EASTER EXERCISES.

How the Churches Observed the Day
Eve join in the Easter rejoicing
And echo each gladdening strain,
While pitiful minor is voicing
Our own secret doubling and pain
We weave him a shroud of our sadness,
We cover his smile with gloom;
And drive back the angel of gladness
Who waits at the door of the tomb
We know not our own hearts have hidden
Our Christ in a grave of our own
We know not our own hands are hidden
To roll from the threshold the stone;
While fearful eyes, dropping and weary
With watching in sorrow and fear,
Might see, with the heart-broken Mary,
That the Lord is alive and is near

On Sunday last at congregation
al meeting of the members of the
NJ. E. Church of this place, it was
unanimously and enthusiastically
agreed to endorse the action of the
official Board in regard to thorough
renovation of their church.
The improvements are to be very
thorough and comprehensive. They
take in the entire building wherever
repairing or renovating is necessary.
Among other things the main audi
ence room is to. be refrescoed; the
floor recarpeted; the benches retrim-
med and stained; the windows al
tered and colored, cathedral glass
substituted for the plain; the Sunday
School room will be carpeted and
chairs will take the place of the
benches; the parlor is to be elegantly
furnished by one of the Sunday
School classes; and the infant de-
partment carpeted and otherwise
refitted. In addition to these changes
an entire change in the system OF
heating has been determined on,
with the probability that steam will
be adopted.
These repairs have been in contem-
plation for several years and have
been postponed so long that the re-
action against shabbinness has
taken possession of the membership,
and now they mean business. The
congregation is encouraged too, by
the fact that DR. Fullerton, the new
Pastor, is man possessing the ener-
gy, business tact, and backbone to
assume the leadership in such an
enterprise and carry it forward to q
speedy conclusion. There are nc

A change of venue has been grant
ted for the trial of James Neff, one
of the alleged accomplices in the
murder of William McCausland.

term of court will be held in Wash
ipgton county the second Monday
of November, and the Neff case is
set for trial then.
The case of Frank Clark, Sr., was
called up for trial on Monday but

The case of Mary Haney, charging
VIM. Robinson with attempt to rape,
has been continued till the next
term.
Judge Jacobs will return to this

There are four Morgantown gen
tlemen living who have become
Judges, and they are R. L. Berkshire,
Jno. A. Ollie, j. Nj. Hagans and t.
P. Jacobs.
The court in session now will ex-
tend over greater period than any
court since 1861, owing to the great
length required in trying the land
cases, in which juries that agree are
just happen-so's and to the number
of small misdemeanor cases to be
tried.

after brief illness of dropsy OF the
heart, jackson Smith, aged IS years.
Mr. Smith had been complaining of
poor health for some time but was
able to go around till about week
before his death, and the sad event
proves quite shock to most of US,
for portion heard the announce
ment of his decease without any
knowledge of his sickness. Mr..
Smith was one of our best and most
respected citizens.
In his death his companion loses a
kind husband, his children we'll
beloved father, the community an
honest citizen, the church pillar,
and many of us mourn for him as
for sincere and valued friend.
He had been for many years q
faithful member of the NJ. E. church
South and his exemplary life testi-
fed to his christian character.
His remains were inferred in the
family burying ground near his late
residence, on Saturday at 2 P. NJ,
the funeral services being conducted
by the Pastor Rev. Burns, assisted
by Rev. Shaw, of Arnettsville cir
cult, and were followed by many

one of these divisions, and there he
