The Orphans, Fair.

The ladies' Fair opened at Masonic Hall
last night under rather unfavorable cir
cumstsnces, so far as the weather was
concerned, the rain coming on early, and
continuing to the close. The ladies in
charge of the tables however, were at their
posts, and ready to wait upon their
friends and the public with grace, digni-
ty and pleasure The hall looked splen-
did-to appreciate it thoroughly, it must
be seen. The tables are filed with an
infinite variety of articles-more varied
by far, than ever before; we will there
fore only attempt to speak of few of
the principal articles.
An item which will please the gentlemen
particularly, is the telescope rifle to be
given to the best shot during the week.
This is not only beautiful article, but a
valuable one, warranted to carry ball
eight hundred yards. It can be seen on
the Sunday-school Table, together with
the valuable donations from the Melrose,
mentioned in another part of to-day's
paper.
On the Orphans Table will be found
some rich silver-ware and needle-work,
and a beautiful rocking chair, the latter
presented by Mrs. Thomas Farrell.
Mrs. Barrys table presents beautiful
appearance, with her magnificent prizes
tastefully displayed. The costly jewelled
watch is also on this table.
Mesdames Mccormack and Whelan have
q very fine sewing machine and other val
liable articles worth double the price of
admission to look at.
Mrs. Flannigan makes fine display.
Her large stove attracts attention from
bachelors contemplating mstrimony, as
we'll as from the fair sex.
Mrs. McNulty has a neat table and a
valuable one. She will surely be rewarded
for her industry.
The Edgefield Table, presided over by
Mrs. P. Olwill, assisted by Mesdames L.
OIwill and w. A. Glenn, presents very
chaste and beautiful appearance. They
have some valuable silver ware and other
articles.
Mrs. Hines and Miss Ella Fitzgerald
have table second to none in the Fair, in
value or variety. All visitors must neces-
sariIy pause while to examine the great
variety of beautiful things.
Nor will any, we hope, neglect calling
upon Mrs. Prendergast, for refreshment
from the inner man. Or, they may quench
their thirst at Rebecca's well, or sweeten
their tooth at the confectionery stand, at
tended by Misses Annie and Maggie Prem
dergast.
We have pocket full of notes, but we
must defer all to another time, and CON
clude for the present by expressing an
earnest wish that the ladies' msy have fine
weather the balance of the week, and sue
ceed in their efforts equal to their deserts.
The Fair will be open every night.

Thanks TO ssmeIrose.,

The young ladies connected with the
Sunday school table desire to return thanks
to Mrs. A V. Brown and Miss Narcissa p.
Sanders, of Melrose, for more than queen
ly donations to their table, consisting of q
pair of goblets of pure silver, lined with
gold, of an elegant and chaste pattern; q
genuine silver butter-dish, one of the most
beautiful we have ever seen-nearly as
lovely as the fair donor; a smoking-set of
French stone china, richly gilt and ele-
gantly ornamented, consisting of four
pieces-R tray, cigar-case, matchbox
and ash-receiver. The fourth and
last, but not least, of these mu-
nifcent donations is pure gold ring,
circled with jewels-manufactured many
years ago by the jeweler to the renowned
Queen Hortense, and presented by the
maker to distinguished diplomatic agent,
who, in turn, gave it TO Miss Sanders,
when one of the reigning bellies of WASH
ington city, at a time when purity of
heart and intellectual accomplishments
were required in good society. Alt the
young ladies say ''God bless the good la
dies"

Special to the Union and american.
MiXed.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-ClOudy and
threatening weather was prevailing Sun
day evening in the Central Mississippi
Valley. AS is shown by the reports re-
ceived this forenoon, there was a portion
of the storm then passing over Missouri,
which this morning was in Central and
Southern Illinois, in which State it still
remains. Light rains and cloudy weather
are now reported northwest of the Ohio
Valley, with brisk northeast winds on
Lakes Michigan and Erie. No reports
are received from Minnesota nor west of
Omaha. At the latter place northwest
gale prevails, with light snow. The pres
sure has fallen On the Gulf and Lake On
tario, with cloudy weather.
1t is probable that threatening weather
with brisk winds will be experienced
Tuesday on the gulf, the lower Mississip
pi, Lake Erie snd Ontario, and toa less eX-
tent in the Eastern States. Cloudy weather
and falling barometer are probable in
the middle and southern Atlantic There
are not sufficient reports from the North
west TO indicate the probable weather on
Lake Michigan and Superior.

THE CITY,
CHURCH OF TBE ADVENT
Restoration of English Cathedral
Choral Service.
Pleasing and interesting occasion.


