In order to enrich the blood, and thus impart fresh vigor to an enfeebled system, stimulate Tagging digestion with the national invlgorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, which, by infusing energy into the operations of the stomach, promotes, nay, insures thorough digestion and assmila- tion, and consequent nutrition. A gain to appetite, vlgor and flesh, is invariably found to follow a course of this deservedly popular tonic, which is, moreover, a re. liable preventative of malerial levers.

A GENEROUS GIFT.
Rev. Dr. Todd,s Christmas Eve Sur-
 prise,

Rev. Dr. Todd's Christmas Eve Sur
 prise.
 On Sunday morning last a thoughtful member of the Church of the Redeemer came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea to make their faithful pastor, Rev. Dr. Todd, a Christmas gift To carry the happy thought into effect he stationed him self in the vestibule of the church and speak ing to few of the prominent members as they entered he revealed to them his plan and found that they were in full accord with his scheme, and they at once pledged liberal sums for the object proposed. A few mis- slves sent to other members who were not at. church met with like generous responses and the result was that $850 were very easily col lected. This amount was turned into gold and last evening committee called at Dr. Todd's residence on Trumbull street and handed him the amount, asking him to re- ceive it as slight testimonial of the high re- gard in which he was held by his parishion- CTS. The doctor was completely surprised. not having had the least intimation that such project was on foot. He was quite over come by this generous expression of good feeling, but after moment he rallied and in most happy manner returned thanks to the committee and through them to the other kind friends who had so generously remem- bered him

A pn.EAsrNG SIGHT.

Tho one Hundred and Seventy
 Five Children of the English Hall
 Sunday School Made Happy Yes-
 terday at Their Christmas Tree
 Festivities.
 English Hall presented pretty appearance yesterday afternoon with its mass of running pine, which nearly hid the ceiling from view, and with it's large Christmas tree trimmed with popcorn, paper flowers and candles, at the rear of which was platform covered with presents for the Sunday school children, about 175 of whom sat around the hall, in their different classes, with smiling faces and occasional eager looks towards the pile of presents. The teachers oe the scho ol were also present, as were many visitors, prominent among them being Judge s. A.
 York, Mir. Hiram Camp, MT. Foster, Profes- sor Whitney, Professor Norton and Professor
 Harris Shortly after 4 o'clock Rev. John O..
 Collins called the children to order and the opening song, entitled "Prince
 of Peace," was sung by the children
 and teachers in a very pleasing manner. There were then responsive readings by the
 chi dren and another hymn, after which Professor Harris made prayer. Rev. MT. l Collins then mounted the platform and made the announcement that the presents | would now be distributed, which caused the | children's eyes to dance with joy in tn II expectation of receiving some handsome present, and one little boy was heard to say | to his sister, 'fI wonder what good MT. Col | lins will give me-" The presents were dis
 tributed according to the standing the chil- l dren had made for themselves during the
 year in the Sunday school They receiv- ed presents ranging in value fro m
 $1 to five cents. It pleasing sight to see the children as they received their pres 1 ents hurry to their seats to examine them and l show them to the other children and laugh ] and talk over them as if nothing else in the world interested them in the least. One of 1 the most interesting features of the festivi ties was the collection of @ small box from each one of the children which contained the money they had saved up for the Sunday schoo | during the past year. The affair was one ot | the pleasantest that has ever taken place 1T English Hall, and was due to the open heart edness of Rev. MT. Collins and the teachers of the school among whom are: Assistant | Superintendent L. w. Cleaveland, Mis-: Whitney, Miss Trowbridge, Miss Woolsey
 Miss Bickford, Miss Root, Miss Robbins
 Miss Newton, Miss Bennett, Miss Chapman
 and F. A. Lewis, the organist. Each o
 these teachers, besides fixing the decora | tions, had turned in for the occasion five te | ten dollars.

Mail Car On Fire.

The postal car attached to the train due in Bridgeport from New York yesterday morn ing was discovered to be on fire as it round. ed the curve near the Naugatuck shops. Buckets of water were obtained from the en zine and the fire was with difficulty e1- tinguished but not till much mail had been damaged. The rush of the Christmas gift matter is now very great and the car was jammed so full with bags from New York that nine sacks and pouches had to be left there. The fire is said to have originated from the eater
