The lecture given in the Congregational
Church last Thursday evening by Rev. W.
S. Shelton was one of the most instructive
ever given in this place. It was only to be
regretted that there were not more of our

Easter Sunday was beautiful with sun-
shine, and joyous as the Christain’s Hope.
St. “Stephen’s was rendered bright with a
great profusion of flowers elaborately and
tastefully arranged. Great care was dis-
played in the floral decorations, and no pains
or expense spared to make the effect as
pleasing as possible. The church was sup-
plied with new lalnps,-—a gift to the society,
—which was a surprise to most of the con-
gregation. ~
It is rumored that Mr. Bishop’s resignation
will not be accepted. Such an eventis much
to be desired.
A large display of flowers in the Metho-
dist chureh also commemorated the Easter
anniversary. Mr. Platt continues to give
great satisfaction, and draws large audiences.
In the evening he gave his reasons forbeing
a Christian and a Methodist in a most elo‘
quent manner. In his prayer he prayed for
a religion that would make men givi: 36
. inches in all things. All artical probably
needed in all places except this. '

About half past 4 o’clock Thursday p. m.,
Mr. Henry Tine, Balmforth avenue, was '31;
work in his shop when his son who was near
him discovered smoke issuing from down
stairs and both immediately ran to ascertain
the cause. But little smoke was seen in the
direction of some rage in the corner and Mr.
Tine thinking a pail of water would put it
out, went to procure one. When he return-
ed the fire had broken out and was raging
with such fury. that he found it impossrble to
check it. The North street jumper bclng
cl0se at hand, was soon on the spot, but so
rapid was the burning that seemingly In half
an hour’s time the entire building was level-
ed to the ground destroying everything
within it, but one or two old wagons. The
loss to Mr. Tine is about $4,000 With an lu-
suranceof $450. -
Mr. L. T. Haywardoccnpied the upper
story as a paint shop—his loss is about $250.
Six or eight wagons and carriages belonging

The cultivation of long clams, which was
undertaken as an experiment by a number of

readily sell in market for $1 a peck. Some

Clark maintained a good school, so they of
the district said, but after awhile it was
whispered he Was less of a blue ribbon man
than he should be. This, in connection with
one or two other trifling local matters, raised
a breeze of opposition, which blew with such
force as to catch the cars of the Board of
Visitors, the legal voters of the district, and
the committee,and the result was the holding
of a special school meeting at which Mr.
