Christmas was appropriately celebrated on
Monday evening by the Ladies of the Sabbath
School and others connected with the Metho-
dist Episcopal Congregation, in Christmas
festival at their church. The exercises con-
sisted of singing by the Choir, who gave us
most excellent music, singing some OF the
old tunes, anthems, &c., in way that carried
some of the fathers back fifty years, when
they used to join in the same tunes. The
members OF the Sunday School furnished
some excellent speaking in which the large
audience (for the house was crowded. was
greatly interested. The coloquy on heaven,
by twelve young Ladies was especially worthy
of note. The piece, for beauty of thought,
expression and arrangement is unsurpassed,
and it was most admirably rendered Such
excellent speaking one rarely listens to.
Two large trees heavily laden with rich and
costly fruit, occupied positions on either side
of the pulpit and greatly attracted the atten-
ton of the children, young and old. The
gifts were all very pretty and valuable, some
peculiarly appropriate, and could be counted
heart was made glad by the remembrance
of friends upon that occasion. The Pastor,
Rev. MIR. Randall, and his family..were abund-
antly and richly remembered by his friends.
They were literally loaded with gifts.
The occasion was one ofprofit and interestto
all. Among the good things was the present,
by the Ladies of a very beautiful and valuable
stuffed chair, for the use of the Parsonage.
This gift was appropriately acknowledged by
the Pastor, who, in behalf OF the Parsonage
and the Ministers, who in future might occu-
py the Parsonage, thanked the Ladies for
their kind regards, for the comfort OF their
misister. Such gatherings are very salutary,
creating as they do, an increased interest in
the cause of the Sabbath School, and tending
to perpetuate harmony and good feeling in
the community. May they frequently occur.

Sausage Making.

WE would respectfully inform the citizens of
w Augusta and vicinity, that are manufac-
turing Sausages of pure material, by newly pa
tented machine using ten knives, and propelled by
steam; enabling us to make them at A much cheap
er rate than by the old process.
By this machine, the meat and seasoning are
thoroughly mixed, giving an even flavor through
ont. We would also say, that bread and crackers
form no part of the ingredients of sausage nor
have we any recipe for making that sort of stuff ;
Notwithstanding some dealers have reported to the
contrary.
We think such persons would do better to attend
to their own business, than to NEEDLE with the af
fairs of their neghbors, of which they know moth
ing.
We invite all persons interested to visit our
sausage ROOM examine all the material used, and
witness the modps operaadi OF the whole thing
when we are in full operation. dec3l-t7t
