buyers are looking for raise
in prices and heavier shipments after
the first of the year. Seven car loads
of stock have been shipped from here
during the week, comprising four OF
hogs, two of cattle and one OF horses.
The shipments for the month of Decem-
bel were "a loads of hogs, 10 OF cattle
2 of sheep, 6 of horses, besides live loads
of Excelsior and two of pig lead.

a CHRISTMAS JOKE.

During the past few weeks, owing to
the warm weather and slight rains, the
streets of this city became so badly cut
up from the heavy loads passing over
them, that whenever it rained the water
gathered in pools here and there
throughout the city. Many ludicrous
remarks were made concerning these
ponds, and the idea with some was to
have them stocked with fish, but the
whole thing came to climax the night
before Christmas. Somebody with a
little wit and great deal of ingenuity,
having caught the idea that one OF the
streets would make an excellent and
attractive park, proceeded to do what
nature had not as yet done. The lakes
were stocked with fish, and pleasuse
boat was equipped and launched upon
the waters of one of them. Here and
there were warnings to keep off the
grass" and tho positive mo fishing
allowed together with other signs, all
of which were very appropriate. Not
outstanding the rules set forth by the
different sign boards, there were two
men caught in the act of violating
them. From appearances they were
game lovers, and were having good
luck, for they had become SO intent up
on theirspo that, when morning came,
they were there yet-one on the bank
with fishing tackle in land, and the
other intently watching the game from
his boat being men of straw they
remained all day Christmas. much to
the amusement of the passing crowds.
The whole matter expressed more
than words could possibly convey, to
the tax paying grumbler, and was an
immense success as a ludicrou take
off.

CHRISTMAS ECHOES

Christmas services were held in all
the churches. The Episcopal church

mas eve, each one receiving a present.
The school numbers one hundred and
fifteen and all engaged in the services.
which were gwen in German, and con
sisted of remarks by the Superintendent
and recitations and songs by the Schol,
ars.
The Grand Holiday Ball given By the
PhoenixFireCompany was perfect sue
cess, many coming from the surround
ing places in spite of rough roads. The
Firmen appeared in uniform and looked
happy. Excellent music was furnished
by the Excelsior orchestra and the
GAINESVILLE assistants. Supper was fur
nished at John Pendleton's and Mrs.
Weber's restaurants. About 800 was
cleared to the company.
Among other amusements was q
shooting match at the fair ground. The
best shots were made by A. G. Morse
at sixty yards and Rollin Walker at
twenty yards
