BRINGING JOT TO MANX HOMES.
During the past week many of the
people of Xewtown, Sandy Hook and
Hawleyville have been kindly remember
ea Dy benator M. J. Houlihan, who pre
sented Rev P. Fox, pastor of St Rose's
church, with a large number of hams for
distribution among the deserving poor of
his congregation. In these days of want
and general depression, when the ever
willing heart and ready hand cannot find
that employment which once carried
cheer and joy, comfort and happl-ess, to
the dear home and family circle, it Is a
sweet aud consoling thought to know
that we are not forgotten by kind and
Christian men whom fortune has more
favored. Thia verily is charity, true and
Christian and worthy the imraitation of
our more aflluent townsmen. This
marked generosity on the part of our
genial senator will gladden many hearts,
bring cheer and joy to many a Christmas
table and many hearts will unite in wish
ing him and his happy family a merry,
merry Christmas and many returns of
the happy Christian festival. -
