On Christmas eve, our good citi zens filled the auditorium of tin* M. E. Church to overflowing, and en joyed a beautiful and well rendered program of music, recitations, dia logues and a closing cantata. Some of the most interesting features that were new and greatly enjoyed were the recitations of several primary scholars of the Sunday School, rang ing from four to live years of age. also "A Woodsman recital," in which a lover of the big trees of our forests prevented a woodsman from robbing his old home of its kingly beauty, was appreciated. The clos ing recitation: "The Flower CSar den," in which a wall of flowers was represented aud roses were made to bloom on the stage, and from the centre of each flower a little girl's face appeared and spoke and sang, was unique. The Sunday School treat and pres ents were many and tine. We know that we express the sen timents of all our citizens when we say: that our town has a profound appreciation of all intellectual and religious ortbrts that are put forth by our young people. A merry throng of children took part in the exercises at the Baptist church Christmas night. The church interior was most beautifully decorated with evergreen showing much work and skillful art. Many were the presents that hung suspend ed from the bended branches of the large tree, and the hearts of the children throbbed with joy when candy was liberally distributed at the close of the exercises. The recitations were carefully se lected and rendered with pleasing effect by the scholars, who were in spired by a large and appreciative audience whose great delight with the entertainment was in evidence throughout, and highly commented upon at the close. Much credit is due to those who labored so faith fully to make Christmas cheer so joyful for the little folks, and teach ing them the good lesson of life— "Heboid, if God so loved its, we ought itlso to love one another." Will Stay Here and Keek Work. From Philadelphia inquirer. There is no truth in the report that Ellery P. Ingham and Harvey K. Xewitt, who left the penitentiary free men it few minutes after mid night yesterday morning, are to leave Philadelphia to brgin in some new field the practice of law. It is their intention to remain in this city. Yesterday Mr. Ingham made the following statement: "1 wish to repeat that I am not guilty of the crime charged against me. 1 have suffered much; my good name litis been taken from me; my profession lost, my family apparent ly disgraced. 1 have but one solace —the knowledge of my absolute innocence, and but one hope—that the future may reveal the truth and establish our innocence. The re mainder of my life will be devoted to that end, and 1 hope, and I have reason to hope, that our vindication w ill not be long delayed. "I have not and never had any intention of going to Cuba or else where to practice law or engage in any other business. 1 expect to live in Philadelphia if I can find employment, and 1 shall not leave Pennsylvania. In this State I have lived my life, made my friends and gained a reputation for honor and honesty among decent people. It was here where my awful loss was experienced, and it is here that I intend to bear the cross that has been hewn for me until the same hands which placed it upon my shoulders will be glad to relieve me from the burden. "As far as my experience in pris on is concerned, I have received only kind treatment from the officials, and 1 leave in good health and spirits. My darkest days have been made bearable by a clear conscience, and I have been sustained always by a belief that there is a Clod who will in the end right the wrong which has been done to me and re store to me my good name which was lost through no act of mine." Mr. Xewitt concurred in the above statement, which expresses his in tentions as well as those of Mr. Ing ham. —Mr. Win. Fraley of .New Or ange, X. J., spent Christmas with his family at this place. lie was ac companied by Master Carl Pinkie. —Chas. Haight, formerly in the undertaking br.siness at Forksville, has moved ti.
