The Eve, Day and Night Appropriate ly Celebrated by Young and Old.

The public Christmas trees and exercises by the children of the public school at O'Toole's Hail on Christmas night, under the auspices of the teachers was a very pleasant affair and will long be remembered by the dear little ones.
 The exercises by the children having been concluded, the stage curtains were pulled aside and two beautiful Christmas trees heavily lcaded with everything imasinable were exposed to the view of the children and audience.
 Mel Greenleaf took the part of Santa Claus and distributed the many Christmas presents. Mel. played his roll well and lis many witticisms kept the young and old alike in hilarious uproar.
 The many school children were all remembered on this happy oc- casion and those who were instru- mental in blaming so pleasant a surprise for the young and giving their parents and friends an op- portunity of seeing their childrens advancement in education and spending SO enjoyable an evening, are deserving of the greatest praise.
