BRUNSW WICK.
Easter in the Churches-The Killing of
Hippard-JOttings


BRUNSWICK. March 26.-Easter Sunday
opened up dismally. From O'Clock "A. IN.
to O'Clock it rained necessarily; and
such rain, thunder and lightning. The
streets were flooded and the day dark and
dreary. Such a series of lamentations as
went up from the hundreds of fam ones
I who intended to come out with their new
| spring dresses and hats. No Ouse; the in
| eXOrable rain-clOuds lowered over the
city and not a glimpse of the sun could
be seen until late in the afternoon.
The churches were well attended, and
the music at the Catholic and Episcopal
llan Churches was unusually fine. At
the former Mr.. Dudley, as Organist. assist
ed 10y Miss Sloan and Mrs. Wright, gave
DE MOrtis Mass. Mr.. Buck, who is a splen-
did tenor, assisted. The rendition of the
music was beautiful and the decoration
of the church very pretty.
At the Episcopal Church. Mrs. \. . Du-
BignOn was Organist. and some excellent
music was rendered by the regular choir.
Messrs. W. T. Glover and III. L. Dunn as
sisted.
The Easter offering and Sunday school
celebration in st. Marks Episcopal
Church was postponed till next Sunday,
owing to the Inclement weather.
The annual election of wardens and
trustees takes place to-day in that church.
The announcement was made at the
Catholic Church to-day that after this
week there would be an additional priest
for this city, which shows what progress
that denomination is making. The assist
ant priest. who will arrive next week, is
Father Shea, a native of Savannah, re-
Gently ordained.
Capt. H. &. Taylor was before His
Honor, Judge Lambright, on Tuesday last
for a preliminary hearing in the matter
of the recent killing of Columbus Hip
pard. The examination was certainly
thorough, and Mr.. TaylOr's counsel, and
himself as well. insisted on the most eX-
acting and rigid line of investigation.
The witnesses were crOSS-questiOned by
the father and brother of the deceased.
The result was the acquittal of Captain
/ Taylor and the tacit admission of even
the family of the deceased that the act
was juStitiable under the circumstances.
Comptroller General Wright was in the
city during the week on official business
his first visit in over twenty years. He
attended school here before the war. He
was prepared to find change in the old
town, but was astOniShed and completely
Il stranger when he arrived. The place
has grown so much of late years as to
puzzle anyone who knew the various
roads and bride paths from house to
house which characterized Brunswick
twenty years ago.
Excursion parties on the water are be-
coming numerous thus early in the
season. st. SimOn's lighthouse is the
favOrite point. The tower, machinery,
dwelling and grounds are kept in
immaculate cleanliness, and the delight
full location and view to be obtained from
the tower, make it most attractive place
- - -~a--- fs',ssHH business cares.
There seems to be some prospect of a
daily paper here in the near future, and it
is rUmOred that II. W. Grubb, Esq. of the
Darien Gazette, will inaugurate the enter
prise. There is no one better qualified for
the undertaking, and none who could
command more solid support in his old
home than Ma Grubb, for we claim him
as a native, and we expect him sooner or
later to grayitate 10 his old field. Daily
OF weekly he will be welcome back.
