Hardly the usual amount Of in
terest was taken in the holiday
festivities this year. owing no doubt
to the closeness OF the times which
occasioned 4 lankness Of the pocket
book, and the inability to procure
presents TO distribute among friends.
The NJ. f., Episcopal and Congre-
gational churches, however had
their usual Christmas trees on Crist-
mas Eve for the Sabbath School
children, all OF which were very
creditable and we'll attended.
THE CONGREGATIONAL TREE.
The tree At the congregational
church was the most beautiful one
ever displayed in the city, and de-
serves more than . passing notice.
It was composed Of two evergreens
reaching nearly to the ceiling, M
placed on each side Of the pulpit
and arched at the top, with q large
and beautifully decorated cross in
the center. The body and branch
es Of the trees we're wound with
cotton, leaving the evergreen show
here and there giving it the appear
ance Of being covered with snow.
1t was a very beautiful and attract
i've tree and excited the admiration
of all who saw it. The church was
comfortably filled at 7 o'clock and
the exercises began with some fine
music by the choir under the direct
of Prof. Sabin and Mrs. Mallory.
After q few remarks and . prayer
by Rev. Sabin, a lunch Of assorted
cake was passed to all in the room
at the conclusion Of which, Prof.
Sabin and Mr.. E. C. Ericsson and as
sistants proceeded to unload the tree
Of its numerous presents, and made
the hearts Of the little ones glad.
The tree contained some very fine
presents, although none very cost
ly. We were unable to get a de-
tailed report of the doings at
THE NJ. e. CHURCH
although we learn that they had a
very fine tree and the hearts of all
the children who attended the
Sabbath School of that society were
made glad with presents. The
following report OF the doings at the
EPISCOPAL CHURCH,
has been handed us.
Parents aud children of the
Episcopal Sunday School met in
St. Andrews Church on Christmas
Eve, for their annual festival. Not
withstsnding The severe cold there
vas a very good attendance. The
services consisted Of prayers Christ
mas Carols, and an address of the
to parents and children,
after which all were treated to a
light repast, Of which there was a
and to spare. The children
and parents had a merry time, and
\ joyful Christmas eve.
Mr.. Hines the Rector OF the
Mission, made some remarks both
10 the parents and children of an
interesting and practical character,
had we space we would like
10 report, but ought to say, that
MIR. H. as u Missionary among us
for the last six years has given his
personal attention with his excel
|ent wife to the right and faithful
training Of the children and the
poor and neglected have not been
forgotten in their Christ-like work.

On Wednesday of last week at
2 p. m. az Lewis johnson was enter
ing Beggs store he discovered the
building owned by by Phinneas
Phillips on Main street to be on fire,
the building was occupied up stairs
by Mrs. Leggett, and down stairs by
Wesly Halter. Mr.. Williams ran
across the street and informed the
occupants who Immediately attemp-
ted to reach the upper story but
could rot for the fire and smoke.
Just how the FIRE started is not
known but is believed To be a defec.
tive fue.
1t was seen at once by those who
gathered at the scene that the first
building could not be saved from
destruction. and the next building
Mr.. Burdicks was so near and so
large, that attention was directed
to removing Mrs. Bigelows. Ropes
we're obtained and fastened to it.and
many willing hands with axes
chopped at the studding to weaken
it, but after all effort it was found
impossible TO remove it in time to
escape flames which famed by .
stiff northwest breeze were rapidly
advancing eastward While these ef-
forts were being made everything
was being done to save the Rowe
building, comfortablss we're hung
down beside the building and
drenched with water, but all 70
no avail, the Bigelow building on
ere the fate Of the Rowe property
Was sealed, and it was soon on FIRE.
The great question all this time had
been will the FIRE cross the street.
By the side OF Nemings building
was piled . large lot of green cot
tonwood lumber. It occurred TO q
townsman that to set this lumber
against Flemings building and satu-

A Lacrosse dispatch to Mime

returned from tour Of the Black riv-

fortunate as to accidents among men.
A careful review shows that four chop
pers have been killed by falling trees,
and fifteen badly injured. The last
fatal accident was in John Paul's camp
on the east fork The man was bur
led at the camp, and no one knows
him. No winter was ever better for

on Black river and Tubula river will
be 20O,O0O0OO feet.

a Terrible Accident.

