CHRISTMAS MUsIc.-The different
church choirs of the city will render
some very fine music on Christmas
Day which, it is said, will surpass that
of previous occasions. In some of the
churches. in addition to the organ, an
orchestra will render the instrumental
music. The music at st. Mary's
Church will not be as elaborate as ID
previous years, owing to the sickness
OF several members of that choir dur
ing the time of the rehearsals. There
Will be no services at the Baptist
Cbnrch and the NJ. E. Church South on
Christ mas Day, but the choirs OF both
# those churches will render an un-
