Christmas at Arlington.

The children's festival and tree were
held on Christmas eve, in st. James
church, Arlington, where large CON
gregation assembled. After a short ser
vice arranged on programmes neatly
printed by Tuttle & Co, of Rutland, }
consisting of prayers, psalter, lesson,
catechising, Sunday school report, and
carols, some 275 presents, (mostly from
Dewey's church bookstore, Rochester,,
costing over one hundred dollars, were
distributed from a large spruce tree
standing in front of the chancel, to 73
children of the school, besides 10 others
not yet members, making 143 in all. The
rector, Sunday school teachers, organist,
and others, received gifts; also, from her
pupils, the principal of the parish school.
On Christmas day, business generally
was fifty suspended, and a good number
attended church, which was very hand
somely decorated with wreaths, festoons,
notices, etc The chancel had ever
green arches; the altar, lecturn, and
desks were in white Red berries were
interspersed among the evergreen. The
symbol of the Dove, the emblem of the
Holy Ghost, and the messenger of peace
and love, rested upon the crowned font.
The gift of a beautiful cross adorned the
altar, and the Star in the East was not
forgotten. The Holy Communion was
celebrated, and the offertory given to do
mestic missions. Carols opened and
closed the service. The music for both
occasions was conducted by MIR. Clarence
c. Hard, the organIst, to whom, as well
as to Mrs Hard, much credit is due.
Under his charge the choir is rapidly
improving. He is experienced as aleader,
and excels in training the voice, and
giving true musical expression to the
words and sentiments employed. Mr..
Hard was for years organist of st.
Timothy's church, New York city,
where he had ample opportunity to cul-
tivate and develop his musical genius.
He is quite apt in teaching this fine art,
and cannot but impart to his classes some
at least of the enthusiasm that belongs
to one who is its ardent disciple, and also
a high toned and genial gentleman.

The TRATNs.-The severe cold wealth
er and driving snow storms, yesterday,
had their natural and necessary effect in
delaying trains all over the country
The Vermont railroads, of course, suf-
fered with the rest. The Harlem Ex.
tension mail train was two ohours late OF.
of Chatham, having waited there for the
arrival of the train from New York,
but ascertaining that the trains over that
road were delayed six to eight hours,
started without further delay for Rut-
land, but at the present writing, (mid-
night) has not arrived.
Over the Rutland railroad north, the
Montreal express arrived here forty min
utes late. The evening train was over
two hours late, and the night express
train is reported late. A train was made
up here for the north and Montreal, and
dispatched half an hour later than the
regular running time of the up Montreal
express.
Over the same road, east, the Boston
mail train arrived two hours behind time,
while the evening train was taken off,
or, rather merged with the night express,
which is also reported late, but how
much behind time we are unable at the
present time to ascertain the engines
of both trains are attached and they are
endeavoring to force their way through.
Over the Rutland and Washington
road, due here at about five p. m, is re-
ported over six hours late, and have al
ready used up that time and still are not
here.
The evening train over the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga railroad, the train due here
at nine o'clock, is not yet (midnighD
in, although three hours past due.
The night express trains to and from
Troy were suspended.

AN AGREEABLE SURPRIsE.-As Mr.
and Mrs. Williams, of Castleton Semi
mary, Castleton, were engaged in their
respective duties ON Monday evening,
they were waited on by lady and gen
tleman who desired theircompany. They
were escorted to a room in the Normal
school building. As the door opened no
one was visible, but in the centre of the
room was table literally laden with all
the evidences of the greatest culinary art
and skill Immediately the opposite
door opened and long procession began
to enter, singing "Merry Christmas.
When all had entered, Miss Ella Bromley
stepped to one end of the table and adj
dressed Mr. and Mrs Williams, repeat
ing the welcome, and in well chosen and
appropriate words expressed the regard
of the teachers and pupils. Pointing to
a massive ice pitcher and two splendid
gold lined silver goblets, plainly limited
that they were intended to express that
regard, requesting their acceptance, with
the kind wishes of teachers and pupils
of the seminary. Mr.. Williams was
taken completely by surprise, but found
words to return the sincere thanks of
himself and Mrs. Williams. The next
business was promptly entered upon and
successfully performed. The eatables
were eaten and the drinkables were
drank, and all went merry as a marriage
bell. The rest of the evening was de-
voted to those games that the young
know so well and how to enjoy. Such
occasions show the happy state of feel
ing existing up there at the old Seminary
and betoken the interest Of teachers and
pupils

