MORE EASTER SERVICES.

A New Ritual for the oSwedonb0rgiaDs.
A full account of the services in most OF
the city churches will be found on our

The New Church people, or Sweden

called, held Easter services in their Tenn
pie in North Queen street. The children's S
meeting commenced at 8 o'clock a. m.,
and continued until 1880, at which
time the regular services followed.
conducted by the leader DR.. s. 8
Rathvon, who read a discourse on the
spiritual resurrection. The music, consist
ing of anthems and the chanting of the
Word, was very fine. Formerly the New
Church did not pay much attention to the
observance of the holidays of the old
churches, but recently they have adopted
a new service in which special provision
is made for the observance of Easter,
Whitsuntide, Christmas aud other holi-
days.
st. Paul's Methodist.
The pulpit of this church was prettily
decorated with growing flowers. A beau
tiful wax cross with the Easter lily in the
centre was presented by one of the lady
members to the pastor, Rev. J. Linde-
muth. The pastor preached in the morn
ing and Presiding Elder Dickerson in the
evening. on the resurrection Of the body.
st. Luko's Reformed Mission.
At St. Luke's Reformed church, on Ma.
rietta avenue, Rev. w. F. Lichliter, the
pastor, conducted an early service at six
o'clock in the mornings The music was
notably good, the church choir being as
sisted by St. Stephens choir and part Of
the college orchestra. The floral decora-
tions were beautiful, consisting of 4 cross
and a large pyramid Of flowers at the
base of the pulpit, and an inscription
above the pulpit i'll green's, THE Lord
Has Arisen" At 1O4 a. m. the COM
munion was administered, class of nine
being confirmed, three on renewal Of faith.
The afternoon Sunday school Easter fes-
tival was largely attended and also the
evening service.

attended. In the afternoon there was a
childrcn's meeting, and Easter cards were

ing Rev. Hill, of Columbia, preached to a

Easter Monday.
Ordinarily Easter Monday is a big day
in this city and is marked by large at
tendance of country folks, especially when
it falls in court week. Partly owing to
the uniavOrablc weather, and more partic-
ularly because they are holding back for
day is slim.

Another Building Set ON Fire.

About 10 o'clock last night an attempt
was made to burn a frame tobacco shed
situated ON the property of Hlrsh Bros,
on Rockland street opposite the school
building and near the Betz property,
where the fire occurred ON Wednesday
night. There was pile of tobacco stocks
and other dry material lying against the
building and in this the fire was started.
It was discovered in short time and was
soon extinguished by persons residing in
the neighborh0od. Several boards were
slightly burned and that was the extent of
the damage

= 4. Crime.
Fiftesa years ago George Gottsohall
was the proprietor OF resort In Cedar
street. in Reading, known as ''Buck hail, "
which during the war was frequented by
soldiers passing through Reading. 1t was
in this place that David Good, a soldier, is
said to have met Gottschall, Samuel But
terweck and Wm. Eyler in October, 1865,
and to have got into an alteration with
them and q certain John Tmly, who is
still at large, and whose present residence
is unknown. Good was badly beaten, and
the next morning his dead body was found
at q lime kiln in the southern section of
the city, about mile from the scene OF
the previous nights affray. A coroner's
jury made verdict that death was caused
by suffOcation by the poisonous fumes
arising from the kiln. The public was
satisfied with tho verdict, and thus the
case rested quietly for over fifteen years.
Yesterday GOttschall's wife, who is sick
and believed to be at tho point Of death,
make q confession that Good was kicked
and beaten in her husbands saloon until
life was extinct, and the body was put
into bag and carried u mile to tho place
where it was found. Another witness is
said to have seen four men carrying a sus-
picious. looking bundle at late hour and
to have seen them return soon afterward
without it.
The confession of Mrs. Gottschail has
recalled the fact that there were marks on
Goods face and On the heels Of his shoes
as though he had been dragged OF the
ground. There were also several hol s in
his head which the coronei's jury AT the
time decided were caused by falling upon
the limestone rocks in the neighbOrhOOd
Of the kiln. Joseph Good, q brother of
the deceased soldier, has lodged infOrma
tiOn against tho above named men,
and caused their arrest. Gottschall and
Butterweck, who recently embraced re-
ligiOn, were arrested in church, causing
great excitement. Butterweck is also
said to have made confession, and it il
said that this fact. coming to the ears OF
GOttschalrs wife, worried her to such an
extent that, with death staring her in the
face, she resolved to make clean breast Of
everything. The confession made by Mrs.
Gottschall is in the hands of the district
attorney.
The three defendants are about so years
of age, aud the position they occupy in
the community, all of them being church
officers, has intensified the interest in the
case. They sent for counsel imme-
diately, but the district attorney refused
to have them admitted to bail until habeas
corpus proceedings could be instituted,
which will be done.
Good was about 40 years Of age at the
time of his death. He served faithfully
through the war, was addicted to drink
ing, but not of quarrelsOme disposition.
The defendants were his immediate asso-
ciates. The building in which Good is
said to have been killed is two-story
brick struck structure, now used as a
dwelling. d
An associated press dispatch from Read
ing to day says the men had hearing on
a habeas corpus and were discharged,
there not being enough evidence to hold
them.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
THE LEAF.
Local Tobacco Market.

The report of the tobacco markets in
New York and Philadelphia for the week
past will be found on our fourth page.
Contrasted with tho activity which prevail
ed some weeks ago the transactions among
local growers and buyers may be said to
be dull &; and yet there are many growers
who want to sell and many dealers who
want to buy, and who do buy when they
find leaf that suits them in quality and
price. The difficulty appears to be that
the growers ask more for their leaf than
the buyer thinks it is worth. The recent
lull in buying has had the effect of brin.
ing to town a great many growers, each
with a few hands of tobacco under his arm
as samples Of the crop he desires to sell.
Some sales are effected in this way, but as
rule the buyer likes to take look
at the whole crop before he invests
his money in it. On the whole it may
be said that first class leaf brings AZ high
prices as when the buying season opened,
but that it is much harder to find than
formerly. Lower grades of leaf arc not
much sought after, and arc only bought at
low prices. We have heard of Il lot as low
as s cents through, another at 6 and 3,
another at and 3, and others at not much
higher figures.
Packing at the city warehouses goes on
as vigorously as ever, and in some of them
the stock of baled laaf is sufficiently large
to keep the men busy for several weeks
even if no fresh purchases are made.
Some of the recently packed new toblc-
CO has been put on the market and sold at
fair profit, it is said, though tho terms arc
private. We hear of ono sale Of 1000
cases by one packer and of 300 by another
The 70 crop is pretty we'll played out, ard
only one sale Of about 100 cases is reported
for tho past week.
Below will be found few sales of the
new crop sent in by correspondents.
