GOOD words for n GOOD Thing.

The papers are so full of exaggera-
tons about all sorts of things that it is
hard to tell what to believe. Yet all
things are not humbugs, nor are all
statements lies. DR.. David Kennedy
"Favorite Remedy" is exactly what it
claims to be, and deserves the praises
that are showered upon it from all
who have used it. Hear a word from
Mr.. Israel IL. Snyder, of Saugerties, N.
Y. He says: MY little daughter was
covered with Salt Rheum from head to
foot, DR.. KenneGy's "Favortte Rene
dy'' cured her altogether, and the dis
ease has never since appeared. This
was two years ago" Such words go
to the point. Get "Favorite Remedy"

There was mistake of our own
making in the second item Of last
week, which should read shingle mill
instead of starch factory" Now it
might not make any difference with
future generations if that item should
not DE corrected, but fearing the conse-
quences, we will, with great anxiety of
mind acknowledge there were more
Christmas trees, than shingle mills in
our mind. Hence the mistake. There
was another mistake in the last item
which, with the compositors leave, we
will give him credit for. lie makes
Santa Claus a "useful" cid soul.
There is no denying that fact, but we
happened to call him "unselfish" Just
then. But we freely forgive you Mr..
Compositor, and trust you will never
say anything worse of our good old
friend.
Our Christmas trees this year were
not so beautifully laden with fruit US
usual, but none, we trust, went away
feeling that they were forgotten. One
very pleasing feature of the evening
was the generous distribution of gifts
to the poor. If it is more blessed to
give than to receive, we think MIR. +.
the gentleman from Island Pond, must
have returned home happy that even
ing. With gratefulness of heart, we
thank those dear friends who so gener-
ously presented us with nice silver
Ware. Among our choicest souvenirs
will be placed those nice alrectionate
little letters from our Sunday School
scholars. Dear friends, one and all,
again we thank you, and if love and
kind wishes can repay you, you shall
be fully rewarded for your kindness.

Christmas at the NJ. L. Church, on
Friday eve was a success. The house
was beautifully decorated, witha stage
built in front and two Christmas trees
bearing numerous presents. one on
each side of the stage. The exercises
under the direction of j. C. Webster
consisting of. readings, Rotations,
songs and tableauX, all appropriate
and we'll executed, render u Just tri-
butte of praise to those concerned de
sirable, but space forbids separate
mention. All was well received by a
crowded house, and the presents were
many of them rich and valuable. The
pastor, Rev. ]. II. Winslow, received
frequent and honorable mention, aud
his family were not forgotten. In fact
few in this church went home empty
handed. On Monday eve there were
similar exercises at the Congrega.
tional Church. A Christmas Cantata
was acted, and presents distributed.
On the whole there has been much en-.
joyment herefo for a week past and many
young hearts are happy.

The Festival of Christ Church Sun
day School occurred on Christmas Eve
as usual. There was the service of
Evening Prayer at the Church, with Il
short address BY the Pastor, and the
singing of Christmas Carols by the
children in place of the usual chants
and hymns. Following this the school
proceeded in II body to Clarke Bros.

The Methodist, CONGREGATIONAL and

Methodist church on Christmas eve.
Two large trees and a twelve foot table
were beautifully loaded with beautiful
and valuable expressions of good will
and friendship. The services were
opened with Christmas Anthem by
four voices, followed by a recitation by
Miss Mabel Mansur and prayer by Rev.
Mr. Bruce. Mr. z. NJ. Mansur who had
charge of the exercises then deputed
Messrs. Noyes, &c. Robinson, Storrs &
Rich to pluck the tempting fruit, and
five young lads to deliver the same to
the expectant company. This process
continued rapidly for over an hour
when the assembled crowd, (for the
house was packed) dispersed, most of
them apparently with full hands and
happy hearts. Rev. Mr.. Bruce and
family were very generously remem-
bered. Mr.. B. received q full set of

The people of the State must have
feelings of profound gratitude that the
Legislature, after one of the longest
sessions ever known, has finally adj
journed, especially if it be true as stat
ed upon the floor of the House, by the
gentleman from Ludlow, that the legis-
lature was Il disgrace to the State.
Never did the two Houses convene I'M
der more favorable auspices in the in
terests of retrenchment and reform,

paign of last summer. The result is
sad to contemplate. ESSEX.
