Minstrel Entertainment.

The minstrel entertainment at Stal- los hall on Tuesday evening last, drew out the largest audience seen in Globe this season. The programme was an attractive one, and the performance free from the objectionable features of the previous exhibition. MT, Evans dancing is deserving of special notice. He executed some difficult steps with ease and grace, and was several times recalled. The singing too was good, the song by MT. Hitch cock and chorus in the "Plantation Scene" and Mir. McNelly's piece being the best rendered, MT. Scholefeld was also good in his impersonations. Mrs. Fisk and Mr. w. Johnson furnished the instrumental music in an &C., ceptable manner. The performance concluded with an adaptation (by Mr, Lynes) of Harrigan and Harts Christ mas Jubilee, and the audience were dismissed. after a. shower of. pop corn balls and toys from the Christmas tree on the stage.

The following editorial of the Tue son Star of the 21st. has been sharply criticised here, in consequence of the attempt to prejudice the. cases of Murphy and Gibson then pending in court:
 Now that the court has passed sen- tence on Mover for the killing of Levy, it may not be improper to say that both the verdict of the jury and the sentence of the court were just. No one acquainted with the facts will hesitate in believing that of the three who were engaged in the killing of Levy, Mover was the most guilty fall. In fact, there is strong reason to be- lieve that he entrapped Murphy and Gibson into the killing, and made them feel that their lives were in peril, and their only safety lay in killing the man who was notorious as a murderer, had killed several men and had threatened to kill them on sight. Mover, no doubt, was afraid of his life, but was perfectly willing someone else should remove the cause of his fear, hence the trouble between Mur- phy and Levy, and It's final termina. tion. As to whether Murphy and Gibson were equally guilty with Mo- yer. remains for the jury and court to determine upon the facts and the evidence.

Among the many Christmas remem- brances received by the SILVER BELT was pig, from Joe Redman, with an apple in it's mouth, fat as a coon, and trussed up in Wiley's approved style. We regarded that pig with excessive fondness, and thought of the family spread op the morrow with as much unction as if a 'possum and sweet po- tato dinner awaited us, but there were rogues about who saw sweet attrac- tion in that pigs face, body and limbs, and while our back was turned they stole that which our stomach yearned for. We cannot mention the names of the persons who hooked on to it, without wounding the feelings of Judge Long, Postmaster Spence and Frank Hammon, and rather than awaken the tongue of islander, we will say that representatives of Washing tons little hatchet, forgetting it's in- junction to act on the square, stole the pig, and caused us to go supperless to bed, as mad as a March hare.
 We are also indebted to MT. Somer- vile for pound cake, only fractionally less, in circumference, than Diogenes tub, and for another from dear lady friend in Westport, Missouri, and an- other from 8 sister and niece, residents of Farmville, Virginia. These, it would seem, would suffice for a sin gle Christmas, but others, toilet set and selected pictures, from friend just returned from San Francisco, gladdened our eyes; and still they came even from the frigid North, ice bound Detroit, as well as from Eng land, across the deep blue sea. Who, after receiving such profusion of tokens of friendship, would say that friendship is but name.

Christmas fs'~~~

The Christmas tree entertainment, at the M. E. Church on Monday, was a happy event for the young folks, Christmas carols and recitations by the Sunday School children were first in order, MT. Lynes--impersonating Santa Claus-next appeared, and read a piece in imitation of "The Night Before Christmas, which contained several good local hits. The curtain in front of the platform was then withdrawn, disclosing to the eager gaze of the children the immense tree sparkling with candles and ornaments, and well laden with toys and candy. The names of the scholars Of the two Sunday Schools were then called, and each chlld who responded received presents. No one was forgotten, and the beaming faces of the little ones was sufficient recompense to the ladies and gentlemen who had la bored so hard in their behalf.
