Three large trees were profuseiy loaded

The Christmas festival at this place
drew ont n crowded house, and was n
pleasant affair. The tree was 6ountiiully
loaded, there being 500 gifts taken from
its branches. The declaiming by the
school children WAS excellent, giving
evidence that their teacher, Mr.. Silas III.

Bethel Items.

The Methodist Society had their
Christmas Festival on Monday evening.
Dec. 9th, mt Pattec's Hall. The hallwas
filled at All early hour, with people, head
ell by the society, attracted hther by the
Christmas tree which had been previously
well laden with beautiful presents. The
evenings entertainment consisted OF dec
lamations, dialogues, and choice singing.
The exercises commenced with singing
by the scholars. under the training Of
Mrs. c. s. Twitchell, who also presided
at The organ. Prayer by Rev. b. Foster.
An opening piece by Ada Twitchel, was
highly creditable, and shows what a good
mothers training will do. Excellent
music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. T.
c. Carter, and Miss Ada Foster. A
single piece by Master Holt, brought out
rounds of applause. must say it was
highly pleasing to see those little children
come out upon the stage with unblushing
countenances and declaim with such tone
of voice, that all could be heard. Apiece
entitled Mind your own Business" by
Angie Swan. was well spoken. Those
who took part in the exhibition,
especially the small children. acquitted
themselves with marked ability. The
exhibition was interesting and instructive,
under the direction of Mr.. N. c. Foster,
the superintendent OF the school. Alter
the exercises by the children, DR.. \. /.
True being present, was called upon. lie
addressed the children in a very APP
propriate manner. The DR.. always seems

mind how TO shoot. Interesting remarks
were made by Rev. Mr.. Dutton and NJ.
c. Carter, Esq, followed by an eloquent
address by Enoch Foster Jr., Esq. The
children. who are always flowers in LIES
pathway, were earnest for the gathering
of presents from the Christmas tree, which
was abundant, and many of them were
very valuable as we'll as useful, and
although the distribution was attended
with some confusion, we think al got
those that were intended tor them. Much
credit is due to the ladies for the interest
they have taken in furnishing such enter
tainments.
We are happy to say to the people OF
Bethel, that Rev Samuel Paine Is to
