and 3.2o p. m. CHESTEJB CITY PKESBTTKBIAX SUSDAY Sunday school of the above church gave the second of a series of entertainments last evening. Long before the hour of opening arrived, their room was crowded by members of the congregation and friends. The business of the association was first transacted.

Arrangements were made for tbe annual anniversary of the school, aud a committee appointed to look after it. Rev. Mr. Stiles will be invited to be present. The entertainment consisted of a prelude by Miss Mary Burke, a recitation, "The Old Apple Tree," by Miss Mary Maekey; A quartet by Wm.

A. Dobson, H. G. Kurtz, Miss Emma Fountain and Miss Annie Fleming; readings by Miss Maggie Cutler and, Lizzie Miles; singing by the school, "Like a Bird to Thee;" reading, selections from The Wave," the Sunday school paper, by Miss Mary Burke; singing, Miss Reaney's class, "Only Waiting;" a dialogue, called "Polly Ann," by Misses Kate Wagnet, Bella Stinson, Lizzie Wilson, Bessie McMaster and C.

Messrs. T. D. Cummings aud George left Chester to-day for Smyrna, where they will gun for a few days, and Caleb Clayton aud Edward Lyons started for Reading this morning. They drove up aud took a gnu along, in case they should see any game along the road.

Councilman Greenwood, of the North ward, who has been indisposed for some time past, has sufficiently recovered to be on the streets once more. A HIGHWAY ASSAULT. Mr. John Broomhead, an elderly citizen of Upland, who sometimes comes to Chester and drinks more liquor than he ought to, visited this city last night, and while here imbibed pretty freely. About fifteen minutes past ten o'clock he was going over the lot on Edg- mont avenue adjoining the Friends' burying ground, and some one dealt him a heavy blow in the face.

The blow was very severe, and nearly prostrated Mr. Broomhead. He ran across the street in the direction of Mr. Hattou's plumbing establishment, and when about to the pavement he fell. His face was terribly bruised, and his mouth was bleeding.

He suffered great pain from the wounds. Officers Hoc ff" an a McCaffrey took him to a drug store, where Dr. J. F. M.

Forwood dressed tbe wounds. His assailant ran down Seventh street, and could not be found, nor is he known. It was a dastardly act, and deserves severe punishment if the perpetrator could only be apprehended. A Coos HCXT--Tbe Coon Club was out last, night again, and spent most of the night in the woods, but found uo coons. They returned late this morning with three or four opossums.

"IT WAS THE master of hounds of the Chester club on Saturday morning received from the members of the Middletown Coon club a bag, wbich was supposed to contain a live coon, so that the home clnb could give'their dogs a little practice. Tbe bag was left in one of our hotel stable instructions to give it to the above functionary. H6 was incliued to be inquisitive, and before be carried the bag home he opened it to examine the monster coon, when lo! a huge cat revealed itself and made an effort to escape. Tbe bag was quickly closed, and the cat allowed to remain where it was. He had no me for such animals; coon or nothing is his motto.

To get rid of the over-grown feline they pat it in tbe carriage of a geatleman who was going out the Middletown road, but when be got to Harrison's hill tbe cat became dissatisfied, and made such a racket that the man threw th? bag and its contents into the road. A ahert time after a well known drover was passing that way with a herd of cows, and he spied the bag. He picked it up and tin- tied it, when out jumped tbe enormous cat, scaring Tom almost out of his wits. He carried tbe bag to tke Black Horse hotel, where he related his story. Of course it was all understood there and much enjoyed.

HUMPTV entertainment known as Humpty Dumpty, given in Holly Tree Hall last evening, was pretty well attended, ball being'about half filled. The performance was very good, and all present enjoyed themselves. The "oddities of music" displajed a versatility of talent not often witnessed anywhere, and was a treat to those present. The pantomime of Humpty Dumpty was enjoyable throughout, and served to make an hour pass very agreeably. There was nothing coarse or vulgar about' it, and the performers were far above tbe average.

The only drawback to tbe enjoyment was the hooting and yelling of some young savages, which could easily be stopped if the effort was made.

After the football game was over on Saturday, some of the young men who had Dorses made them fqmp the fences around Academy.

A Nsw new organization, to be known as tbe D. M. Lyle Masquerade Association, was formed in this city last evening, for the purpose of giving the citizens a good serenade on New Year's eve.

Ladles who are perfectly familiar with tbe general characteristics of New York Palaces of Fashion learn very soon to bo able to distinguish a garment or article brought from any special or particular one of them, for a certain Indescribable sameness, a kind of trade-mark, is stamped in style aud fabric upon the manufactures, and even Importations, of each and every one. Tnts peculiarity is due to the fact that the stock is selected to please a member of the firm or the party in control of the department. Now Mr. John Wanamaker regulates the purchases made lor the Grand Depot upon an entirely different principle.

The tastes of the customers are consulted aud requirements considered, and, with an earnest desire to please patrons, means Is brought In force to ff-t such articles as may be suited to tbe fancy or purse. In the manufacturing rooms of the Grand Depot a few days ago were specimen garments of eveiy kind, utftts for brides, theatrical costumes for actresses, neal Quaker garbs, and pretty evening dresses. Among these was an exquisite party dress the long trained skirt of pink satin had tiny knife plaltings around the edce of train and front of skirt; over this a snow-flake tissue fell in graceful folds, secured In place by pale apple blossoms, and edged with a row of the same delicate flowers. Tbe neck and sleeves were finished with handsome lace, and a wreath to match that on skirt. A quaint little costume for Lotta had t-hort cream-satin skirt, over which was a panier overdress of figured clie- ney brocade, edged with Honiton lace.

With every rich costume the stockings should match, and to supply tbe demands lor highfr grades of hosiery, that department of the Grand Depot has been supplied -with a large stock of silken stockings in the shades of tbe new dress materials. Some are beautifully embroidered, but many are in the new plain colorings, and can be embroidered by the ladies who design wearing them. la Brettle'ssilk hosiery for ladies and children there are stockings In French white, ivory, fllle claire, very' light blue, rosd pink, new vert pink, Austrian, lilac, cardinal, medium blue, brlghtsultan, brown, scarlet, myrtle green, navy blue, old gold and Ingrain black.
