Santa Claus at the Nj. E. Sunday School.
The children of Centenary NJ. E. Sunday
School, this city, were made happy on New
Years night by visit from old Santa Claus.
After they had assembled, and their faces
were radiant with smiles in anticipation of the
many good things they were to receive, the
hymn l'Unto Our Father, Cod" was sung.
Afterwhi the Infant class favored the au-
dience with song suitable to the occasion.
Miss Jennie Lambert then recited in a clear
and distinct voice, which could be heard all
over the room, choice selection. This was
followed by duet-"Larboard Watch'-by
Miss Jennie Zepp and Mr.. Frank Mitten.
The jingling of sleigh bells and blowing of a
horn announced that Santa Claus was near.
All eyes were turned toward the rear of the
church, and in few moments, to the great
delight of the little ones, their eyes rested on
the old man himself, clad in a great coat of
fur, seated in sleigh loaded down with con-
fectionery, oranges, &c. After driving his
team to the front part of the room, where he
could get good look at all, he pronounced
them good children, and began to distribute
his presents, each scholar receiving a large
box of candy and an orange, and the Infant
class, who seemed to be his favorites, were
presented with banana extra. After the
presents were all disposed of, Santa Claus
took his departure, promising to come again
if they were good children. The pastor, Rev.
George W. Heyde, made an address and ex-
pressed his appreciation at seeing so many
present and such an interest taken in the
work, and spoke very encouragingly to the
school, which is in prosperous condition
under the management of their popular super
intendent, Mr. Samuel X. Herr.

On last Friday night week the NJ. E. Church
at Patapsco was filled to its utmost capacity,
the occasion being a Christmas service given
by the Sunday School of that place. The

green's and flowers. Two large Christmas
trees, one standing on each side of the pulpit,
were heavily loaded with Christmas presents,
CONNECTIONS, &C., and beautifully illuminated
with wax candles, added to the display. The
services opened by singing the hymn,
SOY to the World, the Lord is Come,
reciting the Apostles; Greed in unison, and
by prayer. After which an opening address
of welcome was delivered by Willie Shamer.

arranged, the exercises well selected and the
performances executed with entire satisfac-
ton to all present.
The holidays with us passed off in the usual
quiet manner, save some masquerading par
ties on Christmas Eve and several companies
of New Year shooters, who enlivened the
at an early hour on New Years
morn. On New Years eve crowd of men
and boys put three charges of powder in
white oak on the land of John Blizzard. One
charge was exploded and the other two re-
main If all had been exploded the tree
would have fallen on building used by the
Patapsco Band. They also loaded white
oak log belonging to James Goslin. 1t
was split in two. Several outbuildings were
upset and other fun INDUCED in.
The discussion of the question, 'Should
women have the right of sutfrage?' came off
on last Wednesday evening, and was decided
in favor of the fair sex.
