DARIEN.
Mrs. Delia A. Becrs,nfter along and painful
sickness, died 0 n Saturday evening. She was
the daughter of Hon. Charles Hoyt-,Ox Ridge.
Since the death of her husband,-she has re-
sided at her father’s. She was a lady of cul—
ture and of a high order of noble and true
womanly qualities. She will be mourned
and missed by all who had the pleasure of
her acquaintance. Her parents,children and
sister, have the tender sympathy of all neigh-
bors and of the whole community.
The Congregational church, ordered their
services last Sunday in keeping with the day.
Mr. Bradford preached in the morning 0“ the
resurrection of Christ. In the evening there
was an Easter Sunday-school exerCise of
great interest, directed by deacon Schofield,
the faithful superintendent. The attendance
was good,thongh the weather was threatening.
The school, was never more prosperous. The
church was well supplied with elegant flOW~
cm, which gave the pulpit and table a very
pleasant appearance. All seemed pleased and
impressed with the services of the day.
Miss Cora Chasmer, returned home on Fri-
day from Mount holyoke Seminary for a
brief vacation. She is highly delighted with
the school, we predict for her a high grade
of scholarship. Her friends in Darien most
cordially welcome her return.
Mr. A. C. Ferris died on Wednesday morn-
ing after a sickness of about two weeks. At
first he was attacked with. pneumonia and
afterwards had typhoid fever. A few years
since he lost one hand by an explosion which
shocked and enfccblcd his whole system. He
was a native of Ireland but came to this
country about fourteen years ago and settled
in the west part of the town. After his mis-
fortune be came to Darien and opened a
. grocery store near the depot. All looked
' upon him as an honest man and a worthy
citizen. He was about thirty-nine years of
age at the time of his death. He leaves a
wife and three children to mourn his loss.
His funeral was attended from the Congre-
gational church on Sunday, at 2 p. m., of
which he was a respected member. A very
large audience was present, more than filling
the entire lower part of the house, Mr.
Bradford gave a Very eloquent, interesting
and'comforting sermon, well suited to the
occasion. The bereaved family have the ten-
der sympathy of the whole community.

gational church last evening on an exchange
with Mr. Bradford. . His sermon was listen-
. ed to attentively and gave full satisfaction.
‘It seems unfortunate that he remains so short
a time at Rowayton.
It is rumored that Mr. Bradford’s parish—-
ioners intend to present him with a pony and
phaeton. It is just the thing they ought to
do and will be just like them to do it. They
are a large hearted people, and no man is
more worthy the confidence of a people than
the present pastor of the Congregational
church of Darien.
All are regretting that the Rev. Mr. Du-
senbury, of the Methodist church, is so soon
to leave. He will carry with him the confi—
dence, love and best wishes of all good peo-
ple. No better man or more able preacher
has ever been stationed in that church.

To the worldly minded, from a weather
stand point Easter Sundaylwas inclement and
uninviting, but to earnest christian believers
it was a glorious day. To them the dark
threatening clouds of early morning had a
silver lining,- and the later snow flakes were
emblematic of the purity of their thoughts.

chapter of St.Mark : “And they said among
fzom the door of tlfo scpulchrc P (and when
they looked. they saw that the stone was
rolled away,) for it was very great.” He
said men not from reasons, but the Opposite
sex invariably act from feeling. The latter
was the case with the two Marys who were
first to visit the tomb of the Saviour. He
paid a glowing tribute to the character of
women, and drew from the subject many
useful lessons. The floral decorations were
beautiful. Suspended over the altar was a
crown, formed Of blossoms. The font was
heaped with flowers of all hues, and sur-
mounted by a real palm tree, loaned for
the occasion by Mrs. W. C. Staples. 0p-

MEMORIAL ontmcn.
This splendid ecclesiastical structure need-
ed no natural or artificial objects to beautify
its interior. The presence, , therefore, of
tastefully arranged flowers served the pur-
pose for which kind hands had placed them
there—to remind worshippers of the great
Qvent which the services of the day were to

R. C. M. Page, a cress of carnations made

A caucus of republicans to nominate dele-

Greenwich, 41; New York, $1.05; Green’s
Farms, 7, Southport, 12 ;' Fairfield 16;
Bridgeport, 29;' New Haven 72; Hartfbrd,
$1.62. This reduction from old rates is good
but somehow', cspcciallyin pleasant weather
during the coming summer, many a- man
and Woman will compare the $1.05 fare to
New York with the 35 cent fare on the
steamer Adelphi, and without much study
or deliberation embrace the latter. They
will not only embrace, but they will hold
fast the opportunity which enables them to
go to the metropolis three times by steamer
for the same money which it costs to go once
by rail. '
Mr. Charles Harris has accepted the po:

The physician hears such a benediction
sometimes, and it is very sweet even to a pro.

death. In her spasms and. sinking spells her
friends often thought she was already dead.
