Building Association.

The annual meeting of the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Saving Fund
and Building Association, was held on
the evening of April 18th and all the old
directors and officers were reelected. /.
The Secretary reported 1853 new shares
had been subscribed. Only twenty y
five stockholders were present at the
meeting. One of the directors said
yesterday that it was lamentable
fact that the stockholders of this AS
sociation, representing in money some
$4,000, seemed to take very little in
terest in the organization, and left
everything entirely with the directors
These gentlemen are strictly business
men, and have been very fortunate in
their rinvestments. and the stockholders
take the success as matter of course.
The time might come, when these men
may be mingled into some unfortunate
investment. and then what a howl
would be raised. 1t is certainly
proper for the directors to desire the
stockholders present at their meetings,
and take an iaterest and aid in the
business of the organization. If the
attendance should increase there would
be more interest in Building Associa-
tions and the people as whole would
be far better off.

Strawberries and Asparagus.

The market keeps moderately well
supplied with Florida Strawberries,
which sell by the crate at from so to 40
cents a quart. About IS chests were
received from Charleston last week,
but they were picked too. green and
did not bring more than 25 and 30
cents a quart.
Charleston is also sending pretty
good article of asparagus, considering
the early season, which sold wholesale
for 40 and 45 cents a bunch. A pro-
duce dealer was in receipt of half a
dozen punches of Jersey asparagus last
Saturday which sold readily for 60 cents
a bunch, but it is not expected from
that section in any quantity for some
time yet. Other Southern vegetables
continue to arrive in increased auan.
titles. but there is little change in the
prices.

AN EASTER SUNDAY.
THE GLAD DAY ONE TO ZEE
REMEMBERED.
The Beautiful Flowers and the
Special Services III the
Churches.

AT half-past six o'clock Sunday
morning one could not have hoped for
the delightfully."- clear day which fol-
I lowed. The rain fell in torrents, and
there was every appearance OF its con
tlnuing, but by eight o'clock the clouds
were lost from view, and the bright
beautiful sunshine shone forth in all
the gladness of joyous Easter morn
ing.
The pretty green budding trees
seemed to take on fresh loviness every
minnie, and when the church bells
rang for morning services, the streets
presented rare sight. The thousands
OF church goers were vending their
way toward their favorite worshipipg
place, and the la!ies were resplendent
with spring attire and their heads
were covered with the dainty Easter
bonnet, of which so much has been
said. Flowers were very conspicuous,
both at the corsage of the ladies, and
| at the lapel of the coats of the men.
Nearly every church had made some
elaborate attempt at decoration al
though beyond crosses of green moth
ing in the way of designs were shown.
Palms and lilies were the favorits
decorations. and together with some
flowers of more color presented a
beautiful scene.
All the churches had services in the
morning and the pastors preached,
and all the sermons were appropriate
to the time. In the afternoon in some
OF the churches there were exercises
by the young people, with address,
while other Sunday schools had charge
of the services in other churches. The
choirs of all the churches have been
lrehearsing for some time music ap-
propriate for Easter, and these talent
| ed vocalists added much to the ef-
fsotiveness of all the services. Several
of the exercises are worthy of extend
ed notice, but justice could not be
| done them in the limited space at
hand. Suffice to say that the Easter
exercises as a whole were pleasing,
| instructive and profitable.

FOURTH Nj. f. CHURCH.
To be dedicated sunday, April
2Sth. by Bishop FOsS.

The beautiful brick church on South
avenue, is nearly completed, and on
Sunday, April 2Sth, Bishop Foss is ex-
pected to dedicate it. The contract
for the building was awarded to Joseph
Steelman early last Fall, and he has
erected a building in every respect a
credit to himself and the society for
which it was built. The materials used
and the workmanship throughout, are
superior in every respect. The archi-
tect was Harvey Smith, q form er
Bridgeton boy. The finishing touches
are being put on, and early this week
the pews were put in and the carpets
laid.
1t is proposed to have q union SER
vice of all the Methodist churches, in
Commerce street Church on Sunday
morning, at which time Bishop Foss
will preach. In the afternoon there
will be platform addresses by other
persons, at the church on South Ave,
and in the evening Bishop Foss will
dedicate the church.
The church under the pastorate OF
Rey. John Whitton, has very prom

Not to he Drawn.

There will be no other petit jury
drawn for the May term of Court than
that already published. Judge STRAIT
ton met Judge Reed Monday and ex-
planned to him that the jury was
drawn in the presence of the lay judges,
and a duly authorized Deputy County
Clerk. This of course was according
to law, and Judge Reed Immediately
revoked the previous order to draw a
new Jury.

Struck ny Lightning.

The dwelling house on the Flomerfelt
estate, at Manahawkin, was struck by
lightning during a recent thunder
storm, and badly wrecked. One end
OF the house was torn to splinters, and
a dog was killed. The family of Amos
Corles, who occupied the house, were
uninjured, although one of the chill
dren was slightly stunned.

The Mayor has granted Enoch H.

full Justice was done. A year ago an
attempt Was made to rout the good
things provided, but they learned that
Steward Whitaker was too much for
them, and profiting by their experience,
few Of the members went away suffering
with dyspepsia, brought on by over con-
fldence-unless it was Dave. For a full
hour,the party fingered around the fes-
tive board, and the willing aids were
kept constantly hustling, passing this
and that to the various parties.
After the dinner, came segars and a
tour of inspection about the place.
The new spacious wagon house was
generally admired, and the great farm
was found to be in the best possible
condition, rejecting credit upon the
Steward and Trustees.
When the Board reconvened, Mr..
al, orI pff -
was passed authorizing the Collector
to have the annual statement published
for use of the members of the May
meeting. After awhile through a
series of Misunderstanding the Board
got pretty well tangled up and Mr..
Trenchard had the entire matter laid
over until the next meeting.
Mr.. White presented the case of the
prisoners who have been faithful in
their attendance of Brady, the sick
man, giving it as his opinion that these
men should receive some compensa-
tion. The matter was left with the
Sheriff and Mr.. White.
Then came heap of trouble. Mr.
Richards moved to recind the resolu-
ton passed in the morning for meet
ing of the Board at Dividing Creek,
| which was carried. Mr.. Townsend
then moved to meet at the same place
on July 18th. Mr.. White offered a
substitute to lay the matter over until
the next meeting, and this received a
majority vote.
Mr.. White then caused considerable
discussion by moving that the Dividing
Creek Bridge committee proceed to
the repairs of the bridge, which was
| lost
After a great deal of oratory Mr..
Nickel offered resolution that the
Board meet upon the bridge on We'd
nesday, April Gath, at ten o'clock. This
was carried.
The members resolved to dine in IA
body at the Hotel Cumberland on the
day of the annual meeting.
Then the Board adjourned and the
partings were said and the inmates of
| the institution waved their hands to
the receding occupants of carriages
homeward bound, and thought of the
great supper they would have from
the delicacies that had not been de-
voured by the guests at dinner.

The Punishment rillcd the Crime

An Augusta Me- storekeeper was form

desire 10 examine the contents OF every
package which his friends deposited in
his store for satekeeping His propen-
stiles in this direction have been effec-
lively stopped, and this is how il hap
pened: A man who suspected the weak
ness OF the proprietor dropped into the
store one morning and left bag, asking
that no one disturb It. The proprietor
walked round awhile restlessly and then
stopped near the bag. He nervously
fingered the string that tied the top to-
gether. There was no one looking and
he carefully united IT, lie was hardly
prepared for the result. A thousand OF
