Corn Thiercs.

Valentine Phillips and William Tacket were arraigned before Esquire McCarthy yesterday, on charge of stealing corn from Jesse McComb, who re sides soush-east of town. They visited the corn crib in the night and took therefrom about twenty bushels of corn which they hauled to town and sold to A. Johnson. The wagon was drawn by a pair of mules, one- of which had lost a shoe, and by ita. tracks it was an easy matter to trace the thieves. When they were arrested they denied their guilt, and as there was no strong evidence against thorn, it was though for awhile that the authorities would ba compelled to liberate them. But Ed Yandever bethought him of a plan by which he could arrive at the true inwardness of the case. He secreted himself under the bed in one of the cells of the station house, and the prisoners being placed in that cell, he was enabled to overhear their conver sition.

He soon hoard enough to convict the men, and on the preliminary trial yesterday, his was the principal evidence.

They were^held to bail in the sum of three hundred dollars each.

OLD ENGLISH CHRISTMAS FARE.

Tho "brave days of old" were, if rude and unrefined, at least distinguished by a hearty and profuse hospitality. During the Christmas holidays open houso was kept by the barons and knights, and for a fortnight and upward nothing was heard of but revelry and feasting. The grand feast, however, given by the feudal cbieftain to his friends and retainers, took place with great pomp and circumstance on Christmas day. Among the dishes served up on this important occasion, the boar's head was first at the feast and foremost on the board. When Christmas, in the time of the Commonwealth, was threatened with extinction by act of Parliament, the tallow chandlers loudly complained that they could find no sale for their mustard, bscauseof the diminished consumption of brawn in tho land. Parliament failed to put down Christmas but the boar's head never recovered its old supremacy at the table. Still its memory was cherished in some nooks and corners of old England long after it had ceased to rule the roast. Next in importance to tho boar's head as a Christmas dish came the peacock. To prepare argus for the table was task entailing no little trouble. The skin was first carefully stripped oft, with plummage adhering the bird was then roasted when done and partially cooled, it was served up again in its feathers, it's beak gilt, and so sent to the table- Sometimes the whole body was covered with leaf gold, and a pieceofcotton saturated with spirits, placed in its beak, and lighted before the carver commenced operations. This food for lovers, and meat tor lords, was stuffed with spices and sweet herbs, basted with yolk of egg, and served with plenty of gravy on great occasions, as many as three wethers being bruisod to make enough for a' single peacock. Mince pies were popular under the name of "mutton pies" as early as 1596t later authorities all agreeing in substituting neat's-tongue in the place of

ing much tho Bama as those recommended in modern receipes. Thev were also known as shred, and Christmas pies "Without the door let sorrow He,

And If for cold it hap to die, We'll buiy it in a Christmas pie, And evermore be merry

It is the improvement which energy has wrought and exigencies of trad demanded,in a South Fourth street grocery. The proprietors, Messrs. Byers Bros., are much more business-like than this notice. They have lately made some internal improvements in the store which will admit of its feeing filled much fuller with goods. They have everything that is nice.

GRANT.

The patrons of W. S. Grant, are to be particularly favored on Christmas day. On that occasion Mr. Grant will present each of his callers, (lree of charge) a glass of delicious egg nog. Grants fame and that of his popular assistant, Mr. Judd Hall, are widespread. The beverages compounded by them are of the highest erder. The billiard tables in this establishment are of the standard quality, with Phelan ft, Collander'8 famous cushions. A pleasant feature of Mr. Grant's establishment is a free reading room for the use of his customers. v. a. DICKOUT. •-.*

Nothing could be a more useful or more appropriate present to Iriend at Christmas time, than one of those handsomo valises or traveling bags at Dickout's well-known establishment.

THE OLD RELIABLE SCUDDER wishes to say to his old and new patrons and to the public generally, that his stock is now fully up to its well known standard. He wishes to sell any and every article in his extensive stock, not because ho is compelled to sell them in order to settle with his creditors, but because it is his business to sell them. Ho has settled with creditors not however, for twentj'-five cents, or fifty cents on the dollar, but for one hundred cents on the dollar. He buys all his goods at a bargain and can afford to sell them at a bargain. He keeps as large and complete a stock of confectionary and toys as can be found in tho city, ar.d his old customers noed not be told that he sells thpm at a uniformly low price.

