The DAYS. sly esterday was Good Fri
day, the only day in the year on which
mass is not celebrated in the Roman
Catholic Churches for the reason that it
is the anniversary of the crucifxion of the
Savior. To-day, the 9th, at evening,
will commence the Hebrew festival Of
Pesah, Or the passover instituted by
Moses in commemoration of the Israelites
remaining intact on the night of the de-
struction Of the first born of Egypt, i'm
mediately preceding the exodus of the
Israelites from that country. Tomorrow
will be Easter Sunday. In all places
where either the Catholic or Episcopal
Church has followers Easter Sunday is
held in especial regard. 1t is meant to
commemorate the resurrection of the
Savior.
A CHANDELIER in the store of J. Myers
& Bro, containing two lamps, the other
day, became loosened and fell, breaking
the lamps and scattering oil. Although
the above chandelier did not fall from be.
ing twisted, yet it is the general pactice
to twist them whenever the lamps are
taken down for cleaning or being lighted
at evening, which soon wears out the fast
ening in the ceiling and they are liable to
fall at any moment. 1t would be well for
all persons having chandeliers in their
store or residence to eqamine them at
least once week.
SUMNER S1cNs.-On Monday little
Indian child, about four years old, dress

oped the utility of fig leaves, was seen on

reached Phoebe it was received with great
satisfaction by the public. The Day will
prove itself great mine at an early day.
STOVE PIpEs.-As we are liable to have
a spell of windy weather is would be adj
visable for our citizens to take the pre-
caution to inspect their stove-pipes daily,
and see that none of them are displaced
by the wind. A little care in time may
save this community large amount Of
loss by fire, calamity which would be
very disastrous at the present time.
