YESTERDAY WITH CHURCHES
DELIGHTFUL WEATHER WITH FLOWERS
SONG AND GLADNESS.
Services at All the Churches Well Attended
and the Decorations and Anthems
Were Special Features.

Sunday last was Easter Day, the
first that bore the figures 10 to its date.
1t was warm and balmy typical in
every respect of the life of the new
year i'll bursting bud and opening
fower-commemorative in every way
of the Reurrection from the dead of the
Lord of life and glory. But for
this Resurrection, the world would
have been left in gloom, and it
is worthy that the churches should re-
member the annual event in the high
est peans of praise. 1t is not always
so, but Sunday stood out as more than
the peer of any other day of the season
that had preceded it, and the churches
had more than their usual congre-
cations.

st. Peters, if not having the abun-
dance of floral display that has some
times characterized it, was neat, tasty
and attractive in the floral arrange
ment about the chancel of geraniums,
lilies, begonias, etc. but Easter lilies
seemed an especially appropriate deco
ration of the baptismal font. Music
was a leading feature of the occasion.
The list embraced Christ onr Passover,
Gloria Patri, TIE Deum, Jubilate,
Hyric Eleison, Gloria i'll Excelsior, &c.
The Otfertory, eff with all your hearts
ye truly love me, from an aria in the
oratorio of Elijah, was rendered by J. E.
Hoffecker. The sermon, an apprecia-
tive one by the rector, Rev. Henry
Thomas, was appropriate to the occa-
sion, on the "Risen Lord" The even.
ing service was devoted to the usua

FOUR DEATHS FROM MEASLES.
An Awful Malady Visits the Home of Will

We published in our last issue an
account of the death from measles in
the family of VIM. Holland, living on
this side, but near Bombay Hook, of
the death of his wife and infant. Fri
day two more children died, Ruth
four years of age, and on the after
noon of the same day, Miss Margaret
Holland, aged II years. They all
seem to have taken pneumonia on the
measles, which caused the strange IA
tality, for measles, with care, is usually
not fatal. Two other children, down
with the same disease are, we hear i'm
proving. The interment was at Towns
end, Rev. H. s. Magee officiating.

DIGGING FOR GOLD COINS.
Large Excavation Made at Belmont Grove by
Oreamers of Wealth.

On Thursday night last large hole
six or seven feet deep and about as
broad, was dug near the creek in the
far part of the grove in the rear of
Belmont Hail. 1t is not known what
this digging was for or by whom,
but the presumption is that it was for
money. Some one evidently had rev.
elation in dream that coin was bur-
led there. This makes three times at
least that money has been dug for in
this woods.
About twenty years ago an effort was
made, not far from the digging above
referred to, and about three years ago
another attempt was made in the upper
part of the grove. The diggers doubt
less learned in each case how tickle
are dreams.
