SATURDAY MORNING, JAN. 9, 1869.
The Christmas-Tree offerings.

Inc several cnurcncS In THIS pace maze
very creditablc display Of. presents for the
Sabbath school children, as well as some
for adults, on Christmas eve and evening.
At the St. Johns Church, Thursday even
ing, we observed beautiful tree, gaily
decorated, fairly bending with its load of
presents and brilliantly illuminated with
little wax tapers that looked like so many
stars through the green foliage. At the
Presbyterian Church was " similar offer
ing, and both churches were thronged with
eager, expectant children, and their no less
delighted parents.
On Friday evening, the Spiritualists had
"trcc" in Tacoma Iall-and hand
60 er one we have not seen the present
.... from which all sorts of presents
w,re distributed to both old and young.
On. feature here deserves special mention
$50. veral cages of birds were suspended
Tout the tree, and the sweet notes of the
;.ny songsters filed the air with melody.
Several of the presents distributed were
decidedly unique. Burr received gold
watch nearly foot in diameter; a young
man in the audience, huge razor, with q
tin blade and inlaid with magnificent orna-
ments of the same metal young lady, a
diminutive banjo, of superior tone and flu
ish. Many other presents were useful and
costly. The Methodists had their obscrv.
lnco the same evening, and there too, hand
some aud costly presents were distributed
with lavish hand. DIR. Willard was made
the recipient of an elegant gold watch, by
some apprcciative friend, while Captain
and Mrs. Finch received many valuable
presents Probably the value of the gifts
distributed by either the Methodist or
Spiritual congregations, would not fall far
below, in the aggregate, one thousand dol
lars.
Too much credit cannot be awarded the
ladies Of the several churches for their in
tcrest manifested in preparing these de-
lightfal offerings. None but fair hands
could prepare with so much taste, nor none
but loving hearts devise the appropriate
ness Of each gift. t. -
Besides these public distributions, We
learn that there have been several private
Trees, among which was one devised by
Miss Stella Galliher, and the Misses Clark,
Of Steilacoom, which VIC deem to be worthy
Of special commentator. This was erect
ed in Tacoma Hall, on Saturday evening,
md although It might not have been as
great in stature, nor laden with as costly
presents, it was far more Symmetrical tfan
any GIFTS predecessors, audth lights shone
g bright from its branches as from any Of
IL more prctentious rivals. Some thirty
or more children, and a few grown people,
were in attendance, and ere,y6ody reccircd
a present. We therefore bcstow upon
Stella greater need Of glory than all the
others combined. ~'+' '" '''
