The Ster says: The children and
other parishionerso Emmanuel Church
were greatly favorpd in their Christ
mas Entertainment in tho Old Court
House, Inst Saturday evening. The
stereopticon exhibition was a great
success every way, and every one was
loud in their praises of Mr., Robert
Parry of Wilmington, who freely
favored the parish with his splendid
stereopticon and beautiful views. Mr..
Parry Is over 30 years of age, and
though he possesses the yigor and
yivaoity OF a man of60, OF late years
he has made study OF the "magic
lantern, and finds much pleasure and
recreation In using the results OF his
ingenuity and enterprise for the enter
tainment OF others. His kindness the
other evening has been thoroughly ap-
preciated. The Old Court House was
packed with the children and their
elder friends, and, together with the
stereopticon, the time was pleasantly
taken up with singing Christmas carols
and distributing the candles and cakes.