The restoration of the old English Gath
edral Choral Service, at the Church of the
Advent, Easter night, will long be re-
membered as an important event in the
history of the church in this city. This
service has been to a considerable extent
restored in England, and is now no longer
the novelty that many supposed it to be
several years ago.
At an early hour this new and beautiful
church was crowded to overflow, extra
seats and chairs were for q while in redui-
sition, but at last many were obliged to
go away. unable to obtain even standing
room. The customary Easter Floral deco
rations were very beautiful and appropri-
ately arranged On the q tar were two
large vases with pure white flowers. While
the chancel lecturn, Episcopal throne,
pulpit, font, and choir stalls we're beauti
fully festooned, and decorated with living
flowers. Promptly at s o'clock the soft
notes of the organ were heard, and
in the distance the singing of the
Ohoristers becoming louder and louder as
they approached, until the vestTy door
opened, and they filed out, two by two,
the smallest in front, and gradually in
creased in size to full grown men They
were neatly surpliced in black and white,
and as they slowly marched up, singing, and
took their places in the choir, it was one
of the most impressive sights we have ever
witnessed. The service then commenced,
which is the usual Evening Prayer, Of the
Prayer-book. The opening sentences and
lessons, were read by the Rector, the Rev.
j. M. Schwrsr, who has, in the short time
he has been in our city, done great work
for his parish, and is held in high esteem by
his congregation. The sermon was by the
Rev. NJ. S. Royce, of the Church Of the
Holy Trinity, and was an eloquent and
earnest representation of the privileges to
be received from the fact Of the res1rrec-
ton of the body, which this day CONNIE
morates. After the offertory, which was
rendered in a very impressive manner, the
blessing was pronounced by the rector,
and the choristers slowly filed out in the
same order singing recessionsl hymn
Thus ended one of the most impressive
services we have ever seen. The
service was entirely choral, and tco
much praise cannot be bestowed
upon the choir, which is composed
chiefly of small boys, for their reverent
department during the whole service. 1t is
composed of 16 boys and 4 men, led by
one of our most respectable citizens, who
deserves much praise for his unceasing
energy and devotion to this work One
of the features of the service was an an
them sung by one of our most talented
singers, during the taking up of the offer
tory. The organ accompaniment to the
whole service was rendered in a very
skillful manner by one Of the organists of
the parish. This service is to be contin-
sed regularly every Sunday evening.

SCRANTON, April 9.-Nothing indica-
ting outrage or riot happened here since
Thursday last. Gov. Geary's levIes,
which arrived Saturday, were distributed
at the principal mines and they have not
been molested. The companies which
had been brought on the scene by
Gen. Osborne were found to be in the
main miners, and as such were deemed
untrustwOrthy in case of conflict with
their brethren, and were sent home yes
terday. The only bloodshed so far was
shed last night by accident. One officer
on guard at the coal establishment, wax
eniDg from the nightmare, startled his
companions, and in the confusion his gun
was fired, the ball passing through his
body and entering that of a lieutenant.
Both of these men died 10 day.
Last night there was preliminary
meeting of the railroad men here. No
decided action was taken, however, and
to morrow a larger delegation will meet
to discuss the new issues involved in
Gov. Geary's proclamation.
Danger of Further Troubles.
1t is stated that the leaders of the
crowd which interfered with work Sat
urday, will be arrested at once. In such
an event serious resistance is feared.
Three more companies of militia are to
arrive tomorrow from the neighborng
towns, 10 reassure the citizens, who are
almost without local police, the firemen
constituting the regular force. The
miners, in order to convince the citizens
of their law abiding disposition, have re-
liDquished the idea of a grand parade an
nounced for tomorrow.
The General Council of the w. B. A.
assemblies in Wilkesbarre Tuesday, and
important results are expected. These
leaders have under consideration prop
osition recently submitted by the Cover
nor and railroad companies. With their
verdict rests virtually the whole question
of resumption. This meeting will great
ly facilitate the purposes of the compa-
MES whose chief representatives are now
assembling here.
The leading men here are not sanguine
of early resumption.
Work at a Stand.
SCRANTON, Pa, April 10.-There has
been no disturbances fortwo days past. No
intelligence is received here of work hay
ing been resumed in any of the mines.
Mai. Swank with 200 State guards remains
here on duty. The rest of the division have
been sent home. Lieut.. Warner, of Ha-
zleton, died last night from injuries re-
ceived accidentally Saturday.

A son of the late President Tyler, only
twenty-one years old, is an Uhlan in the
Twelfth Army Corps of Saxony, and
served throughout the Franco Prussian
war. He has been for five years a mining
student at Freiberg, but when the clash of
arms came he laid aside his books and
sought admission to the service. By an es-
pecial favor of the Minister of War this
foreigner was permitted to enter theranks
of the King of Ssxony. Being q fine
looking, gallant young man, he made sn
excellent soldier, and his record as son of
an American President was enough TO
cause every officer and private to seek his
companiOnship. During the latter part of
the war young Tyler is said to have car
rcd his cavalry lance into several hot en-
gagements.
