SAD DEATH OF MAGGIE PAYNE.

This village has again been saddened, this time by the death of Maggie Payne, which occurred after a few hours of sickness, on Friday morning about l o'clock. She was about the street on Tuesday, in her bright, cheer ful way, and bid fair to have long life. Fifteen years ago she came to gladden. and brighten the home of Philander and Kate Payne, and on Sunday at o'clock she was borne from her home by six young men, with whom she had mingled in life as school mate and friend. The procession was led by l2 young girls dressed in white, carrying flowers. She was taken to St. Bridget's church, where impressive services were held. Rev Father Walsh officiated and took for his text the words, "Weep but little," handling them in a very touching and appropri- ate manner. After the services she was carried to the cemetery just back beautiful pearly white casket amid a profusion of flowers. A beautiful wreath with her name, Maggie, as a token of esteem from her teacher and schoolmates, also lovely pillow bear ing her name from her aunt, Mrs Han nah Daniels, and her son Thomas, were placed upon the grave as the last token from them to Maggie. How true it is "In the midst of life we are in death. :" The bereaved friends have the sym- pathy of the entire community.

CHILDREN s DAY AT THE VILLAGE
 CHURCH.
 Your correspondent is requested to state that the Sunday school exercises on Children's day, here, at the church on June 5, will take the place of the morning sermon, instead of being in the evening as in former years. The seats will all be free, given up for the use of the children and parents, so that all the parents may feel free and most welcome in coming aud witness ing one of the most pleasing church services of the year. It is a day fond- ly remembered by every child who participates and many times with pride on the parents part in seeing their children's efforts materialiZed in song and recital, as one of the good re- suits of attending the Sunday school. The church has been we'll filled in past years during the Children's Day exercises and the writer hopes this year will be no exception in changing the time from evening to morning, which has been thought by the super intendent and others to be advisable.
