time since several families left Provincetown to
locate in Eastern Virginia. They took with
them large and noble dog, of the Newfound-

in a small schooner, the dog broke loose, leaped

off Race Point, and nine from this town, headinp
for Race Light, nobly breasting the roD' ING

An Incident.

A little incident occurred on yesterday, which
we feel disposed to tell-though perhaps we may
be betrayiug confidence by, so doing. "A gentle
man of this city, happening among group of
friends, proposed that small subscription be
taken up for the purpose of buying a Christmas
present for some poor children who had receiv
ed none. The proposition was responded to, and
sum raised and placed in the hands ofthe gen.
tleman who had suggested the thing; and he
went forth upon his benevolent mission. At the
corner of the next street he met poor woman
with four ragged little children-three girls and
boy. He called the little boy to him, asked
him if he had had any Christmas presents, and
on his replying in the negative, the gentleman
gave him the money he had collected to divide
among his sisters. The rejoicings of those chill
dren may beimagined-so may be the gratitude
of the mother, though it could not be measured.
If there is another one of our readers who spent
a happier Christmas than this gentleman, he
must indeed have had blssful time of What
u beautiful, and happy, and appropriate way it
was of concentrating the birthday of Him
who hath said, slnasmuch as re have done it
