The Christmas eve exercises nt the M. E. church, by and for the M. E. Sunday school, were attended ' by an audience that crowded the 1 building. There was a vast array of presents, partly displayed upon | a handsome and very ingeniously j constructed chimney, and the rest i on taldfts and wherever room could be found. Besides the ceremony of distributing the presents, a labor of consider nine magnitude, the audience was favored with a literary t entertainment, the chief feature of which, the beautiful cantata, Christmas Bells, wus received with universal pleasure. | ScHdoL Scith roil Boys, liand- ; some, stylish, durable and cheap, i a large and well selected stock, at I Ralph Fen dig’s. 1 Ladies’ factory-made, all wool skirts, durable, comfortable and I cheap.

Richardson, of Barkley tp., was in a state of considerable and very natural mental perturbation last Thursday, over a sum of money, $350 which he had sent to a bank in Nebraska, a few days before, to have applied* on a note he is owing there; and had received intelligence a day or two after sending that the bank had failed. The money was .sent by draft on a Chicago bank, and as soon as the fact of the failure was learned, Mr. Richardson, through A. McCoy <fc Company ordered payment stopped; but if the failed bankers in Nebraska are disposed to play the rascals, it is not at all unlikely that Mr. Richardson will lose the whole sum.

Leopold’s stock is complete in every branch, and will be sold for less Money for cash, than any other house can dream; of disposing of good goods. Our merchants seem to be unanimous in expressing themselves as more than satisfied with their Holiday trade. Themselves and all their clerks were kept constantly busy every day, for many days, before Christmas, with the result of great reductions in all kinds of store stocks and a pretty general cleaning out of Holiday stocks, in particular. The exceptionally fine crops that have been raised in. Jasper county this year, together -with--the fine weather and-good-roads that have prevailed during the past few weeks, and also tlie large aggregate sum of money which has been paid out in Rensselaer and til® surrounding country this year for labor on buildings and other improvements, are causes which have contributed greatly to bring about tlie brisk last few- weeks.

Ellis Walton, His Dog.

Mr/lEllis Walton,,tbG bid standby teamster and hackman, went to Chicago last Friday morning, to visit his relatives, the Jouvenats, and left behind him his long-joint-ed and playfully disposed maltese hound, and a number of Mr. Waltou’s friends took compassion on the dog’s lonesomeness, after his owner had gone away, and in the kindness of their hearts boxed him up and sent him on to Chicago, consigned to Mr. Walton’s ad, dress, on the next train. They ha I.thought to send him C. O. D. (Collect on Dog) but Express Agent Reeve declined to forward him without advance payment, and they accordingly chipped in a dollar and a half and sent him on, prepaid. Mr. Walton received the dog in good shape, and when he eame home, left him in charge of his relatives; and now the old castoff boots and shoes around town, can repose on their native rubbish heaps in peace.

A Merry Christmas for Will Sears.

PARDONED AT LAST. A. few weeks ago Mr, F. J. Sears wrote to the Governor of Colorado requesting him to investigate all the circumstances connected with the sentencing of his son, Will Sears, to the penitentiary in that state, about two years ago, and also of the act which led to his sentence. The governor did as requested end the result is that last Friday the warden of the prison received notice from the governor that he had pardoned the young man. The circumstances of this case have been so fully set forth heretofore in this paper, that we do not deem it necessary fio repeat them now at length. Y~oung Sears, a former resident of this place, and a quiet and deserving man, kept a drug store in Canon City, Col. A notorious ruffian and bully of that vicinity, named Tullock, had forced himself into the store, and after grossly insulting Mr. bears and his wife, Mr. Sears undertook to put lnm out, and in a struggle which followed, a revolver was discharged and Tullock was killed. The kill-, ing would have been justifiable had it been intentional, but Sears always stcutly, and, we doubt not, truly maintained that he had no intention of shooting the man, and that the pistol was discharged accidentally. Sears was tried before a jury, which disagreed, standing 11 for acquittal and one for conviction, and Sears then threw himself upon the mercy of the court and received the lightest sentence the law would allow. Fie ought never to have been punished araTt,~aKd n6Vi3r”WOuld 'have beeir 1 had it not been for the scheming of a lot of conscienceless scoundrels, who bled Mr. Sears out of all that he had, and his father out of $1,200 and boasted that they would have SIO,OOO before they were done with him. During his entire imprisonment Sears has acted as assistant physician for the prison, and has been treated with the greatest leniency.
