Monticello, n. Y, Nov. S.-The deer
hunting season in Sullivan County open
ed today and will continue for fifteen
days. There are probably nearly a
thousand hunters in the forests near
Forestburg and Highland.
The farmers in the deer country expect
to reap a harvest from New York and
Brooklyn sportsmen, who are unable to
distinguish between a COW and deer.
Last year a number of cows were shot
and the owners received fancy prices for
them. This season they have purchased
extra cows and turned them loose-each
with the name of the owner on a metal
tag tied around the animals neck.
The first accident of the season occur
red this morning, when Chester Lupton,
Of Monticello, was shot in the mouth by
Joseph Newkirk. The boys were playing
deer hunting" Several of Lupton's
teeth were knocked out and the bullet
passed through his tongue.

EASTER EARLY THIS YEAR

New York, March 22.-ln spite Of
the dressmakers' strike, which affects
principally the factories on the lower
Eastside, New York is ready for the
great Easter parade tomorrow. II the
weather is fair it is estimated thai
100000 will march in the parade along
Fifth avenue. Bermuda has sent its
share of Easter lilies and the prices
are higher than usual, in keeping with
the increased cost of living. All of the
leading churches will have special
musical programs. At st. Patrick's
Cathedral 1t is expected that Cardinal
Farley will preach and bestow upon
the congregation the blessing sent by
Pope Plus X.
Not since 1918 has Easter arrived
sooner than this year. In that year it
came on March 90. Not until after the
year 1000 will it come so early again.
Sixty-seven years ago and fifty-six
years ago, respectively, Easter came
on the same date it does in 1913 The
next year when Easter will pay an
early visit will be in 1910, when it
will arrive March "a.
The latest Easter of the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries was in 1883,
when it fell on April "a. In 1S4S and
1905 it came April %. Last Easter
was April Z. AS Easter is the most
important of all the movable feasts of
the Christian Church, it determines
all the rest. Hence next year Ash
Wednesday comes February 3, Ascen-
sion Thursday May /, and Pentecost
May II.
Easter never can come earlier than
March %, and the only time it did or
could do this from the year 1901 to
1000 was in 1918. That was made pos
sible by having a full moon March q,
and the following day being Sunday.
That coincidence does not occur more
than once in century, and it is only
then that the feast of the Ascension
can occur in April, and then April 30.
The rule provides that Easter shall
be the Sunday which follows the four
teenth day of the calendar moon
which falls upon or next after March
21st.
