Next sunday April 25th, is Easter, the
christian festival commemorative of the
Resurrection. This is one Of the movable
feasts. and is always the first Sunday after
the full moon. which happens upon
next after the 2lst day OF March. and if
the full moon happens on Sunday, Easter
day is the Sunday after. This year Easter
Sunday falls or the latest day on which it
can possibly fall Such ease has not
happened before in this century, and will
not happen again until the next century,
in the year 1913. So late a date for Easter
has happened but once in each century
since It's Institution. The earliest date Oh
which Easter can fall March 22d. has oc-
cured only once in tins century, 1918, and
the festival will not happen on that date
again until 1000 The most characteristic
custom OF Easter is the use Of eggs as gifts.
This custom can be traced back to the
Jewish Passover, and also to the theosophy
and philosophy Of the Egyptians, Persians,
Greeks and Romans, among all Of whom
an egg was regarded as the symbol Of the
universe. The practice Of cOloring eggs
for Easter gifts is also very ancient. Red
was considered the most appropriate color,
rs representing the blood Of crucified
Saviour Yellow eggs were supposed to
ward OF infectious diseases, and glded
ones we're considered worthy Of being
Fayal presents. of late years the custom
Of sending Easter calds is very pleasant
one and almost as much observed as the
similar custom prevailing at Christmas and
New Years

usually prolific in funaways and other
casualties caused 10y the trains on the
railroad running through the Borough.
On Saturday, Mr.. Samuel Crispin, of
Sharptown, had loaded seme building
material on his one-horse express wagon
at Cole d Bros. lumber yard and left his
team standing while he settled the bill,
when the > o'clock down train came
through the cut, blowing the whistle as
usual for the next crossing. The horse
took fright and dashed down the yard,
jumping over a pile Of logs with the wagon
after him, and at the street, which runs
down one side the yard, crossing the
track. he turned into the railroad and a
mad race with the train directly alongside
eusued. The wagon was wrecked, every
wheel being shattered and spokes were
scattered along the track for quite a dis
lance The train soon passed the fright
eued animal and he continued after it along
the track, having parted with the wagon
along the way, until near the stock pens
where lie WAS captured. Mr., Crispin was
knocked down by the wagon when the
team started. but not seriously injured.
On Monday, VIM, NJ. Cole was unload

to the wagon from the rear, but was not
able to reach the lines, and seeing a little
child in dangerous proximity he clambered
oat on the tongue of the wagon and thence
to the back Of ono of the horses, succeed
