Friday Morning, April 10, 1889.
The Close OF Lent.

Last Sunday, April 14tb, being The Sunday
next before Easter, is called Palm-Sunday,
and is so called because it was on the first
day of the week in which lie WAS betrayed
and cruclfied, tia, our blessed Lord entered
Jerusalem in triumph, the multitude which
went before and which followed Him shout
ing "IIosanna TO the son of David" strewing
their garments in His way and waving palm
branches before Him. The usual custom of
''blessiDg the palms" and distributing them 10
the people was observed in all the Roman
Catholic churches where services were held
1t ia interesting to remember that the cele
brated Latin hymn, Gloria huS ct honor, a
translation of which was sung ON last SUM-
day in many CT the Episcopal churches, was
composed by St. Theodulph in the ninth cen
fury, to describe the procession of palms
which in the early church Of England was
made by parish congregations and religious
communities, who together wen! to the Ca
thedral.
1t is very beautifully ordered that in the
midst Of the sOrrowful season of Lent and at
the entrance ofih solemnities of Holy Week.
there comes this day in which we may salute
the Man of Sorrowsss our King and rejoice
before Him. 1t was in this week, among
other beautiful lessons connected with His
passion, that our Lord showed His great hu-
mility by washing His disciples feet.
To-Day, Good Friday, the church COM
memoratcs with solemn services and rigor-
GUS fasting, the awful sufferings and cruel
death upon the cross of Jesus Christ, as an
atonement for the sins of the whole world.
With o-morrow-Easter Even-Holy
Week ends, and Sunday, April 21st, will be
the glad feast Of Easter-the Queen of Festi
vals-when In all Christian lands will be JOY
fully celebrated the Savours resurrection.
BY an act of Legislature Good Friday
has been made legal holiday. The banks,
the public schools and public offices will &C.
cordingly be closed.

Obituary.

Mrs. Rcbecca j. Wood, wife OF Mr. James W.
Wood, died suddenly at her residence, near
WILMA, last Friday evening, April l2th in the

which Mrs. Wood died were peculiarly sad and
distressing. About four weeks ago several oil
the children were taken with scarlet fever
The neighbors, of course, while willing and
anxious TO do all in their power to aid the
stricken family in their hour of need, feared TO
go to the house, and the burden of minstering
to the afflicted ones fell mostly upon Mr.. and

blage present, from Matthew 9th chapter, 4ith
verse: "Therefore, be ye also ready; for the
Son of Man cometh at an hour when We think
not" The interment was at Stemmer's Run.

graphic account of the terrible disaster
to American and German war vessels at the
Samoan Islands, on the 10Th and 17th of
March, is told by the Associated Press cor
respondent at Apia. The hurricane was the
most violent ever known in that part of the
world. The vessels, it is said, had plenty of
coal, but their engines were not powerful
enough to enable them to make any progress
in the face Of the storm. The bottom of the
sea at that place being composed Ofhard reefs
OF coral, the anchors would not hold, and the
vessels drifted about helpless in the small
harbor, frequently colliding with each other,
until at last they were driven ashore. The
Vandalia and Trenton were utterly destroy
ed, but the NIpsic has been gotten ahoat
again, in damaged condition. The English
steamer Calliope, having powerful maChin-
cry, made Roadway against the storm and get.
ting outside of the harbor escaped injury.
Ofthe German vessels the Eber and Adler
were totally wrecked, but the Olga was say.
cd with little damage. One hundred and fif.
ty lives and three millions of dollars were lost.
The natives eXerted themselves to the ut
most to save the lives of the unfortunate sea.
men and for this have earned the gratitude of
the whole civilized world. The account adds
another thrilling chapter to the story ofthe
cruel sea.

New SURVEYS TO BE MADE.-On Monday
morning orders were issued to suspend wor k
all along the line of the Deer Creek and Sus-
quehanna Railroad. The delay, however, will
only be temporary, as new surveys have been
commenced, aud it is thought work will be re-
sumed inside of thirty days. The first line
located was run with view of making the least
expensive line between Bel Air and Stafford. 1t
was afterwards found that the road was toe cir
cuitous and the approach to the river on too
low ground Additional surveys were then made
and the road located upon higher ground. The
latter location, while desirable in every respect,
was believed to be too expensive, and accord
ingly work has been stopped until route can
be found which will afford suitable grades, on
higher ground, at a cost within the limit the
managers of the enterprise have laid down.
The prose- nj route may finally be adopted, after
all.
The new surveys will be made under the drec-
tion of Major Richard Randolph, some
of whose engineers arrived in Bel Air on Tues :
day. Mr.. B. Z. Cutler, ChrIef Engineer of the
d. C. and s. road, has gone to fulfil a business
engagement in Ohio.
MesSrs. McCabe Bros. have already graded
about three'quarters of mile Of the road.

Our goods are as staple as the

FISH PLENTIFUL.-Shad and he rring, accord
ing to Mayor Seneca, of Havre de Grace, are
more plentiful in the susquehanna than was
ever known before at this early date. Herring,
especially, are SO thick in the water that the
fisherman have been obliged to take out some
of the meshes of their seines to let them out ;
otherwise the great weight of fish would burst
the seinea. George w. Carver Il Co. have
had as many as l, 900 barrels of herring in their
large seine at one haul. The floats catch each
about $500 shad daily, and the gilers, ofwhich
about 500 are at work, take about 200 shad to
each boat per day The increase in the num-
Der Of shad taken, compared with previous
years, is said to be owing to the recent storms
on the bay, which have destroyed the fish traps
and pound nets, that prevent the fish from
reaching the head waters of the bay.

proclamation, and that at least 100000 per.
sons will enter the country within the next
thirty days. A number have already passed

border and have hidden in the woods, ready
TO come out on the 22d instant and take up
desirable sections of land. The boomers, as
they are called, who entered the territory and
built huts notwithstanding the interdict of the
government, naturally desire to hold on TO
the land they have chosen and as there is not
enough good land available to satisfy the
horde of land hunters, it is believed that
desperate fights will take place among them
for the possession of faverite spots.

The pension mill at Washington appears

pension who had anything at all to do with
the late war. Between the Corporal and AS
sistant Secretary Bussey of the Interior De-
partment, former pension decisions have been
reversed which will cost the government
more than a million dollars. One order alone
increasing the amount 10 be paid to certain
pensioners will cost $4,000 a year. There
is danger that this thing may be carried too
far. Those who are honestly entitled to pen
sions are interested in their fair distribution,
lest public sentiment may be aroused which
will demand thorough over hauling of the
pension lists and consequent trouble to pen
sioners of every class.
