After eating your Christmas mince -fie, did you wake in the dead hours •f night with a menagerie walking about over your bed and a pain about your epigastrium ?

Miss Nellie Ward, a belle of Cedar town, passed through this city Tues day en route for Atlanta, whore ru mor says she goes to consult millin ers in regard to a very important event. An elegant supper, given fyy Mrs. Joshua Sumner to her patrons of the Hicks House, was an enjoyable fea ture of Christmas. There are always many nice things when Mrs. S. sets an extra table. Eddie Johnson, of the Atlanta Constitution , dropped in the city just in time to fake a look at the feetivi ties at the Bartow House, Monday night. He had the toothache and had promised his sweetheart to for swear all such, and hence he did not participate. We detect, way down at the bot tom of the immense car-load of Christmas gifts we receiver], an ele gant, broad-brimmed hat. Who gave it? Harry Erwin, of course. Who else is big-hearted enough to think of an impecunious 1. e. Christ mas times? A Marietta girl shook out her slocking Christmas morning and was bitterly disappointed at discovering no presents. On a closer examina tion, however, she was made happy by finding a splendid, upright piano, which had concealed itself at the ex treme toeend of the stocking. Mr. E. Fletcher Smith, foreman of the Chattanooga Times , spent Christ inas week with his family and friends here. By the way, the Times has improved wonderfully in typograph ical neatness since Fleth’s assumacy of the foremanship—which we trust the patrons of that excellent sheet appreciate. We received an elegantly printed Invitation to attend a complimentary hop at Athens, Tern., on the 27th ult. Nothing would have afforded us more pleasure than attending, as there are no girls we like better than the blithesome, beautiful maidens of East Tennessee, and besides the boys get up tilings in the right style. CHRISTMAS. How th Holiday Weak Went Off in Our City. As com pared with previous Christ mas weeks the one just passed was dull. The negroes, even, perchance from the lack of money, did not carry their jollifications to near the extent as is their wont, and we expect the lack of lucre spiked many a fire cracker of the juveniles. The pinch ing, pressing times are successfully shutting off the accustomed hilarity which characterizes the holidays in the South. The young ami old people, how ever, had several little pleasant occa sions during the week, the first of which was an elegant private Christ mas tree at the residence of Colonel A. Johnson ou Christmas eve night. It was very much enjoyed by the little ones of the family. Christmas day w’as dreary and wet, but this did not prevent a number of the small boys and colored popula tion from firing off a limited amount ©f fire-crackers. After dinner the average old citizen picked the turkoy from his teeth and lazily waded through tho muddy streets full up with good eating and good will for all. An elegant Christmas breakfast at the residence of Mr. Wm. H. Ilackett was an allair of the day. At night the elite of the city assembled at the christening of the New Opera House by THE WALLACK TRIPOLOGUE TROUPE The house, though not finished, pleased all. It was brilliantly light ed, and the elegant little set of porta ble scenery of the Wallaeks set the stage off handsomely. The pro gramme was a pleasant, entertaining and chaste one and was carried out by the three performers in an artistic and praiseworthy manner. Mr.Wat ty Wallack is an artist whose many years of labor on the stage has placed him at tho head of the profession and he justly deserves all the laurels he has won. Mr. J. A. Rider is perfect ly excruciating in his droll comic songs and acting. Especially happy is he in his great specialty of “The Hungry Army.” But the bright, particular star of the troupe is Fan nie Wallack. Her every appearance before the footlights was greeted with deafening applause. She has a splen did voice in song, but it did not show off to the best advantage because she was compelled to play her own ac companiments, which, of course, is a drawback to any singer. In the many characters she assumes she is artistic and beautiful. Her pretty face, sylph-like form and charming vivacious manners carry by storm the heart of every one in the audi ence.

