The Temperance people of this place have decided to give a dramatic entertainment in Pickwick 11 aN in a short time. They are hard at work studying their parts, and the da'e of fie performance will soon be atflounced.—The skating rink still has a great ottrsctiou for our people. Frank deserves the thanki of our young people, (and old ones too,) for providing a place of pleasant aiauseiaeot and recreation, where the long winter evenings may be spent. —All of this week our citizens have been cheered by the radiaut beams of the full moon, casting her silvery rays over the ■now-clad earth. All that his been lacking to complete the picture, is n slight fall of snow, so as to make good sleighing. —Owiug to the slippery condition of the sidewalks at present, pedestrians, and others whoso business call* thein forth early in the morning, prefer taking the middle of the road, to risking the breakage of limbs by remaining on the ice-coveroil sidewalks. —Two members of the Lewiston Lodge, of (lood Templars, were present at the session of l'orter Lodge, No. 844, held iu this village last Tuesday night, and were well pleas ed with the reception they met with, and tho general working of the lAidge in this place. — Christmas rext, a new relay of turkeys, a season of gift-giviug and general jollity. The yeir has done its work well, and it deserves a merry Christmas and n good sen 1- off ou its journey to immortality. Now let everybody save up for Old Santa Clous and the babies. _ The Independent Order of Good Templars in this village are having the list on their roll of names considerably swelled these last few weeks, and are now on a solid footing. Debate#, recitations, readings, mulie, Ac., are participated in from time to time, and taken altogether, it is übout as profitable a way to spend the winter evenings as we know of. Their quarters are already becoming too cramped for their accommodation, and eventually they will be obliged to remove from their present location.Youngetown has a roller rink, and the callow youth of that usually quiet burg are • threshing around as rouardloss as a ballettroupe—Tonuwumiu AVuis. Yo« bet they are, Hobbie, aud if the fullfledged youth of your lumber tow n will come down here and enter the skating rink, they will see something they are not used to good company. Now palpitating nature teems to hush In awed expectancy of blm Who annually enters, slick and slim, The editorial presence grim, 4nd lays upon the desk a roll of gush. Tbe godless editor of speech is slow, But lightning like in deed is he; A club he seises, and with tleudish glee Pells, as sturdy woodman fells a tree, That blooming writer of " Beautiful Snow." —One evening last week, the dude paid a visit to the barber shop, and after being fixed op In the artistic style for which our barbar has become famous, he arose from the ehair and gaaed with horror at the glass oppolie,1 Look here, now, 'he exclaimed, "you've gone ancj sbaYwJ off my moustache! Wouldn't haee had it done for *50 00." " 1 beg your pardon," said the trembling baiber, •'but, really, I didn't notice that you wore one." Then the dude looked a great awful look at the crestfallen barber, and started for Perry's skating rink, with the longing is his heart to become a red handed murder - er. —Union services were held In the Presbyterian Church last Sunday, both morning and evening, Iter. James A. Skinner offlci- I atlng. Excellent sermons were preached, : both morning and evening sessions, which were well appreciated by the large congre : gations present. No services were held in the M. E. Cburcb, owing to the absence of their pastor from his charge. A man isn't necessarily a ben, because he lays bricks.— Youngsti>u;n Newt. Yet if he lays them in hl» hat it proves his fowl nature. — Tonawanda ATcios. • You seem to know how it is yourself, Hobbie. Your campaign experience wasn't a/1 in vain, it seems. How did your croui taste Thanksgiving, eh! Is that " rooster'i sick yet! —About eleven o'clock Tuesday night, the good people of Youngstown were startled by tbe shrill whistle of a locomotive tearing down Lockport street, evidently making its way to the village. Upon closer investigation, it proved to be a traction engine, with all of the appurtenances belonging to a first class threshing outfit in tow. It created quite a sensation as it came down the  belching forth fire and smoke from its iron throat, and Its shrill whistle from time to time reminded us of the time when the incoming whistle of tho Attica, Lockport, & Youngstown Railroad may be heard resounding through the village. —It was iu the skating rink. A young gentleman rose and gave up his seat to a lady, and his chum, who occupied the next seat, tendered him a position on his knee, which w»s accepted. They chatted pleasantly and were drolling back and forth about a kneesy seat, and so on, when a young lady