Christmas Trees.

The Christmas tree at Phoenix
Hall on Christmas day was very
pleasant affair. The hall was brill
iantly lighted, the decorations COM
plete, and the tree was loaded with
presents, for many of the little peo
pic and big ones as we'll. Supper was
taken at six o'clock and the after.
noon and evening was passed by
those present with the greatest en-.
joyment, with due appropriateness to
the occasion.
The tree at the Sisters school
house on Christmas Eve was
heavily laden with gifts to the many
pupils of the school, which were
distributed to the donees amid much
mirth and happiness.
No Christmas tree was given
at the Methodist church
as noticed in last issue, but instead, q
Christmas chimney was erected in
the church, through which Santa
Claus descended and gave out his
gifts and good things. This was some
thing new and hugely enjoyed by the
children.
