Deadly Assault.

As VIM. C. Stowe of this place WAS
in the cemetery last evening, some one
assaulted him in a cowardly manner
The circumstances were these: About
five o'clock Mr.. Stowe went into the
cemetery to look after his traps. He
found a skunk in one of them, and while
he was in the act of killing the skunk,
he thinks some one hit him on the side
of the head with club. AT all events.
when he came to himself there was a
severe cut in his head and his face was
battered up. He got down on to Rail
road street before dark, and reported
himself at police headquarters. Tracks
were found in the snow, and also blood
about, but who made this cowardly at
tempt on the old mans life is not vet
ascertained. Mr.. Stoves domestic re-
latiOns have been somewhat disturbed
the past week. The police having gone
after his wife for disorderly conduct,
she stepped out, leaving him and the
neighbors to care for the three children.

Eucharistic celebration at 1890, the
hearty responses told that the inspira-
ton of their Easter greeting had not
departed. The Litany was preceded by
the anthem, "Christ is risen from the
dead and become the first fruits of them
that slept" and followed by the hymn,
"At the Lambs high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King"
The hymn following the ante COM
munion service was,
1.-THE day of Resurrection!
Earth tell it out Abroad"
The Rector preached from l Cor. Is: %.
"Christ the first fruits afterward, they
that are Christ's at His coming" He
spoke of our return, on this beautiful
Easter morning, to the sepulchre, where
we left our crucified Lord on Good
Friday, to find it empty. He said we
have three kinds of testimony to His
resurrection the human consisting of
that of His friends and likewise His
enemies,) the Angelic and the Divine.
If Christ be not raised, our faith is vain,
and we are yet in our sins, but being
raised, they that are Christ's are to fol-
low Him. The great fact of His resur-
rection, has robbed the grave of all its
terrors, death is now but the renewal of
life, and the aged man comes to the
grave in the full assurance that his
yOuthfulness will be revived, with all
the experience of age. After the ser
mon the Rector proceeded to the
Eucharistic celebration. The services
though not elaborate, were yet bright
and inspiring, and an occasion of joy
long to be remembered by all who took
part in them. We noticed one part
unavoidably absent from the choir, but
it was evident from the perfection of
the rest, that they meant nothing else
should be missed. The lateness of the
season, and depth of snow, made it
necessary to depend largely upon house
plants for the floral decorations, but
they we've neatly and tastefully arranged
in the chancel, and in spite of the sea-
son, Gala lilies were abundant besides
many other beautiful flowers, and Il
heliotrope perfumed the whole church
with its delicious fragrance. The ser
vices ut five O'Clock WAS distinctively
for the Sunday School, so on Easter-day
of course, the children must march in
procession led 10y their beautiful ban
ner, and us they marched up tie aisle
singing the professional, brightly
beams our banner" the effect was very
pleasing. They sang their carols very
nicely, and responded heartily in the
service. After catechizing by the Rec,
tor, the offerings of the children, the
fruits of Lenten self-denial, were made
by one scholar appointed from eacl
class. Among the offerings were oh,
served several beautiful boquets of cut
flowers. Altogether, it was Il joyous
celebration of the joyful Christian festi,
val, and its quickening Impulse vii
doubtless he felt in many heat til
Easter comes again.

Easter Services.

