Playing IL Joke On Schneider.

Tho tiremen brought out their engine
on Monday and gave her Il trial at the
cistcrn on Grand street near DeSiard,
keller's dog Schneider came oppor-
timely along down Grand street and
thought he would pass the boys unmo-
lcstcd. Never was there such Il Joke
played on Schneider. The water was
turned upon him, which drove him to
the other side of the street, whence he
was driven to cross and rccross llait-a-
dozen times Or more, until the brak cs-
men actually broke down with laugh
ter. Schneider, like q true general,
however, at every crossing gained a
little by sidelong approaches, and it
was only question of time, as Pinch
tack would say, when ne would have
gotsssafely through. lie never smiled
once. Tho engine performed a.lnair.t-
bly,; but the attendance was rather
slim. We suggest to the officers the
importance of placing Schneider on
their roll and requiring his p,,rct,t:tl
attendance.
The trial of Wesley Billingsly, color
ed, for the killing of Tom Mccormick,
colorcd, resulted in tho acquittal of the
accused, the jury agreeing to a verdict
in five minutes. The case, pending
the rather lengthy investigation, cxcit-
ed considerable attention. The verdict
was received with general favor. The
editor of the 1ntelligencer was put
through severe course of sprouts in
his evident zeal as Il witness to convict
Wesley, and was made to appear in a
very unenviablc light before the court.
by the questions Of Capt. Farmer, of
whose legal ability our neighbor is now
better satisfied than ever. In the
course Of the trial Judge Ray required
an employee in the Intelligencer Office
to give the na1nc of the author of an
anonymous communication published
in that paper. We cannot approve the
Judges ruling. Courts ought rather to
protect faithful employees. When such
information is wanted, let it be obtain
cd from the editor, the only responsible
party. 1t is for him to say, and no one
else, whether the authors namc shall
tie given. 1t is his property. He may
choose to go to Jail, or to pay damages,
rather than expose friend, and that
may have been the understanding be,
tween him and the writer. Printers
ought not to be infOrmcrs much less
ought the courts to require them to bc
SO.

Easter, April 18Th. 1873.

The general name which is set apart
by the church for 4 special religious
object is Holiday or Holy Day. The
object for which holy days are instituted,
| Is the colnmcmoration of some person
| or event by devotional observance; the
! devotion, OF course, being offered to
Almighty God. The origin of holy
which the early Christ ans regarded
the sut1erings and deaths Of those who
gave up their lives rather than forsake
Christ and His truth. Easter Sunday
has always been honorcd by the Uni
Vcrsal Catholic Church as the chief
molly day of the church. Its name in the
present form is traceable for many ages
past, and has doubtless been derived
from the idea of sun-rise-the natural
rising of the sun in the East being taken
as Il type of the rising OF "the Sun of
righteousness with healing in His
beams.' The Saxon word nOestn has
probably furnished our language with
the present term of Easter. This festi-
val is entirely q Christian one, as there
is no special rite of the jewish dispen-
sation connected with the day, except
the waving of the sheaf of the first
fruits, q significant type, indeed, of the
hrst fruits OF the resurrection, but not
slgnallzing the day as q eWish festival.
There were several disputes in the
early church concerning tho time of
celebrating Easter. Some observed it
on fixed day every year, and others
observed it on the fourteenth day of
the moon in the month Nissan, what
ever day Of the year it happened upon.
Those who celebrated it on the Lords
DAY did not always agree upon the
same Sunday, by reason OF different
calculations, but they all agreed to pay
a great respect and honor to it, as to
the day of our Lords resurrection. On
this day, Empcrors released many
PRISONERS, whose crimes were not hei-
nous, and the people manifested their
JOY and gratitude by liberal donations
to the poor.
According to the rule now adopted
by the church, Easter Day is always
the first Sunday after the full moon,
which happens upon, or next after, the
2lst day of March; and if the full moon
happens upon a Sunday, then Easter
Day is the Sunday after. Easter is OBJ
served this year on April 18th.
We have been informed that services
will be held in Grace Church, Monroe,
opposite Courthouse square, according
to the Ritual OF that branch of the
Catholic Church known as the protcs-
tant Episcopal. Morning service ut
lo3; evening service at O'clock
" 1.loyd's Tie Dot,m' in e. FIatn has
been selected as q part Of the musical
exercises, 1t is also expected that the
Altar will be handsomely decorated,
according to the usual custom of the
church.
We have not been Informed rs to the
other churches, but presume services
will be conducted with special reference
to tho day.

