EASTER SUNDAY.-All the churches
had large congregations yesterday. The
preacbers told the oft-repeated story of
r., resurrection. Grand choral and
solo music poured forth from the choirs
ami in every way Easter was celebrated
religiously in manner fully equal to
o,ber wears. Washington. st. Asaph,
Prince Duke, Royal and most of the
central thoroughfares presented an ami
mated and charming scene after the
services at the various churches were
oy r. 1t was the annual dress parade
of ociety which marks the coming of
f5e Easter-tide. Womankind, decked
ont in the inevitable Easter bonnet and
caarming new dresses, turned out en-
ma,se to attend church, and when the
services were over the streets were the
Grand promenades. 1t was almost i'm
POSSIBLE to see a lady who did not have
on a new dress. The Easter bonnet
reigned in all its glory, and divided
honors with the new spring gown, with
the balloon sleeves. The ladies looked
their best, and the men who accom-
panied them were not behind in the
display of wearing apparel. For a
while in the afternoon Washington and
King streets were alive with people,
5ut the cloudy, rainy weather which
followed about o'clock had the effect
of clearing the streets to some extent.

EASTER FEsTIvALs.-The Easter Fes-
tival of Christ Church Sunday school
was held yesterday at p. m. The
children marched in procession by
classes singing Onward, Christian Sol
diers." All the carols were heartily
and beautifully sung. This is always -
special feature on such occasions, and
brought forth a we'll deserved compli-
m ent from the rector. Each class sent
up it's money offering by a member,
which was received by DR.. Suter, while
another brought portion of the floral
design, received by Mr.. G. L. Boothe,
who arranged it in order, which when
completed formed the two tables of the
law with large cross thrown aslant,
formed with the words "Jesus Christ, J"
type of Him who through obedience
to the law redeemed man from its curse.
The collection, which was for diocesan
missions, amounted to S145. Total for
the year 1885.
The festival of St. Paul's Sunday
school was held in the church at five
o'clock, and was beautiful sight. The
bright banners and lovely flowers car
ried by the children were not more
bright than their happy faces. AS the
floral emblems and the offerings of each
class were carried up the rector, Rev.
P. P. Phillips, made some very beauti-
full and appropriate remarks on the
names of the classes, which was a very
pleasant feature of the exercises. Among
the emblems was an exquisite pyramid
of lilies given by the infant class 10 low
ing memory of the late lamented pas
tor, Rev. Geo. II. Norton. These were
placed in the font-a most appropriate
place-as be had baptised most of the
little ones. The rector made some very
impressive remarks on the presentation
of this sweet memorial, also of lovely
cross made OF white pinks presented by
the school in afIectionate remembrance
of one who had been found faithful in
his day and generation, Mr.. Stephen
A. Green, sr. The singing of the child
rem, under the direction of Mr.. Sher-
man Fowler and led by Mr.. George
Evans, was excellent, showing much
careful training. The children's offer
;ngs amounted to S1S5.O9.
