leura.
The subject announced for a text at

insr next, is '? Baptism."
Mr. C. W. Metier and family leave

?of friends go with them.
We again acknowledge ourselves in
?debted to J. W". Horner, Serjeant-at
Arms of the House of Delegates, for
favors in the shape of valuable Pub.
Doc.
The Baptist Sunday School \\ ill I
eelebrate Christmas bv erecting tree J
in their church, tilled with presents
tor their children. The celebration i
will take placc on the evening before
?Christmas, at 6 o'clock.
|
On Wednesday next, the parents i
and friends of the free schools are re- 1
?quested tomeet in room No. t, prompt- ;
Ijr at 2 o'clock. Interesting exercises ,
will take place, and the schools then ,
}je closed for holidays.
The Sunday School connected with i
the M. E. CI t'.rch propose to cele- 1
hrr.tc Christmas by a supper in the j
4ecture room, at 5:30 p. m., for the j
children, and a grand sociable for the
older persons. All friends of the
church are invited to be present.
We understand our friend Mr. j
Fletcher, the tailor, is about to build a (
shop on Raymond street, below Sam'! ;
Thompson &Ja:kson, where he can,
carry on his business. Meantime, if)
you want anything done in his line, '
call on him at the office of J. S. Mc
(Juire. j
The editors and proprietors of the I
Parke-sburg Examiner seem deter- |
mined to provoke a quarrel with us; i
for what reason we do not know, neith- j
er do we care. Kor the past three j
weeks that paper has been full of low |
Rings and scurilous inuendoes in re- J
yard to lis, prompted by a different !
spirit from what we had good reason j
to expect from that quarter. All of
these locals (?) must be interesting
reading matter for their ico.ooo sub
scribers, and if we can be the means j
of furnishing them copy we have no !
objection. The last number of the |
Examiner had no less than three a!- J
lusions to us in no very complimentary ?
manner, and we only hope it pleased j
them, for we know ft did not hurt us. j
We do iict propose to reply to their j
articles in the same spirit in which
they indited them; we write this arti- 1
.cle only to say that of our past life we |
liave no Tears in comparing it to theirs,
but whatever we mav have done, we j
.are satisfied that it was only following
an old example sctbv them. We con
fess we were not apt scholars. We J
never did get down qui'e as low; we j
.never did break any of the laws of the
land. No! j:o! Messrs. Hv!itor?. we
never claimed to set you anv example,
or to lead you. We were content to !
follow you at a disi/ince, and trv in
some manner to imita'e you, to our
shame be it said.
RELIGIOUS ITJ3M3.
The Emmanuel Church of this place
A'tU hold religious services on Christ
mas morning, commencing at eleven
o'clock. And on the evening of that
day, at 6 o'clock, a Christmas tree wilt
L?c e reeled in the chinch, containing
the presents for the Sunday School
children and others. Ail arc invited
to attend.
The Baptists of this place arc steadi
ly increasing in numbers. On Sunday
last, we were present and witnessed the
immersion of sixteen new converts. ?
This solemn sacrament was conducted
by the Rev. T. J. Knapp, in the pres
ence of about 300 persons. The best !
ot order prevailed, and nothing occur
red to mar the harmony and solemnity
of the occasion.
The M. E. Church of this place are
still continuing their revival. On Sat
urday night, ami Sunday morning and
night, the Presiding Elder of this Dis
trict held Quarterly Meeting, and the
services were well attented. On Sun
day morning tbe Sacrament of the
Lord's Supper was administered to one
hundred and nine communicants. Let
the good work go cn.
The United Brethren are holding j
meetings at the school house on Oil
Spring run.
Services next Sunday at all the
churches. Don't fail to attend.
The Mite Society connected with the
Emmanuel Church will meet at the res- ,
idenceof Mrs. D. Mudge, on Wednes
day evening next.

V.'e promised some time ago, to tell I
'von who was the best in deportment,
hut as yet we have not iound out. To
he sure there arc some that are a little
better than others, but the worst ones
have come to the conclusion that they
would do better, so ve will not dis
tinguish them at present; but if they
do not reform, we will he compelled
to do so. We will say that we have!
no reason to complain of the respect
shown us by the pupils or parents of J
Volcano. And we are glad to see
that there is so much interest shown;
but we think there i> room for im
provement on the part of all of us. ?
Our daily inth'^nce affords many ex
amples of the importance of little |
things. A sunny smile uro^.s balm
on all upon whom it shines. It re
vives the drooping and brings jov to
sorrowful. A kind word has nieltcJ !
hearts when all else ha* failed.
Little thini; :. :!>'? iittlvr things

Th.cn let t;s all with one accord say.
we will labor for the advancement of
the cause in which we are engaged.

j Wc clip tiic following from tiie Ti
tusvillc Herald , from a dispatch dated
Modoc Citv :
I "The old wells are falling ofi" rapid
ly, but the new ones coining in appear
to keep up the production. The mar
ket here is very weak this afternoon
and producers are becoming poorer
every day. No new wells arc being
started from the top of the ground,
but nobody can see the end of the
fourth, sand devclopement. Sheriff's
sales arc constantly going on all over
this section, and there are very few
houses in Modoc City without one of
their notices. Two of our best hotels I
were sold under the hammer to-day,
and tin? proprietors, who consider j
themselves the victims of misplaced j
confidence, are about to try their luck :
in some place where the population is
more stable, and money is more plen- '
lv . The whole business of the lower
country looks darker, financially, and j
more hopeless to-day than it has ever i
done before. J.''
During the Tichborne trial, Dr.
Kcnealy told the following story to il
lustrate the dangerous ingenuity of
Mr. Hawkins, the leading counsel for
the Crown, in the art of cross-exam
ination. He said: "Indeed, my learn
ed friend can sometimes make witness
es say what he pleases. You perhaps
may remember the great but; case, in
which my friend shone with such lus
tre. It was an action brought by a
London householder to recover rent,
which the defendant refused to pay
because the house was so overrun
with bugs that lie could not live in it.
My learned friend examined and cross
examined and re-examined the wit
nesses till the whole court seemed
filled with an atmosphere of bugs. ?
My friend at last asked a witness,
'Were not the bugs in such strong num
bers and so well organized that when
you we to catch them they turned
around a.ul barked at you?' The poor
witness was so overcome by my friend's
skill and audacity that he answered,
'I bc!ic\e they did.'"
