Christmas Exercises.

|
The Christmas exercises at the sew
eral Bridgeton churches were unusu-
ally interesting and profitable At the
Commerce street and Central M. E.
Churches the system inaugurated last
year of bringing eatables and articles
of clothing as contributions for the
worthy poor of the city, was continued
with still more happy results. Bags of
flour, roasts of meat, turkeys, geese
chickens, whole sheep, potatoes, mus
Inns, boots, shoes, blankets, calico, and
lots of other valuable things were de-
posted at the altar, and on the follow
ing day there was a general distribu-
tion which made many hearts glad
Together with all this there was in
teresting singing and speech making
exercises at both churches.
At the Trininy M. E. Church the
Sunday School scholars were treated
to an old-fashioned Christmas enter
tainment. The Presbyterian Sunday
Schools, the Baptists, and Episcopal
ians, all held appropriate services. At
st. Andrews Church there was very
handsome decorations in both the au-
dience room of the church and the
Sunday School. AT the chapel of the
First Presbyterian Church the Sunday
School children were out in force.
Attractive stereoscopic views were
thrown upon a screen, while Kriss
Krinkle appeared in the chimney of

Greenwich Items.

When few more enterprising citi-
zens shall have set up street lamps in
front of their DOORS Greenwich street
will be tolerably well lighted on dark
night. Being a much shaded roadway
it is a very dark drive on a moonless
night. Mr.. E. NJ milford did not put
his light under bushel but set it
some distance back in his yard so that
passers-by may behold the lamp and
yet not be in danger of being blinded
by its brilliancy.
The people here seem to have en-
joyed their Christmas as much as
usual, although in quiet way There
was no public festival or fun-making
except that the Baptist congregation
decorated their church and had Kris
Kinkle and his sleigh to amuse the lit
tie ones. A good many bags of sweets
were given away, and not little
amusement was afforded by the antics
of cold Kris"

ask for the whole world, and act as if
they would be more than glad (when
the Legislature is to be organized), to
secede from the Southern part of the
