The Christmas entertainment given on
Thursday by 81. Peters school was novel
and decidedly interesting. The chief fea-
ture was the reading Of a book of original
Christmas stories. written by the pupils,
and showing a great deal of originality and
thought. Even some of the little tots con-
ttibuted their share, and the way in which
they handled their subjects reflected great
credit on the excellent training they have
had. Thu stories were bound together and
fastened with a handsome cover, the first
page being designed by Miss Nj. G. Wheeler
with an appropriate Christmas emblem, g
bunch of holly and the word christmas
written in gold across the page. An appro.
pirate etching Of three miners cabins, exc
cuted by DR.. Foote, adorned the back OF
the cover. The whole was tied with narrow
scarlet ribbons, and presented a mos
artistic effect.
