A novelty in the way of Christmas en-
tertainments was that given at the Third
Congr egational church on Monday night.
After short and appropriate programme,
an immense sleigh, drawn by two rein.
deers, appeared upon the platform. The
sleigh was geily decorated, and contained
about three hundred and fifty presents
which were distributed with many
bright and witty speeches by Mr., Orus
Mannon, who acted as Santa Claus. The
sleigh and it's decorations were designed
and erected by the pastor of the church,
Rev. ]. ii. Collins, who thus proved his
ability to do more than one thing we'll.
There are good many ministers who
can preach we'll, but not many who
could also successfully plan novelty in
the way of Christmas entertainment.
