prompts
the poor people at the Union are very noteworthy, as
showing how much happiness may be bestowed by
one who has the will to give, coupled with the means,
and who is, above all, willing to do good to those who
cannot recompense By a kind instinct, the inmates
of the Union were lively with anticipation, as they
either guessed from Mr. 'Thomas's knowing counten-
ance, or somehow had got told, that something good
was coining out of store for them somewhen about the
New Year. Mr. Edwards had written to Mr.
Thomas, as usual, desiring to pay for the cost of the
treat, and desiring Mr. Thomas to distribute it, and
the latter invited the Worshipful the Mayor (Mr.
Lundie) and others to the Union-honse. His
Worship attended, and there were also Mr. T. J. A.
Buck, a guardian; Mr. J. A. Talbot, guardian; Mr.
Heathcote Smith, and Dr... Simpson, doctor at the
Union. Mrs. Bishop, matron; Mr. White, school-
master; Miss Le Warne. schoolmistress; and Mrs.
Riggs, nurse, all assisted in the distribution. A large
Christmas tree had been obtained from Mr. Laver,
and was set up in the " able.bodied females'
ward," where it reached from the floor into which it
was let down to the very ceiling, between ten and
twelve feet high. It was brilliant with a number of
Chinese lanterns lighted up, and plentifully hung with
oranges, and toys, such as baskets, figures, &c., and
lots ;lairs of gloves. The walls of the ward were
decorated with boughs of fir, evergreen wreaths, and
mottoes wishing "Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year" to the guardians, the master and mistress, the
doctor, the schoolmaster and mistress, the porter and
nurse. Of the one wishing "Long life and happiness
to our member, Mr. Edwards," we have written be-
fore. As soon as the tree was fully prepared, the boys
and girls, numbering about two dozen of each, were
brought in, and were delighted with the fine tree.

they carried off, one concealing it under his coat; but
they were followed by Mr. Young'3 niece, who was
nerving in the chop. On being overtaken the rascals
declared they had nothing; but an the young person
would not leave them, the fellow who had it threw the
jar over his nhoubler, and the whole decamped. The
Jar contained -11 b. of honey, and, it being broken to

CHDACH M1551.,11t4.--At St. Georges schoolroom
Tuesday evening last was held the annual tea meeting
M connection with Church Missions. It Wag a most
unfavourable time on account of the wet weather, but
so popular are these gatherings at the school that there
was a very good attendance. After tea the Rev. J.
A. Rearor delivered a lecture on " Africa," illustrated
by dissolving viesso shown by a magic lantern kindly
lent by Commander Rinehart, H.M.S. IFlowewen.
The first part of the lecture was on Africa generally,
describing its position, the races of people, their
manners and customs ; and the second part had special
reference to mission work in that great continent.
Ist`witavtox.—Guring the recent rough weather the
sea came into Chesil to a greater extent than has been
known for many years. In high tithe; it generally
percolates through the beach, but on this occasion
the percolation was greater than usual, for the water
hail risen actually to the top "keel,," and poured over
the beach as well as through. Opposite Brandy Row
and the Cove were six fishing leats, hauled up for
safty on the "dirty bank ;" but the sea swepl these
with a large piece of timber, right down into the
street, and the boats were much damaged. The
houses and railway were again inundated, but as this
happened mainly between six and seven in the morn-
ing of Sunday the train servive was not interrupted.
The people who inhabited the houses hail either to
migrate or confine themselvcv to their upper rooms.
