ana IN direct disregard OF the weather
nan's' probabilities, Easter morning
dawned clear and fairly pretty, although
strong northwest wind was blowing
which marred to some extent the com.
forts of the day. Nevertheless the ladies
had good opportunity to air their new
gowns and to show off to advantage their
new spring head-gear. And YOU may be
sure they did it. There are several STYLES
this spring, probably more grotesque
than heretofore; and it must not be sup
posed that the writer is acquainted with
I the vernacular of ladies' gowns-nor of
ladies hats. But we remark that they
the ladies-look pretty in them no matter
how grotesque or uncouth the style. The
churches were, as usual, nicely trimmed
and decorated with flowers and ferns and
( evergreens, as became the Eastertide The
Rev. Hurst preached an appropriate ser
mon on the Resurrection of our Saviour,
at the NJ. +. Church; and the Rev c. R.
McCready, of Laurel preached at the
NJ. p. Church in the morning. The reg
ular Easter services were held at this
church in the evening. The day passed
pleasantly. the thoughts of those relig-
iously inclined dwelling on that great
event of over nineteen hundred years ago,
when He who came into the world TO
save sinners" gave His natural life for
the ransom of the word, and made pos
sible this day that we commemorate as
His resurrection from the dead.
"-i,R praise the tomb is void,
Where our Redeemer aid
sing az our bonds destroyed.
Our darkness turned to dav;
Weep for the dead no more.
Friends be Of joyful cheer,
Our star moves 90 before,
Our narrow way shines clear"
