The reception given the st. Johns
bury guard and band by the Y. M. C..
A. Tuesday evening was a very sue
cessful affair. Tables were spread in
the gymnasium for over rs and every
seat was occupied. After a bountiful
supper prepared by the ladies of the
association the company was called to
order by F. A. Dakin of the entertain
ment committee, who called upon c.
E. Putney, president of the assOcia-
ton. Mr.. Putney welcomed the WISH
tors in behalf of the association and
made some very happy illusions to
army life. In response to the senti-
ment, "CO. d." Capt. A. w. Roberts
made short speech making gallant
illusions ut the close to the ladies who
had prepared the feast of good things.
The st. Johnsbury band came next
and Mr.. Herrick was called up and,
after declaring that he couldn't make a
speech, went ahead and made CAPT
tai one. Gen. H. X. Ide came next
and, i'm place of remarks read CHOW ST
Klegg spent his Christmas" IL sketch
of army life. The next sentiment Of
fered by TOastmaster Dakin was "The
press" responded to by Z. H. Walcott
of The CaledOnian, and then followed
"Our commissary department" to
which Foster G.. Stevens responded,
admitting that he had shown his APP
probation of the feast by eating not
only his supper but his breakfast.
General Secretary Page then answered
the call for the association. After ex-
tending a cordial invitation to those
present to make free use of the privi-
leges of the rooms, he read letter from
Col. Estey, who had been invited to be
present. The reception was decided
success and very much enjoyed by all
who were present. One of the
pleasantest features of the evening was
the singing by male quartette con-
sisting of E. A. Silsby, C. L. Page and
VIM. c. Tyler and brother.
The following evening another sup
per was served and reception" Civ

At the North Church.

Christmas eve at the North church
was made the most of by the Sunday
school, The exercises were varied
and interesting. After brilliant or
gan voluntary by Organist Nelson the
church choir sung "Is He Coming"
the solo being taken by Mrs. Hazen.
After singing by the school, u prayer
and responsive reading, a Christmas
exercise published by Asa Hull was
taken up and gone through with. This
was interspersed with the singing of
carols, and some readings by Misses
Abby Brown and Isabel Perkins. The
music was rendered by the school, a

the church choir, and Mrs. A. ID. Row
ell, Misses Helen Brooks, Ida Penni-
man and Mary Fairbanks, and Messrs.
A. O. Baker, w. c. Tyler, VIM. A.
Woods and Frank Brooks. The carol,
"Wonderful Night" given by Messrs.
Humphrey and Silsby and Mrs. Humph-
reg and Mrs. Hazen, and the male
quartette, rendered by Messrs. Tyler,
Baker, Humphrey and Silsby, were
especially good. After six minutes
address by Mr.. Lamson in which a
good deal was said i'm short time,
Ex-G Gov. Fairbanks distributed his text
book prizes, feature of Christmas
which he has observed for several
years past. To each of those children
in the juvenile department who had
attended church every morning through
the year and kept a record of the min
ister's text, he gave reward. There
were 81 of these children the past year
and to each one he gave an elegant
book in which he had written the
scholars name. AS he called theil
names these little folks came forward
to the platform and received theil
gifts. 1t was a pleasing sight to SET
the joy on the faces of these boys and
girls as they grasped their prizes anC

At the South Church.


When the clock struck seven Thurs
day evening the South church was fill
ed. The young people of the Sunday
school occupied the front seats and the
older folks brought up the rear. Fes-
tOOns of evergreen adorned the pulpit
and platform, and big pile of oranges
and any number of well-filled candy
boxes adorned the table below. Prof
Henry Fairbanks, superintendent of
the school, presided.
The young ladies "rang out" a
Christmas carol to begin with, and the
superintendent read the old Christmas
story as told in Luke. Then came a
double duet by Misses Bracket, Web
Der, Hall and Webster and a solo by
Miss Ely, "One sweetly solemn
thought" which was very sweetly rem
dered. After another carol by the
children, little Miss Daniels appeared
very prettily singing the solo to "Gen-
tly falls the winter snow" and Mr..
May followed with a solo, "Nazareth."
Then the pastor, Rev. Edward Fair
banks, gave a hearty Christmas greet
ing to all present the South church
quartette, Mrs. Wallace, Miss Weber
and Messrs. May and COnant, rendered
selection and Miss Hattie Morse sang
very effectively IA solo, awake, arise"
An anthem by the chorus was followed
by responsive readings and these by a
solo, "My heart ever faithful" by Miss
Webber, whose rich contraltO voice
added much to the pleasure of the
service.
After another carol, Mrs. Wallace
sang with remarkable power and OK
preston, "In verdure clad" and Mr..
Stafford gave reading. Still another
carol was followed by a solo, "The
watchful Shepherds" finely sung by
Miss FennO. The next number was a
quartette, so, holy night" by Misses
Hall and Webster and Messrs. Finel
and VanBuskirk, Mr.. Finel singing the
solo. One more solo, that by Mr.. Co
nant, "Hail to Christmas" and carol
by the chorus closed an elaborate pro-
gram that was very finely performed.
The solos in particular were admirably
rendered.
During his remarks Rev. Mr.. Fair
banks made special mention of the
good services rendered the South
church congregation by the members
of the choir, paying them II well de-
served compliment. After the concert
the boxes of candy and the oranges
were distributed among the children,
who went home voting the entertain
meat an unqualified success.

Merry Christmas was observed in the

THE LYNDON TRAGEDY.

The death of drunken husband and

the hand of another, is but the legiti-

and carrying deadly weapons. The
event carries it's own moral. We could
fill our paper with the testimony and
details of the affair but we think the
jist of the important testimony will suf-
flee and so will not repeat and amplify
a disgraceful and wicked affair to the
exclusion of better reading.

At the Methodist Churchs.

The preparations at the Methodist
church had been shrouded in mystery.
On Friday evening the church was fill
ed at the appointed hour with very,
very little people and some who were
considerably bigger and older. A
large green curtain was suspended just
back of the altar rail which only serv-
ed to intensity the curiosity of all.
After prayer by Pastor Beeman and
remarks by Superintendent Bailey and
two or three recitations and songs by
the children, the bells on Santa Claus
reindeers were heard jingling in the
distance. A moment after the curtain
was thrown aside and revealed a regu-
lar old -fashioned fireplace and kitchen
scene. There was the mantel, the can
dies, the popcorn "welcome," and the
stockings and an ancient clock that
struck IL when, 10 and behold, old
Santa himself dropped down the Chin
ney and was greeted with applause by
the expectant children. OF course his
pockets were filled with presents for
all and two assistants and half dOz-
en- misses were kept busy for over an
hour delivering the gifts among the
audience. 1t was an immense success
and the novelty of the arrangement
pleased the children very much. Su-
perintendent Bailey generously an
nOunced at the close that if any had
been omitted in the distribution of
gifts, they had only to call on him and
they would be provided for.
The Methodist Sunday school closed
the Christmas festivities Sunday even
ing with Sunday school concert.
