HISTORICAL FACTS OF THE DAY How It Was Observed in Local Ohurches Spoclal Ser$icos Hild in tho Trinity Ru formod Ohurch. HRISTS resurrection was tlio themo of nil tho Christian churches yesterday mid all tho services of tho Chris tian churches of town wero dovotcd to com memorative festivals of tho occasion Kaster. All tlio churclios wero with beautiful spring specially decorated flowers nml plants for the occasion and tho services worn of a most improssivo character. To Ronio who may have forgotten some of their early teachings, or liavo but a dim recollection of them, a few historical and religious facts may ho interesting. Somo of theso facts aro really not generally known, and while many may know tho approai h ol Easter and know it is nn occasion of special religious festivities, they aro ignorant of the true import of the occasion. As ono clergy man remarked yesterday, there aro many who look upon Easter day as sololy tho opening day for spring stylos. Tho namo Kaster is piobably derived lrom tho Teutonic goddess of spring, Ostcran, or Oeslrc, whose festival occurs abouftho same tlmo ns tho observance of Kaster. It was not until tho fouith century that there was an regularity about fixing tho date of Eastci Sunday. Those of tho early Christians who believed tlio Christian Passover to bo a commemoration of Christ's death adhered to tho custom of holding tho Easter festival on tho day prescribed fur tho Jewish pasch, the fourteenth day of tho first month j that is, tho lunar mouth, of which tlio fourteenth day either falls on or next after tho day ol tho vernal oauinox. Rut most of tho Christian churclios attacl: ing greater importance to tho day of Christ's resurrection, held to Kaster being celebrated on tho Sunday which followed tho fourteenth day of tho moon of March, tho day on whicl Christ sull'ered. This difference was finally settled by the Council of Nice in tho year 32.". Tlio rule then adopted is still in force Kaster is at ways tho Sunday after tho full moon whicl happens on or next after March 21 tin vernal equinox. Ily this arrangement, Kastor may como as early as March 22, or as lato as April 2.-1. However, yesterday was tho recognized Easter Sunday aud tho Christian churches recognized it as such, among thorn the Trinity Reformed church on Wast Lloyd street, tho pulpit of which was decorated w.th many beautiful plants and flowers, among them somo handsonio lilies. Tho at tendanco was largo, Itov. O'lioyle, tht pastor, prcaeliod a brief but exceedingly in tcresting sermon on tho commemoration ol tho resurrection of Christ, taking his text from Matt XVIII; 0. "Ho is not hero : foi Ho Is risen, as Ho said," After tho sermon Iiev. O'Boyle administered tho sacrament ol Holy Communion to tho congregation, and tho catechumens and new members, number ing over thirty. Tho number of communi cants during tho morning and evening ser vices was tho largest in tho history of tin church aud tho Kaster ofl'ering of tho con gregation was alsu very largo. It will be devoted to homo missions. Another inter esting noto is that tho catechetical class pro seuted Rev. O'Boylo last evening with a purse of $50. St. John's German Lutheran church, on West Cherry street, was also tho Bccno of a very interesting and improssivo Easter ceremonies yesterday morning and last eveuiug. Tlio altar aud pulpit wero loaded down with beautiful floral olTorings, which throw out a delicious fragrance. Tho morn ing services wero especially improssivo. IEev. John Gruhler preached an excelleut sermon on a text from Mark XVI., 1-8. Tho do livery was in German. 'Die choir, under the conductorship of I'rof. Zeitz, with Miss Carrie Beirniau as organist, rendered some soul inspiring music. The rendition ol Prof. Wonberger's "Jauchzet Gott in alien Landen" was certaiuly grand ; and while tho collection was being taken up tho now and special Easter hymn "Freudo unit Wonne" was most effectively rendered. Communion was administered to about 150 peop'o. In tho Methodist Episcopal church there wero also special Easter services and tho altar was filled with natural plants -and flowers. Kev. William Powick, the pastor, preached in the morning and evening. His first toxt was on the resurrection, Tho cho r of this church also gave somo renditions of Kaster hymns. Tho Kaster services in All SaiuU1 Protes tant Episcopal church, on East Oak strcot, wero conducted by Mr. Charles Hasklus, There woro full choral services aud tho flowers wero beautiful. The Kaster offeriug from mite chests by tho Sunday school amounted to 30.53. The Koitciusko uud Warsaw Guards formed the Easter guard at tho Polish Roman Catholic, church on North Jardin street, Sat unlay night, and remained there until yo terrtay morning.

