Those branches of the (hristiai Church which recognize and celebratc the festivals and keep the fasts of the ecclesiastical year-notably the Cath olie, Lutheran, Episcopal and, to somi extent, the Methodist, observed th; services of Passion week, which culni nated with the festival of Easter, ii unison with the Church of Christen don at large. Appropriate Easter ser vies were also held in the Baptist Presbyterian and Associate Refornie' Presbyterian Churches. The Church having watched "omc hour" with,'its great Head on Hol Thursday night inl the garden of (eth seiaine, while he pray;d with a break ing heart, as the effulgent light of til Easter mxon revealed His sweet, sa< face in an "agony of bloody sweat."

But the Church has dried its tears o symlpathy and comes forth bright ain joyous onl Easter Sabbath norning, fo its "hope is born in balm." From the midst of an armed band o "sixty" stalwart soldiers, set as a watch lie lresents himself to his brethren ii the glorious light of the resurrection And as the sun goes forth from it pearl-portaled palace to drive thi darkness away, and lift the world t, life and light and liberty, so likewis did the Sun of Righteousness arise wit] the gifts of health and healing for all o1 that beautiful Easter morning; mnor radiant and fragrant in tender menic ries of merey, gentleness and peace i1 the midst of sorrow and suftering thai all the lovely flowers that the Fathe had created to "worship Him in th beauty of holiness!" Hence the bride adorned herself i1 beautiful robes to await the Bridc groom's coining. If we celebrate the important ocei sions of this evanishing life, how mucl the more should we celebrate not oiil the nativity of the most princely c men and the most illustrious of suffti ers-the Son of Man !-but in a speci: manner his resurrection from the dead for upon this the hope and perpetuit; of the Church depends.

E. 1'. _eMclintock, preached 1 from ('or. 13::-4: "For I delivered first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins ae cording to the Scriptures ; and that he was buI ied, and that lie rose again the ; third day, according to the Scriptures." r One of the peculiarities of the Gospel is e that as an ethical and religious system it is buildel on facts. The most stu 1 pendous occurrences are related as having transpired, and out of these are evolved the principles that should enter into our hearts and become in corporated in our conduct. Two of r these facts are related in our text, the f death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazereth. i The attendance at this church was good. There were no decorations. C ('iILDItEN's 3IEETIN(.

Mr. John Hawkins, who has bee clerk at the Newberry postolime f< the past few months, left here on Tue day morning, March 26th, ostensil for the purpose of paying a visit to ht mother in Orangeburg. An ugly ca: of robbery of the postotfice by him 1: developed, the total amount of whir has not yet been ascertained, but it wi probably reach several hundred d. lars. On Saturday, March 24th Mrs. He bert, the postmaster, gave him of hundred and ninety-two dollars: wit which to purchase a check on (harle toi. He went to the bank and bougl a cheek for $17 and pocketed the r miaining $175, but entered in the bool as having sent the whole amount. C Tuesday the acknowledgmlelit of Sa urday's remittance came back, showit that only $17 had been sent, whit was the first intimation that anythlii was wrong. M1r. Hawkins went from here to Flc ida. The morning he left lie issuc three money orders in favor of himst on Orlando, Sanford and Ferialdin Florida. The ones ont Orlando at Sanford were each for $1t. It is n known what the amount of the Feria dina order was. He collected the o1 on Orlando himself, and wrote the pt0 master at Sanford to express him ti money for the order oin that ofice Pensacola. He was in Fernandiai and collected his order on that oftic which is supposed to be $10) also. T] postmaster at Sanford had heard of I robbery of the office here and did n send him the money. The applieatic for the orders were left here and wr ten out by him as follows: The one collected at Orlando was made by H. Setzler, on New York, for $1; the o on Sanford wrs made by J. G. Rikai for $1.:0; and the one on Fernandi was made by Mrs. A. F. Cromer, Atlanta, for 50 cents, and this amiou of money was put in the IoIey ord drawer. These applications were, course, fixed up, as none of these p: ties weie in tow.. He was in Orlando on Thursday, 29 of March, and collected his order ti day. There may be other orders drawn a similar manner that have not yet be discovered. On Tuesday his trunk was exaliin and a number of letters belonging the Luiheran Visitor were fou opened and the money taken o1 Amongst these was a money order I $7.50 and a cheek for $4, payable the order of Win. P. Houseal that h not been used. The amount actual taken from these letiers, so far as have been able to learn, is only $1.5. but there were a number of co miunicationis inltend(ed for p ublicatic Somec of these letters came here duri February. Mrs. Herbert says that for seve: months the stamp department has be short each month from $25 to $30, a: she had repeatedly called his attenti to the fact. This affair may explaint shortage there. This affair of Mr. Hawkins was ciu a surprise to our people, as lie was w thought of here, and nol oneC susp)ect himl of any such transactions. There are rumors afloat thlat there somethling else back of all this ti may, in someC way, exp)lain his trans: tionis, but of ihis we know nothing.

