HAPPY EASTER.
Beautiful Services in the Va
rious Churches.

Bright and beautiful was the day
which is held sacred the world over as
the anniversary of risen Saviour, and
the different churches of this city were
crowded with those anxious to hear
again the oft told story of the resur
rection. Particularly was this so
where the churches had made especial
preparation for the observance of the
day. The churches which devoted the
entire session to Easter services were
the First Presby terian, Second Pres
byterian and Central NJ. E. In the
First Church the Easter services were
held in the morning. The floral dec
orations in the pulpit were beautiful,
while the happy faces of the children
added to the interest of the occasion.
After voluntary by the organist,
the choir sang in their able manner
the Ie Deuna-'We Praise Thee, O
God !" The remainder of the service
was as follows:

Successful Launch.


All was activity down at Rice
Brothers ship yard on Saturday, about
one O'Clock. The cause of the unusual
commotion was the fact of a launch,
which was to take place from the ways
where SO many vessels have slipped
into the water The boat was the
''Rebecca G. Schock," q. schooner of
twenty six tons burthen, and built for
John A. English, of Philadelphia, and
is designed for the oyster trade on the
Delaware shore. When PIONEER re
porter u arrived at the yard and
clambered up the ladder which led
from terra firma to the deck of the
vessel, all was ready for the launch
with the exception of putting a
guard rail on each side A small army
of boys, the Captain who is to com
mand the vessel,an the reporter. were
upon the deck, as was also Councilman
James Keen, who gave dignity to the
occasion. After the vessel had been
set up, stroke or more of the heavy
sledges and the boat commenced to
move until at rapid gait it struck its
native element stem first and foated
gracefully like a swan upon the still
waters of the Cohansey. For a
minute the vessel sailed out and then
was brought to a stand still by line
attached to post on shore.
Then came the work of hauling the
boat into the wharf. The small army
of boys and Councilman Keen seized
hold of the rope and hand over hand
pulled the vessel back, and the crowd
retreated to the shore amid the
huzzas of the people on the wharf.
The launch was very successful and
the boat is beauty. 1t is the fifty
fourth vessel that the Rice Brothers
have built since they engaged in bust
ness twenty six years ago.

Because They Kissed.

OIle Oh our ODlDlDuSSeS was called up
to one of our boarding schools Fri
day afternoon to get passengers for
the 3 O'Clock p. m train The busmen
arrived in good time and set to work
to load the trunks. Then came down
the pretty girls who wanted to go and
they of couse had to bid rybody
fond good bye, for they were to be
away for nearly q week. A sweet kiss
was given all around, and then some
lady remembered her pocket book was
in her room and away she hurried
after it.i9ThenIof ,sheamust kiss
all good bye again until the time was
getting short, and the busman had to
be quite cross before he could get his
precious load all in. Then commenced
the trip to the depot The load was
very heavy and the roads were very
bad, and it was utterly impossible for
the horses to make time. They tugged
and painted, until dripping with per-
spiration they stood at the West Jer-
sey depot and the train had been gone
just six minutes. The party then en-
joyed themselves until the $40 train
left.
A corrected statement of the trouble
at Carmel. The proprietor never
stated date that he would make a
deed for the chapel. What he did say
was, that they could use it for their
worship, and when it was certain that
they would make settlement of it,
he would make deed to them as a
synagogue, which the proprietor is
perfectly willing to do. But it is not
sure yet about the staying of the peo
pie, as most of them who came six
years ago, have paid nothing on their
lands they contracted for, and quite
number are waiting for purchaser
for their contract, and move away.
Now under these circumstances the
proprietor don't feel that the time is
yet come to deed the chapel But he
has been trying TO get them to organ
ize as congregation, and elect trus-
tees which they have so far been un-
able to agree upon. AS soon as they
do that the deed is ready at Mr.. W. B.
Trenchard's office.

More Trouble at Carmel.