The clouds and storm and cold which
had prevailed for a month, disappeared
last Sabbath, and the day opened bright
and beautiful. In all the churches
there was a recognition of the day,
while in some special services were
held.
The Baptist Church on Railroad street
had floral decorations, and the pastor,
Rev. E. II. Sanford, gave very earnest
and practical discourse from the words
found in | Cor. Is: 20. '.But now is
Christ risen from the dead, and become
the tirst-huits of them that slept"
In the absence of the pastor at the
North Church, Rev. Nj. A. Gates gave
IN excellent discourse from the text in
Matt. %: 5, Gle is not here for he
is risen" The theme of the sermon
was, 1.-THE Resurrection, the keystone
of our religion" The floral display at
this church was very elaborate and
very beautiful. The pulpit was one
mass of flowers, Gala lilies largely pre-
dominating, while on either side were
large crosses made of exquisite flowers,
and two immense white azaleas in full
bloom. The abundance AID beauty of
the flowers, and the fine taste of their
arrangement, we have scarcely. ever
seen eXcelled.
In the evening an Easter concert was
held by the Sunday School, at which an
exercise prepared especially for the
occasion by Superintendent Fairbanks.
was given. The exercise consisted of Il
compilation of scripture bearing upon
the resurrection, and this was given by
various classes and by the whole school
IN answer to questions read by the
Superintendent. This exercise was in
terspersed with much music, which was
rendered by the whole school and bv
select chOirs. A double quartet, con-
sisting of Mrs. Rowell, Misses Matthews.
Brown, and Baker, and Messrs. Herrick.
Conant, Baker and Dodge, gave very
finely an Easter anthem, while Misses
Matthews and Brown sung very sweet
~ duet appropriate to the occasion.
At the close of the exercises the flowers
were distributed among the children.
and then among the older ones until
they were all exhausted. Altogether
the concert was fine affair, and the
audience was as large as could be
packed into the church,
At st. Andrews Church the great
Queen of Feasts was most joyfully celc-
brated. The services for the day were
introduced with morning prayer at
seven O'Clock. Notwithstanding the
early hour the congregation WAS large,
and as the choir sang:
Angels roll the rock away
Christ the Lord is risen to-day"
and all the people listened to the Rec
tors Joyous Easter greeting, "Christ is
risen," followed by the hymn,
"Christ the Lord is risen TODAY,
Sons of men and angels say;"
one could not help being reminded of
the custom among the early Christians,
which we are told still continues in the
East, of greeting each other on Easter
morn with, "He is risen," and the re-
Spouse, "He is risen indeed" When
the people returned to the Litany and

The First hihilists.

The first Nihilist societies we're
formed by Russian students about the
year 1859, and the doctrines they adopt
ed were chiefly derived from book
which is not generally supposed to have
any Nihilist tendencies, Buchner's
Force and Matter" The circulation
Of this work in Russia was forbidden by
the Government, but il was secretly in.
troduced into the country, and read
with avldity by the Russian youth, to-
gether with another German work, by
Max Stirner, called Property and the
Individual" which had also fallen un-
der the ban of Russian censors. Out Of
these two books, the former Of which
preached materialism and the latter So
cialism, the Russians evolved the doc
trine of Nihilism, which they also pro-
fessed to find in. other popular works,
notably Buckles @History of Civiliza-
tion." The new Nihiist societies were
formed among the students of the Agri
cultural College of PetroYski, near Mos
COW. The Government treated the stu
dents with extreme severity; many in
nocent young men were confined in
prison for many years without trial, and
it was at this time that Vera Sassulitch,
who was then IS years old, was impris-
oned with her brother for three years.
After the Frarco-G German war the Nj
hilists adopted the Panslavist cause, and
thereby gained certain amount of pop
ularity, but the acquittal of Vera Sassu-
Itch again directed their attention to
home affairs. They turned round upon
their prosecutors and threatened them
with death, believing that Russian So
ciety would hail them as its saviors il
they should succeed in destroying the
bureaucracy that fetters it.

The FOotman Who Wouldn't Announce
Bismarck.

They are telling good story in Ber-
lin of the visit paid by Bismarck to
Lord and Lady Dufferin, at the Kaiser
hof, when the newly-made Ambassador
and his wife were passing through the
Kaiserstadr. The footman to whom
Bismarck gave his card returned, after
keeping the Prince waiting several min
utes, and, in reply to the Princes de-
mand whether he had announced him,
said, rather impertinently, "Nol' Now
Bismarck, as I suppose all the world
knows, is irritated in amoment, and the
fupkey's imperturbabifty simply threw
: him -inte-a white heat. In great rage
he burst out, "You old fool! why not?"
and was going away, when Lord Duf-
ferin looked out of his room and pro-
ceeded to explain. It seems that Lady
Dufferin was dressing, and that Chawles,
who thought the Prince wished to see
the Countess, had been told by the
Lady's maid that her mistress was not
at home. By the time that Lord Duf-
ferin had explained the mistake to Bis
marck, Her Ladyship had finished
dressing and was abba to receive the
Prince. Now just imagine what tre-
mendous consequences might have en-
sued from Chawles' absurd mistake
