CHRISTMAS AT TRINITY CHURCH opened
with Christmas Tree and children's service
at S o'clock Christmas Eve. Among the
notable things on this occasion was gift
from the children to the Superintendent,
Mr.. Fl. Fl. Mayo, of enc of Prangs best
chromos.
The service of Christmas day was certain
ly one to be enjoyed by oil. To- say that
the music WAS excellent does not ex-
press the half tina. was felt by those who
were fortunate enough to hear it. On these
great days Of the church, the music is 81
ways rendered by this choir in way
that would do credit to any choir In our
great cities The sermon BY the Rector was
q most appropriate one, from the text,
"What mean ye by this service The
decorations of the church are all in exquisite
taste and must be seen to be truly appre-
ciAted.
The.sentences upon the wallis are cut
from Maroon and green velvet paper, in
plain and old English letters. Over the
chancel window are the words, "Peace on
Earth" "Good will toward men," Over
the main arch of the chsncel, "Glory to the
new born King" One entrance door has
above it, "Son of the Highest" and the
other, "The Gift of God" There are nine
shields of various colors, upon which in lot
tiers of green, gold and silver may be read
the names of theIvsrious sessonsof the church
year, such as Christmas, Circumcision,
Epiphany, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday
Easter Ascension, Whit Sunday and Trinity
These sreplsced at intervals around the entir'
church, commencing with Christmas, which
to distinguish it, is hung in the point of thu
chancel arch, surmounted By Q wreath o
evergreens. The altar draped in white i
bordered by wreath of Cedar and Hemlocl
and bears upon its front in Holly leaves tn
word Emanuel" The pulpit, lecturn an
prayer desk are hung in white meriuo
The first shows upon the front the letter
81. H. S." in Holly leaves and berries, sne
the lecturn has folisted cross Of white frost
ed plush. The real gem of all, to our eye
is.he large, plain Cross upon the altar, of tn
same material, relieved by delicate vine o
ivy. 1t makes o ne think of new-fAllen sno'
covered with diamonds. The Font
wrea.hed in green, and surmounted with
pyramid of green, terminating in golde
cross. Over the choir is a thorp, and owe
the opposite door, a circle within
q triangle, all of evergreen
We have only noted the more prominen
features of these decorations. Of the genera
effect we attempt no discrip,ion-as "
ADMIRE we cannot bu. think how greatly tn
church will be improved, when in frescoe
the pencil and brush of the artist shall ador
the walls, and make still more attractive
building admirably calculated to receiv
such ornamentation.

SEVERELY GAINED Among the many
happy incidents of Christmas none perhaps
were more pleasing than the one that trans
pred at the depot of the Chicago, R. l. & P.
r. r., on Saturday evening, in which the
agent, our fellow citizen, W. B. Grennell,
Esq, was made to take the title role as well
as take very handsome caning-gold
headed and ebony. AS he was about clos
ing the ticket office Mr.. ". II. WEIGH, who
assists in selling tickets, together with the
employees of this station cornered him, and
Mr.. WEIGH then stepped forward and in q
very neat little speech made the presenta
ton. So we'll had the boys managed the
affair, that the surprise was complete and of
course the response was short. but never
theless heartfelt and genuine. However
they finally closed the scene by adjourning
to the "Young America" for oysters, where
an hour was spent most pleasantly. The
cane is handsome one, beautifully engrsv-
ed, and ought to make Mr.. Grennell just q
little proud, especially coming as a testimoui-
81 of friendship and esteem from those with
whom he is associated every day. 1t served
him right and we are glad of it.