There is trouble at Carmel again A
number of the residents of thatplace
claim that the owner of the property
promised them that if they would set
tie there, at the expiration of five
years he would give them church in
which to worship. The five years are
now past, and as yet the gentleman
has refused to fulfill his promise, ac-
cording to the declaration of the Jews.
A few days since one man, who had
more faith in the owner of the prop
erty than the others, made wager
with another one that the deed for the
church property would be given by
certain date The conditions were
that if the deed Was not given by the
time specified, he was to wheel the
winner of the bet two miles and a half
in wheelbarrow. The date is past,
and the wager is to be paid next week.

PROHIBITION IN RHODE ISLAND.

Gov. Davis delivered his inaugu-
raj on the 18th In referring to the
prohibitory law he said;
That the law is not more efficient
and it is sadly inefficient-is for
want of sufficient public sentiment
to support it. 1t is a thankless task
20 attempt to enforce law which
has not the hearty moral support of
the community to sustain it. Laws
may represent public opinion, but
their enforcement is dependent al
most wholly upon the public will as
contradistinguished from public
opinion, and without a will the way
will not be found. The Prohibit
ory Law 80 called is written upon
our Constitution and Statutes, and
self respect as we'll as the obligations
of our office demand that we do
what we can to accomplish its pur
pose. The courts at present taking
action in the premises are so cum
bered with business already brought
that the delays to final action defeat
the purposes Of the prosecution.
He showed that the revenues OF
the State had fallen off over $780,
600 on account OF the removal of
the revenue from licenses.

The 4 per cent. bonds now OUT
standing amount to $73S,000,00O, to
which the national banks hold
$125,O0O,000 The larger part of the
balance is held by insurance and
trust companies, savings banks and
holders of trust funds. Now, the
proposition is 10 pay these holders
Il per cent. Of the unaccrued inter
est for the time the bonds have to
mature, or, in round figures, $780,
500,060, less p per cent. on that
sum, which the government would
. deduct by reason of the discount,
making the payment $l74,624,OOO.
Such a cash payment would enable
the government to save p per cent,
or more than $5O,OOO,O00 for nine
teen years upon the money that
would otherwise be disbursed.
This is scheme to prevent re-
duction of the tariff tax.

West Virginia Democrat
is owned and conducted by company
composed exclusively OF Democrats
for principle and not for revenue.

1t is the only paper IN West Va.
which depends for support on its
circulation outside of the county
where published. The Managers
carefully exclude from its columns
everything which is not of equal in
terest in every part of the State.
They give the people purely State
paper. West Virginia needs a pa
per whose conduct and policy viii.
not be affected by the local issues
and local prejudices which may pre-
vail in the community where pub
lished.
The DEMOCRAT is not time-serv-
inc, timid newspaper; it is not
afraid to express opinioos.
The Managers believe that it Is
the best policy to publish all the
facts and to influence public opinion
only by appeals to the intelligence
and patriotism of the people. The
enlightened convictions of its own
ers are not subordinatcd to the pro-
fits of their paper.
1t will express its opinions boldly
respecting public men and public
measures, but will never meddle
with the private affairs of any indi-
vidual.
1t will advocate equal taxation.
1t will expose the unlawful prac'
tees of railroad managers which in
iure our State.
1t Will advocate such legislation
as will confne railroad corporations
strictly to the business of common
carriers.
1t expects to become the trusted
and recognized representative of De-
mocracy in this State. To this end
we have secured as contributors to
our editorial columns several of the
ablest and best informed men in diff
ferent parts of the State. We be-
lieve. and we think its editorial col
umns avouch the fact, that the
DEMOCRAT has behind it as much
painstaking capacity and as much
bold, decisive thought, as any paper
in the land. 1t is very certain that
we have at least three regular con
tributors whose rank in the intellec
tual world is equal to any in the
country. d.
The DEMOCRAT is the only paper
entirely free from local complica-
tions. that was ever offered to the
people of West Virginia.
