IHI Faster—a day of rejoicing afl< r the !
solemn season of Lent. Both of these days '
uro observed by somecburi lies with special
religious services, com memo rut! ve of tbo
death and resurrection of our Saviour. The !
joy which Faster brings is symbolized by
a profuse Aral decoration, and the Fjlscn.
pal and Finnan Catholic churches of this
place will doubtless be ornamented lu the
I usual extent on such occasion. To the
world nt large Faster is a day of more ol
less feasting, and eggs constitute the m -t
importtt.it article of consumption. Young

mental manner. There are many ways of
! doing this and the necessary coloring ma- |
terials can be found at any drug st re.
! But the chief obstacle just now to the use :
of eggs i in their price. They cost from
fifteen to twenty cents |xr do/.' n, and nt
that price can be indulged in only by the

PROMPT FAYMXS*.—Samuel Yearick,
who diesl a few day* ago at his home near j

: hi# life of I,'a*i in the Brooklyn Life In
mranre Company. 11c had paid in pre
mium* upon the policy about s3.'io, at the
i timo of hi# death. The proofs of death
were forwarded to the Company on the
*ith of April, and on the Mb, or ia three
days, the check of the company fur sl,uoo
I was returned in payment of the claim
This wo rail prompt payment sad is a
' prartienlfart that speaks louder than vol
ume* of praise. People should and will
patronize those companies which exhibit
liberality, fair-dealing and promptness in
their business transactions, and in these
respects, a* well as in sound, careful, con
servative management, no company in tho
country stands higher than the Brooklyn
Life, of New York.
"TUBRH'S MILLIOIM IN IT. '—At least,
that's what some of the owner* of land in
tho vicinity of Lcmont now imagine.
There is a growing belief that unlimited
quantities of gold exist in that vicinity. A
veteran mineralogist from this place, who
never make* a mistake, ha* recently been
instituting investigation*. It is certain
that he ha* found gold in portion* of the
soil and rock brought home with him.
In the meantime, those person* who own
land en which tho goose is believed tu have
iald the golden egg are inclined to ak
fancy prices for it.

THE OvaaTcai "StMiaAMiaa."
Among the choice selections of musie with
which our Orchestra will favor us at their t
concert on the 2<Uh insl., will be the Iwau
liful overture to Itossini's Sr timsUr j
which was given in the repertoire of the |
Boston td un bltc Club when here a few j
year* ago. We also noticed it as the open
ing selection by tho "Germania" at the .
Academy of Music last winter when the
young Brazilian violinist I). Fugramonl
mad" his debut in Philadelphia. The :
opera Stmiromuit. was brought out first at |
Venice in 1828 and was the most elaborate
work ot Rossini's up to that time, and it ;
shows considerable pluck in the Orchestra
whose members are all amateurs to under
take so difficult a selection, but their ob
ject is certainly a commendable one, the
desire to raise thn standard of music among
our people. F.very lover of music should
hear thi* beautiful overture. The selec
tion* for ibis concert are so varied, con
taining as tbey do, cornet, flute and vocal
so,os with orchestral accompaniment, that
all wiil go away dalighted. Don't forget
the dale, Tuesday, April 26.
