\ and loving hearts warmth and sunshine
were generously diffused, and the dis
comforts of the weather were forgotten
/ in the Christmas cheer.
/ The PRESBYTERIAN Sabbath School en-
tertainment at City Hall, Christmas
eve, was highly enjoyed and we'll at
/ tended. The hall was beautifully decor
| ated with Christmas green's, and with
| its wreathes and garlands was quite
/ beautiful. Across the front OF the stage
were the appropriate words in ever
I green. "Christ is King" Peace on
/ Earth, Goodwill to Men" The Christ
mas tree, some sixteen feet in height
and OF admirable proportions, was the
leading attraction and, indeed, charm
ing, and being loaded with some two
hundred and fifty presents, elegant and
I beautiful, consisting of - well, Just
everything nice you could mention,
made quite handsome appearance, and
the hearts OF little and big were happy
in the glorious anticipation of what they
might yet. Bright, blooming flowers,
ice cream and delicious cakes and con-
ieutioneries were the refreshments OF
the evening and were sold rapidly. The
distribution OF presents commenced
at eight O'Clock and veritable Santa
Claus" with his merry bells gave to each
scholar of this large school some lovely
present. Not one was forgotten and
bright ewes grew brighter, warm hearts
grow warmer, and everybody seemed
happy. The festivities closed at quite
a late hour and but little time was gwen
for visions of sugar plums, &c, TO dance
through anybody : head before the really
Santa would be making his yearly calls.
The Methodist Sunday School enter.
tainment came of at City Hall Christ
mas night and was largely attended.
The programme consisted Of music,
mbaux, recitations and dialogues by
the scholars. Many OF the performances
were highly enjoyed and quite
creditable, particularly those OF the
little ones; but 10 notice all
is utterly impossible, 50 suffice
it to say that everybody deserved the
highest praise. Yet We regret to say
that the order surpassed anything in
downright ruWdyism We ever saw, and
was a shame upon any community, the
more 50 when the perpetrators were
SUNDAY school scholars, and while the
Superintendent, Mr.. Hunt, used every
mild cndcavor to quell the riot it was OF
nOavail We are glad to say this behavior
was confined to a certain element that
finds its way into the school, and not by
those whose training at home has been
what it should be. In our opinion the
blame rests with parents, and il the
home education was what ii should be
we would not have so disgraceful men
tiun 10 make Of GAINESVILLE. And it
strikes us if we should be called to teach
such mOnstrosities, we should leave our
Bible and Testament at home and sub
stitute a cOwhide until a better order OF
things prevailed. The entertainment in
itself was all that could be desired, and
had there been order would have been
successful We noticed the push and
rudeness on Christmas eve INDUCED in
by some of the scholars, which made il
unpleasant TO do anything but sit till,
but this was but the dawn of a coming
bedlam, and certainly portion of our
Young America need TO be looked after.
Let MS see to it that another year
finds a decided improvement.
The concert given by Prof. Rhu, OF
Beaver College, at City Hall, Tuesday
evening, was the NEST successful musl-
cal ieasts our town has ever enjoyed.
No higher appreciation could have been
paid the Professor and his class oftalen-
ted Young ladies than the audience gath

Misses O'Neal, Of Clarion, Pa, Miss

soprano singers, possessed beautiful
voices, giving evidence Of high culture,
and each had their host OF admirers who

and gave beautiful evidences of their
ability. Miss Rose Mace displayed great
power and received the highest apprc-
citation, while Miss Anna Barnes, Misses
Allen and Mc(iregor were loudly ap.
plaudcd. Miss Sue Moore sang with
good effect and shows great develop
ment, while Miss Elsie O Neal possesses
a beautiful alto voice which was
much admired. Professor Rhu gave
two selections, showing him to be
master Of his profession and

tleman We trust the Beaver College
music class will come again, and we
promise them cordial welcome.