entered. The force of habit wos too strong for the youug man. Ho forgot that he wo* uncomfortably perched on his friend's kuoe, and jumping up gallantly, said in his most persuasive tone: "Take my seat, Miss." Lightning shot from the fair one's eyes, ant' the rest of the people buried their faces In their handkerchiefs or stared hard at the floor. The friend, how ever, settled the matter by vacating his  and peace was restored. Wednesday evening, when o farmer living about two miles from Youngstown drove into the villago, it was discovered that a venerable hen bad roosted on the reach of tho buggy, underneath the box, und hud been treated to a frte ride. Tbe " boys" at once seized upon her henship and carried her off to a convenient rendezvous, where the dice-box was brought forth and she wus put up at rutlle, and after be ing won six separate times by different parties, the final winner, on coming to look for his prize, found that it bad mysteriously vanished, like Paddy's flen, and Fred swears he will yet heve revenge. No doubt revenge is sweet; but Sam will have roast hen, which probably will bo sweeter thun Frod's revenge. -Seven first-class dudes from Suspension Bridge paid this placo u visit Tuesday night last, for the purpose of disporting their quaint llgures on our roller skating link They were dudes of the first water, with eye glass ond all complete. They stopped at Lewiston on their way down, but were not satisfied with the skating rink at that | place and at once came on here, it would have been all right hod they let Lewiston " tangle-leg" alone, but unfortunately for them they partook too freely of that deceitful stuff, and when they attempted to skate they found that their heads were too heavy for their lean legs to support, and the floor received them in its cold and hard embrace many times and oft. Wo would like to seo the boys come again, as we are told tbey are remarkably good skaters at home, but wo would advise tbem to steer clear of that Lewiston fire-water next time, as it is capable of knocking out dudei of even more robust constitutions than Is possessed by tho "seven dudes from the Bridge." Card of Thanks. Mr. L. Jlllson wishes to return thanks to his friends and neighbors for the kindness anil sympathy shown him throughout the illness and death of his mother, Mrs. Jiiisou. BLAIRVILLE. Some of the young Democrats of the North End are lo cking for the position of Custom House officer for this place. If that youug man of East Blnirville don't take two reefs from his collar, his father will soon help him to get a new pnir of ears. Mr. Walter Trumble and Miss Hattie Perry were taking iu tbe sights at Lewiston, last Frldoy.

Tbey were accompanied by their friend and schoolmate, Miss Belle Weir, also of Rochester.OBITUARY. The death of Mrs. Rebecca Jillson, which occurred on Wednesday of last week, has removed another of tbe early settlers of this village. She came hero about thirty-five years ago, and has resided here nearly all these years, in the house in which she died. She was unassuming and retiring in man. ners, and was best known in the home which she loved to make cheerful and pleasant for her children, four of whom survive her. Her sickness was long and painful, but at last tbe dread disease, consumption, terminated in the quiet and peaceful passing away, which was scarcely known by those who watched her dying bed. She has gone from the cares, trials and sorrows, which were no small part of bor eaitbly life, to the rest and peace which await all those who follow tbe Master. Hoddick's Art Gallery.

To Mr. and Mrs. Jamks Kknnkdy: Dear Frionds,—The officers and members of tho Niagara Division of the Sous of Temperonce have learned with sorrow of the loss of one of our members, in the sad death of your daughter Martha, and wish hereby to express our heartfelt sympathy with you in your deep atlliction, and unite in tho earnest prayer that tho God of all Consols, tion may giant you nud your fumlly all needed comfort and support In this your | time of grief. Signed, on behalf of the Division, Ed. Wooton, W.P. Solomon Clkavkr, Chap. Jas. Dorittv, R.S. Wo have received a long letter from Mr. Frederick Lewis, of the St. Catharines Football Club, the young man whom our Virgil correspondent accused tho Niugora Club of importing to boat them in tho game played at Virgil, a short time since. Wo have not space for tho letter, but Mr. Lewis says bo was not " imported," but was on tbe ground by chance, aud the Niagara's being short one player, bo wos asked to play, which he did, with the full consent of the Virgil's; but the Virgil's being beaWn, required something other than the bull to " kick " at, and Mr. Lewis, being the only stranger, just suited their purpose. Tbe Niogara Club say they will play the Virgil's for an oyster supper, or $51 a side. Come, now, " Deacon," put up or —shut up.

