PreUmlnary Canvass of tlie Town—Tlioge WLo Desire Delivery at Their Kesi- dences Mnst BeUnqulsh Their Boxes. As previously announeed in these col- mnns, the carrier delivery postal system goes into operation in this village on the first o f January next. The preparations for this important event are about complete. The carriers are making a preliminaTy canvass o f the village, in order to obtain complete al phabetical lists of the names and address of the people on their respective routes. The names of the carriers as officially an nounc'd are : Peter Flanagan, James Winters, Charles Wheat and Joe Rosen- crance. Boxes for the collection of mail will be placed at convenient points along the routes and on January 1st everything will be in working order. It is essential that the lists which the carriers are now engaged in making,should be as complete as possible and to that end, residents of the postal district should he prompt in giving their own names and address, and those of their family or people residing in the same house with them. loasmuch as the new arrangements are for the public con venience the public should meet the post- office officials half way in their efforts to make the preparations as complete and thorough as possible. The residents of this village will also oblige the postofflee clerks and promote the thoroughness of the service, by notifying all their corres pondents Of their street and the number of the houses where they reside, so that let ters, papers and other mail matter can be properly addressed. This wiil save the derks the trouble of looking up the address ©n their lists and will also insure promptness o f delivery. People will also bear in mind, that when the carrier system begins, they must make their choice between having their mail delivered at their homes, and receiving it at the Post Office. The two ^ t e m s do not admit of combination. The majority o f business and professional men who have lock boxes will doubtless elect to continue the box delivery system as it has the advantage o f enabling them to get their mail as soon as distributed. The great majority of persens, however, will find it to their advantage to have their mail delivered by carriers at their houses. Those who have lock or call boxes and wish to relinquish hiring the same, must give notice o f their intention, at the Post Office,as otherwise their boxes will be continued. FBBSONAL.

A PEBILOPS EXPEKIENCE. Two Women Nearly Porisli In tlie Cold Near Monticello. People in the vicinity of Mouticello will remember that Tuesday night last was about as inclement as could well be imagined; besides being intensely cold, the wind howled and shrieked around as though a carnival of furies was being held in the village streets. Sometime between four and five o’clock Miss Emily Varnell and Mrs. Turberville started to go across lots from the Oster- hout farm near the Fair Grounds to the LeBarbier place. Their path lay along the upper part of the Osterhout swamp, through brush, marshy places, water and ice. After struggling along for some time they came to the conclusion that they had lost their way, and with a cheerless, dreary night before them. What to do they did not know. Miss Varnell was well acquainted with the country, but was utterly unable to tell which direction to take. They concluded finally that the only way out would be to travel toward the moon which was then appearing in the east. This took them in the direction of Henry W eber’s place near RatcifE P ark, bat tbrongh the most impenetrable part of the swamp. On they struggled through pool* o f water, ditches, mud and ice, for an hour or more until nearly exhausted it seemed they must give up and perish* Fortunately they kept shouting for help. John Loring who was passing along the road some distance away, thought the cries preceded from a wild oat, and did not investigate the cause. Finally Floyd, son o f Stoddard Pelton, who was out do ing up his chores for the night, caught the signal o f distress, aud following .the direction of the sound, found the two women in nearly an exhausted condition. With Mr. Loring’s help he succeeded in getting them to Mr. Weber’s where such assistance was given as the circum stance required. Mrs. Turberville ;was nearly used up when discovered; but Miss Varnell thought she could have stood it an hour longer. The rescued women were in the most deplorable cDndition: their clothing was torn and draggled, and they were soaked from head to foot. Their rescuers were also pretty well used up by the time the women were in a place of I’omfort. 1UCIS.S BEDDINGS BETVBN. t£he Opens lit the Opera House Alonday Eve—A Presentation. France oa Redding the charming young actress v7«,o played a weeks engagement at tb Opera House last fall, opened for holiday week on Monday evening. Consid ering that it was the eve of Christmas a very large audience was present. The piece produced ; a drama entitled Bleek- more Is from the- pen of Mr. Harry Smith the leading gentleman of the com pany and is a pretty piece. Between the second and third acts the curtain was rung up. The entire company appeared on the stage and Mr. Charles Theodore on behalf of the company and management, presented Miss Bedding with a beautiful gold watch. Miss Red ding in a very clever speech thanked the company for their gift. Last evening a crowded house greeted the company. Maritana or the soldier of fortune was produced and was well received. To-night Dion Boucicault sensational southern drama entitled the Octoroon or the Sunny South will be played. IS THIS TRUE? It ProUaMy Happened In Mlddletowu and Not in This Place. A Middletown gentleman of undoubted (?) veracity, says that while he was in a ;ore in Port Jervis, Saturday afternoon, well known young man o f that village intered and said to the merchant: “ Say, ent ha’ have you got any more socks like them' 1 got here a while ago. They’re the best I ever had. I’ve worn that pair I got here a while ago for six weeks and there didn’t a hole show in ’em till to-day.

