GEORGETOWN.

How CHRISTMAS WAS CELEBRATED IN
GEoRGETOwN.-The night before Christmas
was jubilant i'm our usually quiet city. the old
folks thrOnging the streets and shops in their
search after final purchases for holiday gifts and
Christmas dinners, while some Of the young
people observed old fashioned custom Of
DOMINIC masks and fancy costumes and with q
band of music calling upon their friends. A
party of this kind in carriages can make great
number OF calls in an evening. With the band
in a hall or anteroOm the visitors and their hosts
engage in the dance or conversation, and after a
quarter or half hours merriment are on to an
other house.
Christmas morning was rather gloomy. the
sky being cloudy and threatening, and Young
America did not burn as much powder as usual.
The Catholic and Episcopal Churches were
hlled with large and attentive congregations at
TRINITY (Cdtho,ic) church.-La Hache's Mass
was sung at OK O'Clock in the morning Of Christ
mas day by the choir Of this church, under the
Leadership of W. D. Clements, the organist.
ODOnohue, (altO,) Drs. Barbarine and Klein
schmidt, (tenOrs,) and G. >. Helm, (bass) The
mass throughout was rendered admirably. Rev.
Father Gufda, 8. j., celebrated high mass, as
sisted by Rev. Father Bahan, s. j., as deacon
and Mr.. Holland, 8. j., as sub-deacOn. The
church was handsomely decorated with ever
green's, and festoons hung from the centre Of
the ceiling. Several appropriate notices were
displayed with good effect. One Of these, ''Unto
us IL born this day Saviour, who Is Christ the
Lord" was arranged ON the galleries, while an
front Of the choir. The altar was very taste
fully decorated, and from the ceiling over it was
suspended star, composed Of gas Jets, and i'm
mediateiy back Of it the name Of Jesus" also
Of gas jets, which added to the beauty of the
decorations and the sOlemnity of the service.
The children Of the Sunday school have their
Christmas tree in the old church, and the gifts
are being distributed this afternoon. Many
beautiful and serviceable articles have been
collected, which we have no doubt will prove
source Of qualification to the little ones
Chrisf (P. E.) CAwrcN.-On the afternoon OF
December 9th (Christmas Eve) the SUNDAY
School Of Christ Church held their annual
Christmas celebration. The church had been
tastcfully decorated with garlands of cedar fes-
TONED from the roof timbers, and the walls
bore legends In allusion to tho nativity of Christ.
Within the chancel were two Handsomely orna-
mented trees upon pedestals, and between these
trees was suspended a large star, covered with
green and bordered with red and evergreen.
The Dumbarton Sunday School were the guests
Of Christ Church School, anil, i'm all, over 3O0
children were present. After the singing of
several beautiful Christmas songs by the schol-
ars, and while the whole chancei and its deco.
rations were brilliantly lighted BY calcium
light, the rector, Rev. w. Williams, called upon
