Louis Nelson, little four year old East
Slider, was severly scalded about the breast
and shoulders yesterday morning, by over
turning pan of boiling hot water. Proper
treatment was bestowed upon the little
sufferer, and at last accounts the child was
on fair way to speedy recovery.
T. B. Walker thinks public school edu-
cation is superficial in many respects, and
that parents should dictate and children
choose what studies should be pursued.
Other people think something beside q
knowledge of how to survey and select good
pine lands, is requisite to an education.
Henry Minnette, an employe of the CHI

slight smashup occurred on the East
Side yesterday afternoon. A farmer by the
name of Jackins drove into town with a
team of young horses. He left them stand
ing unhitched near the railroad while he
went into friends house. The team be-

OF blocks, and in turning corner ran into a

team was secured before further damage
was inflicted upon the vehicle.

oats are quoted cent higher than last week.
Barley has been constant, with unchanged
prices.
There has been good call for straight
ground feed, and, rs receipts have not been al

Farmers would derive much instruction in
much neglected subject, if they wonld attend
to the butter market. Low grades have been
next to unsaleable, and have not offered the
remotest encouragement. On the other hand,
the call for choice dairy has been excellent,
while the prices of this class have advanced
under light receipts.
Each day Of the week past has marked an
improvement in the dry goods trade, and, if
the present weather holds out, the increase
will be yet more palpable. Country merchants
are about ready to stock up, and brisk business
is anticipated. few reductions in bleached
goods are noted.
Although prices have fallen trihe in the
boot and shoe trade, there has been very con-
siderable amount of business transacted, and
dealers express their satisfaction.
In hardware there have been no changes in

In consequence of heavy declines in Euro
pean sales, the fur market has been weak and
uncertain, and the demand has been very lin
tied, even at the low prices which prevailed.
Hides have been depressed, owing to the partial
| suspension of eastern tanneries.
The st. Paul market for drugs, paints, oils,
&C., is now sought by druggists and dealers
who have never before visited here and large

from here. This is owing to the fact that this
city possesses advantages, which are only, as
yet, beginning to be appreciated. During the
past week, this market has been fairly active.
Glass and lead are being sold at very low
prices, and in large quantities. Quinine has
suddenly and heavily advanced also kindred
preparations, and Peruvian bark. In this con
nection it may be stated that seeds have been
in good demand. Timothy has been frmer
and clover little lower.

Easter Sunday.

Easter Suuudy.
The observation of Easter Sunday
here was much more general than usual.
At all the churches sermons we're
preached relative to the event of the
resurrection of the Savior. The floral
decorations were probably more extern
sive and beautiful than on any other
similar occasion.
The Episcopal society occupied their
new church for the first time. 1t was
beautifully ornamented with flow
ers and pot plants. The church has
been built and finished from the foun-
dation since last fall, and is a tasty and
convenient edifice. The furnishings are
in keeping with the style of architec-
ture. Is lighted by stained glass win
dows, the front one containing life
sized figure of st. Andrews. The fur
uiture we understand has been furnish
ed and paid for by the ladies of this So
ciety from the sale of articles mostly
manufactured by themselves the past
to which Mrs. Frederick Fletcher added
one hundred more. The regular church
service was held in the morning. In
the evening an interesting Easter fes-
tival was given by the Sabbath school
The offerings in the morning went into
the building fund and we understand
were very liberal.
At the North church the pastor Off
ciated in the morning. In the evening
Sabbath school concert was held. The
floral decorations were the most elabO
rate at this church, the most nOticeableO OF
which was Lang cross composed oil
Gala lilies and rose buds, and a large
pyramid bouquet. Messls. Hearne anC
Borland should have credit for this dis,
play.
At the Uuiversalist church the fora
decorations were arranged by Mr.. ano
Mrs. Alonzo Packard, and were mOstl,
of pot plants, but were made very at
tractive and tasty. An appropriate,
sermon was given in the afternoon an,
an Easter concert in the evening. Thu
house was crowded and the children
made it an interesting occasion.
The South church pulpit was sup
piled by Rev. Mr.. Bennett of Lyndon
vile. No unusual exercises or fora
decorations were had.
The Baptist church was LIBERAL.
