SANTA CLAUS 1 VISIT TO THE SABBATH
SCHOOL AT ST. PAUL.
Notwithstanding the Inclement weather
a large cnii>eny of parents and friends
apseinl Atd at St. Paul Church on Monday
evening to witness the distribution of
presents to the Sabbath School children.
The ladies of the ehuroh, with their usual
good taste, had beautifully festooned the
walls'of the audience room. Suspended
from the wreaths wore Japanese lanterns,
which threw a soft light on tho “central
Idea" of the occasion, which seemed to be
s pyramid of good things erected within
the chancel at the head of the middle
aisle. After the ehlldron had sung a few
beautiful and appropriate songs they were
made happy by receiving bags well filled
with fruits, candles, nuts, And other good
things.
Among the children of this school are a
great many little ones under tho charge
of tho pastor’s wife—many of them “gath
ered In” from tho poorer classes of the
city. We arc told that this good lady has
eighty-five children now under her charge.
These little faces brightened with grati
tude to tho school, and to their faithful
teacher, as the latter distributed to each
of them a bag full of edibles.
Many of the teachers, also, received
handsomo presents from their classes.
The occasion was delightful to all who
witnessed it.
This school is In a growing, healthy con
dition, and promises to do a groat deal of
good for the church and community. The
Pastor, Superintendent and Teachers are
all earnest and devoted to their’work.
PBESBYTESIAN SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Tho pupils of the Presbyterian Sunday
School had a pleasant affair Monday
night. The pupils, members of the
Church, and a number of friends were
present.
Professor Chase presided at the organ
and furnished delightful music. The
singing was highly enjoyable, but above
all other enjoyment was that of the chil
dren when they received their presents
from the Christmas treo. It was a pleas
ant reunion, and will bo long remembered
by the pupils and those who wero present.
FESTIVAL AT THE BAPTIST CHUUOH.
Last evening the spacious and hand
somo church building of the Baptist de
nomination of this city was the scene of
one of the most interesting and beautiful
Christmas festivals we have ever soon.
Many littlo hearts were rendered glad by
the beautitul display and the bouuteous
distribution of “Christmas goodies.” The
arrangements for the festival were tom
plto. On the pulpit stand, which is built
on the order of a stage, was a real house,
a snow-house, opening to the front and
filled with all sorts of good things. ’Twas
quite puzzling to know how the ladles had
managed to make a snow-house when not
a flake of snow in this section lias fallen
in a year or two. But there was a snow
house and the imitation could not be de
tected unless by the closest observation.
Our own fleecy staple, the salvation and
curso of tho South, King Cotton, furnished
the substitute. The cotton was carded
into tine rolls and sprinkled with crys
tals. These spread over tho roof and
wreathed around the columns of tho
house, under the light of a strong reflect
or placed at the opposite end of tho au
dience chamber, looked like real snow. In
tlie yard, that is, on tho corners of the
stage and fronting the house, were placod
cedar trees, These wore sprinkled with
little pieces of cotton and added much
towards perfecting the snow scene. The
whole was surrounded with a ruslio
fence, likewise covered with snow. Not
withstanding the unfavorable weather
there was a full attendance. The school
was out in full force, and each child re
ceived a gift. Among the presents were
warm shawls and dresses for the needy
children, and we know their hearts will
bo ttiankful tor these free gifts.
The singing of the children was tine.
The entertainment was completely suc
cessful. The arrangement and work was
devised and executed by the ladies of tho
Ohurch, assisted by some of the gentle
men. [Wo are requested in this notice to
thank Mr. George Fierce especially for
tho Interest evinced and the substantial
aid given by him.]
The following was the programme:
Music on the organ and song by the
School; prayer by Rev. Mr. Campbell;
remarks by Dr. Hood, Superintendent of
the School; distribution of presents.
The ohildren of tho Baptist Sunday
School will not soon forget their festival
given on the Christmas of 1876.
AT ST. LUXE CHUBCII.
Santa Claus appeared in all Ids glory,
surrounded by his band of fairies. The
audience room of the Church was beau
tifully decorated* with festoons, wreaths,
Ac., of evergreens. Santa Claus' house
was a real novelty—a miniature house
within a house—with his front yard of
(lowers as real and natural as life; and he
was really to be envied, so cosily was he
fixed up. Ills house was literally filled
with good things for the children—oornu
coplas, packages, Ac. And when he
lighted up his mansion and sent bis fairies
out to distribute presents to the little
ones, the scene was beautiful; and to see
the pleasure it gave them to receive, was
a pleasing 6lght, and one long to be re
membered by tho pupils and friends of St.
Luke Sunday School.
