UNION HOTEL CLOSED.

Chief Yates took possession of the
Union hotel furniture this forenoon
to satisfy "a chattel mortgage. The
hotel was locked and placed in charge
of E. r. Kennedy. Miss Ellefson has
conducted the hotel for the past two
years, and had about thirty boarders
and roomers, who were obliged to
seek other quarters. She has not de-
cided what to do. The probability is
that the building will not long remain
vacant.

grand, inspiring anthem that arouses the
slumbering town to the welcome knowledge
of the advent of this glorious day. Now here,
now there, now everywhere. the lights
appear within the windows of the dwellings,
and the streets are thrOnged with people,
young and old. vending their way from all
directions toward the church, and greeting
one another with loving salutatiOnS of the
day. The Easter service is begun within the
church and is continued there until the
Frightening sky announces the advent OF the
dawn. Then, In slow procession, subdued and
reverent, the people pass without the doors,
and, headed by the trOmbonists, olemnl
ascend the winding hill to their beloved and
quaint old burying ground,
within the closure Of this COnseCrated
spot the congregation assemblies and stands,
in a large semi-circle facing the eastern hili
in fond anticipation of the emblem of it's
cherished faith. A little apart stand the
ministers, and the trombone choir. Thus
assembled, the service Of song and responsive
readings, begun IN the church, is continued.
A sense OF deep. religious awe pcrvades the
gathered throng. rs on this cold, gray morn
ing of the carly spring they await, in spiritual
communion with their departed loved ones,
the resurrection hour. Above the hill the
daWning light appears. Then from the voices
of the assembled hest there bursts a melody
of r%aptured song, a heartfelt hymn of praise
and alteration, a spontaneous symphony OF
joy, that starts in glad expression OF
triumphant hearts, and, mingling with the
full, resOunding gtrainS of swcet-tOned
trumpets and %rcGUnant trombOnCs. arises with
tho w%arhling song of joyous birds in glad
hcsannaG to the splendent sky. For see! a
radiant light O'erSpreads the earth. A
wondrous glory halls the newborn day.
The sun appears in ~fulgcncy sublime-GOd's
symbol Of the rcsurrectad life; and earth and
Heaven in exulting joy peal forth in glad.

mild and gentle spring,
And welcomed It's arrival when we heard a
robin sing.
But now we've ceased 10 pin our faith on
his prophetic song,
For observation teaches US a robin may be

Full many a springlikc morn we've heard
him pipe his cheerful lay,
While Glccful plumbers came to fix our
frozen pipes next day,
Till now when first we see him mid the
ChcerleSs branches MT
We say TO him, mix CumaroGSc! Not on

But now w have II surer way OF telling
spring has come,
For when we're walking out and near a
wild, terrific hum,
And something hits MS in the legs and
knocks us Eallcy-wCst
And makes us kiss the highway with the
bosom OF our vest.
Oh. then, when conaciousncss returns ana

We say, 1.-The bicycles are out! Thank
