people enjoyed themselves at dances,
card parties and Christmas trees.
The various denominations here
all had Christmas exercises and treee,
and in each particular everything was
beautifully carried out, and all the
children, and teachersl as we'll, were
the recipients OF many beautiful
presents.
The Methodist had arranged a
beautiful program and their tree was
simply marvel Of beauty, while the
exercises were somewhat lengthy
they were nevertheless very appro-

Christmas time is not devoid Of it's

and threw them on the corner of
State and Meeting street, as a result
"there was like of crashing of win
dow fronts. as was never heard be-

feet of glass was broken from the
explosion
The behavior of our people was
generally good, very few drunks and
everybody seemed to have a good
time. One young man, however,
while over in the city got little too
''boozy" and fearful of the reproach
Of his family, seeing him in this
condition, decided on reaching the
canal to drown his cares and fears
by jumping into the water. After
bidding farewell, he plunged into
the mighty deep, but the cool water
soon cooled him off and his friend
with the assistance of others, rescued
him and brought him home.
