"V. - ' J a Minrmin ran tfTjrnsiliii "it. LOCAL MATTEItS. Cmkistmas. Xext Monday is the day vhieh is celebrated by all Chris tian nations and jwoplea in honor and i;i grateful rcmemberanoe of the incar nation of the Lord of life and glory. Nearly eighteen hundred and seventy Iwo years ago, as the shepherds on the p!aius of Judea were watching their !lK-ks by night, suddenly an angel from Heaven appeared, and the glory of God shone about them, and they wore sore afraid. But the angelic visitant calmed their fears, and filled them with joy by saying: . "Fear not, for liehold I bring yon good tidings of rcat joy, which shall be to all people; for unto j-ou U born this day in the iity ot David a Savior, which is Christ the .Lord.".. They were then surround ed by a quoir of angel choristers from the eternal world, who chanted in heavenly strains the mission of "peace on earth and good will to men,"vhieh wa thus inaugurated, or fulfilled by the birth of the Savior, They went down into Bethlehem and saw the -hi!d Jesus lying. in tlie manger. The wise men of the Kast, too, followed his t-tar until it rested over where the young child .lay, ami then tlic .wont in and made, their offerings "of "gold, frank i:;cense and myrrh," The ineamatiou i'the Savior wa the life of. the peni t -.'t believer ; His death the salvation of the faithful followers; lib resurrec tion the final glorification of His re generated people. Though "low laid His head with the beasts of the stall," though He was a "man of sorrow and acquainted with grief," was without "form and comeliness," was despised ar.d rejected of men," was poor, and died the death of a malefactor, lie has yet been more highly honored, and His name has been more .highly rever A and loved than that of any earth!' potentate or power that has ever ex isted. Three hundred and sixty mil; lions of human beings annually com memorate His natal day. Churches are thrown open for worship ; Sabbath schools erect their Christmas trees, sing their beautiful songs and distrib iHe their appropriate presents the night previous. At the home circle on Christmas eve, tin? little ones hang up their stockings - for the gifts which Old Santa Clam" never fails to give, or the tree is erected and loaded. - with beautiful presents, (wliatparent would be. so unloving as to deny the little ones this token of ; aSection 2 The day is devoted to. mirth and pleasure, good dinners' and enjoyment. We hope that our patroi with their families may enjoy a happy Christmas next week.- Grand Fesiival. -At a meet ing of citizens at Odd Follow r - Hall on Friday evening of last week, to take into oojisiderution the. "best man ner of securing funds for the. destitute and suffering in our city, Mr. D. M. Thompson wa3 elected Chairman, and llev. Mr.But.cher Secretary. After a thorough canvass of the matter it was determined to hold a grand Soiree and Festival at the Court House, on the evening, of " January 1st, 1871. The names of a portion of those appointed on the different committees, on whom will devolve the successful carrying out of the design of the meeting, ap pear elsewhere in ur columns, and embrace a large- number of rise' very beat portion of this community a sTsni guarantee that the "undertaking will prove a gratifying suceesy; It mises to be the largest attended and most entertaininjr affair ever wit nessed in this city.' All persons who caii, are requested: to make donation. of articles suitable 'for the occasion, giving the necessary" information to the Chairman of one of the Commit tees. The proceeds of the entertain ment are to be devoted to a charitable object.. Knowing this, and. knowing, al so, that the admision will i be but fifty cents, it- is believed that every man and woniau in the city and sur rounding country will be in attendance and enjoy the occasion. During the evening there will be vocal and iustrn- mental musScv by.sonie of otu-. best musicians ; first-eteas actors . will , fur nish tableaux r the:lbur lower roonta will be ' devoted, to . sideshows ; the hall to ice cream and other refresh ?WOnt. all taken together furnishing a season of enjoyment seldom yit . uessed by thts people.
