for the lovers of this sport to turn
out, and for several hours the
jingle of the bells was quite lively.
In the afternoon it was too soft,
but snow remained on the land
scape for two days.
The Easter Sunday School ami
versary at st. Peters Church was
the center of attraction for the
young people of the town and the
church was over run as it usually
is on Easter Sunday evening. The
services were interesting in the us
ual exercises of which singing
formed the larger part, but there
was an absence of the former spec
tacular class missionary offerings,
banners, etc. The amount of the
missionary money contributed was
| $51.52. The exercise closed with
short and appropriate address by
/ the rector.
i Initiatory steps were taken at
the M. E. Church on Sunday by
bringing the subject to the atten-
tion of the congregation looking to
the purchase OF new pipe organ
to take the place of the present
one. which it is considered has
served its day and generation and
done all that ought to be asked of
it. A new instrument, one to meet
the wants of the church will cost
from $1,000 to $500 which will no
doubt be speedily raised when of
ficially set before the congregation
for this is a matter that concerns
them rather than the regular
church authorities.
The Cooper Brothers have during
the past week sunk an Artesian
well at the new residence of John
B. Cooper a distance of As feet be
low the surface The iron pipe is
driven until there is considerable
resistance when a drill which
works inside, opens the way. The
work attracted considerable atten-
ton. This is the only one for pri-
vate use in town, the Messrs. Tay-
lor having one at their machine
shops which supplies the water for
the engine. In addition to cheap
ness, the desirable feature is that
frogs, snails, insects and drain wat
er can never get into the well and
affect the health as is too often the
case.
