been furnished in rare good taste, with
rich articles of furniture. The new hall
was formally dedicated on Tuesday, it
being the festival of st. John the Evapge-
list. At one o'clock procession was
formed composed of nearly two hundred
Masons, led by the Wales Cornet Band,
and marched to the Baptist church, where

Of Masonry" was delivered by Henry

cises the procession was reformed, return

discs took place. Henry Clark, John T..

SABBATH SCHOOL CONCERT AT
CAsTLEToN.-Last Sunday evening the
writer, one of a large saudience convened
at the NJ E. Church, in this village, to
witness the concert exercises of the Sun
day school. The exercises in all respects
were worthy the occasion and school, and
reflected great credit upon its pastor and
superintendent, Rev. ]. Phillips. After
the opening exercises the monthly mis-
sionary collections were called for, each
class responding, by laying upon the
table its monthly gatherings, the footings
as announced by Pastor, amounting to
$1S.45, from ten classes. The same school
learn, though comparatively small, laid
upon the table during the first year of
Mr.. Phillips pastorate the snug sum of
$3.50 as its missionary offering. God
bless them in their noble work. After the
collections followed speaking and recita-
tions by the children, interspersed with
singing by the school and choir, all of
which was exceedingly interesting NJ was
evidenced by the quiet and attention of
the audience for nearly two hours.
Among the exercises which excelled we
would mention a recitation of Mrs jack
mans class of seven bovs, and Mrs. Phil
lips class of young ladies. Also poem
"Ring out Wild Bells" reoited by Miss
Lettie Chagel, and Christmas poem by
Miss Della Gates. The singing on the
occasion was really very fine. By the
way, the choir of this church under its
present efficient leader, Mr.. FL. Streeter,
stands first among the choirs of this viii

DAEBY.-The Christmas Tree Festival,
Sabbath School at the Borough, and which
has been in contemplation for several
weeks past, came off in the church on
Christmas eve, and was decidedly sue
cessful affair. The church was crowded
to it's utmost capacity, and the Sabbath
School was fully represented.
Two large Christmas trees were pre-
pared and filled with presents of every
description, many OF which were very
valuable. The trees, stage and surround
ings were decorated in a very beautiful,
tasteful and appropriate manner, eliciting
praise from all present, and rejecting
much credit upon the committee in whose
charge it was placed. A large number of
tapers of various colors were placed in
and around the trees, the light of which
made very beautiful appearance.
A large part of the exhibition which
the school was intending to give in con-
neotion with the Christmas tree was dis
pensed with, in consequence OF their being
so much other business to attend to. The
singing and speaking by the children was
performed in a creditable manner.
At the opening of the exercises an appro'
pirate piece of music was sung, in which
the whole school joined, after which the
Lords Prayer was repeated in concert.
Then the lst Psalm was repeated by Miss
Hannah Colvin, and very beautiful little
piece YVES spoken by Miss Emma Potter,
and another by Miss Ina Cook. Another
merry piece of music was then sung by
the school, which was pronounced excel
lent by all. Quotations from the Scrip
lures then followed, in which most OF the
school engaged. The Beatitudes were
also repeated by Miss Hattie Allen. The
exercises of the school were then closed
by singing the christmas Tree Song"
which was performed with good effect.
Next came the distribution of the pres
ents, which all were SO anxious to see per-
formed, especially the little ones, as were
doubtless many of the larger ones. 1t
was to be regretted that Santa Claus was
not there in person, as it was very evident
from the appearance Of the trees that he
had been that way; but by his not being
there in person, it was supposed that he
was obliged to be elsewhere, as he had 80
many Christmas trees and so many chill
dren to see to. None, however, were for.
gotten, even the smallest, as all the mem.
bers of the school, young and old, and
many who wers not members, received
presents, of which there was large vari-
ETY., ranging in value from five cents up
to sixty-five dollars. 1t would be impos.
sible to give anything like a fair showing
or description of the splendor and mag
nifoence of the trees, or to enumerate the
different presents, both useful and orna-

mental. consisting of toys of all kinds for
the!children, whistles, dolls, horses, etc;
vases of various styles and patterns,
made of silver, china, parian marble and
glass, gold pencils and gold rings; scarfs
and shawls; several dress patterns; sew
eral sets of furs photograph albums sew.
eral writing desks, velvet lined: glass
ware, silver BILE casters, silver napkin
rings, ETC., etc.
Among the more valuable articles we
notice fine set of furs, presented to Mrs.
Ellis Willard, silver butter knife to the
same lady; sewing machine to Miss
Flora Emerson; very nice scarf to MIR.
n. P. Morgan, and another to Mr.. Ellis
Willard, and fine silver watch to Clar-
ence Kelly. There was between seven
and eight hundred dollars worth of pres
ents distributed, of which amount Mr..
Ellis Willard and family received $135
William Pierce and family $25; Mrs.
Bancroft and family $25; Il. W. Lincoln
and family $50; NJ. n. Cook and family
$40; A. S. Baker and family $15; H. B.
Kelly and family $25; A. T. Calvin and
family $50; Fl. Dillingham; and family
$15; Alura Colvin $50; DR.. E. o. Whip
pie and family SIS. We will not forget
to add that the worthy pastor, Mr.. East
man, was the recipient of fine silver
watch, valued at about $40; and splen-
did clock and other presents to Mrs.
Eastman, all amounting to nearly $75.
This festival was far ahead of anything
of the kind ever held here, and will doubt
less equal any Of the kind for years to
come. 1t was an event worthy to be re-
membered, and doubtless will be, by all
who were present, especially the younger
ones. 1t reflects great credit upon the
town, the church and those connected
with the Sabbath school. Probably there
are few towns of the size and wealth of
this which will have Christmas Tree on
a larger scale. They were all actual
gifts, there being nothing done for show
or pretension. 1t is seldom we have seen
meeting or gathering of the kind where
more good cheer and kindly feelings were
manifested, and there were many hearts
made happy on that eve, as it was indeed
for all meery Christmas Eve.
In conclusion Rev. Mr.. Eastman, in a
few very appropriate remarks, acknow-
lodged the valuable presents which he
and his good lady had received. and
rendering to his many friends his warmest
and heartfelt thanks. 1t was the spirit
that prompted the gifts, as well as the
gifts themselves, that made him grateful,
for it indicated the respect and esteem in
which he is held, and the high appreoia-
ton of his services. The gifts were
worthily bestowed, as Mr.. Eastman has
rendered valuable services in building up
the church and Sabbath school
