ibie on every hand, the Christmas trees
beng made to bloom and blossom at
paternal hands, with toys and spang les

morning eyes of the little folks. 1t is the
time when Santa Claus makes his mys-

superstition has come not to be very
readily believed by the young folks
they having become pr&ctible that
they do not understand how he can get

INTERESTING EXERCISES.-The wee
girls and boys comprising the select
school Of Mrs NJ. Griffith, held their
Christmas exercises last night In the
Episcopal Mission Chapel, on the Island
The friends and parents of the little
folks were present in force and were in
terestingly and amusingly entertained
by the courageous efforts of the youthful
scholars to execute their respective parts,
which at times would seem almost to
overwhem them in this, their initiatory
performance. They succeeded finely how
ever, in spite of their bashfulness, and
their instructress deserves praise and
encouragement for the attention and
care bestowed on her pupils.
