From tlto Loudon Sjieotator.
There never was a story so chametertstie
of France ns that herbaled in the trial of M.
Janvier dc la Motte, whilom Prefect of the
Knre. It might have been told by Sully- or,

historians would have quoted it as the story
which better than any other illustrated the
home life of the times of Henri Quatre or the
Kcgdit Philippe of Orleans. 31. do la Motte,

TEMPERANCE.
Easter Sunday lues always been regarded
as the very queen, or highest, of all the Chris-1
tian festivals. The mournful season of Lent
is past, the Saviour lias been crucified and
buried, and " now is Christ risen indeed,"
" the first fruits of t hem tliat slept." The name J
Easter is derived from Eostre, a goddess to
whom the Saxons and other nortlieru nations
sicrifleed fit about this season. The Ptuischu
or Jewish Passover, celebrated at this time,
lent its name to the Christian Paschal season,
but the precise time for keeping Easter has
been a cause of contention between eastern
and western Christians. The customs pecu
liar to the season' lire dying out in England,
but in this country the Easter or Paschal
eggs, with colored shells, and toys in the
siiai>e ot gigantic eggs, are given amongst all
classes.
Tlit; beautiful day had the effect of bring
ing out an unusually large number of pel-sons,
and the churches were tilled to their utmost
capacity. The day was especially celebrated
in the Catholic and Episcopal churches.
The >trrices at
Tilt monumental
were unusallv interesting, and the music
was, perhaps (including both morning
and alternoon), better than any church
music We hate ever had in Kichmottfk
That which first met the eye on petering tlV^
church was the profusion of flowers thntV
hung in .graceful masses over the font, the
reading desk as well a<3 the pulpit. The font
was most striking in its appearance. Frfim
the kneeling step to the top the whole sur
face was decorated with the rarest and most
beautiful early spring- tlowers, such as catne
lias; MMe? of great variety and beauty, violets,
heliotrope, japduUas, roses, and; indeed, a
host of other fioWel'S. Out of the
basin of the font stood a superb
cross formed of tlowers, in the centre
of which appeared !? white emnelia.
The chancel was covered with pUTfi White
linen, on the top edge of which magnolia
leaves were neatly tacked together at their
tips; .The..cbliWunion table had been ar
ranged with tlit: greatest mid taste; and
the cloths which covered it were also deco* [
rated with flowers. The top of the reading

esk unci the pulpit were of white silk.and
rettily timimril With buff or gilt fringe.
During the service the wind sprang up,
id the fitlui clouds were now and then
iding the siui and darkening the church.
. was a noticeable feature that the illumi

C. The altars were tastefully and beau

delivered the Easter sermon, taking as
subject "The Resurrection.."