A small number of friends assem bled at the elegant mansion of Mrs. Lewis Tumlin, on Thursday, to par take of obg of those elegant dinners for which tho hostess is so famous. There were present: Col. Miles G. Dobbins and lady, Captain Peacock and Indy, F. P. Gray and Jady ; Jere E. Field and lady, Mrs. Humphreys, Misses Field, Miss Lulu Peacock, Misses Tumlin, M. M. Scott, J. C. Tumlin, Lewis Erwin and this bohe mian. Mrs. Tumlin, assisted .by Misses Goldsmith and Veal, of Stone Mountain, and her son, the big hearted Henry, did the honors,of tho occasion. The table was loaded with solid comforts and delicacies, with sparkling wines to wash it all down. This was the most pleasant of all the Christmas events to this writer, and he will never live to forget it. THE POUND PARTY. A pound party was given at the residence of Mr. John T. Owen on Friday evening. We regret our ina bility to attend this pleasaut event, but learn it was not exceeded in brilliancy and elegance by any party ever given in our village. There was a large attendance, and we hear of many sweet tales being poured in tho ears of lovely maidens on that night. THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH was beautifully decorated on Christ mas day. There being no minister here, services wore not held on that day. This decoration is a most beau tiful custom of the church and we were glad t© see it observed by the faithful few of our city. DANCE OUT THE OLD —DANCE IN THE NEW. Perhaps the largest as well as the most brilliant social gathering of the season assembled on the night of New Year’s Eve in the parlors of the Bar tow House, in response to a cordial invitation of the geneious hostess, Mrs. P. Marsh. The elegant Mariet ta string band was employed for the occasion, and to its dulcet notes those who felt inclined (aud they were in the majority) gilded through the mazy waltz and marched through the graceful lancers and the jolly quadrilles. Never before did the beauty of our little village shine with more radiancy ami brilliancy nor the boys look more handsome and courtly in their full dress costumes. About ten o’clock toe guests ceased their terpsichorean enjoyments and assembled around a table laden with those delicacies which Mrs. Marsh alone knows how to prepare. Col. Crawford, though a youthful gentle mao of some sixty years, very gal lantly gave the toast of the evening: “May there be many marriages and flaw deaths.” Every youngster in the room felt inclined to bring about the first, though it should involve an approximation of the latter wish of the toast. After supper the assem blage listened with delight to numer ous songs given by Miss Clara Stovall and Mrs. Fuqua. This singing was the most pleasant feature of the even ing’s enjoyment. NEW YEARS’ DINNERS, RECEPTIONS, ETC. There were several elegant dinners given by families to friends. Among the most extensive was that one at the residence of Mr. F. P. Gray and, u dy. This couple, though young at house-keeping, served nil elegant dinner to their friends. There was a reception at the resi dence of Captain C. T. Shelnaan at night, at which the elite of theStiles boro neighborhoed assembled. The hospitable fame of “Etowah Heights” was well sustained. The custom of New’ Year's calling having never yet been fairly inaugu rated among our society people, but two ladies received on that day. Miss Lillie Johnson, assisted by Miss Beatrice Bacon, of Atlanta, and Misses Shepherd and Peacock, of this city, entertained a number of callers at the residence of her father. As he entered, each visitor was struck with intense admiration of the bril liant scene before him. The recep tion room was beautifully decorated with evergreens, holly aad fall leaves. Through an open door, over which in an arch of evergreens, were the words “A Happy New Year—lß7B,” could be seen the snowy drapery of the refreshment table upon which arosfe deliciously arranged pyramids efthe daintiest auliuary delicacies. To this table the visiter wns escorted by one of the Naiad* and bountifully helped to the feast. The whole scene would put to his best descriptive powers the man who writes up those beautiful stories about fairy grottos, e te. Asa hostess, Miss Johnson is cordial, brillunt and entertain ing. She was attired in a black tar letan, made princesse, with Eugenie train. The scarf drapery was of ashes of roses, and the trimmings corres ponded with the drapery; Miss Ba con was arrayed in a black silk, with Malita polonaise of lace—crimson trimmings and coral jewelry. Miss Shepherd wore an evening dress, draped with white scarf, looped with cameo colored roses; the jewelry were beautiful cameos. Miss Peacock wore dark silk with Claudine cor sage of cell blue —pearl ornaments. At the Bartow ilonse Mis. Fuqua, assisted by Miss Nellie Ward, of Ce dartown and Mrs. Thomas, welcomed and received in the most gracious manner a number of friends. After dispensing delicious cakes and ruby wines, Mi’s. F. announced that the occasion was not a fashionable New- Year’s reception, but that each guest was cordially invited to be seated and have a good social time. This invitation the visitors accepted, and for an hour or more were entertained by the brilliant speeches and witti cisms of the ladies. Mrs. F. has been spending several weeks In our city and has won a host of friends and admirers by her elegance of bear ing and brilliant musical attain ments. the bouncing new one homlued. The festivities were all enjoyed, an'd, as the beys carefully fold away their swallow-tails in camphor-fumed re coptacles, they all feel that this is one more golden mile-post on the track of time, and sincerely trust that each succeeding one may be as pleasant and happy.

[COintUNICATBn.] A Pleasant Occasion. On the evening of December 20th, the writer wie the fortunate gaeet of Capt. James M. Lackey, our re elected city marshal, at a supper given by him at the Bartow House in this city. Quito a number of so ciable and agreeable gentlemen were present, among them our new Mayor Col. A. P. Wofford, ex-Alderman A. It. Hudgins, Hon. Thomas H. Baker and several of tfie new city officials. It is not often that such a treat is enjoyed by any one, and I doubt if it has ever Weeu the good for tune of any of those present to spend a few hours so agreeably and to hav© placed beforo them a more tempting repast, which was enjoyed beyond question. Everything passed, off splendidly, and it is worthy of re mark that not a drop of spirits of any kind was about the table or the house, but truly an enjoyablo occasion en gendered by the general good feel ing of all present. We must not for get, however, the kind host and hostess of the Bartow House, who so carefully looked after the enjoyment of all present. Surely there cannot be found kinder-hearted or more hos pitable hosts than Mrs. Marsh and Uutle Peter. Long may they live and a prosperous lifts be theirs. As to Mr. Lackey his hospitality was appreciated to the greatest ex tent, and the general wish was and is, that he may live to enjoy many such successes as Ids last, and also re member his fellow creatures as on the occasion above referred to.
