A pretty sight was witnessed by passers
on Main street on Tuesday morning. The
fountain on the lawn at the residence OF J.
g. Rnlon was throwing its jet of water
high in the air, and in coming down the
high wind caught the spray and dashed it
on the fence, surrounding the basin where
it was quickly transformed into the most
beautiful fringe Of icicles and filigree work
which shone and sparkled in the bright
sunshine like necklace of diamonds. The
fountain itself was cased in armor of Ice
and the whole thing was SO pretty, and so
unusual for an April day, that nearly every
one who passed stopped to admire and ex-
claim over its beauty.

Easter services in our churches were of
the usual interesting character, with appro-
pirate sermons, good music, and pretty
floral decorations. The attendance was not
quite SO good as usual, owing to the threat

steady cold rain. Easter gowns and hats
were conspicuous by their absence.
