Christmas.
The great holiday so universally ob
served in almost every country and by
almost every race of Christianized peo"
pie, has come and gone again, with all
its joys and sorrows, its pleasures and,
we might say, its pains, only we doubt if
there are not some headaches still linger,
ihg behind as we write, but they too will
probably be gone before this article is
read by the subscribers to, and borrowers
of the Journal
Preparations for Christmas were com
menced early in the week and large quan
tities of toys, presents and provisions
were secured several days in advance.
But the rush for Christmas presents and
provisions culminated on
CHRITMAS EVE.
The different provision houses were
jammed with people bearing away large
baskets filled with meats, poultry, veget
ables and other choice comestibles, and
the stores, jewelry shops and toy shops
were also crowded, and shop keepers
looked tired and jaded with the unusual
amount of labor they had been called
on to perform. Christmas trees were in
great demand and many very handsome
ones were constructed by prirate fam"
lies. So great was the rage for this
Drnidic conception that we heard of a
case where a man had trimmed a nice
fir in his front yard, and gathering np
tie" lopped off twigs, and, boring holes in
a stright hickory cane, construct 'd a
handsome imitation of a Christmas tree,
which he sold for $1 50. Turkies were
almost as abundant as porkers in Cincin
uati.and live turkeys were carried through
the street wearing a look of ho ieless res
ignation as if they new their fate. Ducks
ceased tcjpack out of respect prola'jly
of the doctors, and chickens and quails
were unceremoniously consigned to the
perditions of the kitchen and the pantry
The little people ran along the streets
in crowds gazing with eager delight and
hope and regret at the innumerable
sparkling and shining toys, and Christ
mss presents in the various
sHow-windows, wishing that Kris Kinkle
would slip this or that toy into their
atoctlrijje, white they alept.
Parents crowded into the toy shops,
selecting for Wiliie and Harry and Fan
nieand Effie and Annie and Carrie, and
young men and yonng women were look
ing oat rich gifts for sweet hearts and
lovers.
The streets were crowded with hurry
ing and loitering people, and young Am
erica in crowds clustered cn the corners
with cigar or lucifer match in one hand
a shooting cracker in the other, and a
bundle of the same Chinese invention in
their pockets, and pop, pop went the lit
tie torpedoes on every hand, and at al
most every step, timid maidens were
heard to utter a merry scream as the tor.
pedoes exploded at their feet
The)passer by was often startled by the
loud report of the mimic cannon planted
on the enrb stone, and joyous greetings
and curious inquiries were heard on
every hand.
Many of the Sabbath Schools held their
levees, and gathered the rich fruits from
v.. Ir handsome Christmas trees, acconnts
of which, so far as we were able to gath
er theWwe published in our last issue,
and at an early hour the little folks
tucked themselves away in their snug
little'beds, to dream of the brilliant scenes
they had witnessed, after strictly charg
ing papa and mama to wake them early
on
christmas morn-iso.
" : Could' aTl the scenes of joy and eager
delight, and also of disappointment, too,
that transpired on that beautiful morn,
have been witnessed by the same per
son, for what a huge and delightful vol
ume they would have afforded material.
How many young hearts were made
glad, how many tears of disappointment
were shed, must forever remain unwrit
ten. '
The happy ones, we hope, were by far
the most numerous, and the streets were
early crowded with joyous little creatures
anxious to tell their little friends what
Santa Class bad sent them, and to in
quire what they had received themselves,
and everything looked animated and joyj
ous, and the bright sun, the balmy air,
the happy hearts and the rich gifts, all
conspired to make this a most delightful
and beautiful
CHRISTMAS DAY.
The usual religions services were
held in several of the churches, and the
usual Christmas dinners were partaken
, . . , v
of, the usual amount of candies and
s .veet-meats devoured, the usual wishes
of " merry Christmas" were ex.
chmnged. The usual amount of gun-
powder was burnt, and perhaps more
than tWe usual amount of good and bad
Yraisky and other stimulente were drank,
and at a late hour at night the quiet
families retired to their couches, many
thanking God for the bounties, the mer
cies and pleasures of the day, and ail
wishing for themselves and their friends,
as we do for our many thousand readers,
A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
A Cold Bath. A young lad fell into
the riveroff Hall's wharf-boat, Saturday
afternoon, but swam to shore, experi -
encing nothing more, as we hope, than a
sort of chilly sensation.