City Election.

An important election, for the people
of Monroe, will take place on the 9Th
day of May. Wcighty matters may be
expected to come before the new Couu-
Gil before its term shall expire, in which
the future Of Monroe rs a city will be
intimately and vitality concerned. We,
therefore, offer the suggestion that, as
political questions arc Of less moment
1t this time than our material interests
t;inly to be accomplished by unity of
purpose and action, there be II sincere
effort made to select real live, earnest
and honest men for the city offices, with
out regard to political affiliations or
differences. Men Of experience and of
views comprehensive in their bearing,
who Will look steadily to the prosper
ity, Improvement and rapid advance
nlcHt OF our little city, are what we need
at this thcturning point in thc1listory Of
Monroe. 1t is plain that circumstances
will compel us very soon either to adj
vance, Or to submit TO Il slow death by
insrNsiblc, but certain approaches.
With such Il City Council rs we NOW
have, or ono likely to be chosen on
political issues, certain decline will be
the result. The time and the spirit Of
the people are both propitious for the
inauguration of Il genuine era of local
progress. We want to know if the Re
publicans will meet the hour and the
issue as they deserve:

A New Country.

FR1RND PEAsE.-Iwantt to tell you word or twoof Bay county in Michigan, and a word or two more of the town of Pima. coming, which is yet in it's infancy.
 There seems to be very little farming done i'll this county, the attention and energies of the people being directed almost ex. clusively to getting out lumber, making salt and fishing.
 Pinnaconing is town scarcely a wear old, yet there are now erected from 20 to 25 dwelling houses, one store, post office, telegraph office and saw mill. Therailroad runs directly through the village and our prospect of being of as much importance in very few years, as other folks, is by no means slim. Our saw mill, with it's up- right and circular saws, whittles out sey- enty thousand feet of lumber every twenty four hours.
 Your West Cornwall correspondent, ''Nuf Ced" thinks sc. can have no part Tn sJohn Q's' speculation does he? Please tell him that l have kind Providence to thank that l am so busy with something here that pays better, have no time to fool away with such boy play business as he alluded to.

Round Lake Camp Meeting.

MR. J. l.. PEAsE: Here we are at Round Lake camp meeting, on the Rens- selaer & Saratoga R. R., which is now in progress for the second week under the auspices of the Round Lake Camp Meeting Association. Another meeting of the ''Troy district" will be held here in September. The present meeting is in charge of Rev
 B. l, Ives of Central New York. Of the grounds we Can say they arc exceedingly picturesque, bordering on the lakc-u beautiful sheet of water. The trees are tall and slender and furnish good shade The underbrush Is all removed and the walks and drives hard and dry. The grounds are laid out very artisticaly, with fountains and parks, while along the prn- clpal avenues beautiful cottages have been erected. These are owned by families, and all the comforts of home may be found here. The inner circle in front of the stand is entirely of tents, giving it the ap- pearance of an encampment. ln fact the tents cover so much of the grounds within and without the circle, that the cottages seem hid among them. As summer resort Round Lake is becoming like Saratoga just above, of world wide reputation. Here we have excellent board and good lodging at reasonable rates. Extensive and costly improvements are made every year by the association. This year fine depot of cor
 rogated iron, finished with chestnut and black walnut, has been built by Messrs
 Osborne 6 Martin of Albany, at cost of $9,OOO. We have here post office, tele- graph and express offices, book store, mar ket, barber shop, laundry, three daily pa pers, &c., &c. Church tabernacles are erected for prayer meeting at different parts of the ground, and large pavilion tent for public service, when the raln prevents their holding service at the stand. Three ser mons are delivered each day, and special meetings held for children, young people, holiness and missions. Yesterday afternoon public meeting was held at the stand for the Women's Foreign Mission Society. Ad- dress by Mrs. Wheeler; number We're made honorary members. It was stated : that lady converted on this camp ground few years ago, is to go this year under the Women's Foreign Missions as missionary to India. The sittings in front of the stand are very comfortable. The pleasant walks. drives, sails. and comfortable homes, with the good religious influence prevailing all the hours of the day, cheered by the sing ing, make it very desirable retreat for few days to rest and refresh the wearied and wasted energies of the body. It is said during the first state camp meeting held on these grounds, 'a man was seen wandering about among the crowd on Fountain square, with an extinct cigar stub in his teeth, who good naturedly confessed that ''he couldn't find another loafer on the ground to get light from" wish you were here with us to tell you of our com fort.