Birge has returned from Greenville, where she has been visiting for several weeks. A few bales of cotton have been sold the past week, some good cotton bring ing9. 4 Our delegates to the Y. M. C. A. con vention report a full meeting and one of great interest and encouragement. Good Friday did not bring the usual number of persons to town that is usu ally seen here on this occasion. Messrs. Jas. C. Schumpert and C. H. Cannon will leave here tomorrow (Thursday) to attend the Business Col lege in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Rev. Mr. Schaeffer, of Newberry, is conducting a series of meetings in Grace church for Rev. C. A. Marks. The at tendance is good. Sidney J. Kohn's little fifteen month boy had the little finger of his left hand cut off with an axe I a two and-a-half year old brother. The little one is do ing well. The recent rains have retarded farm work very much, and the farmers are getting "away behind." Wheat and 1 oats are looking remarkably well, and now promises a fine yield. Services were conducted in Grace church by Candidate M. J. Epting, of Newberry Theological Seminary, last Sunday. His theme was the Resurrec tion of Christ, a.in was replete with pro found thought. Cotton will continue to come to ou market in some way. Our friend, Mr C. H. Cannon brought a bale to the de pot to-day on a wheelbarrow. We have never seen a bale of cotton hauled on a wh(eelbarrow before. It was a heavy genuine bale of cotton. Our old friend, Mr. Thompson Wheeler was much concerned one day last week in finding a hole about five feet square and about four feet deep in his yard. Thompson thought at first it was caused by a "quake" or a "shake" or some other disturbance. Upon investigation it was found that the sinkage was not the result of any seismic disturbance, bui is the result of the sinkage of an old well which, at some time in the past history of our country had been dug, and evidently from soime cause, had been filled, in all probability with timbers, which, in the process of time, decayed, and during the wet season "dropped in," hence the "hole." When, and by whom this well was sunk seems to >e shrouded in mystery. No person, as we learn, is living who remembers anything about any well on the premises save the old one now in use. Vanderbilt pays a Frenchman $10, 000 a year for simply being boss over his pastry viands etc, for his table. A certain widow pays $1,000 a week, in board, rents, dresses, etc., in a hotel South. Vanderbilt pays his 10,000;a year to his chief cook, while there are thous ands of his fellow beings in his own city, who are suffering from want of the commonest necessaries of life. We never read of these thing without think ing of that fellow that our Savior spoke of more than eighteen hundred years ago, who was "dressed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day," while a poor beggar lay at his gate begging for the crusts that fell from the rich man's table. Verily he received his reward. YUBE. POIA RIA. We now have nice warm weather, the farmers are very busy plowing. Tihe public road was worked below this place Monday morning. Miss Agnes Wessinger spent a week in this section quite recently. A great deal of rain has fallen in this section for the last week or two, the water courses have been very full. Mr. and Mrs. WV. B. Spence, of Pros perity, spent Sunday night in this see t ion. Communion services were held at St. Pauls. There were 11 received into the church by confirmation. The commun ion was very lar'ge. The prayer meet ing in the morning was condiucted by the members of the Y. M. C. A. at that place. Y. F. MARRIED. At the residence of the bride's father, Mr. C. D. Spearman, by Rev. B. F. Corley, March 26, 1&88, Capt. Henry T. Fellers, of Washington, D. C. and Miss Mary Spearman of this County. At the residence of the bride's father. Mr. Henry Hendricks, by Rev. WV. J. Langston,~ April 1, 1888, Mr. Wmn. H. Werts and Miss Lucretia Hendricks, both of this county. DEATHS. Mrs. Hanie Hentz, wvife of Mr. Thos. M. Hentz, died at her honie in this county on March 28, 1888, aged about 41 years. Died in Newberry at the residence ofi Mr. R. T. Caldwvell, Edith Halfacre, the little daughter of Mr. Win. Halfacre, agedl4 years. IN MEMORIAM. Mrs. D)r. P. B. Ruff-Born July 26, 1819: Died March 21, 1888. On the morning of the 21st of March, 1888, the spirit of this godly woman winged its flight to the home of the redeemed-the land towi'rds which her feet had long been tending, for she was in very truth one who followed in the footsteps of the Lord, and ever found her chief delight in his service. She had long been a member of the Methodist Church in Newberry, and sel dom was she absent from the sanctuary, esteeming it a sweet privilege to join in the worship of God, and no trivial excuse could keep her away. The common heart of our community goes out in deepest sympathy to the aged -companion so sorely bereft, for it was upon her that he leaned, as the feeble upon a strong arm. But "He who tem pers the wind to the shorn lamb" will also send grace sufficient even for this hour of trial. There are many sad hearts in Newberry at the loss of Mrs. Ruff, for all who knew her looked upon her as a friend. kind and full of sympathy-never turn ing away from the needy or distressed. and ever ready to minister to the suffer ing. Many now will "rise up and call her blessed." A FRIEND. Advertised Letters. PosT OFFICE, NEwliERRY, s C. List, or letters unclaimed and advertised A pril 1. 1s.
