was Easter Sunday. Though in the

promise TO be all sunshine, the people
made ready and went forth. One saw
the society of the town thronging
Main street on their way to the servi-
ces OF the various churches. While
there were many very handsome and
brilliant styles of dress representing
the spring fashions, yet it was not a
full parade, as there were some who
chose not to put on new outfit upon
this occasion The churches were
we'll attended, good sermons were
heard and in some of the churches
special Easter music was performed.
