Christmas at Our Churches.

The Presbyterian church on Christ
mas eve was well filled with an inter-
ested audience of folks big and little, at
the Sunday School festival. The usu-
al exercises were engaged in, recita-
tions, readings, singing, speeches, &c.
Marion Miller read an extract from
Dickens about the Cratchett's Christ
mas Dinner; little Nette Reynolds
made an oral speech, and so did her
brother Glen. His was about Santa
Claus. Miss Mary Reynolds presided
at the organ, and the volunteer chorus
acquitted themselves in a handsome
manner. One exercise which was well
received was the u~ncovering of a motto
reading, ga Merry Christmas" togeth-
er with the recitation of Bible verses,
by Mr.. Grifis and his class. One in
teresting visitor vas from the North
Pole, Santa Claus himself. His bells
were heard rafting outside while he
hitched his reindeer. He came in ar
rayed in suitable style, and having a
long white beard. He made a few re-
marks in a hoarse tone of voice, and
gave the presents to the classes. When
he had done this the old man hobbled
out remarkirg that, che had far to go,
and that his reindeer would not stand
WE'LL" No one would have imagined
that Santa Claus and Frank Thompson
were one and the same, and yet it ia
currently reported this is the case.
Great credit is due to the Super
intendent Mr.. Grifis, and to the
efficient corps of teachers and scholars
who planned and executed the whole
entertainment,

The Sunday School festival and
Christmas treat of the Church of Christ,
or last Saturday evening, was a plea
SAINT and enjoyable affair. The audi
eDce room of the church was tastefully
decorated by the ladies of the school,
while back Of the raised door in the
e of the pulpit were displayed the
presents intended for the children. The
house was well filled with an orderly
audience, the r%ecitations and singing
were excellent, both by the older ones
and the children, and the presents and

those who received the more valuable
presents were Mrs. Kinney, Miss Alice
Silver and Mrs Warren Dunlap.

family daughter named Sarah D.,
aged just seventeen, small in stature
fol. her age, and merely child. Another
old farmer named Prichett, is close
neighbor, who has n son just thirteen
years Of age, who is dubbed Morton.
About two weeks ago these small chill
dren planned an elopement and sue
ceeded in leaving their paternal roof
safely. After leaving their homes they
walked to Wabash, a distanceof twenty
miles, where they took the train for
White Pigeon, Mich. After arriving
there they were duly united in mar
riage. They roamed over several towns
on their wedding trip, until their
finances became short, when they re-
turned home last week and told their
respective parents of their adventure.

A oOvErOUs FRIEND.
MuraerinE A MAN for Beads ana Wifi
and BurninE HIS Own VIE.

Washington, Sept 29.-The treasury
department was in the receipt some
time since Of a communication from
the chief Of the detective corps Of San
Francisco containing statements which
read like highly wrought up romance,
embracing the crimes Of murder, rob
berry and infidelity. The story in brief
is as follows: Two gentlemen, friends
Of each other, with their wives, were
travelling in California. One of them
had In his possession a number OF
registered United States bonds. The
sight OF the bonds excited the cupidity
OF his friend, who also coveted his
neighbor's wife. The two men walked
out together one afternoon TO view the
mountain scenery. The owner Of the
bonds was never seen again and his
companion reported that he had acci-
IDENTIFY tumbled down a frightful preci-
pice. Subsequently, while in the recess
ses OF vass forest, the man tied his
own wife and burned her TO death.
Then, in company with the wife of the
missing man, he made his way back TO
San Francisco and with her conniyance
personated the owner of the bonds and
endeavored TO negotiate the sale Of
them. The two were shadowed and
found to be living US husband and wife,
the man assuming the name OF the
friend whom he was believed TO have
murdered. Such is the outline OF the
detectives story, and as may readily be
imagined the treasury officials were on
the qui viye for an application which
might come for the transfer OF the
bonds TO another party. Nothing was
heard until quite recently, when a let
ter was received from the attorneys of
\ lady living in Kansas City asking the
transfer Of the bonds to her name. The
lady states that she Is the widow of the
person in whose name the bonds now
stand registered. An account is then
given OF his murder or supposed mur-
der by the false friend, whom, it is
stated, obtained possession of the bonds,
but there is nothing to indicate that
she was an accessory or that she had
any subsequent knowledge Of the move
ments Of the murderer.

senator Jones Denies the worlds"
story

San Francisco, Sep. 29.-The Bulle-
tan this afternoon will publish an inter-
view with Senator John b. Jones, of
Nevada, relative to the letter which
the New York Worlds Washington
correspondent alleges to have been re-
ceived by an intimate friend Of Jones',
Of Nevada, in which he announces his
determination TO disconnect himself
from any participation in the conduct
Of the republican campaign and to
support Fair for the senate as against
Sharon.
Senator Jones emphatically denies
having written such letter, and says
further, that has not for many weeks
written any letter containing reference
70 political affairs. While confessing n
preference for Grant as the nominee Of
the party, yet when the Chicago con-
vention selected Garfield, the latter be-
came his choice, and he regards him rs
eminently fitted for the position. He
holds that In no election since the de-
mocracy resolved itselfinto arebel army
in 1861, has there been more i'm
portance to the welfare of the coun-
try. As to the senatorial contest, the
stupidity of the utterances in the al
legged letter, is evident from the fact
that it is only within few days that it
has been known that Fair would be
mentioned rs a candidate, and it is not
yet certain whether or not Sharon will
be a candidate. He expresses conf
dence that Nevada will cast her electo-
raj vote for the republican candidates.

Erie, Pa. Sep. 29.-On the evening
Of the 25th inst Baron Eberhard Won
Wiederhold and Miss Ida Meuser, an
accomplished young lady of seventeen
summers, were married. The young
baron is the son Of Baron Won Wieder-
hold, ex-war minister Of Wittomberg,
South Germany, who was the leading
spirit in the campaign against Prussia
when Wirtemberg joined the Austrian
side. The way the marriage came to
be brought about is as follows: Two
years ago, II. Nick, esq.,, one Of Erie's
leading druggists, being in Europe, met
the old baron and his family, and be-
fore leaving invited young Eberhard to
come out and spend a few months in
Pennsylvania. The invitation was ac-
cepted, and about eighteen months ago
he came here, was well received and
made many friends, especially among his
countrymen. Being great sportsman
he was continually seen in the woods,
gun In hand, and always with a good
bag Of game. But it seems he found
time to hunt other game than wild
ducks. He won the affections Of Miss
Meuser and last fall he posted off to
Europe, presumably for the purpose of
obtaining the old baron's consent, and
something better calculated to insure
bread and butter and happiness. He
returned a short time ago with the
lord Of Wirtemberg's permission to
wed, and also with liberal supply OF
the needful.
