BUFFALO PRAIRIE.
RI1FFAIn PpArprr

BUFFALO PRAIRIE, Dec. go, 1881.
The chief topics for discussion now are
the terrible condition of the roads and the
Christmas tree. The former are as bad as
well can be, and the latter-well, its hardly
possible to speak too highly of the manner
in which it passed off. Notwithstanding
the difficulty in getting about on the roads,
the church was well filed, and almost
every one was remembered in the distribuss
ton of gifts, some of which were quite
valuable. The sensation of the evening
was the presentation of chair to Mr..
Lutz, by the members of the Sunday
school. Mr.. Albert Whitney made some
very appropriate remarks on presenting
the chair to which Mr.. Lutz responded.
All went home happy. x. P.
