Christmas eve was celebrated in the
Church in appropriate christian style. The
tree loaded with its artificial fruit was exhlb-
tied at the right and left of the pulpit giving
a grand display of fancy articles tastefully
hung on the tree. The pulpit and surround
ings were covered with fancy articles of Chi.
ma and glass ware, pastry, and wearing ap-
parel. In due time Santa Claus and follow
ers appeared and politely distributed the
gifts from the tree, endeavoring no doubt to
initiate the All Wise and Merciful in his
inimitable Christmas gift to the human race.
but the surprising excellence of the exhibit
ton was the programme of exercises for the
evening. Mr.. Samuel Bunker presided and
called the meeting to order in due time,
and the exercises commenced by singing
i'Christ the Lord is risen to-day
Prayer by Rev. B. F, stinson.
There was splendid Christmas address
and defamation by Nettie Squirting.
The grandest performance and browning
work of the evening was dialogue between

On New Years eve, at an early hour,
large company Of ladies met at the residence
of Rev. c. p. Bartlett, each bringing some
thing which was to be revealed in due time !;
little later the gentlemen might be seen
vending their way to the same place, each
carrying a mysterious little package; the
object of these movements was to surprise
Mr.. Bartlett, give him a pounding partake
of a bountiful supper, and enjoy pleasant
evening together. all of which was success
fully accomplished. 1t was delightful sur
prise to hir. b. who was made to realize,
that, although he has laid down the work in
which he has been so successful among this
people, he is not forgotten by them. Mr..
and Mrs. Tiiden, Mr.. and Mrs. Cole and
Others added to the entertainment by sing
ing, after which Mr.. Bartlett thanked the
the company for the visit, and called on Rev.
Jos. II. TAYLOR to offer prayer, and, during
the last hour Of the old year, the company
dispersed'to their homes.
Rev Herbert TIlden has commenced
his labors here under very favorable circum-
stances. he is completely capturing the hearts
Of the people, and it is hoped that he may
be permitted to carry forward successfully
the work which has been so prosperous the
last few years under his predecessor.
The people Of this town were much
surprised on opening their "AMERlcAN's"

was a mistake of the printer. who doubtless

HIM to attend to that little matter of his
confidential martyr, Heath, of Mississippi,
Loui siana and the Southwest generally.
The Boston Herald, not Southwestern
journal, submits the following pertinent
information touching that injured man:
"a letter from resident of Louisville,
who knew Mr.. Heath at the time of the
alleged outrage, states that the latter gen.
tleman told the writer an entirely differ
ent story. He said he was burned out
through the malice Of rival dealer that
he had the goodwill Of the white people
who deplOred his loss and wanted him to
stay,as they::appreciated his goods and bar
gains. The wliter adds that he has
talked with two colored men who worked
for Heath, and they put him down as the
hardest taskmaster and the poorest pay

the list Of subscribers to the fund for the

CATION upon the site of the historic "Old

made reach So. 1G2, of which tine largest
single contribution was 500, though there
were number Of subscriptions OF 800,
and the list ranging from these sums all
the way down to 81. Bishop Sbanalian
said the list OF subscriptions is as yet far
from being coMplete, very many of the
members Of the congregation who have
signiiied their sympathy with and coOp-
Grafton in the work not yet having
specified the exact amount they are will
ing to subscribe to it's furthcrance. Some
of the contributors, too, he said, have
expressed purpose to aid still
further. Bishop 3hanaban said that q, 900
was the amount OF capital with which it
would he safe to say the work is now
ready to he begun, and with this sum on
hand proposals will be invited for the erec
ton Of the walls and roof of the new
building, and when this much is done
it will be seen to what extent the enter.
prise can he pushed, and it will then go on
as circumstances warrant.
