My physician succeeded in crush ing and removing stone. In a little while the old trouble reappeared and I feared that another operation would be necessary. A friend at the time suggested that get 8 bot tie of pr Kennedy's Favorte Remedy after using the medicine a short while, found it was doing me good, continued it's use and am happy to say Dr Kennedy's Favorite Rem- edy entirely cured me and have never felt any symptoms of the return of my old trou- ble.

Easter at St, Johns.

The Easter services at St. Johns church were of special interest and at- tended by large and enthusiastic congre- gations, morning and afternoon. The chancel and choir were handsomely dec orated with profusion of choice plants In pots, among which were several callas ln bloom, double tulips, hyacinths, ger aniums, heliotrope, palms and rubber plants; and, on the super-altar and pull pit, the bouquets of cut roses and carna- tions were of the sweetest and best. The music, though not elaborate. was well rendered and the solos by Mrs Nellie Tucker were sung with remarkably good effect.
 The text was Colossians, III, ?, Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. The plain, practical sermon by the rector was listened to with earnest and careful attention. A large per cent. of the members of the church, with considerable number of visitors, received the Holy Communion.
 The amount of offerings, at both ser vices, was S101 9, of which S34 was given by the children and presented at the afternoon service, which was called the children's service. This service was held at 1 o'clock. The children sang in processional and recessional and the choir and organ were accompanied by a quartet orchestra: First and second vio- lin, cornet and trombone, which produc- ed pleasing effect with the chorus of children's voices. The service consisted of shortened even song, the ministration of the sacrament of Holy Baptism for both infants and those of riper years and the presentation of the children's Lenten offerings and the distribution of the grouped pictures of the missionary bishops of the church.
 Eight children and seven persons of riper years were received into the Holy Catholic church by baptism, as follows: Grace Fairchild Terrill, Ruth Ruby Downs, Heloise Agnes Post, Annie Lou isa Radcliffe, Walter Somers Crofutt, Mabel L. Louise Orgelman, Edward Gar field Orgeiman, Joseph Dayton; Edith Pearl Guthrie, Jennie Harrison Brown, Bertha Isabel Crofutt, John Dayton, Charles Howard Bassett.

Easter at St. Rose.

The beautiful church was we'll filled with reverent and decorous worshippers. The large altar gorgeous with waxen ta- pers and potted plants. The fine music, the priest with golden and giittering vestments, the altar boys, the solemn mass. Miss Helen Gaffney, niece of Father Fox and Miss Julia Murray had charge of the floral decorations. Over 50 wax candles were burning on and around the altar. Potted geraniums, roses, callas and other beautiful flowers were bestowed in every possible place on the altar and, on each side, ladder was placed on which flowers were artistical- ly arranged gold paper was used for a background and the large candles wound with stripes of gold paper. In addition to this, choice bouquets of cut flowers were placed on the smaller altars. ''Sanctus" was rendered by a quartet composed of Miss Sadie Gaffney soprano, Miss Maggie Halpin contralto, James Callahan and James Rowe bassos and James Brown tenor. MT Rowe came from Bridgeport to assist in the Easter
 music. Another quartet was rendered
 by Miss Sadie Gaffney, Miss Jennie Cole
 contralto. Messrs Brown and Callahan.
 Miss Susie Carroll. a eontralto, sang
 solo in Benedictus. In "Qui Tollis,"
 Miss Mary Callahan sang soprano and
 Miss Sarah Halpin contralto. ssQui

 and James Callahan. The other music
 was "Vidi Aquam," "Wells' Third
 Mass" "Hec Dies. by Werner, in which
 a fine solo was we'll rendered by Miss
 Sadie Gaffney, "Regina Celi." Miss
 Sadie Gaffney, always popular and bright, is too we'll and favorably known to need especial mention. She sang sweetly, as she always does. Miss Mary Callahan has voice different in quality from Miss Gaffney's, but exceedingly pleasing, and rich in tone. Miss Susie Carroll's voice showed to great advan. tage in s'Benedictus." James Brown sang we'll. as did James Callahan. Miss Anna McCartan presided over the organ : in masterly manner.
 The Easter offering was for Bishop : McMahon. Father Fox followed the : collector and took down the names of all who gave dollar or more and will read their names when the amount of the offering is announced. The Roman Catholics certainly set all other denomi.
 nations praiseworthy example by their iberality toward the church. The six altar boys were attired in purple surplic- ], es, with white lawn, sleeveless sacques trimmed with white lace. During the mass, communion was administered to a
 few.
 The banns of marriage were published for two couples. Father Fox announced that the fine cathedral in Hartford would be dedicated, three weeks from Easter Monday, with not cent of debt : on it.

The plaster business is booming, this Spring, at W. c. Johnson's mill. Nova Scotia plaster, we are told, is not ship ped into this country as of old. The time was when vessels from Nova Scotia, bound for New York or harbors plaster for ballast, delivering it at Bridge port at very low figure. The farmers, driving to Bridgeport with their OK teams, hauling produce down and draw ing back a load of plaster rock, left it at the old mill now owned by Mr Johnson, where it was broken and ground at price agreed upon. This day has gone by and traffic by water has increas- ed to such an extent that vessels coming in have freight offered, which pays well, placing them in d position where they can charge usual rates for plaster. mak- ing the expense of transportation much greater. Barnum Curtis & Son of Step ney disposed of what they had on hand, last Spring, and will not handle any, this season. At Southbury, where they have kept stock on hand for several years the supply is either gone, or engaged. We learn that MT Johnson put in l2 car loads of about l50 tons and has a good supply fresh ground. Writers for farm journals and experienced farmers of New town agree that there is no better fertil- izer, price considered, for grass lands, or growing crops of corn or potatoes, than Nova Scotia land plaster. A farmer from BridgewaGer values it so highly that he drove nine miles, one day last week, coming to Newtown, where he found supply at the lplaster and grist mills of W. c. Johnson.
