uL,rrIr CHRisrMAs."- Yesterday
was the day known in the O"tnoiic
Church as the Epiphany, or more tamil-
iarly a. "little Christmas" and il ad-
di,ion to the usual. religious observance
of the day here at Gold Hill, was the
Christmas tree for the children connect
ed with the church, deferred until the
present time on account of the very7
state Of the streets at Christmas. High
masses were duly solemnized at 8 and 0
o'clock A. ", aud at 2 P. N. the Christ
mas tree distribution Of presents took
place. We did ourselves the pleasure Of
being present. The spacious and we'll
furnished church was very neatly aud
appropriately trimmed with arches and
f~estoons Of evergreen, and We should
Judge that the children present, together
with their mothers and other women
friends, amounted to between two and
three hundred. There were but few of
the sterner sex in attendance. We have
rarely seen a more pleasing or better
pleased asssmblage than was gathered
within those walls. The little ones,
with their eager, happy beaming eyes,
gazing so interestedly upon the much
coveted treasures loading the green
branches of hat Christmas tree, or in
their surprised joy showing what they
had received, to parents, friends, or
equally happy little associates, was a
scene and occasion not soon TO be Tor
gotten by the Juveniles or those who
sympatized with them in this their an
nual holiday joy. Father Callan super
intended the distribution, assisted by
some OF the Sisters Of Charity, who
were present FROM Virginia, and an i'm
mense lot of toys, dolls, drums, little
dresses, pretty shoes, trumpets, big
apples. and other d~esirables, found
ready and most happy receivers. At
the conclusion Of the distribution,
Father Clark, Pastor of the Church,
made some very appropriate and good
remarks, and all were dismissed. One
little but quite significant point came
under our observation on this occasion.
There were probably not u dozen per-
sons inside that church who were not
Irish, and their children, from the many
noisy little opes in arms, TO those who
eagerly ran forward or stood up in re-
Spouse TO their names for the reception
OF presents, Of course largely compose
the Irish element in the rising genera
ton of Gold Hill, and we will say for
them, from critical personal observation
os them on this occasion, that a health
Ter, more intelligent, or NOR" promising
lot Of children we never saw.
