TBS HOLIDAYS.
The excessively cold wtither mod-
ified itself to some extent, and the
mad. and slush departed (rom the
streets in time to allow the gay and
the Kiddy of the burgh ample oppor-
tunities to indulge their " Merry
Christmas."
Ño damages have resulted, so far
sb reported, ssvethst Larrison's gate
wat* unhinged aa 1 carried otl during
the fit at evening, and a vain attempt
was made to rear the editor's buggy
upon George bailey's hog pen, and
another effort was made to bar our
fiieiid Patrick from his store-door
with wagoti'wheels—and ifeh'
Almost eaerytwidy bad been kill-

sausages prevailed everywhere in
delightful abundance.
Quite a gay dance, in which all the
aimble-fuded devotees of the Terp-
sichoreaa art in the village were en-
gaged, came off atCapt. Rutherford's
on Titecday night. Also another,

WHl you pertnit toe to say thro'
the columns of Tas EirrssraisK, to
the friends of TempeganSe, that Fri-
day. the 80th December was a high
dsy with the I. O. of Good Templars
in Honey-Grove. Large prepara-
tions having been made in the day,
tbont sixty of the members of Lodge
So. 6 tnet at night in the Hall, and
the Lod e being opened in due form,
two candidates were introduced and
initiated. The Worthy Chief then
gave a recess, which was followed
♦ y such aa exuberance of gay luid
social feeling that it was indeed good
to he there. Bvery f.«se wag bright
vud every tongue went merrily as a
bell. There were old awn and yo«ag
men, old ludiea and young ladies,
and widows too. Just<Dhert the boys
i aa ap some wide plank through the
windows, and soon there was a table
reaching across the bouse. Then
came the white linen—and now, Mr:
Editor, it would have done you g¿od
to Witaesa the ladies arranging on
the table the finely dressed pound-
cakes, jelly-cakes, etc.—and then the
fruits—peaches, pears, pineapples,
plum*, cherries, nuts and Candies—
filling the table unutterably fuH of
that which was taatful, as the writer
can testify from happy experience.
The ladies and old men were invited
first to the table, when, by the strand
f the gavel, all were brought to a
profound silence, and the Blessing oi
Jim who pifesidea in the Grand
Lodge above waa invoked. .How
diff rent this scene from that witness
d in the grogshop. This is a live
L>dge, and it is doing a good work
for the young people of this commu-
nity, It was organized four y* ar*
ago, wince which time there have been
aune two hif.dred initiations. Muci
credit is due the young people foi
¡lie zeal aud faithfulness showu t>\
hem.
