THE CHRIS TMAS TREE.

Trinity Church chapel was crowded New Years Eve with a happy expectant throng of children, to receive their pres ents, which were very fine. Rev. Mc. Haskins called out the names of each scholar receiving gift, while gentlemen handed them to the children. Several ladies and gentlemen, besides the vener- able Dr. Marble, were presented with ar ticlcs of value. Smith Mclean was pres ent, and received a pair of fur lined mitts, and returned his thanks in such @ pleasing manner that no one doubted Smiths heartfelt gratitude. One of the touching pictures of the evening was the tree laden with gifts, designed to be sent to the children of the Sunday School in Grenada, Miss. This tribute of christian affection will gladden. many sorrowful heart, and bring blessings upon those who thus show their sympathy for an afflicted people. 1t was good example te set, and we trust that other sections received like gifts. We noticed Rev. E. c. Pattison, and Wm. Barnum. Esq, of Bethel, present. After the singing of the Doxology the assemblage were dis missed.

The days for drawing are Tuesday, Thursday and Sat urday, from 12 o'clock, noon, until half past eight in the evening. We hope to add number of new books as soon as there shall be sufficient money in the treasury to warrant the purchase of them, and we hope all the subscribers who may wish to see some favorite work or new publication added to the library, will give list to the committee for selecting new books. MT. D. G. Lawson, of Glas- gov, Scotland, Elocutionist and Lecturer, will give an entertainment, the proceeds of which, after paying expenses, will be for the benefit of the library, on the even- ing of Jan. 22. We hope there will be full house. and we think all will enjoy it.

 There came near being a fire from the singer in Geo. Durant's shop, Saturday, it was upset, but by strenuous efforts it was put out without an alarm being given. The men cannot be too careful in handling those singers. s
 There was a very interesting review service of the last quarter held in the Congregational Church by the Sabbath School connected with the church on Sun day evening. The school have been us- ing Springer's transfer designs for the blackboard. They were very neatly put up, near or back of the pulpit, which made very fine display of the whole quarter lessons. The lessons were re ceived and explained with their appropri- ate chart by Rev. G. r. Waters, inter- spersed with singing and remarks on the different topics of the lessons by c. H. Hawley, G. G. Durant, E. R. Barnum, D. T. Hubbell, Samuel Kyle, 4. L. Benedict and F. W. Smith. The audience seemed to De very much interested in the services, and we hope were very much ,profited thereby The blackboard is getting to be quite help in the study of the, lessons, as the learner can fasten in the mind the main points of Ine lessons' by this means better than any other way.

COMPLIMENTARY SURPRISE T(
 4 WORTHY YOUNG MAN.

New Years night was the occasion of one of the most enjoyable events of the season, in shape of @ genuine surprise party, given to Mir. Mortimer TerriII, by his many friends in Newtown. About fifty persons assembled at Mrs. Cook s, and, after MT. Terrill had been duly in- troduced and the first surprise was over, all adjourned to Sanfords Hall, where dancing was the order of the day, or rath- or the night until supper, which import ant event took place about twelve o'clock. Singing was indulged in, the singers be- ing led by the President and Treasurer of the Newtown singing school. After all had been to supper they returned to the hall and danced until about three o'clock, when, after wishing their friend Mort. goodnight" and " goodbye" all de parted, pronouncing the dance the best of the season, and only regretting that such pleasant time should be the oeca- sion of saying goodbye" to their friend Mr. Terrill leaves Monday, for Iowa, where he is followed by the best wishes of his friends, whose hopes are that his success in life may only be equal ed sby his happiness. The departure of Mr. Terrill adds another name to the list of Newtown young men, who have left their native town to seek fame and for tuue in distant places; and, while he leaves vacant place in our little town, which is not easily filled, there are none who will not join us in wishing him God speed" Mir. Terrill was clerk for many years in the store of MT. IL. B. Booth. His brother Levi Terrill goes with him and they will join their brother Robert at Wintersett, Iowa. May success attend them all
