Choice refreshments were served to the little folks after the presents had all been distributed, and we had our eye on some grown up people who did not seem to object to be counted in with the children just then. On Monday evening, at half-past six o'clock, the Congregational tree was light ed, and presented quite an attractive ap pearance.

PURLIO SCHOOL EXAMINATION.—On Thursday andFriday of last week, a pub lic examination was held at the Union School. The exercises were quite inter, esting, and covered examinations in spel ling, (verbal and by sound) reading, men tal and written arithmetic, grammar, geo graphy, &o. We were glad to see that much attention had been paid to reading, and we hope that in the coming generation the proportion of men and women who oan read a paragraph or article and give to each word and clause it proper expression, will be much more respectable than now. Physical exercise is one of the features of the school. Indeed, when we say that the Normal School system has been adopted, our readers, who know anything of thework. system, will understand that the method of instruction and training in the Union School is the best known. While the schol ars exhibited a degree of self-possession that was remarkable, and certainly had no parellel in our school-days, there was noulars, no misbehavior. The evidences of progress are marked. The school hasimproved greatly since work was commenced under the present auspices one year ago. There is evidence'of faith ful labor on the part of the teachers, and all who were present at the examination heartily acknowledged that they had done well.

RIOT—For 'some days past a riot has been progressing among apart of the work men engaged on the main line of the Northern Pacific It was caused by the absconding of Gregg & Co., who had sub contracted work from Smith.

THE GOOD TIME COME.—The patent so long held by Wheeler & Wilson forthe four motion feed sewing machine, has at last expired, and an extension has been refus ed. The day has gone by when a machine costing but from $15 to $30 can be sold at from $60 to $125. We see that the American Shuttle Sewing Machine Compa ny, of Detroit, are first in the field with a machine embodying all the best features of the more costly article, and while their machines are in every particular, ae per fect in their adaption to all classes of work as the Wheeler & Wilson, Grever ft Baker, and Singer, they are now disposing of them at prices ranging from $25.to $40. This IS* certainly an immense reduction, and its effeots are already to be seen in the large orders received, and the large ship ments made daily by the Amervsan Shuttle Sewing MachineCompany, 115 Bates street, Detroit.
