These comfortable hoods are made up in many

gray and cardinal, white and other colors being
deemed the best for the purpose.

The Lewiston Journal says there is no reason
why hens should not lay in winter. 1t may also
be observed shat there is no reason why eggs
should be dearer in winter. There are many
things in this world that persist in flying in the
face of reason, prominent among which are
hens and the price OF eggs.

The Christmas Entertainments.

The Methodist Sunday school entertainment at the the church, was the most beautiful, artistic and valuable one, we presume, ever celebrated in Prescott. The music was most excellent and appropri- ate, the address of Judge Smoote most poetical and entertaining, the large crowd most orderly and at tentive. On platform scross the church were five evergreen trees laden with costly and pretty pres ents, The beautiful little baluS- trade. en front part of platform strung with oranges and apples for the children; the ''beautiful gates" in the centre, nicely decorated; the tables laden with costly gifts, ar ranged so as to show off nicely; the trees lighted up with colored wax tapers; the appearance of San ta Claus, in holiday attire, talking and bestowing presents to the children; all presented picture that will long remain pleasant memory to hundreds of our peo- pie.
 The Christian Sunday school en- tertainment was also a splendid success, and the large cedar tree was most nicely decorated, with numerous nice presents, besides fruit for the children.
 The Cumberland Presbyterian entertainment was very elegant and pretty, and presented a beau tiful appearance. The essay of Mrs. Maud Kirkland on Christmas was appropriate and well read. A revolving garden, with evergreen tree in center, (presents arranged in garden and tree) and two small CT trees, one on each side, in short describes the arrangement ill de- tail. The children also received nice fruit here.
