Christmas was observed by our citizens in orthodox manner, and passed off very pleas- antly. All places of business were closed, and the streets were thronged till late at night with pleasure seekers. There were no disturbances to mar the general happiness of the day. At night the various places of amusement were crowded, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, and gaiety prevailed throughout the city until the small hours of morning. Relizious exercises were held at many of the churches, and were well attended, some of the places of worship not being of sufficient capa- city to accommodate the crowd. st. M ws Church.

Cc. H.St eet, of Georgetown College. The altars were profusely decorated by the ladies of the Sanctuary Society, and it was really a beautiful sicht, being illuminated by a myriad flights.

Upon the walls suspended six large shields, each with silver stars upon aground of blue. representing @ constellation,and over the whole, vpon each, in large and graceful letters in red, appropriate scriptural sentiments.

The children of St. John’s have a “special service” every Sunday at4 p.m. At Trinity Church the columns, reading desk, and pulpit were entwined with bands of evergreens, wreaths were hung in the panels of the galleries; a golden harp, tastefally draped with sprigs of laurel and pine, orna- mented the choir; upon the front was a pyra- mid of evergreens intermingled with white flowers; on the altar were boquets of flowers and a mound of moss in which was placed a cross composed of white immortelles; the gothic fpanels back of the pulpit contained various inscriptions in letters of blue and gold, and sprigs of delicate vinca minor were trained Upon them on every direction, and up to the top of the cross flowers that surmount the towers, and the inscription, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace,” in large gilt letters of various colors, and bound with ever- green, hung over the chancel in front of the chandelier.

At Christ Church, (Episcopal,) the Sunday School children assembled in the morning, and, under the direction of Rev. Dr. Olds, the rec- tor, and Mr. Dunham, sung the Christmas carols, and at 11 o’ciock the service for adults took p:ace, there being quite a large attendance; after which, the communion was administered. The sides of the church were heavily festooned with evergreens, with which the pillars of the old fashioned side and end galleries were also twined, as also the tops of the windows, &c. Over the pulpit, in evergreen, was the inscrip- tion, «The Almighty God,” under which was astar, anchor and cr on the front of the pulpit, + 1. H.S.,”' and on the front of the read- ing desk, “« Emanuel.” On one side of the gal- lery there was inscribed, “Unto us a child is born.” while on the other was “ Unto us a son is given,” and on the end gallery, “* Wonder- ful,” and beneath it, “Councillor.” On one side of the pulpit was “The Everlasting Father,” and on the other, “The Prince of Peace.” The music here by the choir was very fine, 1t being conducted by Mr. Henry Cuth- bert, while Mr. Merrick presided at the organ. besides the hymns, the following pieees were performed :—Opening anthem, “Hark, the Her- ald Angels Sing;” Venite, by Dr. Hodges; Glo- ria in Exeelsis, by Barbour; Te Deum, by Dr. Olds, the rector of the church; Benedictas; Shout the Glad Tidings, by Walter; Frisagien apd Santus, by Standridge; Gloria in Excelsis, jackson. The Te Deum, composed by Dr. Olds, was rendered in an excellent manner, and it was spoken of highly as a musical com- position. The English Lutheran Church was tastefully decorated with evergreens festooned across the tront of the choir gallery, hanging in wreaths from the gas lights, and forming an arch cor- responding with the frescoed wallin the rear of the pulpit. It was designed that the service on Christmas day should be of a varied char- eter, in which the childrenof the Sabbath school would take an interesting part. but the condition of the streets was such that the con- gregation was small, the attendance of the scholars insufficient, and other unavoidable circumstances made it necessary to relinquish the design. The audience participated in the usual service of the church, and enjoyed a brief but propriate discourse from the pastor. Union Chapel. (Metbodist,) 2uth street, near Pennsylvania avenue, Rev. J. H. M. Lemon. No service was held in this church on Christ- mas. In the evening an entertainment was given to the Sabbath school. The body of the church was tastefully decorated with banners and evergreens, and occupying a conspicuous place above the pulpit hung the Star Spangled banner droopimg in graceful folds. Two Christmas trees, one in the corner of the railed enclosure before the pulpit, were plentifully coyered with fruit and confections, which, at the close of the ceremonies were to be given to the children. The church was quite well filled, the children occupying the front pews. The exercises were commenced by singing, followed by a prayer by Rev. Mr. Lemon. The Sunday school scholars then sung, ac- quitting themselves in a very creditable man- Der; aud in all the subecqueul Lymns the school showed the effeet of careful training. Mr. Wormeley atidressed the children, exhort- ing them te cultivate high and holy aspirations m life, instancing the examples of several eminent men who rose te their exalted posi- tions through industry and perseverance, sea- soned by religion. he school then sung an- other hymn. Mr. A. Ashley made a few remarks explaining the birth of Jesus and the object of his coming into the world. He told several amusing stories, during the relation of which he often received enthusiastic tokens of the children’s approbation. Singing again by the school. Mr. A. S. Taylor read a poem called “The Nation’s Dead;” after which, the scholars sung Another hymn. Mr. Wormsley read a poem, said to have been a favorite of Mr. Lincoln's, called «The Spirit of the Proud.” Mr. A. Ashiey followed with a short address, Bt well delivered, which was ap- lauded both loud and long. The peaufftal ymn, “My Country, ‘tis of Thee,” was then sung. Mr. Calvert then stepped forward and in an appropriate speech presented to Rev. Mr. Lemon, on behalf of the members of his church, a silyer castor, which Mr. Lemon re- ceived in a becoming manner, expressing his thanks for the gift and his hopes for the mnu- tual welfare and happiness of all. Mr. G. T. McGlue came forward and spoke to the school in & manner that showed a long acquaintance had existed between them, and was hailed by gleeful faces and cheering voices. He an- nounced that the contents of the trees would at once be distributed. This was the signal for & season of real enjoyment; and judging from the merry confusion of tongues and the bright- ness of every smiling face, the occasion was happy enough to remain in the memory until Christmas returns.
