If people would wash out thoir mouths twice or tbreo tlmcs a day wlth an antiseptic solution, says a physician, thoro would not be ncar so much sick ness. In tho last ten yoars I havo novor had a cold, soro tliroat or f over, and I ascribo this immunity sololy to tho fact thatlfollow this plan rigidly. There aro any numbor of proprlotary antisop tics that aro cxcollont for this purposo, but many moro simplo agents that aro as good or bettcr. Ono of tho best of tho lattcr is carbolio acid. A very wcak solution of this gargled and held in tho mouth two or threo timcs a day will work wondors. Immcdiately aftorusing ono will find that tho mouth focls cloan. or. I beliovo that a great majority of tho common throat and lung troublcs como from tho lodgemont of diseaso mi crobos within mucous mombranes of tho mouth. Tho froo uso of antiscptics will kill theso gorms. Miss Morqan invites our readors and tho public to hor oponing of fashionablo millinery, on Saturday, April 7th.

This will not suit tho farming community, who, wo think, should havo protection from the comeetition of "bogus butter," whether it is 'deleterious to public health," or not.

Tue Brattleboro Reformer of last Sat urday, has this itom: "Thero was an anti Childs movoment in tho postoffico about as destructive as that of four years ago to local Rcpublicanism, and smallor than that in tho local Domocraoy this spring.

For sevorai years ho was presidont of tho board, and at all times, during his connection with it, ho was one of the most activo, watchful and conservativo members, and he was in every way a notably ofHcient officer.

His close attention to tho internal work of the school mado him a strong factor in its success.

Tho subject of tho morning scrmon was: '"Tho Easter mcs- sago asapplied to thespiritual lifo," and tno addrcss of tho evoniug: "Tlio jour noy of tho two disciples to Emmous." Mr. Richardson made a good imprcssion on his hoarors, and hi manner of read ing tho sorvico is both sinccre and devo- tional. wo prediot that Ins rcctorato will fulfill tho promisb of its ausniclous bcgianing.

At the Baptist church thoro woro olo gant trimmings of cut flo'wors and pot ted plante. Thoro were baptisms at both services, the pastor preached sorraons in harraony with tho joyous festival, and largo congregations wero present. Tho Easter musical programmo, under tho direction of Prof. II. W. Downs, was so admirably rendored that it has received goneral oommrnaation. By rcquest tho samo programmo will bo rcpeated, morn ing and ovening, of Sunday April lst. The ordinanco of baptism will bo ad mlnistercd in tho ovening. At St. Peter's church, as stated in an other item, largo congregations greoted the now rector, and tbo fino music so lected by Prof. R. O. Goldsmith, was admirably rendored. Tho churcli was oponed for tho first timo sinco tho re pairs and decorations woro finished, and tho imprpved surroundings wero very plcasant. Tho altar, pulpit and lcctorn wero adorned wlth ilowers, prlncipally calla lilics, but theso wero not in the prof usiou of former years. Tho electric lights add much to the beauty of the scone. Whilo tho compliments to the choir wero goneral, yot tho solo singlng of Miss May Loomis, ospecially at Even song, is very hlgh'y spokcn of. At the church of St. Francis do Sales, the Easter music surpassed anything that that congiogation had ever enjoyed. Musical Dircctor, Chas. H. Bennett,'hadi worked hara to mako it a notablo event. and the choir had checrfully seconded and supported his efforts. The long programmo, comprising Palmcr's Mass m b flat, was finely sang. The scrmons wero upon tho subjecc of the day, and Father Barron took tho occasion to mako sme practical applications to his peoplo of tho lessons of the Queon Festival. At tho close of tho sor.vices Mr. Bennett f ound a basket of choice fiowers on his tablo ncar tho organ, and upon examina tion, nestlcd among the stcras wero four $5. gold pieces, prosontcd as an Easter glf t from tho choir. It was wholly a sur priso and a handsome recognition of his efforts in thoir bohalf. At tho Second Congregational church there wero largo cougregatiors presont. and, liko other sanctuarles, tho fiorall decorations wero numerousandpleasing. The pastor prcachod a practical sermon, and the musical programme, published last week, was excoptionally woll ren dored. The ovening Eastor Carol ser vico was very enjoyable, the largo Sun day school entering into tho spirit of tho cnncort a typo of tho worship of the "upper sanctuary." Tho servicos at tho tfethodist Episco pal church, M. B. Morgan, choristor. were of a much higher order than has beon usual of lato yoars. This was indi cated by the published ortlerof exercises ospecially tho music of tho morning ser vico. As a soloist Miss Audria Bowen is a vory promising vocalist, and in the choruses tho voices wero well balanced. The Easter concert in tho ovening was. greatly enjoyed, tho largo Sunday schooll taking hold of the oxcrciso wlth a will that insured success. Tho pastor's morning sermon had for its subject "The history and observance of Easter." A part of the music will bo rcpeated noxt Sunday, giving our poople another op portunity to enjoy tho solos of Misses Bawen, Morgan and Mr. Valentino, who woro so highly complimented, supported' by tho now choir. Tho evening Eastcr servico was conductcd by Supt. F. A. Greenslet, under the direction of Miss Araolia Burt. Eastcr 1894 is a thing of tho past, but its influences will linger in the minds and religious lifo of tho people. Tho' great lesson of Easter is that of hope. That is what the first Easter day mcant. Whon Simon Petor said to cortain of his fellow disciples, "I eo a fishing," and tho others said, "We also go with thee,"" tho simple incidont mcant moro thanap pears on tho surface. It mcant tho ox tinguishment of tho hopcs which had b?on ontertained regarding tho Master,. and a return to the old vocalion which they had followed before thoy were ad mitted to His high companionship. They had hoped that it was He who should havo redemmed Israol, as ono of thom later said; but they hnd wltncssed tho (omplote triumph of His enemies over Him. Ho had suffered, as any man might suffer: no had been nut to doath. asany man might have been; what was thero moro? Return to tho old manner of life seemed to bo all that was loft to them. What was it that changed all this? What brought together tho. scat tered and disheartencd disciples, held them in a littlo company until they had been ondued with spccial power, and; then sent them out into a cruel and hos tilo world? It w.n tho proof of Christ's resurrcction which so transformed them, and tho Christ thoy went foftli to preach was not ii dead Christ, but a Christ for ovor alive and present with thom. Thisr thon. is what Eiister chieilv means. It tcachcs that dcath is not tho end of life,. but an episodo in it, or at tho most a brief intorruption of it. OPERA HOUSE ANNOliNCEMENTS.
