Easter was commemoratedi in all the
churches here yesterday. At the
Catholic church there were the usual
Easter services and mass in the morn

prepared some very appropriate mu-

evening Rev. Mr.. Swain preached
good discourse and a responsive
reading was had, with singing; at the
Methodist there were decorations with
plants, flowers and notices, and East
er anthems in the forenoon, the pas

to the day. In the evening there was
a concert service, with singing by the
children,and by the choir and remarks
by the pastor.
Zion's Herald, the organ Of the
New England Methodists, has recent
ly been much improved in form and
makeup and is really editorially and
geographically one Of the best and
prettiest periodicals coming to this
office. While the paper is denomina-
tional in the sense Of reporting the
doings of one branch Of the church, it
is not denominations in general
sense, and everybody who wants
good religious weekly will find it one
Of the very best. We see the pub
fishers are making very liberal offer
at present to trial subscribers: One
dollar pays for the paper till Oct. 1.
Send dollar to Alonzo S. Weed,
Bromfield, ST., Boston, Mass, and if
the paper does not prove to be worth
the money, charge the difference to
the MONITOR.
The slaughter of almost the entire
herd of cattle Of Mountain View Farm
III Burke, and the discovery that some
has caused great excitement in the
north part of Caledonia county. No
body really knows whether his cattle
are diseased Or not, and many will
not know, as the innoculation test is
not likely to be made on all stock un-
til the law makes it necessary to have
a test made The diseased cattle are
supposed to have contracted the con-
tagion in some way from some import
ed animal or animals which Mr.. OAR
ling has placed on the farm. In any
event it is serious affair, the worst
results Of which may not yet have
been felt.
