 1 Easter services, last Sunday were un- usually attractive. Rev Phillips preach ed very interesting sermon on the ] Resurrection, and in the evening, Rev ] Dr Eddy delivered a fine discourse, having for his text ''All Hail, :" the salu- tation Christ gave immediately after rising from the dead, to the two Marys. Great praise must be given the choir, who furnished music of a varied and appropriate character, in manner worthy of high commendation. The improvements and decorations which have lately been made in the church, have made it an object of pride to those who attend it, but the magnificent floral display which was there exhibited last Sunday, made it appear more beau tiful than ever, and excited the admira- tion of the large audience. The charm ing day and the pleasant way in which it was celebrated, made Easter a deligh- ful occasion with us.
