Christmas was observed in Westminster in
the usual way. Services were held in the
two Methodist, Catholic. Episcopal and Ger
man Reform churches; business was suspend.
ed and the day quietly enjoyed by our staid
denizens. The young folks, as usual, had
recourse to tin horns, fire crackers, miniature
cannon aud other explosives, and the ''Beltz.
nickels' were on their merry rounds with
gee aud laughter In the eve sma hours
there were some sporadic attempts at vocal.
cation, but we cannot say they were a success,
although there was merit in the intention.