Mr.. Wood and Franklin Post each sub
scribed $500 in cash toward the building.
When completed it will cost between
So, 900 and $4,000. The new school
house, just completed at a cost of S15,-

Mr.. Post purchased two years since
about 100 acres at Linden near the rail
road station, and laying on each side Of

of cars pass every twenty-four hours.
He has had from ten to twenty men and
teams at work on his property the last

PINoHBAoK.- will be remembered
that at one time during the late cam

of New Orleans, had connected himself
with the Liberals, under persuasions ap-
olied BY Governor Warmoth. The ae-
nuisition was deemed very important
and the influence and ability of Pinch
back were proclaimed in glowing num-
bers by the Democratic and Liberal
press. We deprecated the loss, but did
not underrate the man. 1t turned out
toon that the annunciation had been pre-
mature; that the Lieutenant Governor
was true to his principles and his race.
He has come to he acting Governor be-
ause Of the impeachment of Warmoth.

drunken, ignorant, purchaseable nigger,
and that the outrage Of even bis tempor-

THE WEATHER. cold of Tuesday
night and Wednesday was unprecedent-
ed in this part of Vermont, The ther-
mometer at ten o'clock on Tuesday even
ing indicated sixteen degrees below zero,
and from that time until after sunrise,
or rather after the time for the sun to
rise, its course was down, dorm, until it
reached twenty eight and thirty degrees.
In some parts of the town, it did not
stop even here, but the mercury disap-
peared in the bulb. The earth cracked
with the intense cold, sounding at times
In the night like the rumble of distant
thunder, and, at other times, like the
quick, sharp crack of rife. The freez-
ing of water in the pipes, was an event
at almost every house, and was more
certain in its visitations than even those
of old Santa Claus, and, as a necessary
consequence, our plumbers were in con-
stant employment during the day and
yesterday Pipes which, from their
first being placed-from ten to twenty
years-have never felt the effects of the
cold, were compelled to succumb at last,
and still refuse, enchained with frost
and ice, to give their wonted supply of
water. About noon, yesterday, the
piercing cold was supplemented by a
fierce wind and severe snow storm, max
ing locomotion for man and beast well
nigh impossible from sheer discomfort.
Yet while men were huddling around the
fires, which were almost vainly strug-

The New ROUTE TO New YoRK.-The
new railroad route from Rutland to
New York, of which we have, from
time to time, spoken, seems now to bid
fair Of realization in the near future.
The roads south of the Harlem Exten-
sion and Lebenon Springs railroad are
already up and dong. Pursuant to a
call the stockholders of the Dutchess &
Columbia railroad, recently, assembled
at Millbrook to vote on the proposed
consolidation of the road, with other
branches under the name of New York,
Boston & Montreal railroad. The total
amount of stock is 5000 shares or
S1,500,000. A two-thirds vote was
necessary, and %, 482 shares were
voted on and every vote was in favor of
the proposed movement. Some of the
connecting roads are not constructed as
yet, but from statement made by Geo.
Brown, the funds can be procured in
Europe, and the work will soon COM
mence. The Dutchess and Columbia
railroad has now ceased to exist, and
with a new board of Directors and Mr..
Brown as President, the New York,
Boston & Montreal railroad will pro-
badly soon begin to operate. A meet
ing of the stockholders of the Pine
Plains 6 Albany railroad and the Har-
lem Extension railroad was held in New
York city on Monday, of last week, at
which union of those two roads, form
ing the northern section of the through
line mentioned, was affected, the two

sent for technical reasons. A meeting
