The:1n11ualLbrist111as festival of the
Norwalk Congregational church was
held last; evening. A v cry large nonme-
grtion gathered at 6' .45 in thoclmrc.h
and the Christmas service entitle d “Tht'
Greatest Gift” was charmingly rcndci'et'l
by the children, assisted by tho choir of
the church. The duct by Miss Hattie
P1n'ker and Maud Koolor, "The Bright—
est and Best." was deserving of special
mention. The. recitatious by the child-
ren were all finely given and evinced
careful training, and the choruses were
inspiring. Thcwldrcss by the pastor on
the theme of the evening, "The (front—
cst Gift." was calculated to fix in the
minds of the children that immeasur-
able greater than all other gifts, is thd‘
gift of “God's well-beloved son." At
the conclusion of the. service the school
and their friends adjourned to the
chapel, which was filled to its utmost '
capacity, antimony could not gain 11d-
niit-tance. There. a bright scene was
presented. Achimncy had been built
and the fireplace thoroughly furnished
with andirons and the faces of the child
ron wore an expectant look, evidently
supposing Santa Claus would literally
climb down and out of over the fender;
but Santa Claus had met with an acci—
dent on his , way thither. and.
had sent H. B. Wigliam . to
(explain the matter to them. and ask
them each and'all t111ak11 away one of
the bricks of his chimney for :1Imeinonto
of him. The. bricks. which proved to be
boxes of candy, were then distributed.
Supper was served, and huge baskets 11f

real Christmas cheer w as enjoyed.

and Post Dillon by Trolley Cm. .
There is a possibility that tho mail
carrier service in Norwalk will In
changed. Superintendent M. A. lint-
tricks, of the Railway Mail service. has
been in town looking into the matter
and highly favors an arrangenn'nt with
the Noi'walk Stu-ct Railway mummy
to carry the mail from the depot to the
South .\'orwalk, Norwalk and Winni~
punk [mt-offices.
Mr. Buttcricks thinks that such an
arrangement would goratly improve 11111
service overthe present carrier system
and will recommend thcchango to the
Post Office Department at Washington.
Should such :1 change be made, it will
not take place untilthe contract with
A. B. Bennett, the present carrier. ex-
pires. Tln1 mail between the South
Norwalk i111st«ollicc and the depot is also
carried under contract.
The new sy stem Wtiltltl abolish both of
