u. B. CHURCH.-The Christmas
entertainment in the u. b. Church
came off on Tuesday eve. The house
was crowded, all anxiously waiting
for the appearance Of Santa Claus.
AT u O'Clock a rap was heard on the
outside door, when all faces were
turned in that direction to see who
would catch the first glimpse of
Old Santa. After some remarks by
by Santa to the amusement of all, he
unloaded his stock and gave the
children their long looked-for sweet
meats, after which he sang a Ger
man song and then departed. The
school then sang a very appropriate
hymn, praise the Lord" and were
dismissed. The entertainment was
quite interesting throughout.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.--The
Festival of the Presbyterian Sunday
School came off on Tuesday evening
last, at half past five o'clock, in the
rooms of the Y. NJ. G. A. The hall
was very t~astefully decorated with
an arch of evergreen, &c. The chill
dren all seemed happy. The exer-
cises commenced with the hymn,
"Arise We Pilgrims of the night
after which, prayer was offered by
Rev. Mr.. Woods, the pastor of the
church. After the singing of an
other hymn, entitled, Beautiful
thoughts for Christmas" the chill
dren listened to a short talk from
Rev. d. III. Riddle, Jr., the son of
our townsman, DIR. Riddle. Next
came the most inyigorating hymn of
the evening, called "Glory, glory,
glory" in which Mr.. II A Riddle
sang the opening solo, which was re-
sponded to by the girls, and then
boys and all joined in the full chorus
giving glory to God. The childrens
TIE Deum, and the hymn, Little
stars that twinkle in the heavens
blue" were sung by the smaller chill
dren, and elected much applause.
The principal event of the eveningto
the children, was the distribution of
the boxes containing candy, nuts,
&c. After a few remarks from Mr..
Woods, the Doxology was sung and
the Benediction pronunced by DR..
Riddle. We are sure that any one
seeing the bright and happy faces of
the children present, would not re-
greet the trouble and expense n ces-
sary for this kind of gatherings.

IN MEMORIAM.
Mrs. Claribel Ament Leggat.

DIED: In Butte, Montana, Sept. 3,
1881, Mrs. Claribel Ament, wife Of
Mr.. John A. Leggat and daughter of
Mrs. E. III. Ament, of Owosso, Mich
igan, aged 81 years and 6 months.
The sad and unexpected news Of
the death of Claribel Ament Leggat
causes profound grief in her home and
among her large circle of relatives and
friends in this city and Grand Haven.
To Mrs. Ament, her widowed mother,
separated as she has been for the past
year from both of her children, Mrs
Leggat in Montana and Rev. w. S.
Ament in China, the blow is terrible
one. Owing to the telegraph wires
being down, news of Mrs. Leggat's
death did not reach this city until last
Monday, one week from the day of
her burial. She leaves husband and
two children, Alexander about five
years of age and daughter, born
Aug 23rd, for whose sweet life the
mothers own was the precious sacri-
flee. Mrs. Leggat died of blood pois-
oning after an illness of twelve DAYS.
Her funeral services were held at her
late residence in Butte, Sept. 9Th
Clarabel AmeI.t, the eldest child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Ament, was born
in Owosso, Mich, Feb. 7, 1850. Here
she has passed the most of her life.
In the public schools of this city she
was diligent student, an honored
member of the first graduating class
from the high school, and later a
faithful teacher in that department.
She has devoted the best efforts OF
her well-cultured intellect to active
service in the Sunday school, and Mis-.
sion Circle connected with the Con
gregational church, and also in the
Temperance Union in this city. Mrs.
Leggat was a deservedly' popular
teacher in the Grand Haven public
schools for nearly four years, and cul.
tivated many warm friendships. Dur.
ing her residence in Grand Haven
she united with the Presbyterian
church of that city. March 90, 1876,
Claribel Ament was united in mar.
riage to Mr.. John A. Leggat of Grand
Haven. Since her marriage she has
spent her time in this city and Grand
Haven, until last September, when
she and her little son joined Mr.. Leg
gat in Butte, Montana, where the fam
lily has since resided. Mrs. Leggat'.

The President.

The news from the President this
week indicates that he is not losing
ground, and OH the whole at present
writing is somewhat re-assuring.
Notwithstanding the theory that DR..
Bliss is trying to force upon the peo-
pie that there is no blood poisoning
in the Presidents case, the accepted
belief is that if his strength can be
kept up till the poison can be elimi-
mated from his system he will recov.
er. The President is now daily re.
moved into an Invalid chair and plac.
ed where he can enjoy the favorable
weather now prevailing. He says il
does him good and that it should
have been tried earlier. The gun
shot wound is now said to have heal
ed three inches. The gland is do
ing well. The digestive organs &C,
more naturally. While the lates,
complication, the lung trouble, is re-
ported under control. The Presi
dent has eaten fruit with keen relish
and according to bulletin, his sleep
was "tranquil, deep and refreshing"
though Gen. Swain, who was with
him during last night says che was
restless, he is mighty sick man and
far from convalescent."
