Clirisliuas at tbo Hospitals,
Our brave boys who are Buffering from wounds or
sickness at the hospital* enjoyed, on Monday, a
splendid dinner furnished them by the liberality of
Mrs. M. O. Egbert, of Petroleum Centre, Tenango
county, Pennsylvania, a young lady who la atill in
her teens, and has been a bride only a little more
than a year. Young as she is, her benevolence has
already made her famous and loved, not only by
those who have partaken of her bounty, but by all
who can appreciate her frequent aots of kindness to
our soldieis. The donation of *:>,ooo wMoh she
made, to be appropriated to Christmas dinners at
our hospitals, worthed many a brave heart which
heat in sickness, at the thought that oftr volunteers
Bre.nby.er forgotten, in sending the money to her
most Intimate friend in Philadelphia, Mrs, Egbert
accompanied it with a letter, an extract from which
was read on Monday at all the hospitals (thirteen in
number) which were recipientijof her bounty. The
letter was intended to be strictly private, but Mrs.
Egbert’s friends Hi Philadelphia, knowing that it
could not but be interesting to the soldiers, re«
quested her permission to have It read to them.
Her consent was given, gracefully but with relno
taneh. The extract which was thus read is asfoi-’
lows: Egbert Farm, Dec. 6, ISM.
Mv Dear Mbs, ****** —Your telegram and,
letter have been reoeived. You think the probable
exnepse oi the dinner would be $1,050. wo wJH
send sou a draft for. *5,000 this morning, and wish
you to do all the good you can with it for our poor
soldiers. We oannot do enough for them. A
Ohristmas-dlnner given every Aay would not be
dotogJSw'them half wbat they are sacrificing for us.
The noble bo vs! It makes me happy to know-we
can do something for the comfort.and enjoyment of
those whohare so nobly fought, for us, and are still
alvtnirthelr lives freely in defence of the Union,
iwavOort bless those who are still In the field, offer
ing un'their precious lives, and the stole and
Wounded in the hotpitals. Who but a noble soldier
would leave friends that are near and dear to him,-
and the many ebjoyments of a happy home, to fight
for our country 1 They have my earnest prayers
and blessing, and may they emoy their Christmas
dinner as much as we enjoy giving it to them.
I have one dear brother in the field, but where I
cannot tell. How happy would it make me to give
him a Christmas dinner, but that cannot be, and I
must be content by giving one to others, remember
ing' that they are asdearto their Bisters as mine Is to
me. d would ask for no greater pleasure-than to
be there to see them enjoy it I wish It was so that
we could oome, but yon must write us and give ns
the fnll particulars of it. When I first proposed, to
thi Doctor* about giving the dinner, I did not know
what he would think about lb, bnt he thought it a
good idea, and said wo .would send you ,» telegram
and see how much wo would, have to send.
Mrs.—— —I am proud of my. husband, and I
think I have a right to be. He is always giving to
the peer and needy, and is ever willing to help those
who need help. I don't think there is another man
ijkehlm. Perhaps you will smile when you, read
this, and think mo foolish for writing it, evott if I.
think go, 'but \can’l help writing It to you; * • *■ *
E, P. Egbert. •
•Her husband.
(The money sent was distributed among aU the
hospitals in and around Philadelphia, exoept the
Chestnut Hill Hospital, which/being already well
supplied, gratefully declined the contribution. Mrs.
Egbert’s donation constituted the principal part or
the funds devoted to Christmas dinners in the other
hospitals. Our report of these dinners embraces all
the information whioh we were able to obtain from
the officers to whom we applied. .Any omissions
w hioh may have occurred are not duoto neglect of
ours. ‘ *
M’OLBLLAN U. 8. A. GENBEAL HOSPITAL.
The tables extended the entire circle of the corri
dor, seating over a thousand men. As the arrange
ments would not admit of speech-making at the
tables, religious and patriotic aervioes were hold in
the ohapel at 10 A. M., nnder the superintendence
of the chaplains of the hospital. The room was
tastefully decorated and filled to its utmost capa
city. The-oeremonles were introduced by a national
air from the band, whioh was followed by services
from the Church liturgy by Chaplain Shrigley, by
a hymniby the hospital choir, and by prayer by
Chaplain Crouch. After this Chaplain Shrigley
Spoke os follows: '
Remarks oit Chaplain Shrigley.—As we as
semble around these tables, laden with the bounties
of Divine Providence, the Same of gratitude and
love- should arise from every heart to Him from
whom Oometh every good and perfaot gi/t. Dot us
likewise thank Him tor the measure of health that
we' enjoy, for the friends by whose society we are
surrounded, and for the prospects opened to ns In.
subduing the rebellion, and in the restoration of
peaoetoonr.lbng-afflloted country.
The Chaplain here read Gen. Sherman Christmas
despatch to the President, which elicited “three
hearty cheers for Sherman.”
For nearly four years, the darkest In our national
history, have vfe been afflicted with oivll war.
Father has been arrayed against son, the son
against the father, and amah’s enemies have been
those of his own household. You, who will soon be
enjoying a “ least of fat things,” have left your
peaceful homes, and the society of those yon meat
love, to'
‘ * Fight in a cause that is dearer than life,
Or crushed in its ruins to lie/ ’ ’
And those who hgve been happily exempt from
the trials and hardships you have been called to en
dure, desiring to give you another evidence of their
heartfelt gratitude for your devotion to our good
old flag and the interests of millions yet unborn,
have prepared the bountiful repast which will soon
be spread before you, ■
And while, as I have said, cur offerings of praise
should ascend to-Hlm who is the author of all good,
it is well tor us to know to whom we are specially
Indebted for the substantial dinner which will grace
the tables of this hospital to-day.
The plan was matured and the arrangements
made under the Immediate supervision of Dr. Lewis
Taylor, U. S. A., surgeon In charge of this Institu
tion, and the success which will, without doubt, at
tend the enterprise, entitles, hlin to your warmest
thanks. The interest he has'ever manifested inthe ::
welfiue of those'-plao.ed nndar his charge, and his
liberality, displayed; onforhier festive occasions,
speakjnore powerfully his praise than oan any words
We hive likewise been favored with a liberal do
nation by Mrs. M. C. Egbert, of Petroleum Centre,
VeningO bounty,.Fa.
The Chaplain then read Mrs. Egbert’s letter, as
given above. ■ t
You are likewise to remember our indebtedness to
our earnest and faitbrnl friends of the « Penn Re
lief,” who are always ready, with hand and heart,
in every good word and work. They have been with
ns in summer’s heat and winter’s cold, like good
Samaritans, ever ready to administer relief to the
sick And wounded, regardless of Beet .or. party.
They have their reward. In your rejoicings to-day,
do sot forget that we are celebrating the return ot
Christmas, the birthday of Him who has justly been
Styled “ the Saviour of the world.”
Chaplain Orouoh followed in a few pertinent re
marks.
The services at the chapel being concluded, the
company repaired to the dinner-tables, which were
well fiUed not- only with- the subslantials, but with
many of the delicacies of the season; pies there