This festival was decidedly the festival
cf the Christmas season. In one corner
of tHb- ttago was a fairy house, in which
dwelt a fair maiden, the queen of the fa
rles, and six fair-haired little misses, who
were the fairies; and, indeed, they looked
perfect fairies as they emerged from their
sylvan retreat at the summons sf the two
imps of Santa Claus, sent by the old man
to call them. These little fairies camo
down into the audience with silver bas
kets laden with ail kinds of good
things and the store house of old Kris
rapidly replenished the baskets borne
back empty. During the exercises a cal
cium light was flashed from the stage;
the effect was very pretty, but the smoke
from the flash ascending to ;the upper
part ol the building caused quite a cough
ing among the portion of the audience lu
the gallery. The Imps of Santa Claus were
though kind-hoarted yet frightful in ap
pearance and one poor little child in the
audience was terribly frightened by their
horrid looks.
The church building was packed and
jammed. Every niche was filled and half
the people Inside were standing. Many
left at the door unable to get in. We were
late in getting there, and succeeded
only in getting onr peepers inside the
door long enough to see that the affair
in its arrangement was a complete and
a perfect success. Whoever personated
Santa Claus and bis Imps deserve credit
for their good acting. The Fairy
Queen and her fairies were beautiful. The
I singing by the choir was fine. Tho deco
ration of the church ami the design of the
stage was complete. But with it all the
question constantly came Into our mind
as to whether such exercises had not been
more appropriate In tho Opera House or
some other place than the church.
We doubt If there was a happier or
more Joyous party In the city than gath
ered at the residence of Mr. Jus. A. Brad
ford Christmas morning. It was com
posed of bis children ami grand-ohll
dren, numbering about thirty, assembled!
by his Invitation to receive presents from
a heavily laden and beautifully decorated
Christmas tree. On the topmost branch
was a card bearing tbe name oi the tree,
“Grand-Pa,” and for every one, from the
wee-toddler to the bearded nmn, It bore
an appropriate present
TRINITY CHUBC'H IN BBOWKEVILLK.
The members of Trinity Church In
BrownovlUe had a nice entertainment at
their Church—music, and singing was
Interspersed with the presents. The
Christmas tree was very pretty, and held
a present for all of the little ones.
COLORED CHURCHES.
St. John arid St. James held Christmas
festivals at their respective churches.
At St. James, one of the members was
dressed in a suit on tho order of one de
scribed to bo worn by Santa Claus, and
dispensed presents to the children. The
Christmas trees were very pretty and
tastily arranged, and all of the children
had s present.
The Baptist Church near the river also
had a Christmas tree, lid Terry, the
superintendent of the Sunday School,
presided. The tree bore a present for
every child who had been attendent upon
the school. The whole affair was a very
creditable one, and highly enjoyed by rll
present.
A Pleasant Kurprfse.
Mr. R. J. Binford, who is a teacher In
Bt. Jjuke Sunday School, vras presented
on Sunday morning-by his class, compos
ed of a dozen young ladies, with a beauti
ful picture, entitled “To Thy Cross I
Cling.” It was given as a token of their
esteem for him, and tho surprise was as
great as the compliment was merited. As
soon as ho could sufficiently recover him
self, ho very gently brought forth a hand
somo library of books and presented to
the youngladles, and they were os much
surprised as their teacher had been. It
must have been exceedingly ploasant to
both teacher and class to have thus been
mutually remembered.
Christina* Day.
It rained here off and on all day Christ
mas. This kept In doors the hundreds of
people who otherwise would have throng
ed the streets, and made Christmas day a
greater success. But the absence of
ladies from the streets and the small
crowds of iren shivering on the corners,
made everybody exclaim, “this is the
dullest Christmas I ever s iw." While it
was dull to all of us who have seen so
many, yet there were hundreds of little
ones just old enough to enjoy this their
first Christmas, and to them it seemed a
sort of Elysium.
Merchants complain that trade was
dull, and the toy stores that Santa Claus
did not invost heavily. A good deal of
whiskey was destroyed, but not many fire
crackers popped.
HLEGANT TREATS.
If It had not been for the liberality and
generosity of two or three of our saloon
keepers, Christmas would have been a
complete failure, as far as tho male por
tion of us were concerned. They made
the wot and cold endurable, and all during
the day, whenever a vision of an eggnogg,
or a punch rose up bwforo you, all you had
to do was to walk into one of these places,
and It was set out free of cost, and freely.
AT DAVE’S SAMPLE KOOMS
an elegant lunch was set. It was more
than a lunch for a long , table
groaned beneath roast pigs, turkeys, oys
ters, salads and everything that was good
Alex, the clever mlxturaloglst, wus ready
to help you to any kind of a drink, while
eggnogg was served in proportion. It
f|as one of the best “spreads” we have
seen In a long time. Everybody voted
the Sample Rooms a success, and we wish
for Its gentlemanly proprietor long life
and happiness.
