About one week before Christmas

arrangements for Christmas tree at
the Disciple Church, but instead of
tree three magnificent arches were
neatly arranged, and loaded with use
ful and valuable presents. Atan early
extent. The exercises commenced
with prayer by Prof. Pierson, of Hiram,
followed by song by the Sabbath
School. Then dispatch was received
that Santa Claus was coming, and
would arrive in about seven minutes.
Prof. PiersOn was called upon and
made very appropriate speech, at the
close of which old Santa Claus made
his appearance, loaded with all sorts of
gifts, which were scattered among the
children, then taking his departure
amid loud cheers from the crowd.
Then followed the distribution of the
presents, ranging all the way from a
dust pan to gold watch. On the an
nouncement by the Committee that
The program was ended, tht audience
dispersed, each one feeling that he had
had good time.

Case of Mistaken Identity.

On Christmas eve.. Kent trio, com.
posed of two brothers musically in-
clined and certain Knight of st.
Crispin, were vending their way
homeward from a saloon on 1.-THE
flats" High words passed between
them and the musical brothers deter
mined to give the shoemaker drub-
bing. The brains of the men were
somewhat muddled with the frequent
potatiOns in which they had INDUCED,
and the fight became g free for all'
one. The elder brother mistaking the
younger one for the shoemaker,
pounced upon him. The shoemaker
took to his heels and left the younger
brother lying upon the ground, while
the older brother was disfguring his
cOuntenance with heavy blows from
his fists. He continued the pounding
till the younger brother yelled
enough !" when the fight abruptly
ended. 1t was a clear case of mis-
taken identity.

Now there is a great chance for the
straight haired buyers of this commu-
nifty to show their colors, and take a
firm stand in regard to the lottery
crsze. A great many people think
like the two darkies who were stealing
chickens; one of them belonged to
the colored church, and when they
found the roost and filled their bag
half full, one of them says, Sambo,
don't you know this is wrongm He
says, Yes, but we have no time to
talk religion now; so hurry and hand
down another pullet." VanNess

Those who failed to witness the pro-
duction of IA Diamond Mystery" at
the Opera House on Monday night
missed one of the best performances of
the season. The play is very clever
one and was well rendered, each char
acter being well performed. The com ,
pany was worthy of a much larger
house, but the weather was bad, besides
we are in the midst of the holiday
season and have had surfeit of amuse-
ments of late, which will account for
the slim attendance.
