MESSAGE FROM THE EAST
 A WELCOME XMAS GIFT.
Received from Dickson H. Leavens by
 His Parents on Christmas Day.

An unusually welcome Christmas IT. mesSage was that received on Monday by Francis J. Leavens of this city from his son, Dickson Hammond Leav- ems, who Is at the Yale mission, Chang sha, China The telegram, dated Dec 25, reached here on the same day, owing to the fact that the other side of the world is a day ahead in respect to time. It bore the words Merry Christmas" and so implies that all are safe and that there Is quiet at Vale in China in spite of the troubles that for the past few months have been rife in and about Changsha. MT. Leavens considered the message one of the most desirable Christmas re- membranes ha could possibly have received.
 For two months or so telegraph communication with Changsha had evidently been cut off, but t now seems to have been re-established.

 HAS GAINED A FOOT.
Is Now 132 Inches Below High Water Mark and Due to Gain Quite a Little More.
