At the Baptist Church.

owe never had a pleasantcr Christ
mas gathering" is the report that
comes from the Baptist church. There
was brief exercise by the young peo-
pie and then Pastor SandfOrd spoke on
the subject uppermOst in the minds of
all-Christmas. He specially empha-
sized the thought that in none but
Christian lands is Christmas observed
or the Christmas tree possible Then
came the distribution of gifts from an
unusually heavy ladened tree. Every
body got something and jolly time
into the bargain, and the little church
echoed with the laughter of the little
folks. Christmas at the Baptist church
was also q great success.

At st. Andrews.

st. Andrews church was very neatly
decorated. The usual services on
Christmas eve was held. The presents
for those members of the Sunday
school who had been most faithful in
their attendance were not given out
until Sunday morning, when Is were
thus remembered. They were books
of general character and were very
handsome presents. Christmas day,
services were held as is customary,
Rev. F. S. Fisher preaching the ser
mon, emphasizing the thought that, as
Christ was gift from heaven to earth
SO are all the gifts of life from above to
those who are below. The sermon
was rich in thought and appropriate to
the day. The services on Sunday also
partOOk of the Christmas season and
altogether were both pleasant and
profitable

, Lecture i'm Three Sentences.


In Justice to DR.. Vincent, who gave
his talk on "The Chantangua Idean
last week, it should be said that the
change in the subject was the cOmbin-
ed Judgment of the committee and DR..
Vincent, the purpose being to give the
people the best and most profitable
lecture in the Doctors list. In justice
to the committee it should be said that
they are a ong-suffering body of men,
who are striving hard to give the peO-
pie of st. JOhnsbury good course of
entertainments that they are succeed
ing admirably and that they should
not be criticised as Il reward. In jus
tice to the audience it should be said
that it is generally mistake to make
any change in an advertised program
of any sort

Inventors seeking Patents

To secure which with facility requires such long
experience and thorough cOnversance with the laws
and technicalites relating to American and foreign
patents find in Mr.. X. n Eddy of No. 20 State St.,
Boston, xpert second to none For a long series
of years. we have with pleasure commended him to
all seeking patents in any part of the world, as a
leading and most successful solicitor in this line
lIhough our patent laws are more liberal than
considered before taking out patent: the value of
the invention; conflicting claims as to its patent.
ability; the proper manner in which TO present the
application TO the commissioner; desirability of Sc.
curing foreign patents, etc. Mr.. Eddy's know
ledge and judgment in these matters have been
proven in long and honorable practice; and he is
in every respect eminently qualified to furnish the
best of advice being perfectly familiar with the
patents already granted, and posted on all points
regarding patents.

well as interesting reading. AS many
of these beautiful books go into homes
where such things are more or less
rare, their value is doubly enhanced,

giver more than ever priced. After
the books were distributed the plate

gifts for any benevolent object or other
purpose, the birthday box was opened,
and after superintendent Fairbanks
had given every child a nice orange
the exercises closed.
The birthday box contained $49,28.

offerings designated to special objects
there was $6s. 35 for a committee to

A Joke With an Application.

"Why are the st. Johnsbury police
like electricity ?" asked Hank White at
the minstrel show Thursday evening
OF course they all gave it up, and the
ex-legislatOr answered, because they
are an invisible force" But the day
following the police gave Il practical
and visible exhibition of their abilities
in their raids on the rum dealers. Now
let them follow up every place where
there is the slightest reason to suppose
liquor is illegally sold and drive out
the dealers. Then they may well be
compared to electricity which WOrces-
when excited by friction, has the pow
er of repelling other bodies"

At South Hall.

