Local Miscellany.—The Mutual Building Association will meet to night. It blew np cold again on Wednesday, after several days of mild weather. Christmas was duly observed by the churches in Elkton. The public schools will ro-opsn on Tues day next. The regular Watch Night Meeting will be held in the Elkton M. E. Church to morrow (Sabbath) night, at 9 o'clock. Levis has a see of glass. Court will again meet on Wed lies.lay next, January 3d. The chronic dullness of Elkton was slightly disturbed by a hop at the Hall, on Wednesday night last. The ladies of the Presbyterian church and congregation, have very tastefully trimmed the “auditorium of the Hall with evergieens,and a handsome Christmas tree, perched on the stage, lends itsattrac- tions to the decoiations of the room. On Thursday and Friday evenings, supper was served in the Hall for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church. The tables were loaded with a tempting variety of edibles, pleasing to the eye and inviting to the palate. Doubtless the proceeds from this gastronome entertainment will be hand some. Nothing draws like a table well filled with toothsome viaus. Outdone —The gossips, by Mr. Vinsinger’s marriage. Not a word did they bear of it till the ceremony was performed: for which ill treatment they will doubtless pray that all the ills, and none of the joys, of matri monial life, may he his portion. Mr. John Lee, residing near Elkton, lost a good horse, recently'. Disease unknown. The store-house recently vacated by Mr. Levis will he occupied by E. Drown Bro. Extra Services.—The extra meeting ser vices, at Wesley Chapel, Elk Neck charge, will commence next Sabbath evening, the 30th inst., at 7 o’clock and continue dur ing the week. The public arc cordially invited to attend. Accident.—On Friday afternoon last, Mr. Frank Denny, a young man employed in The Democrat office, bad his foot caught by the press and two toes on his right foot crushed. The accident completely spoiled Frank's Christmas holidays on which he counted largely, lie is doing as well as could be expected. The Commune in Elkton.—A number of j our Elkton young men sport a red feather in their caps. Whether they know it or not, they are wearing the body of the infa mous Paris Commune. French corsets, Paris fashions, and French brandy are enough from one city. Let us not import their diabolism. Election of Officers. —Washington Lodge No. 51, K. P., of Elkton, elected the fol lowing officers, on Thursday night last, to serve for the ensuing term; V. P., Perry Litzcnberg; W. C., IL McFarland; V. C., I Clinton McCullough; Guide, George W. j Maxwell; I. S., Henry Spittle; 0. S., Wm. H. Hughes; I?. S., W. O. Gilmour; Banker, E. W. Jauney. Railroad Post Office Changes.—W. P. i Miller lias been promoted to Chief Clerk on Washington and New York Railroad Post Office; John T. Bennett has been pro moted to Chief Clerk on same line; Wm. B. Smith has been promoted from Assistant Clerk to Clerk on same line, vice T. J. i Shea, removed; W. H. North has been appointed Clerk on same line, vice, Smith promoted. Christmas.—Christmas passed off in Elk ton in rather an idle, sleepy way. Eating turkey was a prominent feature of the occasion. We had no remarkable demon strations on the part of King Alcohol. His majesty soaked his votaries in a quiet way, and did not turn many of them into the streets, as howling maniacs; for which S consideration, on the part of the despot, he is devoutly to be thanked. Fire.—Joseph A. Towson's boot and shoe shop, near Pleasant Grove, Lancaster county, was destroyed by fire on the night' of Wednesday, 20th inst. The building, it is supposed, caught fire from the stove, and occuring late at night was not observed by any of the neighbors in time to save any of the contents—tools, leather, Mr. T’s clothing, Ac., all of which were consumed. We learn there was an insurance on the building of $l5O. —Oxford Press. Personal.—Mr. J. W. Baker, builder of j the Elkton gas works, and for several years j a resident of onr town, returned from St. Paul, Minnesota, on Thursday evening last where he and Mr. T. B. Marrett, also of this town, emigrated to last summer. He is looking very well and reports our Win- ter weather as feeling very summer-like j in comparison with the St. Paul climate, where the themonetcr makes a practice of 1 going down to 30° below zero. Mr. B. intends returning West, we understand, in 1 a few days, accompanied by his better half, i who has been residing in Elkton. Death from Small Pox.