CuR1sr.As-IREE AT THE GRACE-STBEET
BAPTIST CuURcH.-This church was crowded
at half-past O'Clock yesterday afternoon 10
witness the joy of the little ones at the re-
ception of presents from the " "lniant-class
CbristmaS-tree."
The tree was very beautiful one, ar
ranged with revolving centre-piece, on
which were the wax tapers, and was loaded
with tasteful and appropriate presents Tor
each one Of the 1I0 members OF the INFANT
class.
After sweet song by the little folks, led
by their accomplished teacher, Miss Julia
King, Rev. j. William Jones led in prayer,
and Colonel I. j. Evans, who seemed to be
chief spokesman and manager, made some
very appropriate remarks, in which he stated
that this class, recently taught by Mrs. Jeter,
and since her absence In Europe by Miss
King. has had during the year an average
attendance of lao, while the whole school
numbers over 900.
Colonel Evans said that he considered
the Virginia Sunday schools the best in the
world, the Richmond schools the best in
Virginia, the Grace-Street school the best III
Richmond, and the infant class the best one
in the Grace-Street school.
He called out Rev. J. William Jones, gen.
eral superintendent OF the virginia Baptist
Sunday-School Board, who said that be was
too cise to speak, as he knew the little folks
did not come there to hear speeches, but 10

SIaMEsE GAMBLISG-LIFE AND LIBERTY At
STAKE-INGENlous But DIsHoEEsT-BETTlNd
ONES FRIESD.-Gamblng is carried on to a
fearful extent in the Kingdom Of Siam, and
the royal excheQuer derives considerable
profit from the licensed gambling-house>
established In every part of the country. One
of the fayorite games consists in guessing the
number of coins showed at haphazard under
an inverted cup; the teetotum is also In
vogue; and lastly, there are lotteries, which
are drawn daily. AL this kind of business
is in the hands Of cunning Chinese, partlcu-
larly expert in correcting the caprices OF
chance. When the gambler has lost his all,
suicide never occurs to him, as in Europe
but he will steal, or, rs last resource, sell
hmSefas n slave to some mandarin willing
to pay lis debts and clothe and feed him IN
return for some insignificant service. But,
on The other hand, Il man who has once sold
himself can never hope to regain bis liberty,
for he cannot earn a farthing in any way. Ii
lie dislikcs bis master he may try to find
another disposed to pay the old one the
anne At Of bis debt; but this happens
very seldom, since the purchaser is gen.
erally in good circumstances. More
over, before u man gives himself away
in this MANNER he tries his luck
to the last. so long as he possesses 4 rag on
his back. Our author relates the following
characteristic anecdote: An Anuamite, OF
Saigon, whom we will call a, happening to
meet an old friend of his, B, at Pnon PENN,
Is persuaded by him to visit gambling
house. They 60 III and try their luck. 4
soon wins 4 respectable SUN, while Is loses
all he has about him. To retrieve his for.
time he borrows AS purse, but SOON loses its
contents. "Wen," says \, "tis all over
now; let us be off," await Bit" replies
the other; "Fll try another stake; the crou.
pier knows me, and will give me credit
So he enters upon Il palarer with that iuDc'
tionary, who ut once writes few words
upon bit of paper, which B signs. He then
plays, but loses, and quits the place with his
friend. "What was your agreement with
the croupier!" asks A. YOU'LL know to-
morrow" replies B, dryly. Aud, indeed, on
the followi"" morning two stout Chinese
call at AS h use, bind him hand and foot
and clrry him of, in spite of his cries and eff
forts to regain liberty. His good friend B
had sold him to the croupier, and it was only
few months later he could regain his ILL.,
erty through the influence of French resi-.
dent at Saignon.

FESTIVAL OF ST. JOHN THE EvANGELIsT.-
The anniversary of this rcd-!etter day in the
Masonic calendar recurred yesterday, and
was duly observed by Loge FranGaise, No.
shipful Master j. Il. Capers presided, and
many prominent Masons were in attendance.
The most interesting feature of the cclebrl-
ton was the reading of an interesting his
tory of Loge FrancaiSe. prepared for the
occasion by Past Master Snodgrass. 1t will
probably be printed, and will constitute q
valuable chapter in the Masonic history of
Virginia. At late hour the Lodge was
called from labor TO refreshment, and in the
discussion Of refreshments the festival was
brought to close.

RIVER NEvs.-The ice in the river is still
thick enough to prevent the arrival or depar-
ture of vessels. Fortunately, there were
comparatively few vessels in port awaiting
carg0es at the time of the freeze. There are,
however, several lying below Drewry's
Bluff bound up, awaiting a sufficient break
in the ice to enable them to reach this city.
Among them is'the schooner Ashland, with
Il load of coal for the City Gas Works.
Many vessels heretofore lying in the river
at City Point have been compelled to haul
alongside of the wharves to be out OF the way
Of the drifting ice.
The New York steamer was compelled,
also, to haul up at that point and discharge
her cargo, which will be sent to this city by
rail,
