The Anti subsidy Resolution.
An analysis of the vote on the anti-subsidy
resolution shows that 1t amounted to nothing
but buncombe. Fifty-odd men who voted for
the resolution are known to intend voting for
ahe Southern Pacific bill in some form or other,
while about twenty who voted against the reso-
luton are known to be unalterably opposed to
Tom Jcott's scheme. Thus. the vote is no test
whatever upon that point.
The silver Bill

having been definitely eseertained that fifty
Senators will vote to pass 1t over a possible

week to remove o watch from the
pocket of man giving his name
as Sneider, aud said to be hail

represented by it's owner to be worth

worth from two to four dollars.

GooD FRIDAY.~This day in Min
eral Point was but commonly OBJ
served. At early morn the pros
poets for a delightful day were de-
cidedly cheering, the silvery and
golden rays Of the sun darting
brightly on bud and blossom. Many
members Of the infant generation
arose from their couch at break of
dawn, and hastily prepared for a
trip DER hill and through dale to
the babbling waters of the Pecaton-
lea, there to decoy and capture the
finny tribe. Till noon all was pleas
ure. when threatening clouds gath
cred together and caused the frisky
fisher to prepare for shelter. Some,
who fortunately did rot stroll far
on the downward course of the
stream, escaped the drenching ele-
ment, but those who moved farther
on and near Calamine station, return
ed homo in the evening with their
clothes thoroughly saturated, having
been overtaken by the shifting
storm, and seemed perfectly satisfied
that Good Friday rolled round only
once in o year. With the Episcopal
and Catholic societies services Gus
tomary to their doctrine were held
morning and evening, and each were
attended by large and respectable
audiences.

ALTHOUGH the sun went to set on
Saturday evening with all OF a poets
imaginary splendor, on Easter morn
ing the heavens blue was hid by q
shroud of clouds. During the day
rain fell at intervals, enough SO to
dampen the mirth Of the young, and
to hinder greatly the church goer
from attending services. Towards
evening hopes were entertained for
a rolling away of the misty masses
which floated DER us, but instead of
SO doing they gathered their forces
and in the night We were visited
with the heaviest storm, thus far, of
the season. Hail, nearly as large

roared loudly and the lightning
flashed flercely. AS reports come in
from abroad we learn OF considerable
damage being done, even to the loss
of life.
