A new paper has been started at
Burlington, VT, called the Sunday
ReUieW. We have received Vol. l.,
No. l., and it is really neWsy sheet
Of 80 columns. 1t is hard 10 deter
mine positively what its "politics" are,
but should think by reading its editor
\ isis that it catered considerable to De-
mocracy. We ~ish its projectors
abundance of success.
We are sorry to learn that Howard
Hobson, a son of S. ID. Hobson met
with a sad misfortune last Friday,
which nearly eliminated in the loss of
two of his toes. 1t appears that he
was culling logs on the bed of the mill,
the saw going very slow at the time,
!; when in moment Of abstraction he
placed his left foot on the top of the
saw, and slipping little, the saw in
coming back came in contact with his
foot nearly severing two toes. From
latest accounts we learn the sufferer is
doing well, and that no serious results
are apprehended.
The services at Christ Church on
Easter Day were very inspiriting and
joyous. Among the floral decorations
of the Chancel we noticed large and
elegant boquet OF dollhouse flowers,
the thoughtful gift of stranger. The
rendering OF the musical part of the
services was according to our last
weeks announcement, and under the
efficient leadership Of the choir master

and beautifully executed. The selcc-
tons and accomplishments upon the
organ were very finely performed
Two sermons appropriate to the day
were .acceptably preached by the Rev.
6. G. V. Eastman Of Burlington, the
subject of the evening discourse being
"rhe doctrine OF the Resurrection OF
the Body The offerings TO the Mis-
sions of the Church made on Easter
Day by the children of Christ Church
Sunday School, and also ST. Titus
Mission in the Woods were surprls-
ingly large, and, beyond question, a
true measure of Lenten self-denial
and pledge of earnest devotion.
Again the grim messenger of
death has visited our village, and
claimed it's own. Master Walter
Steady last Thursday afternoon. He
had been sick some little time, and bis
complaint is generally mystery
among the medical fraternity. He
had Deen great sufferer, but bore il
: all with great pa thence. The bereav-
ed family have the most heartfelt
sympathy of this community in thi;
their bereavement and in the misior
, tune which has befell them during the
, past winter. surely the old saying
that Affections never come singly, has
been verified by the experiences o.
this family. About three month:
since Henry Steady had his leg broken
Shortly after the above deceased was
Frustrated on his conch of sutferlngs
u short time since Eddie received quite
severe cut on his leg and now little
Walter is taken from the disconsolatt
household. Below we publish few
lines in memory of little Walter by re

In Memoir of Walter Steady.
His suffering ended with the day;
;; Yet still lived at its close
! And breathed the still long night away
In statue-like repose.
= But ere the sun, in all his state
Illumed the Eastern sky;
He passed thro' glories' morn'g gate,
, And walked in Paradise.
Printers are never supposed to have
much idea about farming! How coulc