FANCY NOTIONS,

A. Hob3rg has a store "chock full" of nice presents. Christmas comes but once a year, and childhood's days but once in a lifetime, so make yodir children happy while you can. Get a hobby horse or other intefesting things for little money at Hoburg's, Main street, south side, between Third and Fourth streets.

MUSIC.

Music, refines, educates, and cultivates. 'Twas its mighty povver which gave Apollo his scepter, and clad with irresistible charm the voice ot the siren. It ushered the world into existence,

and

dered

'tis its sweet harmony ren­

har9h

and clarion from the dread

occasion, which will announce the end of this world and the comingf second advent. It is the chiefest pleasure of care-laden mortals, and is fabled to be the never-failing joy of celestiabi It appears to the senses only,, and jis-hence sensual, but it has a subtly power which can both subdue and arouse, it can stay the bloody hand or'mnrderous execution or tire with valor a ter-ror-stricken soldier. It is always on the side of right, the better' side of a man's nature. The inate joy in it in youth should be cultii This Godgiven taste should not u/stunted. No pleasure is really so cheap, and the facilities for procuring instruments for its production are yearly being made more nearly within the reach of all. If a piano is too expensive get an organ. Kussner has all styles and grades. You can certainly be pleased/with his large, grand twelve-stop Buitictt, or if this costs more than you can affordi the silver-toned Needham will certainly suit your tasto. aud pocket, Kussner also has a delightful little instrument, tho Taylor &. Farley organ, which gives aufur» inu.w^-« .your uuiia is too young to learn, and children rarely are, get some other simple musical instrument. "Kussner's Palace" is full from collar to garret, with everything you

want. A'deep,

sin­

cere love for harmony cultivated in a child you will never regret, ev6n though he or she has no great talent. The reputation of the piano sold principally by Kussner, the Knabe, is world-wide, as seen from an item in an eastern paper, staling that Knabe had lately sold four of his instruments in Europe. This is quite a point for American manufacturers. Everybody knows where Kussner is Ohio street, south side, between Sncond and Third streets.

JEWELS AND ORNAMENTS

of gold and silver have always been accounted the most appropriate pres ents which could be offered on the natal day of Christ. When the Nazarene, who is reverenced as tho Savior of the world, lay a helpless infant in the manger, the wise men of the East offered costly presents of jewels at his feet. The custom takes its date from this although much earlier such tokens of affection were constantly bestowed, Pure, sparkling, rare, they are fit emblems of true love and fit insignia of rank to the wearer. The season again approaches when such things must be bought and Riddle is prepared for it. He led the holiday trade in jewelry last year and proposes to do it again this. He has some particularly desir able coral sets and fine gold necklac-

IF IT IS RIGHT,

(and it unquestionably is,) for people to cultivate their minds and tempers, so as to be morally beantiful, and loveable, why is it not right and proper for them to adorn their bodies, and render their exterior as handsome as possible? It is all nonsense about these little artifices for rendering people good looking being wicked. Mrs. Messmore's establishment on Main, next to Straus' is full of beautiful ladies goods, hair switches and ornaments of every kind. Mrs.. Messmore is long and favorably known, and she will be patronized.

You .will find hero everythiug cheap as the cheapest. SMITHERS WANTS HIS OYSTERS FRIED, Jones prefers his in a stew, Smith says he would not give a pinch oi' snuff for a bushel of oysters done up iu either style. He declares that the only way to cook oysters for a man of refined taste, is, not to cook them at all. He says the unnatural heat of the fire takes every particle of sweetness out of the bivalve, and renders it positively unfit to eat. Ho takes his oysters raw.

But it matters not how you want your oysters cooked. E. W. Johnson will supply you with the very best brands in the market. He sells the celebrated New York Saddle,Rock oysters by the keg, and better oysters cannot be found in the country,

A MORE SURSTANTIAL PRESENT than a good pair of shoes or boots, we cannot think of. Fathers and mothers who wish to make presents to their children will do well to consider the fact that a present of this kind will be of more use to the average boy or girl, than a thousand lol-de-rolsor gewgans. Go ye, therefore, to J. S. Jordon, and select from his elegant and complete stock, some substantial covering for the pedal extremities, a tribute of the heart to the feet as it were.

OF ALL APPEALS,'

although I grant the power of pathos and of gold,of beauty,flattery, threatsshilling— no ^methods' more sure at moments to take hold of the best feelings of mankind, which grow more tender, as we every day behold—Than that all softening overpowering knell— The tocsin of tho soul-the dir.ner bell! There is no use questioning it. Christmas is nothing without its riohly laden dinner tables.

