OLDEN SDPSUBTITtONS.
A Swedish tradition la, that at tha faa-
tival of Christmas, the man living in tha
Northern parts era matamorphoaad Into
wolves, and rage so Aaroaly against man
kind that tha inhabitants suffer mors from
thsir attacks than they do from natural
wolves.
Readers of Washington Irving and his
delightful akatoh book, an familiar with
tha “Yula Clog," and tha “Lord of Mia
mi* in England."
Tha custom of serving up a aouaad
boar's head in England, arose from a tra
dition that a student of Quean's Cbllega,
Oxford, while oa a walk, reading Aristo
tle, waa xuddanly attacked by a furious
wild boar. Ha rammed tha volume down
Iho animal's throat, crying “Graoaum
Eat," until tha boar waa choked to death.
Tha custom of docking houses and
church** with avsrgroans is from tho
druid praotioaa in Franco and Germany.
It ia au English superstition that on
Christmas ava oxen era always found on
thair knesa in an attitude of devotion,
and that attar tha change from tha old to
tha naw style, they oontinuad to do this
only on Iho avo of old Christmas Day.
This waa derived from a madiieval notion
that an ox and aa am present at tha
nativity fall upon thair knaas in a sup
pliant posturo.
Than waa a famous hawthorn In the
church yard of Glastonbury Abbay,
which always budded on tha 24th and
blossom ad on tha 28th of Dscsmbar.
After tha (hangs of style it was observed
that it oontinuad to bloom on January
' 8th, which waa Ohriatmaa day, old stylo.
Tha troupe, with this oalebratad and
popular young actress as tha Star, will
appear in thsOpara Hows* on Monday
night, and play that and tha two follow,
ing evenings. Katia Putnam is ona of
tho moat talented aotors on tho stage.
Her abilities extend over a wide roach,
and aha ia equally good in tragedy as

any superiors. She has ever drown fall