In their comfort then met In front of the hospital,
when the band ployed some popular airs, ana
speeches were made by Bev. B. F. Miller, late
chaplain of the 119th P, V., and Prof. Bhoads. I
think tho ability with which this hospital Is con

ing feature In the entertainment was the reading of

THE THEiJEK-tAWB HOSEXTAL.
There was certainly a gay atiitliappy time at this

with pleasant associations suggested rby the.* event.
The soldiers deslrb its to thank jffis.-Bfcfiart and the

to them at different times,
Mr. E. F, Spafford, the steward ofithe hospital,

happy. The dining-room and wards were pa
triotically and handsomely decorated with flags,
plotnree, evergreens, and red, white, and bine rib
bons, and flowers of varied hue; so attractive, in
deed, that the spectator could scarcely realize the
faotthat the place was a hospital, where many of
onr brave soldiers had suffered from sloknesa and
tbetoldierinvho
upon their beds to a table especially prepared f6r !
them. Flowers from the hot-house added the perfume
of spring loveliness to the smoking vfands on the
table,
■ At two o’clock the bugle sounded, and the " boys ”
found no difficulty in responding. Cheerfully and
happily they marched and filed along the well
fllled feßtlve boards. The chaplain delivered a
brief address suitable to the occasion, and then,
after having asked a . blessing, the Important ana
Interesting oeremony of dissecting turkeys,chickens,
geese: ducks, &0., progressed in a really scientific
style under the Immediate direction orMr. Spafford.
The hoys were well and promptly served,- and they
relished the good things spread before them with
peculiar gusto. The poultry : and “ fixlns ” were of
the flmest quality—young and juloy and not too fat.
There were some visitors present, all of whom en
joyed the scene with feelings of pleasure, while the
soldiers evinced their gratefulness.

