BASTER SERVICES At the Church of the Holy Com? forter. Easter at the Episcopal church was most distinctively observed. A risen Chri3t was I tb? borden of every chant and byran. The story of tbs resarrectioo was repeated in the lesson for tbe day "An Ascended Lord" j WM tbe centra! theme of the sermon. Indee : all tbe services poiated to, deepened aod ' emphasised the great festival. The walls of tbe cboTcb were all so pure, fresa and white by tbeir recent calsomioiog-as fair as if so many Sister lil ties bad been strewn all over rbe sacred surface. Tbs cbaoc-l had jost bad spread over it a newly-woveo carpet. Around tbe chancel was a new railing and wubin bad just been pieced a bishop's cbair and another new ehatr. Upon tbe communion table was a massive brass crossand two vases of tbe same material, a;Bo a bookrbolder these last focr being recect memorial gifts to tbe cborcb. Tbey all came aod were fixed in time to add honor to tbe Easter div Io oonsequeoce of tbe gr6at scarcity cf flowers the dressing was not as elaborate as asnal, still tbe grouping of *rbat lew that were secured was most effective. To the right of the pulpit there was a croas, entirely covered wJtb violets, wbicb drooped tbeir modest, purple beads as if suggestive of tbe great feumility of which that cross oore sucb un? mistakable witness to. At the base af tbis ?oral cross were two ?iagularly beautiful Jap?nicos aod around were blended tue oolors of various geraniums which freely ?mitred tbeir sweet incense. From within ?be foot ferns drooped their long pendant eteras, partly eooeeaiing witb tbeir oeaatfully .aryed geeen leaves the snowy marble of that wv*red receptacle. Around the reading desk **td pulpit were grouped various potted plants, some of whtcb bad bloomed io time &r Baster. Tbej all bad written over the? in invisible letters, "OB, all ye green things ?DOO the earth, bless ye tbe Lord, praise Him .od magnify Sis name forever " Probaolr tibs most beautiful flowers wbicb adorned ?bis temple of tbe Lord were contained in Bbs two brass vases already alluded to on ?be communion table. These, surrounded 4y tbe memorial emblems of a Savior's death, ?ke tbe voice of tbe two angels at the tomo, .eetaed to proclaim the. resurrection The music OD tbe occasion was simply perfect; indeed received deservedly ou ail sides the greatest praise. Tc Mrs. Sumter great oredk is due. Some of the pieces sung were : Anthem, Christ Our Passover.-Rogers. De De nm-VanBoskerck. Jubilate-Rogers Offertory, Easter Dawn-Dressier. Solo (Miss Iogram).

Covingtoo, tbe rector, officiated His sermon was mest impressive aod eloquent a: times. His text vag from St. Luke, 24th chapter and part of tb? otb and 6tb verses, "Why seek ye tbe firing amoog tbe dead; He is not bere, bot ie risen." He described briefly tbe hasty interment of our Lord io the new-hewn rock, alluded to tbe womeo coming wstb spices to tba; sacred sepulchre; the angela' language io them formed tbe basis of bis discourse Tbe t'Xt contained two thoughts-an ao oooocement aod a gentle remembrance Tbs fact of the resurrection could have been so easily disproved at that time oooe bota fool coo ld bave made such an announce? ment. For 190* "years the church bas wit nessed to the stupendous fact of the resurrec? tion. Some Christians admit tbe reeurrec-. hon, bot deny its great moral teaching. Onr Savior's life, His example. His resurrection, furbish us an inspiration. Our Savior's ris? ing differed from that of Lazaros, io tbat the latter returned again* to the grave At the present day young men asd women profess to find much in tbe effete religions of the Sis' He advised against this fad, wbicb wae not even novel.

