SHARoN.-'lhe festival in the Congregational
church on Christmas Eve, although designed more
particularly for the children called out an unustl-
ally large audience and proved very enjoyable
affair to all. The mimic plays, dialogues, select
readings, music, etc, were all excellent in their
way and very creditable to their respective pei
formers One particularly interesting feature Of
the evening was the appearance on the stage OF
Mrs H. C, Narnuni, with her Sunday-school class
of twenty -four young girls, all dressed in white
and who acted a pleasing but pathetic little piece
entitled " Faith Hope and Charity" which
brought the tears to not few eyes. While th,
music was all good, the duet by Mrs. G D. Smith
and Mrs. DIR. sherwin was exceptionally SO, we
thought, And last but not least, two large, we'll
filled trees were quickly stripped of their presents
and all went home with happy hearts and smil-
ing faces calling down renewed blessings on the
generous soul of odd Santa Claus

ORANGE Christmas Eve passed off pleasantly
The trees were handsomely decorated. Rev Mr.
lIncks, of Montpelier, made few appropriate re-
marks His words were few but well chosen and
eloquent, Miss Hattie Lord sang the Shepherd
Nativity Hymn" in her clear, sweet, soprano
voice which, once heard will long be remeu
bered The Rotations were good but when Santa
Claus made his appearance shout arose-nol
only from the children, but from nearly all pres
ent,. Diphtheria is surely coming into oui
midst. A son of Hardy johnson died on Monda,
of this terrible disease, his mother being sick a
present with the same malady.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CHANGE.-At n meeting
Of the directors of the Central Vermont Railroad
Company held in Boston last week, MIR. George
W, Bentley, AT present superintendent Of the'New
London road, was appointed general manager OF
the former. lie relieves Mr. l., Mills, the pres
ant superintendent of traffic, who will probably
return to Boston to look after the interests of the
road there. Mr. Bentley is reported To be one OF
he best railroad men in the country lie will
elieve Governor Smith Of some Of the duties with
which he has been burdened, and will work in
harmony with Mr. Hobart, the general supern
-endent, which was not the case with Mr. Mills
indeed the parties with whom Mr.. Mills has eye
worked without difficulty might probably be mum
bered by the fingers on one hand. We congat
llate the road and the public on so desirable
| change.