BUM, Eli
gave his annual Christmas treat. Ho had
such an affair as he always gives, aud the
public know how he provides. In addi
tion to meats of every kind, he furnished
wine, eggnogg, and all “straight” drinks
yon could ask for. Crowds wore lunched
and everybody enjoyed themselves.
LIN OK
was largoly patronizod. He had ns fine
Chatham Artillery Punch us you over
tasted. There was no danger of its giv
ing out, for ho had plenty of it, and dis
pensed It free. To say it was good does
not express It. It was better than good,
and just as nice as Linck knowed how to
make it.
HIGHWAY HO 11 It A: IIV AT GENEVA.
THE ASSASSINS ARRESTED.
Geneva, Ga., December 25th, 1878.
Editors Times: There was a murderous
assault made Saturday night last on the
person of Mr. S. Jacoby, as he was going
to supper. The assassius only got about
$3 dollars from his vest pocket after
knocking him senseless. They thought
he hud a large amount of money, having
been in tho store the evening before, and
seeing some $309, and knowing ho usually
carried his money homo with him at
night, they waylaid him in the thicket
in the dark and perpetrated the deed.
There are now four of them arrest
ed and in custody. The proof is
strong against them. They are all color
ed, and named Willis Shirby, Harris Bry
an,Charles Shirby and Nelson Dixon. Mr.
Jacoby is very painfully but not seriously
hurt.
Tho preliminary trial comes off on the
26th.
Mrs. Jacoby had carried tho money
from the store In the evening before night,

whole amount. C. C.

The First Dollar.
Many years ago a gentleman from the
town of Methum, Mass., while on a visit
to a prominent merchant in Boston Was
asked by the merchant!! he knew a boy
in Methum that he could recommend to
work in his store. At first the gentleman
could think of no one, for he knew none
#
but ft faithful, honest boy would suit the
thrifty merchant. At length, however,
he called to mind a boy of excellent char
acter in his neighborhood, but feared be
would lmrdly do, as his parents were very
poor, and he had no other advantages to
to fit him for such a position.
But the description of The boy’s habits
pleased tits merchant so much that lib
the gentleman a dollar with
which to pay i lie boy’s fttro .o Boston by
stage,BKd''"ftquWted him fo send tbe lad
to the city, and if on a personal interview
all should not prove satisfactory he would
pay his fare back homo again. The gen
tleman, as requested, visited tbe boy’s
parents, and, stating the merchant’s pro
posal, advised them to send the boy for
trial. lie then gave him the dollar which
was sent to pay his fare to Boston, and
departed.
Under the similar circumstance*ninety
nine out of every hundred boys wouM
have said, “Now for a good time. I
never saw a city nor never rode in a stage.
Oh, there will be so much to see and it
will be such a long ride, and here is money
sent to pay my fare.” Not so with ibis
boy. Putting the money carefully ia his
pocket, he said to himself, “This is the
first dollar I overbad, how I wish I could
save it. It is only twenty-five miles to
Boston. I can walk there in a day. I'll
do it and save my dollar,”
His mother patched up lits clothes as
well as she could, and early next morning
tho little follow parted with his parents at
the door of their humble home, and set
out on his long tramp to the great city,
which he reached, tired and dusty, a little
before sunset. Uesoon found the mer
chant, who sternly asked, “Where have
you been all day? The stage Came in.
hours ago." The boy thought li had
displeased 1 lie merchant at tbe outset ,and
with downcast head and tremulous voice
he answered, "I did not come on the stage.’
What do you mean? Didn’t I send money
to pay your fare?”
The boy thought it was all up with
him sure, and amid gathering tears he
nuvniged to reply, “I am very sorry, sir
—I did not mean to oflV nd you. I thought
I would walk and save the dollar. I nev
er have had one before.”
Placing his hand gently upon- the
boy’s head, the merchant replied, “My
little man, you did exactly right. .Come
boms with me Jtnd get some supper.”
Then turning to a bystander he remarked,
“I wouldn't take a thousand dollars lor
this boy to-day.”
That boy has grown to manhood, and
has since become widely known in busi
ness circles, lie is now owner of the ex
tensive mills at Metluieu, the Pemberton
mills at Lawrence, a banking house in
Boston, and one of the finest farms in
Massachusetts.
Carelessness.
Our exchanges are filled with eases of
persons burned to death, either by Care
lessness or kerosene oil. Wdfiope .Christ
mas festivities will not be marred by
such accidents here, but would advise all
classes of people to be partiottlar. Nine
tenths of the aeeldi idx that are reported
are the results of absolute carelessness.
Keeps kerosene lamp full of oil, aud
explosion is impossible, but fill it half
full of water and pour oil in until the
lamp is filled and a general "bustification"
is expected.
Kerosene, properly used, is not half so
dangerous us is snpposed, but put it in
the hands of irresponsible and ignorant
persons, and no element of danger is
more fatal to life and property
