sunday schoeI Ga.I.erlng.

The SUNDAY School scholars attached to
st. Anne's church, assembled in the spa
cious recitation room of the EdGeksid Fe-
male Seminary On Tuesday evening lsst,
to have an interview with old Santa
Claus, who had previously declared his
intention to be present on that occasion.
The attendance Of scholars was large, and
in addition to which, there were number
of the old folks present who were interest
ed in the festivities prepared for the child
rem. After the usual exercises, such as
singing, etc, and very neat little address
from Prof. Bailey, James III. Anderson, the
Superintendent, commenced bestowing the
gifts Tho tree was large one, hand
somely decorated, and contained more than
the ordinary number of presents, such
as work-boxes, books, writing desks,
knives, vases, and toys of every descrlp-
ton. We have never seen tree more
heavily weighted with Christmas 'tixins,
and embracing that character OF presents,
too. which were both useful and orna-
mental. The articles were so numerous
that every one of the scholars received
several presents, and there was sufficient
number of toys left to distribute among
those who were not members of the school.
After this very liberal treat from Santa
Claus, the '1ittle folks were invited to a
supper prepared by the ladies OF the church,
to which they responded with will. The
evening passed off most joyously, and there
was not one of the smiling faces that
assembled around the Christmas tree on the
night in question, but what will look for
ward with pleasure to reunions OF similar
character in the future.

The Theological Medium.

This is the tit'e of Cumberland Presby-
terrain Quarterly, issued in this city, by
Rev T. C. Blake, D. D., the first number
commencing with the year 1870. This
number is printed on superior book paper,
from clear type, and in makeup has never
been surpassed by any similar publication
in America. Its contents, 50 far as we
have been able to read and digest them, are
able and exhaustive of the subjects treated
The contributions are from the leading
minds of the church, and as a denomina-
tional publication, all Cumberland Presby-
terians may well look to it for doctrine and
instruction, and be proud of it as the ex-
positor of their faith. In the current
Theological Literature of the times, it will
take a front rank; and for its dignity, ele-
walton, and religious conservatism, as well
as its powerful discussion in the interests
Of universal Christianity, and universal
piety, will command the hearty admiration
Of the Christian world at large.
DIR. B., its editor, is q whole-souled
worker, and never flags in the labors i'm
posed by the Divine Master He is editor
Of the Banner Of Peace and the Sab50th-
Srbo0l gem, both having alarge circulation,
the latter going among all denominations,
and enjoying patronage never equaled in
this section, or perhaps in the Union. This
new Quarterly, the Medium, will enjoy the
fruits of his maturest thought and his va
ried learning, and will commend ITSELF in
all respects, to the support of the church,
and the good opinion of all.

RIVER AND WEATHER
ARRIVED.
Burksville, Greensboro.
DEPARTED.
John Lumsden, Cairo.

The river continued to recede at this
point, with 81 feet on Harpeth Shoals,
Weather clear and pleasant.
The Burksville arrived yesterday from
Greensboro, on the upper Cumberland,
loaded principally with corn.
The John Lu1nsden cleared for Cairo,
with fair packet trip.
The Robert Moore is still expected, and
will probably be in port to-day.
The Ollie Sullivan, from Evansville, will
probably arrive to-day. She has large
cargo.
The Talisman, from Cairo, is due to-day
at u o'clock. She is the regular packet
on return trip, Friday, at P. II.
The coal boat feet had not arrived up to
dark, but their arrival was looked for
hourly.
Between and o'clock Monday night,
the Leonora No. . was endeavoring to make
her usual landing at the Louisville wharf
The night was very dark, the wind was
blowing up stream, and the current at that
point was rather strong and swift. In en-
deavOring to head into her usual position,
the wind kept her stern out in the stream,
while the current hurried the bow along
in spite of her rudder. The pilot saw
through the darkness that he was about to
run into steamer at the landing, and be-
gan backing the boat. Her Roadway was
so great, however, that she struck, nose
on. against the timbers of the Mary Hous-
tons wheel-hOuse. The result was that
the wheel-house was considerably dam
aged, while the bow timbers of the Leono-
IA, by the leverage thus obtained, we're
wrenched from their fastenings in the
keel and huge hole made. into which the
waters began pouring in a torrent. For
tunately there was no freight in the hold,
and all the ether goods on board, except
few bales of hay on the boiler deck, were
saved, as well as all the passengers. It re-
quired about an hour, after the accident
occurred, before a landing could be eff
fected. She now lies at the wharf with
her stern in some thirteen feet of water
and the bow in about three or four.
Navigation closed at Winona on Friday,
December II, having continued later by
eight days than for thirteen years. The
Republican says that the first arrival from
above was on the Both of March, aud from
below April 6, making the entire season
two hundred and fifty-ive days. Owing to
the opening of the river being later than
the previous year the season was eight days
shorter at that port than in 1868.

ILLNESS of Gcorge ID. Prenticc.

We find the following notice in regard TO
the illness of George d. Prentice in the
Louisville C0urier-JOurHGL of yesterday:
The latest intelligence from Mr.. George
d. Prentice, who lies i'll at the residence of
his son, Col. Clarence Prentice, near this
city, represents his condition as extremely
critical. He left the Office of the Courier
Journal about ten days ago in perfect
health, and it is supposed contracted a cold
on his way to the country which r1pened
into pneumonia, from which he has suffered
extremely ever since. DIR. Benson was
summoned several days ago, and has been
his constant and unwavering attendant.
Last evening the disease seemed to be
checked, but Mr.. Prentice's physical con-
dition was very PROSTATE. There are
thousands of hearts all over this country
who will watch for tidings from his sick
bed with eager interest, and there is no
one of his associates whose sympathies and
kindly regard do not attend him.