Duluth Herald.
A man whose name could not be
learned was engaged in working on the
Iron Range road last week at fifteen
mile camp met with a very peculiar
and fatal accident. 1t seems that the
men were engaged widening out cut
and when a blast went off the man
was standing below it. \ piece of
stone was broken out which was of tri-
angular shape and in falling struck
him on the neck completely severing
his head from the body. 1t was not
known where the man lived or where
he had any friends and the company
buried him.

Mr.. PAYNE, the new Democratic
Senator from Ohio, is also at the head
of the Standard oil company, and is
not in favor of the civil service reform,
although his party III that state has
protested to be very much in love with
the theory. But their professions, it
seems were not sincere in this respect,
any more than they are in any matter
of political reform, and so Mr.. Pen
dleton. the father of the civil service
reform laws, such as they are, was
shamefully sacrificed for the monopo-
list Payne. One of our exchanges al
luding to this matter, closes its re-
marks thus: Mr.. Payne, of the Stand
ard Oil Company, monopoly before
which all other monopolies having an
existence under this government fades
into insignifcance, taps his bullying
barrel and Mr.. Pendeleton and his
civil service bill is thrust aside, while
the unterrifed join hands and circle
round the oily king singing:

SWOre Himself.

Montana is a queer country, and
fashioned rules and regulations are
sometimes set aside without any more
consideration being given than one
to repealed statute. The latest case
i'll point is that of Postmaster ]. W.
Toohey, of Birney. In due time after
receiving his commission he made out
his quarterly report, and as it was nee
nessary to verify them by oath before
IL notary or other person empowered to
administer an oath. he was in quand-
airy. His place is over eighty miles
from this city: and no neighbors 9TH

", he concluded that rs he had made
the report, he might as we'll swear
himself, which he did accordingly and
forwarded the papers to Washington.
In due course of time the papers were
returned to him, accompanied by
letter telling him there was no prece-
dent for him swearing himself, and
that he must acknowledge before
notary or other person authorized to
administer the oath. His reply to the
department was Immediately forward
ed, and was to the effect that he knew
of no precedent which would entitle
him milage and expenses to go hun
dred miles to be sworn, and that if it
was not satisfactory they could get
another man to run their mail shop.

now swears himself regularly. Vel

Every man is placed, in some de

ly so as to overwhelm him, if he bears
up manfully, and with stout, logged
will. In the battle of life we may be

n Montana Snake story.

Late last evening, while strolling
about the cliff or rocks north of the
town, says a Phillisburg correspond
ent of the Butte Miner, seeking a rare
and despicable looking gramnivorous
bug peculiar to the locality, Herman
Kaiser, peered into assure that at
tracted his attention, and beheld
sight that momentarily paralized him.
In this hole, about two feet from the
surface, sweetly sleeping in bed of
granite sand lay an immense rattle
snake. The reptile was frozen stiff as
a worm, and, of course, in an approach
able condition. This Herman knew
and so he lost no time in securing his
prize. Reaching down into the cav
ity, by passing his hand through the
stifiened coil he managed with a great
effort to pull the vermint out into
daylight. A more beautiful skin than
this never graccd the back Of snake.
Herman raised the hattened head,
with its baleful, glitterlng eyes closed
in icy sleep. Taking his knife out
he carefully pried open the monsters
mouth and with a dexterous ease ex-
tracted its deadly fangs; this done,
he took his prize home. His snake
ship, by actual measurement is II
feet, A. inches long, inches through
the middle, has q rattles and q but
ton, and may be seen by those curious
~ inclined, ut any hour of the day at

neighbors could not wait for the exc
