CHRISTMAS GIFTs.--Mr. J. f. BoozeE the
children's friend made his 18th annual
Christmas offering to the children of this
city, ON Christmas morning. The children
did not congregate in as large crowds as for
merly, but they called without intermission
until Mr.. B. had given out 1925 bags con-
tanning each, different kinds of cakes, rails
ms, peanuts candy and two new pennies
the packages in all making a large one-horse
wagon-load. Many children who otherwise
would have gone without presents were made
happy by the generosity of Mr.. B. Itwould
make almost any one wild to have family
of fifteen hundred to provide with Christmas
presents, but q Uncle Finney,'' as the children
call him, seems to find it an easy task and de-
lights in it.
Mr.. Boozer commenced to give presents to
the children of the place in 1853 he continu-
ed each year until 1859, when he ceased until
1858, at which time he resumed the custom,
and has continued every year up to the pres
ent. The number receiving presents each
year is MS follows I: In 1853, 1854, and 1865
the number was not taken 1856, 243; 1851
$40; 1853, SEQ 1859, col 1868, 9s7 1862
1886; 1870, 1874; 1871, 1865 1879, 1858
1873, 1463; 1874, 1895.
Mr.. Boozer was not allowed, however, to do
all the giving. lie received number of gifts
of cakes, &c during the day, and in addition,
a beautiful cane. Engraved on it are the
words "a present from his Hardware
friends in Phia.," and on a gold plate his
name is neatly placed. Mr.. Boozer also re-
ceived solid-silver napkin ring.
Mr.. VIM II. Gandey presented each Of his
employees in the Weeden Paper Mill with

them present Of handsome morning coat
and gold sleeve buttons. Mr.. G. Lake, book
Keeper in the mill, also received an acceptable
present from the employees.

Rock SENSATION. Mr.. Commodore Abbott
residing near the Rock NJ. Il. Church, a short
time ago was the happy posscssor Of fine
pup, which promised to become an expert in
many things Of which the canine family are
capable, 50 much SO that the Commodore
thought best to tie him while he the (Commo-
dore) was absent. This SO discouraged the
poor pup especially on account of the Commo-
dores numerous calls abroad, that he actually
committed suicide by hanging. 1t appears
that the Commodore tied him in the hay NOV,
and, as be supposed, out Of harms way, where
even the ugly sheep could not get at him, but
the pup managed to open the window and
jump out, and it is supposed that he died
without struggle as none of the little stones
about there were disturbed in the least. No
blame rests upon the Commodore.

CHRIs's ADVENTURES WITH CHRISTMAS
TREES. Dory S. alias Chris,
residing in the lower end Of our Township,
thought he discovered vacancy in the Christ
mas tree market of Philadelphia, and inn
medately interviewed Mr.. Geo. Mathews, who
has enough small cedars to supply the whole
world, Especially for all Chris. cares, who
very generously gave him load to commence
business on.
Now Chris. being Of u very magnanimous
disposition and not caring to venture on the
road alone with from two to five hundred dol
lars in pocket, took in partner and COM
menced business, and as tree after tree was
cut down, Chris musical voice might have
been heard practicing as q salesman. Here
we are just in from Mount Mathews with our
evergreenstrecs to adon your parlors, your
house tops aud stove pipes. This lisa nice one
| will sell you for two dollars and half hardly
the cost of importation. Prices in the woods
ranged from five cents to five dollars aud the
selling would have done credit to old Commo-
dore himself. Two hundred and twenty five
dollars, worth were placed in the wagon and
our heroes set out for the great Quaker City,
whore they arrived early in the morning, Dec.
22nd
But Che market that day, we are sorry to
say, was not very good for trees, they carted
them around till the sun went down and froze
their toes clear mp to their knees. Dec. 3d.
asking prices came down as they logged
around town with their load of evergreen
trees, but the result was the same, though
none were to blame and so the sun again went
down. Dec. Gath. The truth for to tell the
trees would not sell, and Chris becoming des-
perate gave /. tremendous yell, which drew
the boys all around, and after the fight drove
off with all his might and broke the wagon
down. Now in this bad plight poor Chris.
found himself after the fight with one wheel
refusing to go around, SO he took some gin
and had a spoke put in determined, to leave
the town, then in, vacant lot not far from
the spot where William Penn formerly stood a
treaty was made and the trees laid in the
shade, and our freeman struck for New
Jersey.