Miiw J. Campbell, Opera HOW) CHRISTMAS PASSED. VARIOUS HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES AND OBSERVANCES. How the Day was Celebrated at the Various Churches—Fine Music at the St. Mary’s Cbtu'ch—Services at the Episcopal and Lutheran Churches. The mild weather'and cloudless skies which prevailed’yesterday, combined to render it one o f the most attractive and enjoyable Christmas days, of .which we have any recolleciion. It was almost a perfect day and large numbers of our people young and old found pleasant and healthful enjoyment in various out of door recreation. As on the previous gay the canal swarmed with skaters, from early in the morning until late in the evening. We are glad to note the revival of inter est in this excellent and invigorating out door amusement. Now that the rink has disappeared and roller skating has sub sided into innocuous desuetude, there will naturally be a return the more healthfnl if less facinating sport of ice skating. The perfect condition of the roads, combined with the mild ..weather and bright sunshine, tempted many to take a drive along the many beautiful roads with which this vicinity abounds and the demand for rigs was so great as to tax the resources of onr various livery .stables to their utmost. The day was celebrated by appropriate religious services at tbe Catholic and Episcopal churches. At I5t. Mary’s church, owing to the special preparations in the way o f fine music, the Christmas services surpassed in musical interest any thing that has been heretofore attained. High mass was sung at 5 o’clock a. m., and low masses at 7 and 9 o’clock, and at 10.80 a grand musical mass was celebrated. There was a full attendance at the various cere monies. At Grace church the day was celebrated ’with a full morning service with a sermon and celebration o f the Holy Communion. Appropriate religious services were also held at tbe German Lutheran churub. The Christmas entertainment given by the Methodist Sunday school last night was well attended. The audience room was tastefully decorated with evergreens and the national colors. The large pro gram was carried out to the letter, with almost military precision and kept the audience in continuous merriment for more than two hours. All did their parts so well that it would be difficult to single out any. They displayed wonderful apt- ness and every word was clear and dis tinct. The tact and skill of Mrs. W. Z. Muir and Miss Ella Margisou, the ladies who had it in charge, was apparent in every part. Miss E. M. Palmer was or ganist. After the entertainment a social hour was spent in the Sunday school room, which was much enjoyed by par ents and children. It netted a neat sum for the libraiy fund. HYMENEAL. lnt«restIi>K Weddlns: Ceremony tb« Residence of John Main. The residence of John Main on King ston ave., was last night, the scenes o f an interesting and auspicious event, in the marriage of his daughter, Miss Lulu Main to Mr. Charles W i n g e r of this village. The osremony was performed by the Rev. J. A. McWilliams In the pres ence of the immediate relatives of tbe contracting parties and a few invited friends. The wedded couple have we are informed gone East on a somewhat ex tended wedding tour at the oonelusioa of which they ’will return to this village and begin house keeping. Tho bride is an excellent and charming young lady and Mr. Wehinger is we be lieve in every’way worthy of the good fonune which haa befallen him. We congratulate them both, and we trust their weddedlife maybe one of continual happiness and sunshine. Has Used Tbem for 19 Years. Ira J. Griffin, Book-keeper First Na tlonal Bank, Sing Sing, N.

Anyone having ccoasion to visit the depot about noon at the time of the arrival of trains One and Nine would be surprised at ’he activity o f the sc6ne. Crowds of people were hurrying to and from the depot, the employees were bustling about, and the express men were busy looking alter the large number of holiday presents, which were being sent aud received on the diff erent trains. At tbe ticket office the ticket agent was kept busy selling tickets to parties wish ing to spend the holidays with friends from out of town aud at the baggage rooms the employees were kept going looking after the baggage of which there was an extra heavy tun. It was an especially interesting sight to stand on the platform at the time of the arrival o f train Eleven and see the many residents of points along the Delaware division who had been to town to do shopping.

The Senatorial Question Canvassed—Proh- atole Nominations—Tbe District 'Will Undoubtedly Elect ’a Republican. The special Senatorial election in this district has been ca led for Tuesday, Jan uary 29 th. The long delay o f Gov. Hill in calling the special election was dne to his anxiety, to secure the nomination and election of Hon. George W. Greene, to fill the position for the unexpired time. It was o f little consequence lo Gov. Hill, that the date,was made so late that the district will be deprived of representa tion for over a month. He cared more for the success o f a personal friend, and it was necessary that there be some delay that everything could be arranged so ths;t Mr. Greene would surely be nominated. The democratic machine has been put in line with this movement and an early convention has been called by them, the dale being January 2d. If, therefore, Mr. Greene sball be nominated, he will Of course resign, and a new election will be ordered for the Assembly, wnich can be held the same date as the B natorial election. We sincerely hepe mat Mr. Greene maybe successful in his aspira tions for the nomination. The trickery of Gov. Mill will in no way aid him, and as the district will surely elect a republican as the successor of th© late Senator Low, we think Mr. Greene might as well be offered as a sac rifice as any other person. Hon, Peter Ward, ex-Mayor of New burgh, has been named as a possible can didate for the democratic nomination, but the Register of Monday says that “ Mr. Ward refuses the use or his name, and desires it understood that no situation can arise which could induce him to ac cept a nomination, and that personal and business relations preclude the possibility •)f his accepting even a unanimous noml- .aaiion.” Now with Mr. Ward out of his way Mr. Green will probably find plain sailing and with Mr. Green’s resignation there will c ime a fight for the Democratic Assembly uominaiion in which Hon. Frank Buckley and Wm. F. O’Neiil, Esq., boih of Mid dletown and Hon. John Kinsilia and Supervisor RosencraLcs of Deerpaik will be the probable contestants. A nice family quarrel in the Democratic ranks here will make the district debatable. I The republicans need only to come out in force at this election and the new senator will be of their political faith. A host of good names have been men tioned in connection with the nomination, among them being Hon. Lewis E. Carr of Port Jervis, Wm. P. R chardson Esq., of Goshen and Wm. B. Royce E-q., of Wall- kill. Either of these gentlemen can surely carry tais distiict. Let the repub licans understand that they must make special efforts for the polling of a full vote and they will surely win. A SPECIAL TEA TRAIN.
