Decorations.

This beautiful little church, situated
upon the seashore, celebrated Easter
with Ill due ceremony and splendor.
The services were of the most remindiul
and impressive character, and the
chuIcl being thronged to its utmost
capacity rendered it difficult to even
obtain standing room at times. The
sacred minister was arrayed in the rich
est vestment; the affairs so elegantly and
beautifully decorated with flowers Of
rare beauty. aud shone 30 Respondent
with myriads of candles as to render it
really dazzling to the eye. This work
was performed by the ladies of the
ALTAR Society,"" aud to whom are en-
titled great praise and commentator
for the artistic taste displayed in their
beautiful decorations. A sermon we'll
beftting and In appropriate concert
with the festival was preached by the
Rev. Father j. L. Wise, the jealous
pastor of the congregation. and was
listened to with the most MAJ ked and
respe cted attention by the devuut. The
high mass read WIS excellent and Joy
fully impressive. The choir under the
leadership of Miss E. s., with their
new aud sweet-toned organ, rendered
the following programme OF m Isic in q
manuer that doubly exceled anything
we ever listened to in amateur talent
and ability: Peters Mass and Regina
Ceoli; soprano, Mi sses A. X and A.
B; alto, Miss J. B; tenor, Miss E.
s.; bass, Msssrs. J. K, W. K, /. !
D., and G. S.. Misses A. K aud |
A. B, in their very soft and sweet
soprano, shone with unusual splendor,
and were highly appreciated by all
lovers OF music. Miss j. BIS rendi- !
ton of alto was excellent, and was
heard with delight. Miss Z. s., the
organist and leader OF
choir, did not fail. in her beautiful rem
dition OF tenor, to be listened to with
marked appreciation and delight. The
gentlemen sang their parts we'll and
creditably.

Last week a man by She name Of
W. B. Mimms, from Alabama, clme
here and represented that he was es-
tablishing agencies for the sale Of some
liniment and other patent medicines,
ut was really selling these articles at
retail without license. He was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Fl .rrison and carried
before Squire Chidsey. who fined him
$40 and costs, bat afterwards, through
promises of good conduct, etc, the fl ae
was rsmitted if be wouli pay the costs.
Mimms wrote ont dispatch and tele-
graphed for money, but before the
money was forthcoming be evaded the
officers and left for parts unknown. For
the bent ii of other communities whom |

is about 81 years old, 6 feet | inch
high, red hair, wears moustache and
Roatee, dresses rather common, and
C cirried pecu lar looking walking stick,