BATTERIES HOSPITAL,
In anticipation-of Christmas, ovew effort had
been cut forth to fit up the house, and give it a holi
day aspect. The corridors both north and south,
each Stretching over a distance of 800 feet, were
adorned with evergreens, colored papers variously
cut, and a profuse display of the national oolors.
The entrances to each of the thirty-three wardß had
been most tastefully ornamented with designs of
skill and beauty. Great credit is due to the mem
bers of the several wards, whose taste directed, and
whose skill executed, these beautiful designs. Over
the entrances of many of the wards were found: the
names of the faithful and popular surgeons iu

names of Dra. Armstrong, Crowell, A. -A. Smith,

Characters. Prominent among these Gen. Wash

onr popular President was also displayed in large
letters. Attention was also given to adorning the
ohapel; The chasteness and beauty of the designs
reflected great credit upon those who got them up.
The reaaln groom also was adorned nnder the su
pervision of the ladies who, week after week, so
generously contributed their time, and labor, and
money to promote the well-being and happiness of
onr sick and wounded soldiers. These adornings,
besides being a commemoration of the day, werein
tended as a preparation forthe munificent feast pro
vided by the generosity' of Mrs. E. T.'Egbert. Of
the *6,000 contributed by this generous lady to the
hospitals of this Department, SatterlOe received
$1,750. This sum was to provide a dinner for zuora
than 2,500 men. The long tables of the north and
south corridors, covered with white table oloths,
were furnished with China plates, caps, and sau
cers, glass tumblers, and ornamented with vases
Of artificial flowers. .A comfortable chair; Invited
each to a seat.. Among other noticeable things was

been more than repaid by tho sight of. tho hundreds
of -happy faces that surrounded these. well-filled

Satterlee Band, and nnder the approving smile of

the wards this sentence was traced, “Thanks to

of this vast-assembly; every one from their hearts
bleated tbegenerous donors. 1 1
TO those who wore unable to go to the tables,

THH BROAB-STRBET HOSPITAL.
If the noble lady whose Christian liberality
prompted her to donate five thousand dollars for the
»~l)ers.of the Philadelphia hospitals had been at
Broad and Cherry-streqte Hospital yesterday,
would undoubtedly have experienced the truth
-of the Saviour’s declaration, “It is more blessed to
-give 'than to receive'.” After prayer by the Rev.
I)r. Brainard, about five hundred soldiers,-many or
whom were made cripples for life in the defence of
liberty and Union, partook of a most sumptuous

see the soldiers,” but to comfort and console them
wKh motherly tenderness, tarnished an abundance
of apples, mince pies, Ice cream, cakes, etc., for the
evening .entertainment, bat as the surgeon in
charge deemed it unnecessary and injurious for the
soldiers to have this evening feast, after the sump
tuous dinner the above named articles were made
an appendage of the Egbert feast.
We must not forget to mention that the splendid
hand belonging to this hospital^recently organized
by the surgeon In Charge, Dr. T. C. Brainard, con
tributed handsomely to the interest of this occasion.
In the evening at 1% o’clock commenced the In
tellectual feast, opened with some appropriate-re
marks by the chaplain and prayer by the Bov. Mr.
Woart.
At first this entertainment threatened to ha a
complete failure In consequence of the absence of
the Invited singers and speakers through the Incle
mency of the weather, hut It turned out in the end
to be indeed a rare treat.. The BlUglng, oonduoted
by Mr. Baker, was excellent, and the addresses by
Kcv. Messrs. Saul, Bonham, Durboro, and others
kept the large audience In breathless silence, Inter
rupted frequently by'bursts of laughter and api
plause, for more than an hour and a half.
At 9 o’olock the-bugle gave notice that, the time
for closing the hospital had arrived, apd tbe meet*