The east sido was started on this morning. The contract is to bo completed by tho middlo of May. The paving blocks have- not arrived, but will be hero when tho street is ready. Tlio contractors do not wish to bring thom until they can bo used. This will savo tlio time and expenso of handling them to put them in piles ou tho street while awaiting use, and the pavers will not arrivi until tho street is ready for the blocks.

Ho was first called upon by a Hungarian woman to nrroet her husband for assault and battery and tho accused wit put under ball. The samo night tho constable was called upon by tho husband, who hfttl two swollen and black and blue oyes. Tlio limn stated that his wife had beaten him anil disappeared with two hundred dollars of ills money. Tho woman was found and put under ball, but tho constable couldn't get any trace of tho money. A. H. Tiley has tendered his resignation aa illlor of tho Ashland Teltgram to becotuo Chief of Police under tho Schuylkill Trao tion Company. Tiioy should mako a good Uicer, as ho lias been a "dandy" in capturing tho llectiug locals. The eight days celebration of tho feast of Pesach, or the Passover, by tlio orthodox Jewish peoplo throughout tho world com menced at sunset on Friday evening last. Tho Jows who havo arceptcd the reform Itual, among them a largo number of the Jows in America, continue tlio colobmtioa only seven days, tho first and last days of that period being alono regarded as of special significance, and celebrated as holy days. Tho festival was instituted to commemorate tlio delivcaruce of tho children of Israel, under tho leadership of Moses, from their long years of slavery iu Egypt, and on the first night of tho festival a special and peculiar scrvlro, known ai tho Seder, is cele brated in Jewish households, during which tho history of tlio oxodus of tho Israelites from the laud of Egypt and their passage through tho Red Sea is recited by tho head of tho family. Bread and all leavened food are banished from tho households of tho pious Jews, and their place is taken by tho Matzos, or unleavened cakos, which aro eaton in commemoration of tho unleavened bread carried by tho ancient Jows in their hnrtictl doparturo. Hero is another morsel for reflection fa connection with tho home industry idea. Tho Folmer shoo factory at Orwisburg lias been enlarged and now lias a producing capacity of ten cases of shoos per day, yet Orwigsburg is rated as "only a farmer's town." A Washington dispatch under dato of April 1st announces : "Tho Columbian stamped envelopes wero yesterday placed oil sale for tho first time. Tho principal featuie of the design of tho stamp impression Is a, spread eaglo, the denomiuations correspond ing in color to thoBe of tho adhesivo stamps." The dispatch Is a fooler. T. J. Mullahy rc ccived 500 Columbian stamped envelopes from the Shenaudoah post office ten days ago, although the lot was tho first receive' I and is the only ono in town. The envelopt - wero sold on-an order placed several wuk ago. The Mahanoy City TriAutie says It may nor be particularly gratifying to the people !' Shenandoah to know that with the opening of the Traction Company's line through to Locust Dale, tho main line will run from M ahanoy City to that point, with Girardville as tho junction, and that Mahanoy City merchants will be greatly benefitted because the distance from that point ta Locust Dale is only 14 or 15 miles in a direct lino. We cannot say that this news is such as to cause us anxiety. It cannot hurt Shenandoah. Tho new lino cannot tako from our division tho large patronage it now has. Nor will tho Slahauoy City and Locust Dalo lino hurt us after tho Shenandoah and St. Nicholas branch is oponcd. We are not in a position to. kick and have no desire to do so, but wo do expect to seo somo high kicking from our neighbor before the latter brauch is finished. Somo peoplo seem to have been born in a hurry and have but a very slight idea of the great machinery that is handled in tho management of this government. A man stood on ono of the street corners Saturday night aud thought Cleveland was wasting too much time witli foreigu officos. "He ought attend to America first," said the lounger, "and after ho gets all tho post offices fillod he will havo enough time te make tho appoint menta in England and the other placei," This man is evidently sull'ering from a severe attack of "turn tha rascals out."
