Sneak thieves were proving around theChurch
during evening services few Sabbaths ago, and
stole two pairs of gloves from overcoat pockets
in the vestibule. The same evening MIR. Bea-
mans team was turned loose from the sheds,
for the purpose of lively runaway The team
though young, didn't run with any vim. and the
only damage was a broken buggy neap. Such
dastardly lawlessness is not only mean and con-
temptible. but endangers life and limb of people

The Easter Entertainment, by the Sabbath
School teachers and scholars, was by far the best
ever presented in this place. The program. ar
ranged by Mr.. Mooney, the efficient Superin-
tendent, was peasngy alternated with Bible
readings in concert, by the teachers, declama-
tions and songs by the scholars, and vocal music
with orchestc accompaniment. Select read
ing by Miss Grant, and a dcclamaton by Miss
Peppard, of Cleveland, "'Ihe Sinking Ship,
though difficult, were exceedingly well rendered.
The flowers in profusion were artistically ar
ranged, and singing birds, added melody and
novelty to the exercises. Mr.. Mooney, on be-
half of the scholars in well chosen and appro-
PIRATE remarks, presented to Miss Myrtle Par
sons an elegant oil painting, as slight token ol
their appreciation of her services as organist fol
the school. Mr.. Mooney devoted much time
and labor in arranging and preparing the exer
cises, and the prompt and unhesitating manner
in which the entire program was presented, dem
onstrates him to be possessed OF great organic
and executive abilities.