Tbe large residence on tbe corner of Wash? ington and Calhoun Streets, owned nv Mr. Perry Moses, but occupied bv Mr R. 0. Purdy sioce bis home was burned a few months ago. was bnroed Monday between 12 and 1 o'clock. The fire started on the kitchen roof, being caused by a defective flue or a spark from the chimney ?od had been bum? ing for some time when it was discovered By tbe time the alram was giveo and tbe fire department callpd out the roof of the entire rear portion of the bouse was io firmes and tbe fire bad spre&d between the ceiling and rcof over almost the whole house and was burning fiercely. A crowd gathered quickly and while the fireoteo were doiog ?heir utmost to extinguish the flames, many williog bands removed tbe furoi'iore from tbe bouse Very little of the furniture was Jost, *ven the carpets beiDg removed from the floors from most of the room?. The furniture wes, of course, more or less damaged in the burry of removal, but Mr Purdy's loss was cot heavy, and it ia said, is covered by insurance. The bouse it practically a total loss oniy a wreck of it remaining, despite the efforts of the firemen, who worked as they always do. Tbe boose was valued at $3,000 aod was insured for $1,700 or $2,000. Doriog the progress of the fire the roof of Mrs. DeLorme's residence, on the opposite side of the street, was ignited by a spark, but was cooa put out before any damage was done. A RECORD OF THE WAR.

The question of ioaogurating a system of sewerage for our city is by no meaos dead, Mr. Editor The committee appointed to tacare the vote of tbe freeholders has beeo handicapped by tbe fact tbat so many with to know what the system will cos? before tbey put tbeir sames to a paper Biking for tbe istuanee of bonds. Tbis refusal does not show tbat these gentlemen are opposed to tbe measure ; but it does show tbat tbey are cautious and prudent When certain of our citizens bad an audience before the board of aidermea a request was made tbat letters be written, by the authority of ibis board, to varions engioeerr and contractors, so that approximate figures could be gotteo as a basis for our actioo in requesting ibe free? holders to sigo a petition asking that bonds te issued. I seems that tbe aldermen did not feel it within tbeir province to write letters, aad bence no actioo was takeo by them at ?ll. Wubin the last few f?ays, how? ever, the said letters have beeo written to engineers and contractors, and we hope to be able to give some encouraging facts before many days It a>ay be tbat we misunderstand the posi? tion of ouf board of aldermen, but it appears that tbey, too, are baodicepped It lies witr>:o their province to carry out any meas? ure set on foot by our citizens, bot they have no right to inaugurate anything They cnn arrange for the bond? and for perfec.iog the sewerage system, if the citizens will author ze them by a vote to do so; bot they do feel it to be within their power to inaugurate the movement. This msy be law and it may b? equity and it may te lots of o'ber things; but it sppeat8 to a novice to be a good way of shutting off the posstoihty of public im? provement.

A.nd tbus baviog no bead and no means of acting in concert, tbe sewerage and many other questions of puotic interest are jadly handicapped It bas beea wisely suggested that our city should purchase and own the system of ligbtiog and tbe water warks The rev?cue would pay ti e interest on -the bonds, and eventually retire them The money paid for electric ilgcitiog wubin tbe past ten years would have bought the plant and largely maintained it.

From the many anecdotes of Bamp fylde Moore Carew's rogueries in Ar? thur Montefiore Brice's essay on that "Amazing Vagabond" we quote one in which Carew and his gypsy crew who had rigged themselves up as cripples and gathered at Bridgewater fair to plunder the junketers came off second best. When the mayor of Bridgewater heard that this motley group of crip? ples had arrived, he announced to some of his friends that he was possessed of a power they perhaps little suspected that, in fact* he could make the blind see, the deaf hear and the lame walk. Bets were freely made that he could do nothing of the kind, and thereupon the mayor had the gypsies arrested and immediately brought before him and, after hearing their harrowing tales, or? dered them to be confined for the night in the lockup. I About 10 o'clock at night, however, the municipal surgeon entered with a lantern and announced that he would examine them all in the morning in or? der to report to the mayor whether or not t?ey really suffered from deformity of one k'nd or another, and he went on to say that those who were found to be Impostors would be treated by the mayor with severity so extreme that, moved to pity, he would allow any such misguided wretch to escape there and then from the lockup on condition that he immediately left the town. At this intelligence a great commo? tion arose, and in less time than it takes to write it the whole crowd surg? ed out of the lockup, flinging away their crutches and wooden legs, patch? es and bandages, and made off down the town at topmost speed, the blind leading the way with unerring steps, the dumb crying aloud their fears, the deaf replying to them, and the lame sprinting along at a rattling pace. Now, just opposite the lockup, on the farther side of the street, stood the wit? ty mayor and his friends, convulsed with laughter at the success of his scheme.-Argonaut Artistic Sue-You said you were going to marry an artist, and now you are en? gaged to marry a dentist!
