QThe Chronicle sincerely regrets to
learn of the death of .Cedric Thompson,
the eighteen months old son of George
H. Thompson of Arlington. The. child
died yesterday after a short illness. The
remains' were brought to the city last
evening and were buried today in the
Odd Fellows'' . cemetery, i- Little. Oedri?
was an unusually winsome and aflec-
. tionate child, and" his departure is a
bitter -sorrow to his, parents,, who . have
tag heartfelt symyathy of all who know
them'.' i .'. -
This' morning th occupants of -the
land office building' heard cries of dis'
tress proceeding from the office of. Dr.
SiddnlJ, but for a time paid no particu
lar attention to it supposing it to be
some young person who was getting a
tooth pulled. As the cries continued
some one made an investigation when it
was , discovered that little Theodore
Nickelsen, son of Mrs. Wei of this city
had visited the doctor's office td get a
. tooth pulled and closed the spring bolt
of the front door which left him in the
-' vestibule so that he could get neither in
nor out. The doctor was absent and the
poor child was half scared to death till
jmtsiders assured hinr the doctor, would
soon be back, and let . him out..' It was'
only a little till he was released but as
soon as the door was opened he burst
into tears. ' '
They Got the Cske
Yesterday, just aa the sun was -sinking
behind, old Seven. Mile mountain,
and the the gray darkened into night, a
little company gathered in the cozy par
lor of Mrs. Myers on Third street where,
with the aid of Rev. W. C. Curtis, Miss
. May. Farley was wedded to John A.
Christians.. . -..:r-
After the usual congratulations the
party adjourned to the dining-room
where a finely ordered table seemed to
have gathered all the luxuries of the
season. To the cheer of the host and
hostess was added one or two "that re
minds me,"; of bur story teller .which
prevented too much attention -to more
edible good, and recalled all to the en
joyment of each other." Near the close
of the feast one bethought him of a cer
tain notice in the Chronicle to the
effect that A. Keller, the leading baker
of our city, had offered one of his fine
wedding cakes to the first couple who
should be married before Christmas eve
and wondered if it might not- properly
belong to our happy couple, but just a
look from , the hostess r- was . enough to
signify that the question might possibly
be out of place, for even then she was
preparing to surprise the company by
putting upon the table that identical
cake. It was recognized immediately,
for some who sat there had looked at it
with longing eyes as the baker dilated
enthusiasm over the mixture, replete
with everything charming to the palates
of such as dare to taste its richness.
The proof of the compound was in the
eating, and regrets were voted for the
next couple unless they are fortunate
enough to secure one of Keller's loaves.
After the feast music and good-bye
and Mr. Christians and his bride started
for Portland and San Francisco. The
Chronicle wishes them a pleasant jour
ney and a safe return.
A Christmas Poem.
Editor Chronicle: .
There is always an abundance of
Christmas poetry; but there are less
often seen poems, whose authors have
caught the full inspiration of this sea
son of universal joy, and have been
able to impart it to others through the
medium of their verses. The author of
the following stanzas, Rev. John West
all, for many years the beloved and
honored pastor of the Swedenborgian
church, of Fall River, Mass., has sue
ceeded, where many another, far better
known to the reading public", has failed :

CHRISTMAS. , . .
"Oh ! how shail I keep my Christmas?"
My heart whispered softly to me.
For I had been reading the story
Of the Lord's nativity.
And slowly and clearly before me
The words, like pictures, rise,
And the scenes appear in the beauty
Of the starry Syrian skies.
O cradled He was in a manger!
For lowly and pobr was He - - - - . - -
Whose throne is the splendors of Heaven,
-- Whose power is infinity.
And He bore His cross to save us, '
To save us from Death and Bin,
And He trod all alone the wine-press,
To make us pure and clean. 1
In glory the hosts of the angels
Came singing His soncr of praise, .
And filling the Heavens -with music
In those wonderful olden days:
" Singing. "Glory to God in the highest!"
And "Peace upon Earth," and then
The mighty chorus of voices .
Pealed forth, "Good will to men!"
"Oh! how shall 1 keep my Chxtstmas?',
As they kept it in Heaven above;
O keep it with peace and thanksgiving.
An kindliest deeds of love, .
And share with the poor and needy
The joys which the Lord gives thee;
And thy heart shall keep with the angels
The 1-ord's nativity.

two inches in diameter by two feet long,
