MR EDWARDS' TRRAT TO TUB LOUTH/4
MT Henry F...lwards' annual bounty to the inmotes of
the Union Workhouse was dispensed on Wednesday
evening by Mr. Alderman Thomas and Mr. J. E.
Robens. Mir treat is one of the few rays of sunshine
that help to cheer the dreary life of the unfortunate
inmates, and we hope the day is far distant when the
charity will be withheld. The treat consists of the
present of a pound of sugar and a quarter-pound of
tea to the women; two .mices of tobacco, and a pint-
and-a-half of beer for the men • besides °ranee% nub',
buns, toy., &c., in abundance for the children Mr.
Thomas. in dealing out the good things to the inmate.,
reminded them whale gifts they were, and
whom they had to thank, and hearty cheers were given
for the hon. member for his kind remembrance ..f
them. The various wards had been nicely de "meted
with mottoes and evergreens, the credit of which is
due principally to Mr. Stanton. We could not help
Retiring the great and agreeable alteration that has
been made in the chapel. The building has been
entirely re-roofed, and other important alterations
have been made. The roof, which has been excellently
designed by Mr. Stanton, Is in the open Gothic style,
of stained deal, and is in perfect harmony with the
rest of the building. The work was entirely done by
Mr. Stanton, and the workhouse boys, emulated by one
workman, in five weeks, and he deserves a special
word of prates. We also understand Mr. Stanton has
suggeded several other improvemente, which, if carried
out, will make the chapel as nice a place of worship as
could possibly be wished.
New 'TSUI'S BiTHlllino.—The annual "New
Year's gathering," in connection with the Wesleyan

visions. At intervals during the evening a capital

with a Christmas anthem by Mons. Probst and the
choir, which was followed by a nice recitation,
entitled, "Sunshine," by Mr. Honebon. Miss Omens
and Mrs. Brice next performed, in excellent style, •

pleaded. Mrs. Stedman then rendered in her in.
imitable style, Smart's beautiful song, "The Sailor's
Story." The second part commenced with • recitation

,

and Mi.! Aeocks recited

principal features was "The Nightingale's Trill," hy
Mrs. Stedman' in which she displayed her well.
trained voice to the beet advantage. Mrs. Brice next

Frt Keg. Let the Hills Resound" (Brinley Richards),
