At the inquest on the b'idy it an in- fant fouad dead in Owen Si.und-last week a verdict of murder was found against some person or persons unknown. It will be the duly of Owen Sound's clever polioeniea to make the party or parties known. The service in the Methodist church on Sunday evening was largely of a musical nature, although * short but eloquent sermon was delivered by the pastor from the text : "Whom God hath raised up, h«ving loosed the pains of death ; because It was not possible that he should behold- en of it." Acts 2-24. The singing was especially choice, the choir being very materially assisted by Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fawcettdf Norway. Mrs.T. J. Sheppard and Mrs. Thom presided at the orwan. At the morning service Mr. M. K. Rich- ardson occupied the pulpit. Mitchell's Bank Burglarized Mitchell's private bank in this place was burglarized some time on Monday night. The mechanics appear to have been up to their businoss. The front door was pried open, the safs combina- tion knocked off with a sledge hammer and cold chisel and the lock smashed wiih a steel punch. The punches were secured in McTavish's blacksmith shop and the aledge used was a C.P.R- tool. The bursilars secured a big haul. There is no clue. Easter at Ceylon The Easter service of the Church nf England congregation was held in the evening, when the hall was crowded and ni.iny went away unable to hnd .seati. The Canticles were chiuted, for the first tune, at this service, a\m the Kyries in the Communion sarvico. The hymns were all suitable to the special day and included " Jesus Christ is risen to-day," "The slrife is o'er, the battle done." The sorini'n was preached from St. John 20-9 by the Rev. G. M. Franklin, incumbent of the mission, and was a careful state- ment of tho purpose of the resurrection of Christ. Tho holy comnuaion was celebrated and a numbor received. The service was unusually interesting on ac- ouiit of it.i hiving boon the fir-st musical servicd taken by the recently organized c* oir, who, with the org:inist, Miss Irene Legato, acquitted themselves with credit. » > < o* I * Good Friday Co.^oart The swrad o.)ncecl on Friday evening last in tho Jieth.jdis!; church w.hs prob- ably equal to any program ever rondereJ in tho church. Those who is.si^tod in the various parts were tho choir, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fiwcett and Miss Annie Richardson, with Miw Buchaii of Owen Sound as orginist. Some of the choice things rendered (all were excellent, how- ever) were a couple of lino anthems by tho choir ; a solo by Mrs. Fawcett, "The way of the cross ; " a solo by Miss .Minnie Joy, " Oh, dry those tears ; " and a duet by Miss .Allie Joy and Mrs. Fawcetk, " M/ faith looks up to thee." Miss Richardson's readings were highly appre- ciated by the audience. Prob.-\bly her best number was Quean Catharine's de- fence from the court scene in Henry VIII., which was splendidly rendered. She was also generous with encores and pleased her audience very much. The playing nf Miss Buchan was quite \ reve- lation here. She is ceri'aiuiy an expert on the pips organ, and her rendering of the overture to Wm. Tell by Russini- Bucke, and the oflfertoira in minor by Jules Gris.'tun were spoken of by those competeKt to judge as being magnificently done. It was a rare tre^t for Flesherton people to hear so accomplished an artist as Miss Buihan. The ooneert wa« alio a fair tinancial aucoeas, considering all things, • ttmt • â€" The Death Roll. Mr«.