—The case of small pox which occurred in Elkton—that of W. T. Brown—and reported in our last issue as being a very mild type, proved fatal on Tuesday night last. The fact is not concealed now by the physicians that it was considered at the time of the announce ment, a very virulent case. No other case h.vs occurred in town, and will not likely occur, unless imported from the city. There is a case of the loathsome disease in Chesapeake City, which is reported to be of a very violent type; but the patient j is reported convalescent. CHESAPEAKE CITY ITEMS. Christmas. —The day was observed here as usual, by a general suspension of busi- I ness, and an unnsnal turn out of children, 1 who crowded the confectionery shops to spend the pennies they had been saving for the occasion. Nothing of much interest transpired during the day. There was no service at either of the churches, except ing the protracted service at the M. E. Church at night. Dibit Presented. —On Sabbath morning last, a very handsome Bible and Hymn- Book were presented to the M. E. Church, by three little girls, and received in behalf of the church by the Pastor, with very appropriate remarks. Cold Weather. —The weather for the last week has been cold enough to close navi gation through the canal. The steamer WhUilen, from Philadelphia, managed to get down as far as Delaware City, on Fri day, 32d inst., and there had to atop. Some of our merchants who had Christmas goods on board, i.ad to have them hauled from there in wagoos.

C. Levis opened bis new store on Main street, Elkton, with a display of goods, for extent and variety, as well as y nality, seldom equaled by a retail establish man t o Aside of the cities. A most substantial and handsome crossing of Port Deposit granite, in broad blocks six feet square, has been put down in front of the store, insuring a dry, clean crossing in the muddiest weath er. The store house, as has been hereto fore noticed in these columns, was built by Mr. Button, and when that gentleman failed i in business, was purchased by Mr. Levis, !at Trustees’ Sale. The building is frame, i the only objection we ever urged to it, as j we do to alt other frame buildings in blocks j or thickly built up portions of towns or cities. But the material does not detract j from the imposing appearance, and ar rangement of the building, which is 24 feet front on Main street with a depth of 60 ft., two stories in height, and covered with tin. The first story is 11 feet and the second story 9 feet in the clear. The front of the first story is composed of two bay windows on either side of the entrance, the fronts of which are immense plate glass oxß feet with side lights sxß feet. These two mam moth show cases are closed on the inside j by hung sash, thuS constituting two minia ture crystal palaces, for line and delicate show goods, completely dust-proof. The folding doors which close the entrance between these full grown bay windows, arc two tall plates of glass forming the panels to walnut frames. The internal arrangement is of the most modern style, opening to the top of the second story, to which you asccud by a broad flight of steps in the rear, branching right and left from the first lauding and running to the galleries round which a continuous rail extends. Large windows front and backtof second story light up the j upper story of the building, and throw a i Hood of light down the broad stairway into the main room below. Shelving is fit ted up round the walls in the galley for the reception of the endless variety of wares which are displayed to the view of the cus- I tonier from the lower floor. In addition to wares of various kinds, carpets and other varieties of goods find a place on the sec ond floor, where light and room are had in abundance for examining their quality.— This advantage, which is a favorite one 1 with all purchasers, will prove equally im portant to Mr. Levis, for the closer his goods are inspected the more they com mend themselves to favor. The first floor is fitted up with movable counters, shelving, boxes and glass cases, in the most approved and convenient style, while taste and appearance in the whole i arrangement has been kept constantly in view by the architect. The building is supplied with bronzed gas fittings of very handsome patterns, put in by the Elkton Gas Light Company, and the show win- I dows in front arc furnished with large re- I (lectors which cast the light down on the goods, giving the variegated contents of the cases a brilliant appearance when lighted up at night, and the whole a most pleasing effect. A large airy basement, seven feet in height rims under the whole building, with a sleeping room in the rear, with a view opening out across the reedy banks of the Big Elk. The building having a hill side basement, this room is very light, dry and comfortable. The lifting and forcing pump in the basement, with hose handy to attach, is capable of throwing water into all parts of the building. The wood work i inside is handsomely walnut and maple grained. The top of the building is surmounted I by large signs in front and on the side, i