A Holiday Entertain M ent

One of those occasions, which not only
please those of mature years, but more
especially delight the children, took place
last evening, at the Central Presbyterian
ChuIch. The managers had spared no
effort to make II successful affair, and
how well they succeeded may be judged
from the exercises which took place.
The entertainment was held in the main
audience room which was profusely
trimmed with evergreens. The principal
pit platform, which surpassed anything
of the kind ever seen in this city.
Prominently displayed was full rig
ged ship, 1915 feet, which was laden
with the Christmas gifs for the children.
The vessel was manned by Capt. Thatch-
er and four sailors. Around and under
the ship was quantity of cvergreens,
arranged in such manner, as to give a
very correct representation Of water.
Before the exercises of the evening
opened the ship was hidden by a curtain n,
which upon given signal disappeared
so suddenly that no one knew where II
went to. On one side OF the pulpit was
a cross and star, and on the other pyr'
amid of evergreens, while in front OF the
4
quet of pampas grass.
About o'clock the scholars marched
up from the Sunday school room, ant
after being seated the music of "Pull TO
the Shore" was heard in the distance
which continued to grow distinct unit
it was plainly heard.
The exercises opened with recitation
entitled, IA Night before Christmas,
by Katie Plummer. She was followe
by the SUNDAY school singing hymn
Christmas Bells and a recitation b
Helen Norton.
After hymn by the school and a rec
tation, "Ring out Wild Bells" by Earr
est b. McNair, the most important pal
of the entertainment took place, whic
consisted of the delivery of the bill {
lading by Santa Claus, to the Superb

Death Of the Princess Alice.

A Paris letter to the Tribune says:
There is much real grief. The Princess
Alice was lik d among all the Queens
children. Her vigilance at her fathers
deat h-bed, and during her brothers i'll
ness won her much love. She has always
been spoken of as her fathers favorite
daughter. A French writer narrates a
touching story of the Prince Consort's
last illness. The Queen refused to be-
lieve his death near, and it was TO his
daughter Alice, therefore, that most OF
lis last requests and last words were de-
l.vered. On the last Sunday he kept her
by his side while the rest went to church.
She sat by his bed, listening atteDtively
to his utterauces. AT times she sang to
him the hymns he loved. When she was
overcome she withdrew slowly and quiet
ly, but when she had closed the door fed
TO Ler own room sobbing. A few min
utes later she once more took her post by
the sick man, allowing nothing TO belray
her agitation, unless il were the paleDess
of her countenapce. So it was with her
children lately al Dsrmstadt. She knew
perfectly well the tremendous risk she
ran. The papers talk of an infection
from kisses. A great physician told me
yesterday that there was peril in every
breath she drew in the room. No praise
can be too high for her mothery heroism

A STRANGE RUMOR.
RICHMOND. Va. Dec. 81

A arrange story comes Raleigh tonight
TO the effect thOt Mr.. O'Brien, brother of
Bonanza O'Brien, Of California who Wis
tied there by lawyer from New York,
two weeks ago. The lawyer remained
ono day and then LEFT for Now York.
O'Brien, who WAS understod TO be in the
last stages Of consumption. was advised
women came to Raleigh, remained q
week, and, It IL said, filed O'Brien with
stimulants, and under immense pressure
left at once, their baggage being labelled
for Washington. 1t is thought BY the
physicians that he was prematurely car
ried of, lsnd tbe opinion prevails that
while drugged he was compelled to sign
documents perveriing the will Of his
brother, who has been dead some time.
The parties have not been heard from
and O'Brien Is believed to be dead by this

EAsToN, PA, Dec. 3l.-A well-lo-do far
mer named Joseph Rhoads, and his wife,
were attacked in their house few miles
from Laury's station last night by four
men with drawn revolvers. They made
Rhoads give up his money. The exact
amount is not known, but it was con-
siderable. A servant girl ran from the
rear of the house and alarmed the neigh
bers, who. with guns, tracked The rob-
hers, one of whom was Nathan France,
living in Ironton. He was followed
through the snow to his house and ar
rested. He confessed, and told where
two others, named Alfred Roth and John
IIanley, were, and they were also taken.
The fourth man, who had the money and
valuables, escaped. The Others are now

THE DRINKING WATER.

Mr.. Editor:-Muchis being said about
the impurity of our drinking water; aud
cases OF sickness and deaths are adduced
as the result of it. If this be really so,
arethere not some chemists in our citywho
would enlighten The community on this
subject, or is it not the duty Of councils
to have an analysis made at once.
Some others suppose the overflow of the
marshes during the fall, may have some
thing to do with the spread OF the fevers
