 St. Edwards Church Notes: The three services held on Easter Sunday were very we'll attended. At the two masses ill the morning there were 14OO parishioners. The vesper ser vice brought out $50. The church goers represented all the national ities within the parish confines. The beautiful weather permitted all mem ters living outside the borough to at tend the forenoon services. Scores of people drove eight and ten miles, and a few braved the bad roads for thir- teen miles. All this proves, as the pastor said, in his two strong, simple sermons, on the Resurrection, that the faith of most people is still solid in that fundamental dogma of Christi anity The Easter music was very we'll selected and rendered and appre ciated The collection offered for par ish needs surpassed by hundred dol lars any other ever taken, and, best of all, the offerings represented better than ever tefore all the races of the parish. The Easter Monday social was equally successful.
 Three fires that might have had serious consequences but for the eff fective work of the fighters, broke out tetween noon and evening yesterday. The first notification of fire came when Warden J. M. Larned received word that a forest fire had started in the woods near Babcock's crossing on the River road. This spread rapidly thgrough the underbrush and by even- ing had burned over 200 acres. Be- fore it was finally extinguished the burned area reached the Holland road on the west, and on the north side came down in back of Hyde park. It took a gang of fifty men to get the fire under control. About 5.30 o'clock in the afternoon an alarm was rung in for a fire in "Patten's woods," above Prospect street. By the time the hose cart and engine arrived on the scene the fire was under control. About ten acres of brush were burned. At 10 o'clock last night an alarm was again rung in for a fire on the Glynville road which, it is thought, was revi- val of the previous one, as the two burned areas connected. Although it was at times feared that buildings would be endangered, the loss was not very heavy.