with the name of the present owner, j R, C. Levis, in large black, Gothic letters, on a white ground; while on the front, directly over the entrance, the same name appears in raised gilt letters, on a blue ground; and also on the rolling curtains of I the show windows. Mr. P. C. Strickland, of Elkton, and present County Commissioner, was the architect and builder. Messrs. Alexander Brother did the tin work. The paint ing was done by Mr. Perry Litzenherg, of Elkton, and Mr. George Wright, of Philadelphia, was employed to do the more tasty work of fine graining, pro nounced by connoiseurs to be a perfect work in that line. The store is pronounced one of tlie most stylish and complete struc tures of its kind on the Eastern Shore, and when occupied by the present proprietor and model retail merchant, will stand as the ne plus ultra of fashionable places for j shopping, as well as the place of resort for the more domestic class of dealers in retail goods. Special Sabbath School Services.—ln ac cordance with previous announcement, the anniversary exercises of the Elkton Pres byterian Sabbath School came off on Sab bath evening last, in the M. E. Church. The exercises consisted of reading of the Scripture, prayer, vocal and instrumental i music, addresses, black-board illustrations, j and Superintendents’ report. After singing “Anniversary Carol,” by the school, Rev. James Mclntire read a Scripture lesson from Matt. 3d, and made a few introductory remarks, when Rev. A. I S. Vaughan led in prayer. This was followed ]by singing “Over There.” Then came the j j Superintendent’s report. It stated that the school numbered 106 scholars—sl boys and 48 girls—with an adult Bible class of 7; I average attendance, 00; teachers and offi i cers, 22; contributions during the year, SBO. The report concluded, the Superin tendent, James T. McCullough, Esq., dc livered a short address, referring to the I origin and organization of Sabbath Schools, their power for good on the young, and his own experience as a teacher. The speaker said he had been a teacher for twenty years, and although he did not know' whether his labors had accomplished much or not, yet it was pleasant to remember that the dis tinguished divines, Kev. Frank Robins, of Philadelphia, and Rev. W. E. Moore, were once his scholars while teaching in New York. Mr. McCullough was followed by I singing “Work to do for Jesus.” W. J. j Jones, Esq., then addressed the audience at some length on the importance of the 1 Sabbath School as an institution, its influ ence on the murals of the young, the de mands of the school upon parents, and the i duties and responsibilities of teachers. The speaker was well received, anil closed his j remarks by an affecting little incident of a l Sabbath School scholar, which chimed in I well with the song, “Jesus Only.” Rev. A. S. Vaughan then gave a black-board ex orcise of a superior character, and similar I to those recently given at the Institute by Rev. Jas. 8. Ostrander. On the board was 1 drawn a large star, within which was a smaller one. Over this were the words, “We have seen his star underneath, in large capitals, was “God with us”. In the five points of the larger star were the names Saviour, Redeemer, Prophet, Priest 1 and King. The points of the smaller star 1 were filled in with appropriate texts, illus trating the attributes of God. The greater star representing God, and the lesser one man, thus combined, illustrated the won drous union of fljviuity and humanity in the person of Jesus Christ, who was God manifest in the flesh. The various rela tions which these several positions a;;4 texts boro to each other were fully c i plained, and all led to a common centra Jesus. This was one of the must interest ing features of the occasion. “Hark What Mean those Heavenly Voices?” was then sung, and Rev. Henry S. Thompson, i pastel of the Methodist Church, made a short and impressive address, lie said the Sabbath School demanded the best talent, the best energies, the most ardent zeal and the greatest devotion. He spoke of the influence of the Sabbath School teacher; there is no telling where it will end.