At the Sea-Shore.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., June %, 1886.
Friend El,-As write this l am sitting
on the porch, surrounded by the angry waves
of the Atlantic, watching the little ones dig
CLAIMS and eat them. The weather is delight
full here, and oh, what an appetizer this sea
breeze is! If my family and myself work up
a greater appetite than we have at present
our landlord will repent Of his agreement to
keep us. We are having grand time, boat
ing. sailing, fishing and catching salt oysters
and clams-and what fine fish we catch! The
moment your line touches the water you
have weak fish, sheephead, blue fish, or
drum-and crabs, either soft shell or hard
shell, all you can carry home. If the sea is
too rough or cold for bathing, we can take
hot or cold water salt baths at the hotel. We
have one of the most desirable locations in
Atlantic City. The season will not be fully
opened until tomorrow, and then we ex-
pect a gaia time. Well, methinks 1 sniff the
breeze from the kitchen, and my appetite
" In arms and eager for the fray" Our
Harry has just come in from the beach with
his little spade and bucket of shells. will
write again.
Yours Respectfully, BONANZA.

The Zion Sabbath School held its Christ

Eve. The school had cedar tree IA feet
biqb. which stood in the rear of the church,
beautifully decorated with presents for the
children. The programme ofthe evening con-
sisted of twenty five single speeches and dla,
Ioques which were interspersed with vocal
music. The exercises began at q O'Clock,
with singing, ''All hail the power OF Jesus
name" BY the audience, and prayer, by the
nastor. After which the scholars rehearsed
their pieces in very creditable manner before
the large audience. After which Mr.. j. w.
buckingham treated the audience to two COM
ical pieces entitled, dutch Preacher and
HOuack Doctor" The speeches filled the
audience with laughter and were much en-
loved. All who we're connected with the ex-
ercises did what they could to make the an
n;yersary success, and it would be partial to

On Tuesday night, December 29th, a Christ
mas entertainment was given by the Sunday
School of Pleasant Grove NJ. E. Church,
which proved to be of unusual interest. The
audience room was filled beyond its seating
capacity. The church was beautifully deco
rated with evergreen covering large arch,
wreaths, and cross, which were further
beautifed with paper flowers. Two Christ
mas trees, almost touching the ceiling, arose
from each end of the platform, each burdened
with fruit most tempting to the eyes of the
little folks.
The exercises were mainly as follows
About half dozen Christmas carols by the
whole school, interspersed throughout the
programme an opening address by little
girl; a quartette, "Mighty to Save" by two
ladies and two gentlemen solo by young
lady; responsive readings; little speech on
s'Tobacco," by little girl; two dialogues,
one s'Self Denial" by FIVE children, and one
'Choosing Trade" by nine young men; ex-
ercises by the infant class, consisting of reel
tations and singing combined; reading by a
young lady, entitled "a Sermons" and rec
itation by seven young ladies, entitled .'Christ.
mas Chimes" as the ladies were going to and
from the stage, bells representing the chimes
were rung by unseen hands.
All the exercises were of chaste charac
ter, BETTING the place and cause, and the
manner in which the children and youngpeo
pie executed their parts evinced both talent
and training in their special work.
In addition to treating the children, the en-.
tire congregation was waited on with cake, o.
which such an abundance was brought thai
after it had been passed around several times
the supply was not exhausted The audience
finally dispersed, many pronouncing it the
most enjoyable entertainment of the kind they
had ever attended

tnris,mn, Services in Uniontown.

As we sat among the hundreds assembled
to hear the rendering of the Christmas service
entitled "Hope of Israel, by the choir and
Sunday School of Uniontown Methodist Pro-
testant Church, we could not refrain from
comparing the school of 1961-when we first
knew it-with that of 1885. Then it used the
simplest music, without an instrument, and
mode of teaching equally as ancient. NOW
all the modern usages have been adeptea and
ms frst-c class city churches and highly edu-
Gated musicians would select. This was fully
proven at their recent entertainment, with
Miss Kate McCollum, one of CarrolPs most
accomplished organists, at the organ, accom-.
named by Messrs. Howard Zolickoffer and
Harvey Routson on their comets, and Mr.. ID:
A. c. Webster as leader, when they crowned
themselves with honor well deserved.
A committee of ladies, consisting of Mrs.
George Routson and Miss Sallie Weaver, as
sisted by Mr.. Milton Starr, had entire charge
of the entertainment; and we move they be
appointed permanent one, as 1t has seldom
been our pleasure to witness and enjoy more
pleasing affair. The decorations were not
quite so elaborate as in former years, but
were chaste and lovely. Over the pulpit was
a large arch covered with pine, surmounted
by a silver star and candles, containing the
motto Hail Messiah, Hope of Israel" and
on one side of the pulpit large white star,
with lettering signifying "Jesus, our. STAR
and on the other a white cross with ivy and
white roses trimmed gracefully aboutit. The
bank of evergreen on the organ filled with
roses was exquisite, and reminded us of the
lovely character and life of the originator.
'What's Xmas For?' by. Rev. DIR. Ward,
was we'll read by Miss Sallie Sponsler. Every
class bestowed gift upon their teacher, such
as glass, silverware, slippers, albums, &C.,
and every teacher remembered their class
with cards and other offerings, besides the
usual treat of candy and oranges.