Chairman, We unintentiooslly omitted to notice that at the November meeting of tbe Town ' Council, after tbe regular business had been t gone through with. Mayor Garrett presented ; to tbe Corporation a policeman's bat, wltt I C.P. in German silver letters on it, also ac i enameled leather belt, at the satne time re marking that bs hoped tbat Robt Raid, Jr. ' the present Chief of Police, who bad dls charged the duties of bU office faithfully efficiently and to the public »atisfaction would long wear the emblems of office thai he (the Mayor) had the pleasure of ({Wing tc his native town The affair wa» a surprise for Mr. Garrett had kept the matter »t himself until the time of making the pl» sentatiou. Councillor Follett made a few suitable and complimentary remark#, sayin| that he wan glad the/ had a Mayor wbo took so much inrerest in the town, Ac., as to givi the corporation so suitable and creditable I present. Three candidates for Mayor! Heavsi help the fond mothers and slobberlnj babies! W. O. Donnally (if elected) wll advocate the opening of the Town Park an<! erecting buildings thereou. F. A. B C leach (If elected) will do likewise. Th« present incumbent, H. A. Garrett, has beet an exceilent Mayor during the past year but what h# will do in the matter of thi park (If re-elected) we are not now prepared to say. We would, however, say to thi electors. Supt>ortthe man you think will do most for the interests of the old town But that park should—and must—be opened to the pnbllc, with suitable bulldlugs erect ed thereon, and every voter should ascer tain the views of tke different candidate! on the subject before casting bis vote " Pro Bono Publico " should be the motto, as undoubtedly " Build on the Park " will be the battle cry in the coming municipal contest. Candidates for Councillors Lave not announced themselves as yet, but w« hnve uo doubt there will be enough of thew to carry the popular banner safely through. Now, gentlemen, candidates, show your hands and let us know what to expect from you. Our attention has been drawn to the fact that for some time past a (lock of sheep has been pastured in St. Mark's church buryingfV'ound, and many loud and bitter complaints have been made by people who have relatives burled there. The question Is asked, by whose authority are those sheep allowed the use of the bnrylng-ground as a pasture field I If the chnrchwardens bare given their consent to this desecration of the graves of the departed members of the congregation, we think they have acted in, to say the least, a very high banded man: uer, and they certainly deserve the censure of everybody who has a relative or friend I burled there. Of course the sheep do not : hurt the dead, but they hurt the feelings of 1 the living, wbo see the last resting places of ! those who, In life, were dearer to them than | life itself, over-run, desecrated, aud, in fact, made a common pasture-field of. Flower* ' and wreaths which have boon placed on the 1 grassy mounds by loving hands, are de-1 stroyed, head-boards knocked down, and new-made graves trampled under the fest of the sheep, until they look more like bugs mortar-beds than the graves of the dead. No doubt the sheep were not put there by the owners without the consent of | some persons having authority, aud whoever those porsons are their liner feelings of revorence must indeed be exceedingly fin*— | ! so fine that the strongest microscope would fall to disoover their whereabouts. Mem- , bers of Ht. Mark's churoh should demand • | vestry meeting aud have this matter fully investigated. VIRGIL. Ont. The poodle of this place, and Niagara Township in general, are very patriotic, as the larger proportion of them subscribed for i " Picturesque Canada," a* they thought, at the price of 00 ceuta; but when the book ! came to bo delivered, tbey were surprised to find they had signed an order for $141.60. Mr. Daily is r very smooth-tongued agent, I and has taken over $54,000.00 out of this | township; but if the same people bad been asked to form a company, and give Ave dollars apiece to build a storehouse to store their grain for better prices, they would have considered it so much money thrown away. One of our young men who was, made a member of the Masonic Lodge on Wednesday night last, was so white when be came hoti e from Lodge, that be has scarcely recovered his proper color yet, and bis hat seems mashod in.