— His Sabbath School teacher is now, and for years lias been, a minister of the gos pel, and out of his class of seven boys, live are now in the ministry, the sixth is at the head of a Sabbath School, while the seventh departed, and is at lest. Thus, he said, the influence of that teacher is working in all these vaiious avenues, and who can tell the result? He, appropri atoly referred to the mat hie lines laid in the streets of Venice, which, leading to a com mon centre, directed all who had lost their way to this well-known point; Urns illus trating the teacher’s influence and power to direct youthful minds heavenward. He closed with a touching little incident, which left a good impression on the audience. Rev. IL Mathews, pastor of the Presby terian Church, read, and the school sung, “Hast thou gleaned well To-day declined making the remarks he had intended, on account of the lateness of the hour, and returned thanks for the use of the church. Prayer was then offered by Rev. Mr. Cros by, “Home of the Soul” sung, and the audience dismissed with the benediction. And thus closed one of the most, interest ing of the School’s anniversaries. On Christmas morning, at lOj o’clock, the M. E. Sabbath School held a children's meeting in the audience room of their church. There was a very fair representa tion of the school present, and quite a number of visitors, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather and the fact that ’twas Christmas. Several appropriate hymns were sung, a Scriptural lesson read and illustrated on the black-board by the pastor, and then came the most interesting i part of the services. W. J. Jouos, Esq., then took the plat form, and before closing revealed the real i object of the meeting. Ha referred to the time when he was a little Sabbath School 1 scholar at the old church on High street, contrasted the small building and its rude accommodations with the present beautiful edifice, its conveniences and various attrac tions. He spoke of the numerous changes that bad taken place within the time men tinned, remarking that one thing about the school remains unchanged, and that is, the same Superintendent that had charge then presides now. He then paid a high tribute to the faithfulness and devotion of that officer —Mr. Wm. Torbcrt—stating that for the last thirty-five years he had nobly la bored in the interests of the great cause he i had so early espoused, never absenting him self from the school, except when it was absolutely necessary. He said the school appreciated his long and valued services, and as a token of regard they had pro cured fur him an elegantly embossed chart of Palestine, handsomely framed in solid walnut. When we state that the Superintendent knew nothing of the object of the meeting or intention of the school, his agreeable surprise may be easily imagined. Over powered with emotion, the venerable gentleman rose, and in fitting terms ac knowledged the gift so freely bestowed, expressing his surprise and pleasure at re ceiving this evidence of esteem from the school. Nor was the pleasure all on one side, for the givers seemed to realize ’twas “more blessed to give than to receive.” Rev. A. S. Vaughan then addressed the audience in a few impressive, appropriate words, and was followed by ftev. Janies Mclntire, in an address well suited to the time, and full of love and tenderness. As tears of joy bedimmed the eyes of the recipient and speakers, they touched re sponsive chords in other hearts, and love and gladness and good will beamed forth in every countenance. Once more the school joined in song, the choir sang a vol untary, and the audience was dismissed, all who participated feeling that it was indeed a happy Christmas. The Sabbath School entertainment, at Zion, was quite satisfactory and successful. Rev. J. D. Rigg and lady contributed largely to the success of tWe enterprise. A dramatic piece was composed by the rev ernd gentleman, for the occasion, and ren dered by several young ladies, who received much praise for their performance. The receipts amounted to upwards of SSO. Taking Down an Old Church.— The old Union Church, near the residence of W. T. Miller, Esq., is being removed, having been superseded by the erection of a new one. The old log church was erected nearly fifty years ago, the pen of logs having been raised on the 23d day of August, 1822. Rev. John Smith was then on the circuit, and drew up the subscription for building the new church. He was a small and ac tive man and spoke fluently. He after ward joined the Protestant Methodist Church. The log church was quite small, being only about 25 by 30 feet, with a small gal lery. The carpenters were Samuel and James Cummings. It was the first Metho dist Church iu the neighborhood, the meet ings having previously been held in the house* of the members, particularly in the houses of William Tyson and John Wil j liamson. The latter contributed very lib erally to the new church, in furnishing white oak logs for erection, which seem nearly as sound to-day as when they were first put up. Of the men who were then iu the neigh borhood, there arc now but three remain ing there Jesse 11. Simpers, Stephen Ma honey and Samuel Hanna. About four years later a meeting was held in the woods adjoining the church, to celebrate the Jubilee of American Inde- I>cndonce that was the fiftieth anniver sary, being the 4th of July, 1826. There was a sermon in the morning and one in the afternoon, by the ministers then on the circuit —John