Although somewhat previous, this will be the last opportunity the CiutoN iui.r will have of wishing Its readers a Merry Christmas. May Christmas cheer in abundance come to every home where the Ciiiio.nici.e is wont to make its daily visits. This has been a very busy day in The Dalles. In spite of the terrible condi tion of the roads, the streets have been filled with Deonle from the country. Our own people also left their shopping till lliulast moment, and in cousequence things have been rushing. The Ohnstmas exercises at the various churches will be as follows: Christian, tree, tonight at 7 :30 ; Baptist, exerclsoB and tree, Monday evening at 7:30; Lutheran, tree, Monday at 7; Epieco pal, Monday at 0; Congregational, Mou day at 7 ; Methodist, Monday at 7 :30. , Services tomorrow at Methodist church will be of espeoial interest.

Pease & Mays. during a'play in Chicago Monday night, hue boon compelled to retire from the stage for a year on account of nervous prostration. This famous actor is known throughout the entire union, having been on the etnge for many years. About sixteen years ago he appeared in The Dalles at tho Snipes-Kinersly opera Iioubo in "Edgewood Folks." In our weekly today will be found the delinquent tnz list for 1808, with a notice of sheriff sale of eueh property on Mon day, the 22d day of January. Many who have simply neglected to attend to the matter have come forward today and prevented their names appearing. OtherB will be reminded by the publication and liquidate before the date of sale. Today has been one of the most beau tiful imaginable, and seemB more like a time for May festivals than Christmas joys. True, it would be more acceptable were some of tho ever-present mud re moved from the streetB, but the motto "look up" will havo to bo adopted by nedestriaus it they would forget th which lies beneath them. We regret to Bay that A. B. DuBois, who for the past two years has been one of our substantial business men, is pack ing his stock of furniture and second hand goods preparatory to leaving for Seattle about Tuesday of next week. This move is made on account of Mrs. Du Hois' health, which has been very poor for some months past. Prof. Glen, the baritone of the Glee Club which visits our city Thursday, is said to have a most remarkable voice, with a range which is wonderful. He will ronder two solos at tho entertain ment. Another very taking feature of the program ia the travesty on Ingomar by Messrs. Eaton and 1 raster. It is saw to be one of the neatest takeoffs imagin able. Seats are beginning to go raniuiy at this early date. Wo have heard about the "biggest dog in the puddle;" the "only peouie . i i. .... I 1 !

It is perhaps the largest hog ever butcliercu in the county, being 2)4 years old und weighing 810 pounds. On record at the clerk's office is found a marriage license granted to D. A. Howell, of Antelope, and Miss Bertha Kolsay, and we understand the wedding will take place at the brldo's home at Buck Hollow Christmas day.

Tho first tree of tho season was that which was given by Miss Taylors Jludergartrn children at ' f '"J room yesterday afternoon. Tie little .ones bad all agisted In decor i6 the tree, which was beautiful. Each chi d entertained their parents and friend, who had been invited, with recitations and souks, and had placed on the tree some small gifts for them. The teacher had provided candy.riute, etc., and 'the afternoon was one qf great pleasure. D. Xoltzman, who was arrested and taken to The Dalles from Pleasant Home, on a charge of forgery, hns returned to his home, having been released on bail. To his friends he denies being the guilty party, and says that his arrest was a case of mistaken identity. He was with another young man, who, he eaye, is the guilty man, but he (Koltzman) Iibb been taken for him. He seems to think that he will hove no difficulty in estab lishing hie complete innocence of tne serious charge against him. The young man has always borne a good reputation in the community at Pleasant Hptne, where he is well known. Ho was born near Sandy, but recently has been work ing in the sawmills in the neighborhood. His friendfpHtfconfident he will be vin- dicatetkOregonian. Tany have heard of the strange re quest which was made by Elem Snipes many years ago that he be buried on tlm top of a large mountain, facing his home near Goldendale, and upon which he had gazed for so many years. Upon his death in 1892 this request was granted. On the mountain was a stone in the shape of a bottle, weighing 1G00 pounds, a natural headstone, and many times since his burial there have his sons en deavored to have the ptone cut and en graved, but each time the stone cutters would refuse saying the substance was like flint, and could not be cut. At length Louie Commi decided ho would see that an iiiEcription was placed there on, bo he undertook the work, which took ten days. So successful was he that at tho head of Mr. Snipes' grave now is found the stone bearing the in scription: "Here lies Elem Snipes. Born 1810; died 1892.
