again, under the old charter. he was mem
ber Of the Town Trustees and its presiding
officer. In every relation OF life he fulfilled
his calling, and was an honest, generous,
whoIe-souled gentleman. No death that nas
occurred in many years was received Win
more unusual feelings Of sorrow.
a called meeting Of Manchester Lodge, OF
which the deceased was past Worship1ul
master. was held Wednesday night, when
suitable action was taken IN reference 10 the
death Of their lamented comrade. Ine
funeral will take place under Masonic au.

Christmas-Ho,o 1. Was Obserued.-
Christmas-day, rs usual, was ushered in
with innumerable guns, the firing OF crack
ers, and the blowing OF horns. It's pleasant
to say that the usual amount OF dissipation
on the streets was not visible. The day, as
far as heard from, passed off pleasantly,
quietly, and without disorder.
At IL O'Clock A. NJ. services were held at
the Meade. Memorial church.. Rev. Mr..
Stringiellow preached an appropriate dis
course from Luke H., 7. The decorations
at this church were only generally noticed
Wednesday. Around the walls were beau-
tifui festoons Of cedar and holly. Over the
chancel, in beautiful letters, were worked
the words: "Unto you this day Saviour
is born" Beneath this was harp, sur
mounted by the words: !" Gloria in E1-
celsiS." The music was very sweet, and
after the sermon the sacrament of the
Lords Supper was partaken Of.
In the afternoon, at Lyceum Hall, the
Christmas anniversary of the Christian Sab
bath school-Mr. William Farrar superin-
tendcnt-took place. The children recited
appropriate pieces, and each and all were
the recipients OF Christmas-gifts.
AT night there were many merrv-makings,
notably that at Councilman Howle's, at
which were represented the beauty Of Rich
mond, Chesterfield, and this city. Warner
Allen furnished the music, and the night
was one Of the most delightful ever passed
in the city.
Last night there were other parties, and,
on the whole, the season has passed off as
pleasantly rs any for long time. The ac-
cidents were few, the police had but little
extra duty to perform, and Manchester may
congratulate herself that the observance OF
Christmas has come to be almost as quiet and
sedate as that of the Sabbath.
Yesterday work was resumed at some OF
the mills. To-day the workshops commence
work, but, generally speaking. operations
will not be fully resumed until Monday,
December 30th. The public schools will
not commence until January I'd.
