the wildly beating heart is covered
by calm face. He does not remain
long. "She is glad he came," she is
saying, "just came to say goodbye"

Christmas I'm the Conrches.

The usual Christmas exercises
were held during the week by the
Sabbath Schools of a majority of
the churches.
At the Southern Methodist church
the exercises were held on Christmas
eve, and were opened with singing
by the school, prayer by d. Speer,
followed by short addresses by Revs.
Cutler and Rice, with singing by
the school before and after each adj
dress. Then Old Santa Claus APP
peared in full winter costume, car
rying large basket on his shoulder,
well-filled with sacks of sweet meats
for the children, which he ordered
to be distributed to each member of
a class as called. The singing led by
B. G. Bushnell, with organ and cor
net accompaniment, was excellent.
The exercises closed with singing,
and the benediction by Rev. w. G.

REFORMED CHURCH.

The usual early Christmas SER
vices were held in this church, and
quite largely attended. The services
were interesting and impressive, and
the music very fine. The con grega-
tion gave the minister handsome
new saddle as a Christmas present.
The usual Christmas exercises of
the Sunday School were held Christ
mas evening. The handsome fres-
Going of the church rendered the
usual decorations unnecessary, and
they were conspicuous by their alb
sence. A small tree handsomely
trimmed stood near the altar. The
exercises were opened with prayer,
and singing, and consisted of Re-
sponsive Readings, and a pertinent
address by the pastor. A handsome
box OF nice candies, &C., was pre-
sented to each member of the school,.
The exercises throughout were high
ly interesting, and large audiences
was present.
LUTHERAN CHURCH.
The exercises at this church were
entirely different from that of pre-
vious years. They were held on
Monday night, and the church was
filed to its utmost capacity. In
stead of the usual Christmas tree
and candies, the exercises were of an
intellectual character, being a rem
dition of "The Magi and the Mes
siah, /" a Christmas service by Rev.
DR.. Vincent, consisting of music,
reading and responses, representa-
tive of the beginning of Time, and
the progress and development of
Christianity, art, science and litera-
ture. The rendition of the piece
was illustrated by various symbols,
such as large rolls Of manuscript
representing the four great trolls Of
history" "globe," quadrant, /"
'crucible," ''retort,' ''chisel,n
"hammer," microscope" "tele-
scope" statute, easel" "brush-
es," palette" and other instru-
ments artistic and scientific.
We have not time or space to give
an outline of the beautiful service,
nor to refer specially to those who
took part in it. Suffice it to say,
each performed well his or her part,
and succeeded in bringing out the
idea and spirit of the piece in its full
power and force.
At the close a number of presents
from teachers to classes and classes
to teachers were distributed, and
the pastor received a handsome one
from the school-a China tea set
which he acknowledged in a fitting
manner.
The evenings entertainment was
highly enjoyed by all present.
BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Baptist Sabbath school held
their Christmas entertainment on
Tuesday evening, and large andi-
ence was present.
A large revolving pyramid, made
up of gilt boxes containing candies,
nuts, &C., stood in front of the altar,
and was kept turning round during
the Introductory exercises, which
consisted of an opening prayer, and
the singing of several pretty and APP
propriate pieces by the school, after

THAT SLATE QUARRY We noticed an
item last week in some of the papers in re-
gard to the discovery Of slate on Mr.. Wilson
B. Kugler's farm near Baptisttowu. Wishing
to know the facts in the matter we interview
ed Mr.. X. AMI from him CLEANED the follow
ing particulars II appears that some time
last fall, a gentleman somewhat acquainted
with the slate industry was looking over the
farm of Mr.. Richard Ashcroft, which adjoius
that of Mr.. Kugler, on the other side of the
hollow, and lie found indications Of aud ex-
animation proved slate. Mr. Ashcroft men,
toned the fact to Mr.. Kugler, aud he said
that similar stone existed on his place and to-
gether they examined that. The slate comes
to the surface and seems TO bear exposure
well, and works easily, but whether it exists
in paying quantities is a question that
thorough Investigation only can determine.
Should it prove as valuable as appearances
seem to indicate, it will be piece of good
fortune to these gentlemen, at which their
many friends will rejoice = FrencAtoson Enter

Chief Engineer

MIR. EDIToR IL happened to be present at
the City Council meeting on Monday evening
last, when petition for license for public
house in this city was presented and read by
the City Clerk for action of council. The
final reading of the petition was barely finish
ell before the president of council announced
that he would not entertain or allow such
paper or petition to coiiie before council, and
other unparliamentary expressions, to the
surprise of the large number of our citizens
present. Now this petition was signed by
freenolders oil THIS city. The prosperity ofour
city or the fluctuations in the rise or fall Of
real estate is noticed and taken into account
by them, in fact, they are the owners Or lords
of the land in the eyes Of the law, and if there
is any one to be benefited or injured 1t is just
such persons. But this presumptuous per-
sonage, president Of our city council, wanted
it to be known that he was man of temper
ance, and had been for years, aud was one of
that class who advocated temperance princi-
and detested people who advocated temper
ance principles aud would 90 TO the back door
TO advocate license for certain individuals.
Now this is all very good, and we respect All
individuals views on the subject, provided he
shows his sincerity but further than this he
was head to say or call. !" Jphnny Johnnyl'
He was noticed to step down from the chair
and Cottage Hin Johpny- councilman from
LIST Ward came forward and occupied the
chair. Whether this was prearranged or not,
we fail to know, but the president of council
took the floor, and further announced in words
to the effect that or,.years he had been a
strong temperance man and opposed to all
licenses, and further insinuated that there
were men who advocated temperance and in
the dark advocate for certain licenses. But
rumor says that he goes far enough into this
temperance Issue to accomplish his OWL indi-
vidual views aud ends, and it is said be is an
old politician aud has thrown many dollar
into places where II would do the most good
and yet claims to be strong temperance
man. Oh, . consistency thou art jewel -
bat this time 1t is a failure.
We doubt II there ever was in the history
of our city petition signed by our freeholders
and presented to council for their action, that
was ever received with such coniemptuous
treatment by president of council. In re-
gard 10 our new councils action. perhaps it
was owing to unfamiliarity with the waysand
rules of former councils that they failed to
remedy these prescriptions rulings of the
rnmp president Of our city council, who has
cast reflections upon all classes and opinions
of our citizens. Perhaps more may be said in
the future. ~ SPECTATOR.

ALMOST A FRE.--Ou Tuesday afternoon
gentleman who had been trading at the store
of w. ii. Fulpcr, In going 10 his carriage saw
smoke issuing from The cracks nf a door in a
storage house in the rear Of the store. He at
once pushed open the door, when, craft thus
being made. the flames sprung up from a
barrel Of straw standing in the building
which he Immediately seized and carried out.
An alarm was given, aud some of the employ
ees Of the store ran to the place, when smoul-
tlering fire was found in another lot of straw
in the same building. Had not this timely
discovery been made, a disastrous conhagra-
ton would have resulted. Several barrels Of
kerosene stood within few feet of where the
fire was started, and if it had gained good
Roadway no human power could have stayed
its course until large amount of property
had been destroyed. There is no doubt but
that it was an attempt at inceudiarism, as no
fire was used in or about the place, and 1t be-
ing started in two different places would
leave no room for doubt. II is to be hoped
the perpetrator of this diabolical attempt may
be discovered and punished as the enormity
of the crime deserves. = Hunferdon RepubIt-