The joy,

tho good

feeling, the happy, hearty glow of felJowship. all is as nought, if good eating does not accompany it. Let everybody, therefore, while buying presents not foget to visit Rippetoe and lay in such a stock of oodies as he alone keeps. His maple syrup, apple cider, celery aud other innumerable good things cannot fail to render the clad|8oason such if nothing else accompany it.

COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.

A good sound business education is one of those things that can not be knocked out of a man's head by any kind of adversity. Accomplishments may detonate, glitter may turn to aross and beauty u± CUAIWWR DO dragged into the mire of tho world's scorn and contempt, but a thorough, practical busiaess knowledge once acquired, as is acquired by all those who] graduate at Garvin Sc Heinly's Commercial, College, corner of Sixth and Main, wlu libgerj with a man all the years of his life. It is as enduring asfprinciple, as lasting as truth itself, for it is founded upon correct principles. And so if you want to present your son or nephew, cousin, neice or daughter with tha^ that enables such an one to secure that priceless boon, go there and Becure a scholarship in this superior school, and let it lie under the plate at the Christmas or New Year's breakfast table.

When you start out to look for something real pretty and uselul, at the same time reasonable in price, for Christmas presents for "the loved ones at hom'e," or tho "absent friend," don't ail to call at Buutin & Armstrong's,for you will be hard to please if yon do not find there just the thing looked for. They have beautiful artcles in Genuine Russia Leather, Turkey Morrocco, Pearl and Tortois Shell,Gilt and Bronze French Cut Glass, etc., etc., for teo numerous for us to remember or enumerate, Anyway, they make a very attractive display, and you will enjoy looking, even if you do not purchase.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

upon the Christmas festivities, otherwise tbey will be extremely flat, stale, and unprofitable. Go ye, therefore unto Theodore Stahl and make your wants known to him, and he will give you light. That is, he will sell you the finest lamps to be found in the city, and with proper. treatment they will furnish the light, Mr. Stahl has also a very fine stock of queenaware, china, etc. In making up your Christmas list don't forget Stahl. ,T^

BANKRUPT CLOTHIERS.

The Scriptural injunction of "tase no heed for the morrow what ye shall eat or what ye shall wear," would not work well in these latter days. In fact it never was intended to be taken literally. People nowadays must labor in order to provide for themselves. Under such circumstances they can not fail to be grateful to the bankrupt clothing men who are holding forth where tbe old 49 cent store used to be, for reducing prices as they have. Warm clothing is an indispensable necessary to comfort in cold weather. No more appropriate present can be made, and no place in town can sell at cheaper rates than these great bankrupts Main street, north side, between Sixth and Seventh. £..» 1 THE TROPICAL !V': R-I-J fruits are particularly palitable during Christmas times.

when devoted wives and daughters are secretly plotting how to surprise "father" with a particularly fine Christmas present, John Henry's hint to his wife as reported by a neighbor of his, is especially appropriate. "Mrs. Henry," said John, -'don'tyou go fool in' my money away on any ribbons or fol de rol for me I don't want any more of 'em. If you want to make me a Christmas present, jnst you go down to Alexander & Sibley's and get abont a half a bushel of those splendid shell oysters, and let's have some steamed oysters, or oysters on tbe half shell, or something of that sort for a Christmas dinner." John gave his wife good advice in this instance. Alexander A Sibley have all sorts of oysters, canned, bulk or shell, and they sell them at the very lowest market price.

This afternoon the bold thieves ec» tered a house in Bagdad, and stole some articles of jewelry, and other valuables. While they were in the midst of their work, the family which had been absent returned, and the thieves took flight. The alarm was raised, ,aL.d a lively pursuit ensned, over a hundred people engaging in iit before the end As they x-an out of the house one of them shot at a Mr. Robinson, but without any effect. Another shot was fired then at the party in pursuit, and hit a little boy by tbe name of Kirkwood, inflicting a severe but not dangerous wound, back of the ear. A terrible racket was made both by pursuers aud pursued, the former going in numbers and increasing in strength every moment. The thieves started in the direction of Mont Rose schoolhouse at which place they were finally brought to bay and captured, Messrs. Aaron Martin and George Sparks being the first at the front, and most prominent in effecting the captnre.
