Mysterious Disappearance,

A circumstance of recent occurrence at
Franklin, Tenn, has thrown the family of
our fellow-citizen, Thomas j. MOulton, of
the firm of Moulton & Reed, into the deep
est grief and most agonizing apprehension.
The family of Mr.. Moulton reside at Frank
lin, and last Friday morning Thomas, a
son of Mr.. MoulGon, about 16 years of age,
took his gun for the purpose, as stated by
himself, of going few miles into the
country to hunt. Thomas did not retur m as
expected that night, but the family think
ing he had probably gone to the house of a
relative few miles distant, were not
rendered uneasy until the next day when
they received intelligence that he had not been
at the house referred to. Inquiry and
search were then commenced, and have
since been actively kept up, without the
least intimation, up to late hour yester-
day, of the probable fate or present where
abouts of the missing boy. For three days
past parties of men and boys have been
making most diligent and industrious in
quiry, but without gaining the least infor-
nation as to the object of their search.
The circumstances of his disappearance
make room for the painful apprehension
that Thomas has been killed by the accidental
discharge Of his gun, or some accident, or
that he may have been murdered. We
earnestly indulge the hope, however, that
either of these surmises will prove incorrect,
and that the mysterious disappearance of
young Thomas Moulton may be capable of
some solution less distressing to his devoted
parents and other relatives and friends.

Christmas at Holy trinity Church.


A happy crowd OF Sabbath-school chill
dren with their parents and teachers, cele-
brated the Christmas festival in Holy TrIn-
ity Church on Monday evening. The
handsome edifice was tastefully decorated
with evergreens. The windows were en-
closed in frames ofholly, and heavy festoons
of eveTgreens draped gracefully from the
ceiling to the walls over the altar, forming
beautiful archway. Under this canopy Of
green stood the centre of attraction, tall
Christmas tree, bending under its load of
gifts for the little ones. Close be-
hind it a wooden cross, covered with
lighted tapers, threw soft mO0n-like
light over the tree and altar, and to
the delighted eyes of the children,
transformed it into bower of fairy land.
The opening exercises were brief and APP
propriate, consisting principally of Christ
mas carols sung by well trained choir Of
Sabbath school children. The gifts were
distributed by the pastor of the church,
Rev. Mr.. Royce, and the Superintendent of
the Sabbath school, Mr.. Chas. Sheppard,
assisted by some of the teachers. In lit
tie more than half an hour the tree was
stripped of its Christmas fruit, and nothing
but the bare branches remained. Under
the management of the superintendent the
entertainment was a most enjoyable one
not only to the children, but to everyone
who had the good fortune to attend it.

TAKING THE VEIL.-The freshest ex-
element in the fashionable world of New
York is the taking of the veil of "pro-
fessed nun " by Miss E, White, daughter
of the late Judge W. White, of the Supe-
rior Court of New York. The ceremony
took place on Tuesday at the convent In
Seventeenth street, neer Fifth a~enue,
which was richly decorated in honor OF
the event, and thronged by an assemblage
Of the elite of New York society. The
music, the professions of nuns and priests,
the hundreds of extra candles illuminating
the altar, contributed to make up al i'm
posing ceremony.
The young lady who has thus given her
life TO the service of the Roman Catholic
Church, renOunces a social position among
the very highest of the metropolis, assured
not only by wealth and family tradition,
but also by intellectual power and thor
ough culture.

calling Guns Ordered BIZ England.

IN order from tho British War Depart
ment for sixty batteries OF mitrailleuses, or
Calling guns, has been sent to the Colt
Patent FIREARMS Company, of this city,
and the work will at once proceed. The
order is for nearly four hundred of these
compound and very destructive weapons,
tie French name for which, mitrailleur,
male or mitrailleuse, female means an
English hail-stormer. So it will, for awhile,
make work lively again at the pistol facto-
". Each of these guns has bore of 0.42
inch, and weighs 8 cwt., 3 qrs., II lbs,
the weight Of the gun carriage being
cwt., Qrs., Z lbs. The lead bullets weigh
$50 grains, and the charge of powder so
grains Each battery will have hitting,
wounding and killing power among bro
ken infantry, on uneven ground, at ranges
from zoo to 600 yards, of 900 minute;
but in close columns of Infantry, bat
terry would shoot 200 men minute.
Within ordinary rife range, or up to ] 400
wards, the small Calling was found more
effective than field guns; but with longer
ranges the field guns had the best of 1T.
The new gun possesses maximum OF de
etructive power, with minimum of weight
and size, is easy to maneuver, and can be
fred with accuracy of aim, without recoil,
thousands of times. As they arrive in
England they will be brought to Wool
witch, and will form new and special
branch of the Royal Artillery, these bat
teries being distinct from those of the field
guns.-HdrtfOrd Times, Dec. q.
