St. Johns DayiFestiraE.

On Tuesday evening the members of
Golden Sheaf Lodge, No. 1873, "A. F. and
4. NJ, in the presence of large. assem-
blage of invited guests and visiting breth.
rem, publicly installed their officers.
The occasion was the event of the sea
son, upwards of eighty couple being in at
tendance, and was conducted in manner
which gave eminent satisfaction to all
present and was especially credi,able to
Golden Sheaf Lodge.
First in order of festivities came grand
BANQUET,
the tables for which were spread in Bris =
bine's Hall. The spread was elaborate,
liberal and varied, The five tables seating
one hundred and sixty odd persons. The
scene was bright, animated, and very
busy one, twelve brethren in long aprons
waiting upon their guests, before whom
was placed an endless array of substantial
and delicate food. The tables were liter
ally loaded down with good things and
bright with shining silver, and with their
tasteful arrangement, profuse supply and
excellent service were surprise to all, and
especially creditable to the ladies upon
whom devolved the arrangements, rs well
as to all those Tho prepared and centribu.
ted the many delicious delicacies SO gener-
ously supplied. After all had partaken of
the feast, the brethren with their guests
adjourned to the lodge room. where the
impressive masonic

During the exercises quartette consist

Messrs. Phelps and Lyman, rendered in a
very acceptable manner several appropri
ate odes, after which Bro. j. p Mumfurd
delivered a brief but very excellent ad-
dress which was interesting to all and es
pecially instructive to the craft.
On the conclusion of the installation SER
vices the assembled company returned to
the hall-which in the meantime had been
made ready for the dancers-and there
spent the remainder of the evening most
enjoyable.
The event was thoroughly enjoyable
throughout, nothing being left undone by
the brothers of the Mystic tie which could
in any way contribute to the pleasure, en-.
joyment or sociability of their assem- bled
guests, and all who participated are out.

judgment of the management, which con-

evening.

cOuntenance, while the little ones were
fairly beside themselves with irrepressible
JOY and glee. as they received through
Santa Claus the many gifts prepared for
them by thoughtful, loving and tender
hands. Christmas is indeed joyous sea-
son, and as such scenes are viewed, there
are none, whether old or young, rich or
poor, but will carry away with them
holier, nobler and purer thoughts, and be
thus benefited by the lasting impressions
received.
The members c. the Norwegian Luth.
eran church, with their families, assem-
bled at the court house, where Santa Claus
again appeared, and from off a tree, bur
dened with many and varied seasonable
gifts, distributed to old and young the
atfectioDate mementoes which carry pleas
ure and delight to the hearts of both giver
and receiver. The occasion here rs else
where was most pleasing one, and there
was no little harmless merriment created
by some of the suggestive presents thought
fully bestowed, ana which, on being ex-
posed, created great amusement at the ex-
pense of the recipient. We would like to
tell all about the fun, but space forbids.
AT the Episcopal church on Monday
evening like scenes were enacted as previ-
ousiy described. The church was taste
fully and appropriately decorated with
eyergreens. and presented Il cozy and well
come appearance, which, aided, by the
many happy and cxpectant faces of the
children present, formed bright and
pleasing scene. The exercises were open.
ed and closed with Christmas Carols by
the Sunday school children, followed by
brief address by the pastor, after which
the presents were distributed among the
little folks. none being forgotten.

the bonds OF holy matrimony during the
time mentioned, as several of our young
men went elsewhere to look for their
brides. We say the number is compare
lively large; by this we mean that the list
is largely in excess of last or any previous
year, and shows gain Of ninety per
cent. speaking statistically. The only re.
mark we have to make in this connection
is this: the list should have beeu very
much greater, and any one whe will
glance at the large number Of fine
robust aud handsome young men who are
daily to be seen in our midst, will coincide
with US in this. We will also add that
each and every one of them should resolve
among their other good New Years vows
to have their names included in the hon.
orable roll to be published year hence.