UlS.-Br an odi most pleasant
leniinisecace of Christmas day, to us as
to hundreds of others, will be the Christ
mas tree and festival of the Sabbath
School connected with the Old School
Presbyterian church, held on Christmas
morning in the church, corner of Second
and Vine street. The house was dense
ly crowded with the scholars, their pa
rents and their friends, and everything
passed off in the most pleasant and de
lightful manner.
The exercises were opened by music
by the choir, and the invocation of the
Divine presence and blessing by the pas
tor, Rev. Alex. Sterrctt. This wa3 t'ollow-
pithy speeches by several little boys of
the school.
Addresses were then made by Rev.
Mr.Sterrett, J. F. Glover, Esq., Rev. Mr.
Walters of the Methodist church, and
Mr. McCullousjh, of Henderson.
All the speeches were excellent and ex
ceedingly appropriate to the occasion.
Mr. MeCullough, who is a Sunday
School Missionary, and has established
more schools and brought under their
influence more children, perhaps, than
any man in the West, was particularly
felicitous in his address which was plain,
simple and comprehensive, being admira
bly adapted to the understanding of the
children.
But the most interesting and attrac
tive speech of all was that made to the
children by the magnificent Christmas
tree, from the thousand tongues that
hung from its branches or that clustered
around its trunk, speaking like the clov
en tongues on the Pentecostal day,plain
ly understood by all, whether Jews,
Greeks, r Elamites, dwellers in Mesa
potamia, or elsewhere, telling of a free,
enlightened and Christian people, bles
sed with peace, prosperity and plenty.
Of fond parents, generous friends, faith
ful teachers, and happy youths, bounte
ously provided for by the liberal officers
and friends of the school.
The Christmas tree, was the vory fin
est we have seen in many years, and was,
as we are informed, a present to the
school, by Capt. Gus. Lemcke, the gen
tlemanly Superintendent of the Evans
yille and Cairo Packet Line, whose pop
ularity is only equalled by his princely
liberality.
Tt towered from the floor to the ceil
ing, rising out of a moss-covered knoT
numerous artificial white rabbits clus
tering around itsjbase. On the highest
peak, stood a beautiful minatnre of the
(ioddess of Liberty, bearing the proud
emblem of our liberty, the Star Spangled
Banner, with two other like emblems of
our nation on either hand.
The wide-spreading branches of the
tree bowed beneath the weight of elegant
cornucopias, filled with choice delicacies,
while handsome toys were interspersed,
and attractive books clustered around
the towering trunk.
Wreaths of evergreea, hung with gar
lao.ls, joined the tree to either wall,
which were also decorated with the flag
of beauty and of glory.
The whole affair was creditable, in the
highest degree, to the ladies of the school
who got it up, and we never witnessed a
happier throng of Sunday School schol- !
ars, as they sat beneath the rich folds of
the stars and stripes, which gives them
protection and hope, mingling their sweet
voices in songs of joy and praise, and
receiving the bountiful presents furnish
ed them by their kind teachers.
Two tables flanked the pulpit, groan
ing beneath pyramids of cakes, nuts,
and fruits,fwhich were distributed among
the happy scholars, who will long remem
ber the Christmas of 1863, as one of
great happiness and delight. Mr. Ma
ghee, the Superintendant of the School,
conducted the exercises with great abil
ity. Pike Coukty Hogs. James Evans,
at Petersburg :
1 Hog 801 lbs nett.
10 Hogs, 10 mouths old, averaging
SSB lbs nett,
James Barker, I Hog, 735 lbs nett.
The hogs are what is called the Ches
ter Whctes, and were introduced into
Evansville, by Mr. Zeba H. Cook, and
into Pike county by Goodlet, Morgan.
The above were packed by Goodlet
Morgan, for Foster, Gwyn & Co., of this
city.
They are we think, exceedingly hard
to beat.
A Shperi! Dinner. The proprietors of
the American House gave a Christmas
dinner to the business men of the city,
to which of course the press was invited.
Though we were not present ourself, we
have reason to believe it was a grand af
fair, being, as we are assured, one of the
most sumptuous feasts ever set in th'13
city. The air, the earth and the water
gave each liberal contributions, and every
guest felt it wag good to be there.
