A little ComnlOilOn.

The boys who took in the carnival at
the daDce-house on Buel street on SUNDAY
night came near having more fun than was
laid down on the programme. While the
festive aoene was in progress about mid
night a disturbance occurred and reVolYers
became as nj merous ss hands to hold
them. Those who had no guns to protect
their persons with got through the doors
as speedily as their trembling legs would
carry them, Fortunately, however, the
whisky was not OF tho most deadly kind
and the women managed to restore order
without bloodshed. Dancing was re-
sumed, but the timid kept one eye on the
door and the other on the dozen or 80
of combatants,

The Eureka Tunnel.

The correspondent of the San Francisco
Scientific Press speaks as follows of work
in the Tunnel; There ia a gradual i'm
pYovsmsnt in the tunnel. The south drift
from main tunnel toward the Eldorado
No. q shaft has advanced 90 feet on the
contract, aud is in very favorable ground
for ore. The winxe from new north drift
is down 6j feet from tunnel level, and has
iuterseoted the east chamber, where the ore
still holds out, and the ventilation 10 now
good. The north stope looks we'll, the ore
running from one to three feet thick at
the extreme end, which is probably 40 feet
from the line Of the tunnel. The best
looking portion Of the mine is around and
about the bottom OF the south winse from
the los level. whence the ore makes of in
every direction, from one to six feet IN
in thickness, and undulating like waves.
If a hosting engine is placed on the main
shaft or winze l do not doubt that from
10 to ~ tons Of ore per day could be
hoisted, but at present the waste dirt can
not be removed fast enough to allow 1t.

SKATING at the Rink.

For the first time this Winter the Ice
Hing holds sway. A cold wave swept in
from the north on Saturday evening, OF
which the Rink managers took due advant-
age. Thu ice was built up rapidly. and
Yesterday morning the announcement went
forth that the doors Of the Rink had been
opened for skaters. A number of ladies
and gentlemen Immediately took advant-
age OF the privilege, and instead of carry
ing a prayer book to church many young
gentlemen could be seen alongside OF ladies'
on their way to the Skating Rink, Juggling
several pairs Of skates. Last night the

THE METHODIST CHURCH.
W Days Service at this Temple
of rNnrshin.

AT the Methodist Church the services
Christmas Eve were of a very interesting
character. The church was literally
packed, every available nook being filled
with persons standing and sitting. The
attraction was a service of song, entitled
"Christ is Born" The scholars-and choir
were all seated on the platform, and pre-
sented q most beautiful appearance. The
service opened with a hymn, fJoy to the
World" Then followed prayer by the
pastor and the recital in a nice manner by
the scholars of the Lords Prayer. The
service then goes on with song, recitation,
dialogue and responsive reading to tell Of
the birth of the Savior. Many Of the
scholars took part in the Rotations, etc.,
and all joined in the singing, which was
admirably rendered by the children. At
the close of the children's exercises Rev.
George w. James addressed himself par
tlcularly to the scholars and commended
TO their notice, lessons from the Life
OF Christ The children listened with
GREATNESS attention, thus showing that
their pastor knows at least how to interest
them in the subject of duty and obedience.
The collection was a very fair one, viz
$40. On Christmas morning a large con-
gregation assembled to hear Mr.. James
historical proof. in favor of the divinity
of Christ. The sermon was pregnant with
thought, and gave evidence of extensive
research to prove that "Christ was indeed
the Son of God" In the evening the
chairs were cleared away from the body of
the church, and an old-fashioned and most
enjoyable romp given to the children.
Games were INDUCED in until all were
tired, and the scholars Of the Methodist
Sunday School and their friends returned
home after a very happy Christmas. Mr..
James promises another treat on New
Years evening. The tree will then be
loaded with presents, and any person de-
sirous of placing IN the tree anything for
a friend is requested to leave it at the par.
sonage on or before Saturday next.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
a JoyOus Time by the Children OF
the Episcopal Sunday school.

A Joyous Time by the Children o.
the Episcopal Sunday school.
The Christmas tree exercises OF the
Episcopal Chdrch Sunday School took
place last night. At 7 o'clock the church
was crowded with the scholars of
the school, their parents, teachers and
friends, even the standing room and gal
lery being fully occupied. The children
were very restless and cast anxious
looks at the trees, which groaned under
their load OF presents. These trees had
been handsomely arranged by Messrs.
Vanderlieth, Ladd and George, three
young gentlemen who take a deep interest
in the school. The first part of the even
ing was devoted to the singing of the
carols by the children, who had been
trained in the songs by Miss Minnie
Griffin. 1t is no easy task to harmonic
100 voices, but the young lady by patient
labor had brought them to a pleasant de-
gree of proficiency, and the carols were
sung prettily and with energy. The chill
dren were led by Miss Griffin and a
quartette of young ladies, consisting Of
Daisy Wendell, Minnie Egleston, Katie
Edgecomb and Mamie Wood, whose voices
blended in delightful melody. A solo by
Miss Griffin, as also one by Miss Wendell,
Introducing a carol each, were very sweetly
rendered. After the singing the Lords
Prayer was recited by the school, and
then the presents were given out amidst
joyous excitement among the boys, who
had swelled to double the number that
usually appear at class. None were over
looked, and each present was accompanied
by a small package of candy. The teachers
and choir were also remembered, while a
number of valuable gifts were made to
Rev. Mr.. Crawford by the scholars. The
occasion was a merry one, and the little
folks will look forward to a recurrence of
Christmas with pleasant anticipations.

0 blaze.

A fire occurred at noon last Friday at
the dollhouse and ice mandatory of the
virginia 4 Gold Hill Water Company on
the Divide. which did $4,000 worth OF
damage. The dollhouse. wsa destroyed,
but the adjoining building, containing the
engine and machinery for making ice, can
be repaired at small cost. The fire was
caused BY the explosion of a chemical fluid
used in freezing water. There was a leak
in the pipe containing the fluid, and it is
supposed the heat of the boiler caused the
explosion. Superintendent Overton was
in the building at the time of the explosion
and had his hair, beard and eyebrows
burnt, but sustained no serious injury.

The Holiday Season.

If any one doubts whether Americans
have the money-saviug faculty, says the
New York Herald, let him contemplate the
holiday season.. BE will see in New York
alone thousands Of shops full OF goods
prepared almost entirely rs presents; the
shops are also full of purchasers. The
goods are of all prices, but the most popu-
lar are generally the most expensive, and
the demand seems practically unlimited,
for there is seldom IL holiday season in
which the supply Of anything really desir-
able is fully equal. to the requirements of
purchasers. Year by year the stock of
holiday goods becomes larger and more
varied, until it seems impossible
that it should al be disposed OF,
yet every year the public absorbs
the whole quantity 30 thoroughly that
"closing out sales of surplus holiday
goods are almost unknown. Statesmen
become utterly unequal to their work, for
purchasers come in crowds; prices may be
high, but seldom is anybody heard to ask
for a reduction. II all the articles sold at
this season could be classed as ''useful'
the aggregate would, nevertheless, seem
wonderful, but the truth is that a large
proportion consists of luxuries and orna-
ments. Whore does oil the money come
from Not from the rich, for these, al
though numerous, do not form a large
proportion of the purchasers. The bulk
of the purchases and presents go to the
homes Of persons of small incomea, and
the number and value are amply meal
euiable. Few are heard to complain of the
expense incident to the season.; few moan
about general extravaganza. Either every
body has saved money or money n
promptly to hand when wanted.