'Mr. Hardy, at the academy is get
ting more presents than any Other man
in town." remarked a person the day
before Christmas, who had seen Mr..
Hardy carrying out of the pOst-office
whole arm-fulls of packages. The let
ters and bundles began coming a week
before Christmas and poured in upon
him to the last moment.
None but those who room in South
hall know just how much Mr.. and Mrs.
Hardy have done to make the student
life there pleasant. The short recess
made it impossible for any number to
go to their homes for the holidays, so
they were all invited into Mr.. Hardy's
parlOrs Christmas eve. He had only
to intimate to the parents of the stu
dents that he was going to have a
"tree," when the letters and presents
began to arrive. The young ladies
and gentlemen arrived later on, just
after the exercises in the churches
Thursday evening. There were some
lively games to start with, and then
the tree, with the modest Messrs.
Bangs and Kyburg for gift distributors.
The presents from home were genuine
surprises to most of the students and
everybody got something, besides hav-
ing lots of fun. The boys in room 81
generously presented Mr.. Hardy with
leather strap to be used on the boys
in room 80, and good many of the
gifts were suggestive of school jokes
and were received with sallies of
laughter. There was over $50 in
money on the tree and many gifts were
of considerable value and all practical.
Among all the Christmas gatherings
in st. JOhnsbury it is doubtful if any
were more thoroughly enjoyed than
the one at South hall.

A Chautauqua Circle.

A Chautauqua social and scientific
circle was organized at the Methodist
church Tuesday evening. The notice

there were Is present, and number
of others have signified their intention
of joining the circle. These officers
were elected: President, Rev. L. l..
Beeman recording secretary, Ellis
Moore corresponding secretary, E. A.
Silsby. The vice presidents will be
chosen at the next meeting which will
be held Thursday evening, Jan. II, at
the Y. NJ. G.. A. hall. All having any
thought of joining the circle, or those
desiring to follow out the course of
reading privately are specially re-
quested to be present at the next
meeting. The course of reading COW
ers series of subjects of profound in

than profitable to any who may take it

A General SURPRISED.

A party of the friends of Gen. and
Mrs. HI. X. Ide gave them genuine
surprise last evening, the occasion be-
ing the eighteenth anniversary of their
wedding. The party met at Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Kinney's on Church street
and advanced to Gen. Ide's in body.
The company included three persons
who were present at the wedding.
During the evening refreshments were
served of oranges from Mr.. Ide's Flor
ida grove, grapes, etc. After these
had been disposed of followed the event
of the evening. Rev. E. II. SandfOrd,
in behalf of the friends, presented Gen.
and Mrs. Idle with Il very beautiful sill
yer tea service, making appropriate
reference to the Generals return from
the war and the wedding that soon
followed. Mr.. and Mrs. Ide expressed
their surprise and pleasure at this re-
membrance. After season of social
enjoyment the little gathering broke
up with the feeling that they had been
well repaid in the pleasure given theil
host and his wife.

on Railroad street, the horses ran up
broke down the posts in front of Union
block, and rushed up past the bakery.
Here one horse took one side of tree
and the other horse the other side, and
this divided interest brought a sudden
collapse. The injury to the team was
slight, but the risk to people who
were on the street was great. Luckily
no one was hurt.

thought best to dispose of him but he
did not get out of town without show
ing his disposition. A youth led him
into the post office Sunday noon when
the office lobby was crowded with peO-
pie to get their mail. Another dog
happened to be present. The two
dogs met and the lobby was cleared of

Venus at Midday.

Venus has just passed its greatest
elongation to the eastward of the sun
and is increasing in brightness as it
approaches us. If we know where to
look for it it may be seen in the full
light of day. Prof. Bracket of the
academy found it Tuesday afternoon
about half-past two o'clock and gave
an opportunity to many pupils and
passers-by to see it with the fine tele-
scope belonging to Rev. Henry Fair
banks. In the telescope it appears
now as beautiful crescent, like the
moon when near it's first quarter.
Coming nearer, the crescent will grow
narrower, but it's increase in apparent
diameter more than cOmpensates for
the narrOwness and accounts for the
present increase in brightness.

CHRISTMAS IN ST. JoHNsBURY.
How the Day was Celebrated.

Christmas was thoroughly 'observ-
ed" in st. Johnsbury. Thursday all
was hustle and excitement among the
expressmen and the little folks. Slip
perry as was the travelling, people
somehow managed to get round, but
the loss of the good sleighing undoubt-
eddy kept many from the surrounding
towns at home, resulting in decided
ly quiet trade for the local dealers.
Christmas eve was all that could be
desired. The stars shone as bright as
on that first Christmas eve, and there
were apparently very few in this vi
cinity who were not merry. Most of
tue. churches were filed with people
and the numbers of brightly lighted
private residences gave evidence of
the jolly times the young folks were
having within.
