A Visit to (be (burrlira PBEStSKTS FOB THE SUNDAY SCHOOL • if* ciinupunfAc. m %P 1 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, or the ruffians would have obtained the whole amount. C. C. ABOVE COST.

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 AT KIIIVEN'Ii. lllack Alpacas, worth 50e. only 40c.
