Christmas, the day of all the year. that gladdens the heart of the juveniles is near at hand, and by reference to advertisement of Mrs. Banks, in an other column, it will be sen that she . has not forgotten to provide for the little fellows, and to : prepare for the comincr of "Old Santa Claus." The name of Mrs. Banks is a household "word throughout this whole country, and everybody in quest of good things seeks her well-filled store. Look Oct ron Thieves and Burglars! The burglars have begun their us ual (Winter outrages. On Monday iBajrcfinp, . i. ..... morning, about 3 o'clock, some doIcT J - burglar entered the residence of CoL J. A. Pemberton and perambulated the house from basement to attic and then retired without taking uny article; save some biscuit and venison. He was heard by some of the children up stairs, who were too badly frightened to make any alarm. What the intru der was in search of we cannot con jecture, unless it was what he obtain ed. But he evidently had no regard for life, else'he would'not have so bold ly jeopardized it. I Ho Could Not Escape ' i - .

On Sunday morning last Andrew Hall, a colored individu al and an old oft'ender, was discovered by a person to have in his poKsesMon a pair of police nippers, and' when in terrogated as to where he got them replied, "1 picked them up at the Mar ,ket House." Nothing further was said to him; but information was com municated Jo the Sheriff that in all probability the nippers in Hall's pos session were those stolen from the Sheriffs office. Officers Clark, Town Marshal, and Jas. Brown, Depnty Sher iff, then repaired to the home of Alex. Murphy, the' re.-idence of Hall; and on meeting the latter inquired if he found a pair of nippers? Hall acknowledged that he had, but stated that lie did not then have them. 'During this conver sation with one of the officers, the oth er entere'd the house, and therein found the two, stolen overcoats; whereupon Hall was arrested, brought to town and lodged in jail. The accused, in some! Methopist S. S. Christmas Tree and Entertainment.
