that of the White Sunday Schools and the
Night School on Thursday (Holy Innocsnts'
Day. and that Of the Colored Sunday School
on Friday. The exercises connected with both
OF them were OF the most interesting charac-
ter. At the 6rst Festival, two new Carols and
we're spiritedy sung by the Sunday Schools,
aud enc by the Night School. Amongst them
was one just written by the Rev. Mr. Whittiog-
ham, of New Castle, and which we doubt not,
will become general iavorite. At the Second
Festival, theee Of the colored ministers OF the
city we're present. and two of them made ap.
propriate addresses. The Christmas Tree
(Which was erected in the School aouse) was
a very handsome one, and beautifully decora-
ted. The supply Of gifts of all kinds on both
occasions was very liberal, and their distribu-
ton brought great happiness to the very large
number OF scholars now belonging to this par
ish. We understand that at each Festival the
schools made generous contribution to the
Fund for the enlargement of the School Hou 30,
the necessity for which was very apparent last
week.
Interesting FesttVal,-The Superintendent and
Teach ers of Cavalry Chapel Sabbath School,
corner of Third and Washington streets, sur
prised the scholars on last Tuesday evening e,
with Christmas tree, loaded with eweetmeats
and other niceties, tor the especial benefit of
the children. The scene presented the appear.
snce of a fairy garden in which was strewn
every variety of flowers emitting their ira
GRANGE and beauty all around. The children
enjoyed the treat greatly. The audience room
Of the chapel was crowded with spectators -
Tue festooping of the church was In excellent
taste, and everything passed Oh 10 the most
satisfactory manner. To Captain Gallagher.
the efficient Superintendent of the Chapel
School, is tue credit due for this aod other At
tracrive pleasing remembrances of the children
under his charge. Toe growth and prosperi-
ty OF the school is rapid and gratifying; and
We hope ere long to number the Chapel among
tue Independent, self sustaining parishes OF tho
Episcopal church OF this diocese.
StantOn.-This village bids fair to incress Sc
rapidly IN wealth and population. Ashton

they will pat Ia operation this spring. They

after the damage sustained by a former fresh

having factory erected near the Depot, and
there is a fair prospect of further building, as
houses will be needed for the workmen to live
in with their families. We are pleased to see

are thus indicated.
