It's almost worth experiencing the rigors
of one of our northern winters to be reward

Suring that Winters reign is broken, and
that soon the snow and ice will disappear and
the great revivifcation of nature will occur.

The Mission at St. Johns.

An unusually large congregation was pres ent at St. Johns church yesterday morning to hear the eloquent Jesuit, Father Mcguire
 His sermon, which was one of remarkable force, was on faith, and went over wide range of thought suggested by the subject. The necessity of faith as an absolute essen tial to salvation was the central point around which gathered a brilliant array of illustra- tions and arguments, and the growing ten dency to drift from the moorings of religious belief, to stray into the glitterng fields of in- fidelity, was deprecated in eloquent and i'm passioned words. The preacher handled his theme in a masterly manner, at times rising to the sublimity of eloquence and bringing home in words that burned conviction to his attentive listeners. It was sermon not easily effaced from the minds of those who heard it, well calculated to inspire the fickle and weak of faith with a consciousness of their fault. The singing of the choir, under the direction of Miss Fanny Stack, the or- ganist, was excellent and evidenced careful training on her part. Miss Rose Mallahan and Miss Nelly Stack at the offertory sang the beautiful hymn 'Guide My Footsteps" their fine voices blending most beautifullv and being listened to with close attention. The services this week will be for the special benefit of the male members of the conpre
 gation, who have already shown much inter- est in the work. The mission has been thus far markedly successful, and it is thought the work this week will be equally successful

 THE GREAT REPUBLIC A1LEGoRY AND TAB-
 LEAUx.
 The rehearsals for the production of this celebrated allegory at Peck's Grand Opera House, on Friday and Saturday evenings and matinee Saturday afternoon of this week, are progressing with spirit and thoroughness that promise a brilliant artistic success. Some 600 of our young people will partici- pate. This exhibition has national reputa- ton, having been produced in most of the principal cities of the country during the pest 20 years, from Maine to California, fiIl- ing the largest auditoriums. Its success in Brooklyn. Prof Hager's home, has been marked, as will be seen by the following from the Duly EGgIe of that city
 The Academy of Music was crowded to it's utmost capacity at the matinee on Saturday This is. the fourteenth season, comprising forty presentations of the famous Ale gory in this city. Prof. Hager has great reason to feel gratifsd at this fiattering testi- monial, and the confidence the citizens of Brooklyn have manifested in their townsman, and their increased interest in his entertain ment for many years, reversing the adage that ia prophet is not without honor save in his own country"

Killed by a Falling Tree.

James Reilly, Employed by the City, is
 Instantly Kfned-verlict of the COro-
 CTS Jury.
 On Saturday afternoon about 1 o'clock James Reilly, who was about 9 years of age and laborer in the street department, was instantly killed at the corner of Chapel and Park streets by falling tree. To make room for & catch basin, fair-sized elm tree had to be removed, and this work was being done under the direction of Park Superin- tendent Andruss, while the catch basin job was in charge of Thomas Granfeld, sewer inspector. Reilly and Michael Mulcahey were in the hole digging, when, without any warning, the tree toppled and fell. Gran field, who stood on the sidewalk, shouted to the men of their danger. Daley succeeded in getting out of harms way all right, but Reilly, in trying to climb up the embankment, was caught by the falling tree, and crushed to death. The unfortunate man expired all most instantly after uttering single groan Coroner Bollman was notified, and he caused a jury of inquest to be summoned. The jury were J. P. Cleaveland, Cforeman,) B. G. AL len, A. G. Scranton, William E. Thompson, E. Barnett, E. Dickerman.
 The jury met at Coroner Bollman's office yesterday morning at 9 o'clock and after hear Ing some evidence proceeded to tne P!ace where the accident occurred, when MT. Mul- cahey, who was one of the men in the hole at the time of the accident, explained how it happened. The jury then proceeded to the
 late residence of the deceased, No. 25 Vine street, and after viewing the body they heard other evidence. After consultation they re- turned a verdict that the deceased came to
 his death from the accidental falling of the tree, which cause of death was owing to a lack of presence of mind in the deceased. The jury did not censure anyone in conse' quence of the accident, it being apparent to
 them that had Reilly not attempted to escape from the hole his life would have been saved.

North Church.

Rev. pr. Hawes preached yesterday morn Ing from the text in Genesis, 21st chapter and 18th verse: 'And God opened her eyes and she saw the well Of water" His sermon well illustrated that Gods plans differed from ours and that everything worked together for good to those that put their faith and trust in God. A large audience was present morning and afternoon. The afternoon was devoted to the communion service, at which time three persons were added to the church. Few were the changes in the sittings at this church, it being almost the universal custom for the regular attendants to occupy their old seats. The old choir, with only one or two exceptions, has withdrawn from further ser vice and new one organized, with H. K. Beach as organist. The first quartette is composed of Miss Palmerton, Miss Clark and Messrs. Edward Dutton and Eugene DeForest. Miss Palmerton has sweet voice, and has the ability (which some do not possess) to pronounce the words with distinctness which very much adds to the power of music. She is supported by Miss Ramsdell, Miss Dyer and Miss Leavenworth as sopranos Mir. Dutton, the leading ten or, has the aid of Messrs Moves and Hotch- kiss Miss Clark, the leading alto, has Misses Wooden and Dutton to strengthen in the chorus, while MT. DeForrest, the leading bass, has Messrs Mills and J. DeForrest to complete the chorus on his part. This new choir sang yesterday with much acceptance to their hearers.

 Some four hundred persons were present at the Park Saturday afternoon to witness the ball game between the Providence and Yale hines. Yale went to the bat at 3:15 and secured two runs, but their opponents quickly tied the score. Yale gained lead of two runs in the next inning, and held it un- til the eighth inning. In the ninth inning the scores were tied again. Amid great enthu- siasm Yale went to the bat and secured three runs by fine hits by Lamb and Walden, and then the college men blanked their opponents rnd so won the game. Yale played brilliant fielding game throughout, making but one error.
