CHRIsTMAS.
Its Observance In Burlington.
| The festival of Christmas had its usua
public celebration in this city. The day wa'
fine, with the exception that the weather
was in a rather melting mood all the places
of business, with one or two exceptions
were closed and everybody enjoyed "a holi
day. The observance of the day began Oh
Sunday. AT all the churches sermons APP
propriatc to the day were preached, and il
some OF them there were services fer TIC
ch ldicn in the evening, at which the attend
ancc was very great. The churches were
deliberately and handsomely decorated, and
presented a beautiful appearance.
AT the Methods: church there was au es
pecially elaborate musical programme under
the direction of Prof. q. ii. Hudson, the or.
gauist of the church. A marked feature wa;
the singing OF Miss Jennie Mead OF Platts-
bursh, N. y, young singer Of wonderful
promise. Her solos were rendered in exquis-
lite taste, while her notes in chorus reminded
one Of an English lark, 50 clear and bird
like. If her voice is not over-taxed-
she is but fifteen she is sure to make hei
mark. Prof iludson's brother, mastery
violinis, gave great assistance, while he was
nobly sustained by L. =. w. Rogers OF tn S
city on the violonccllo and Miss Alice Spear
made an excellent accompanies al the piano.
The chorus was fine and spoke volumes for Il
possible choir for this church.
The Wnoosli Avenue Congregation
church was very beautifully decorated. On
