II. o. Woodwork, the efficient
Superintendent of the Union Mills, was
agreeably surprised on Christmas Eve by
being waited upon by delegation of his
employees, who, on behalf of the employ
es of the mill, presented him with a
beautiful easy chair, walnut, richly up
holstered, as a token of the esteem in
which he is held by them.
1t is not often that in SO large a num-

Christmas at the Baptist Church.
On Christmas night, the children Of the
Sunday School and a large audience, as.
sembled in the main audience room to
listen to the Christmas exercises of the
school. The chancel was decorated with
large cross of evergreens, reaching from
the floor to the ceiling, on which appear
ed in large golden letters the words "On
earth, peace, good will to men," The
school went through with a very enter
tanning Christmas exercise by Rev. Robt.

and responsive readings. In addition,
there was short address by the pastor
Rev. w. M. Mick, and readings by Miss
Wiley and Miss Paxson, of New Hope,
which added considerably to the pleasure
OF the occasion. At the close, the children
were each presented with pretty little
paper pail, containing candies, nuts, and

Christmas Eve atthe Presbyterian Church.
The infant class connected with the
Presbyterian Sunday School, were pro-
vided for in the shape of a large tree,
which was loaded with toys, candy, books,
&C., and presented very handsome APP
pearance. The exercises consisted of
singing by choir selected from the Sun
day School, and brief address by the
superintendent, Mr.. w A. Greene, after
which the gifts we're distributed. Mr..
A. Anderson then made a few appropriate
remarks, congratulating the superntend-
ent and teachers on the success of their
undertaking. The exercises were held in
the main audience room and were largely
attended by members of the church and
congregation.

workmen with fine turkey and to the

CHRISTMAS oBSERvANcEs,



Christmas Day at St. Andrews.
Twice yesterday the bell called out the
worshippers, to keep the Feast Of the
Lords Nativity.
The morning service was ushered in,-
after spirited organ voluntary,--by the
old English hymn, "Christians awake !
Salute the happy morn The music
throughout WAS hearty, and the service
one of religious joyousness, concluding
with the Holy Communion. The Pastor
preached no Sermon, saying that the
service, so full of the sacred story, and
the devout praise OF the new born King,
left little need for sermon. Iu few
sentences he reminded his hearers that
the Saviour, whose birthday they kept,
is 8 God with us, sharing our humanity !;
that he abides with us forever and that
if He be with us, and for us, no foes can
prevail against us so that our salvation
is made sure by EMMANUEL.
The evening service, at seven. was the
Ghildren's Festival
Despite the storm outside, the church
was completely filed with the little ones
and their friends, Come hither We
faithful, seemed to enlist every heart
aud every tongue aud TO bring Bethle-
hem at once before the Imagination. The
carols that followed carried on the story,
of the angels aud the shepherds, the
true men, and the saints, coming to wor-
ship the virgin born King.
A short lesson from the Gospel by st.
Luke, the recitation of the Apostles
Creed, and a few short prayers, consti-
tuted the religious services, iu addition to
the singing Of five or six carols, which
were sung with sweetness and heartiness
that it did one good only to hear them.
And then thee was the lighting of the
Tree, aud the distribution Of the gifts /!
A box of candy for every scholar; doll
or toy for each infant, aud book for
every older member of the Sunday
School.
1t was pleasant to bbtice that very many
of them received copies of the Holy BIZ
BILE, of convenient size for constant use,
at home or 10 class some of them having
bright clasps and rims, and all prettily
bound. Such pupils as already possessed
Bibles and Prayer Books, had other hand
some books given them.
The boxes bore bright pictures on the
outside and the contents, we have no
doubt, were 10 less attractive and agreea-
BILE to their happy possessors, when they
reached home.
Even !" the Babes of the Parishn were
remembered, and parents, or older broth
ers and sisters carried off boxes to more
than twenty of the very little ones, not
yet old enough to be in the Sunday
School.
The farewell to the Tree was not a tear
ful one, and less sad than it might have
been, did the children think they never
should look upon its like again. They
seemed to have no such fear, however,
and sang with steady voice to the very
end
Farewell 10 thee O Christmas Tree
Twelve months DER,
We shall meet once more,
Many welcome singing as of yore.
For Christ now reigns our Saviour dear,
And gives us Christmas every year

The bill for services of one freeholder
does not appear in the report, but as be
only expended S57.63, for bis work (Which
is included) his bill for services could not
have been large. And the total of all
the benefit Lambertville received from
her So, 200 paid, must have been less than
$4O0 Thus paying her own way and
furnishing $1,000, to pay, for bridge
work for the townships.
1t is true that it might be possible, if
one had all the reports, to select year
when Lambertville may have had more
than she paid. but am convinced that a
comparison Of the last twenty or twenty
five years would show that our City has
paid many thousands Of dollars more than
she has received am not complaining