Goforth and Edward Page. Richard B. Thompson was there and made a prayer in the morning; he was a member of the Maryland Legislature and resided near Back Creek. It was a warm day and the people walked jto Jameson’s spring for water. I recollect seeing a copy of the Elkton Press on the ground, having a copy of the Declaralien of Independence, which was then usual in the issue preceding the 4th of July. That was a great day throughout the length and breadth of the land, and was I rendered memorable by the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, prominent members of the committee who reported the Declaration of Independence, and sub j sequcntly Presidents of the United States. Some years after a frame addition of about eight feet iu length was added to the 1 west end of the Union Church by William McClelland, who afterward removed to the West, and is now Jiving near Fort Des Moines, Iowa; but the congregation in creasing, the old church has been succeed ed by a much larger and finer building. Of the prominent local preachers who officiated in the old church, a class always worthy of honorable remembrance, may be named Thomas Warburton, John E. Sim pers, Reece Mahon, David Jenness, John Ford, Nathaniel Wiley, John Reed, Thos. Miller, Jr., Joseph Miller, and many others. 4.mong the circuit preachers was Wil liam Uydpr, a plajn and earnest old man. who toid qf giving hP I') 8 business, that a batter, and disci,aiging ji,s qppfapji hoys, that ho might obey the pa|l to preach the gospel.

Here Christmas. —Christmas also reached the hill country long before day on Monday morning. We were aroused from our peaceful slumber, not by the song of the angels, but by the agency of gunpowder, as report answered report, we quickly bethought ourselves that the great day had come. Commemorative day! not rightly understood by some, nor appreciated as it should be by many. Smiles. —Our stores were open the entire i day. Our worthy Host was as usual, bland ly smiling, and a number of our young I folks took to smiling also, so they smiled lougly and oftenly, and by the ninth hour of the day the strength of many waxed weak, especially in the knees and the lower extremities; but they deserve some credit, for no angry words were exchanged, but little swearing was heard, and there was not one light. At North East, lam told the same manner of “smiling produced no less than half a dozen quarrels. Now, Mr. Editor, wasn’t I right!’ I always told you this was a very moral place. Poultry. —Last week our neighbor, Har vey Reeder, shipped to Philadelphia about 1,800 pounds of poultry, all raised this year by himself. Right good for Harvey, 1 ain’t it Sale of Real Estate. —William Davidson recently purchased of Messrs. Warburton Janney, about 40 acres of the “Cleadcn” property with improvements. Price $2,250.

Kicked by a Horse. —On last Sabbath, Nicholas Milburij was badly kicked in the side and stomach by a horse. He remain ed senseless and almost breathless for some time, but is recovering, i Eire. —William Johnson came near hav ing a little Chicago experience of his own, ,on Wednesday morning last. The chim ney of his dwelling caught fire. In the second story was a stove-pipe hole, covered with muslin, this was soon consumed, then the licking flame had free entrance, devour i ing, in a few moments, one of Mrs. John son’s dresses, leaving nothing but the iron work, and was rapidly appropriating other material, when Mr. Johnson and some i other men, with much difficulty ended its progress.

The thermometer indicated, at one time, it is said, four degrees below zero; with a series of snow falls and fine sleighing.

Concert and Exhibition. —The Exhibition and Concert of the North East M. E. Sab bath School were held on Christmas night. The attendance was large, and the receipts about forty dollars. Child's Bite. —A few days since, a child of Mr. Louis Hahn became choked with a piece of bone. While endeavoring to re move it, the child bit him on his hand, which, in a few hours, became discolored and very painful, and caused great suffer ing. Religious. —Last Sabbath being Christ mas Eve, Rev. B. F. Price delivered an appropriate sermon, and also at the night service. On Christmas morning, religious services were held at an early hour, as usual. To-morrow Sabbath) night being the last of 1871, appropriate services will be held in the M. E. Church. That occa sion will bo followed by an extra meeting in the same church.

How to Observe the Holidays.— The Holidays should be impressed upon our minds by some pleasant remembrances. 1 I Some good action done, or some act of kind ness received from another. The good I time should bo spent so that we can look back upon it without a reproach. We should have some landmark set down by which we can remember bow the time was passed.