unday was an interesting day tor the con

noke county, assisted the pastor, Rev,
nenkcl,and*deliveit?d an interesting ser

TEMl'KRANCK tjERMON. '
"here was a large congregation at Sidney
thodist church on Sunday night: to > bear
sermon on the subject of tcmjietanoe
ich the pastor, Rev. George Q. Vander-1
e, had l>cen requested by Marion Division,
is of Temperance, to preach. The text
i from 1 Cor., vl: 12: a All things are law
unto nio, but all things are not expedient."
introduced the subject by sayiug that the
nid mind-Is enmity against God. Most of
laws of our land are the product of tmre
icrate and often openly wicked legislators,
nt* it Is.that many human law9 are in op
dtion to the Divine law. God is the1 Su*
? ' nucqiccr?m human law can be supe
rior to ther Divine law, dr titeke that right
which he condemns.
One of the prMeiiflesof God's government
is to condemn that which invariably results
in evil. ITence no law has a right to pefrnrt
divorce except on Bible principles?that is,,
for adultery and the punishment of the
offender, or to permit a heatlien temple to he
erected in our land, or to empower any one
to tukethe life of another, except an extreme
case of self-defence. On the same principle
the s:Uc of all intoxicating beverages should
be under the same restrictions as that of any
other poison?viz., t?The person must
know its character from the label. 2-^If
knowiug it will be used to produce death,
tiie person selling is an accomplice. 3?Re
sponsible for its effects. - . , .
Mr. Vanderslice then contended .that the
moderate use is worse socially than drunk
enness. Statistics show that in the United
States alone there are '50,000 lives destroyed,
100,000 persons sent to prison. 300 murders,
400 suicides, and 200,000 orphans made an
nually by tni.4 monster evil. ? The victims of
internperance in one year would make a pro
cession sixty-eight miles long; and all this
misery is under the authority and sanction
of law. It yvas also stated that four hundred
millions of dollars are used annually to pro
duce this misery.
In conclusion the preacher asked, Can
the occasional good done by the use of
spirits compensate for all this evif ? Is it ex
pedient to use and thereby encourage the
manufacture and sale of that which produces
so much evil ?
The sermon was delivered yvitlran earnest
ness that commanded the attention of the
congregation, and it seemed to make a pro
found impression upon all present.
GERMAN BETTLEHEIM LUTHERAN.
At this church on Sunday there was no
thing of unusual interest in the morning:
except the administration of the holy sacra

At the German Lutheran church (Fifth

^OrENiNG of the Sprls'G I'rade.?The
varied and continued bad weather has com
bined with other circumstances to make the
spring trade rather backward this year, but
now merchants are arriving every day and
the streets begin to wear a livelier aspect.
Indeed, we may expect soon to see unusual
crowds of people thronging the hotels, and
great activity in wholesale establishments and
other departments of trade. Our jobbers
have laid in very large and carefully selected
stocks, and in some branches unusual efl'orts
have been made to attract business. We can
safely assure mercliunts from any quarter
that their wants can be supplied quite as well
here as elsewhere, and upon as favorable
terms, while our lines of transportation
a fiord the greatest facilities for prompt
moving of all merchandise to its destination.
The tax dim. was further considered by
the House of Delegates yesterday, but has
not yet been ordered to its engrossment and
third reading. The Senate will adjourn
from day to clay until the bill pusses the
House.
Meteorological.?The following is a state

The Theatre.?Mr. J. B. Booth appeared
i Hamlet last night. He was sustained by
Ira. Booth, Mr. Shewell, and others of a
eiy good dramatic company. Mr. Booth
as hot the great genius of bis ftther, or of
ia brother Edwin, but he has many of the
eculiar characteristics of the foijner, and
displays fine histrionic talents.- In the scenes
with the Queen, with the grave-diggers, and
with Ophelia, he was very happy, and was
liberally rewarded, as at other times, with
applause. Asa whole, the performance was
genteel and pleasing to persons of taste. To
night Mr. Booth will appear as Iago in
Othello, with Mrs. Booth as Desdemona. ,.
St. Patrick's Ball.?'The ball of the
Catholic Beneficial >?ociety at Assembly Hall
last night was one of the most brilliant af
fairs of the kind it has ever been our
pleasure to witness. The large hall was
literally crowded to overflowing with ladies
and gentlemen, there being barely room
enough on the floor for the dancers and the j
hundreds of spectators.. Dancing was com- i
mcnced rather earlier than usual aud kept up j
with vigor until very late. The arrange
ments were so complete that notwithstanding
the throng nobody suffered any inconve
nience, and the very best order was observed
throughout the evening. The various com
mittees discharged their duties most effi
ciently, and were unwavering in their atten
tions to the guests.
At midnight a large number of those pre
sent went to the room below, where was
spread a bountiful and tempting array ,of
edibles and drinkables most tastefully ar
ranged. Some of the meats bore the initials
of the society under whose auspices the ball
was given, (C. B. S.) with the figure of the
cross.^ The supper was gotten up, under the
direction of a competent committee, bv Mr.
P. B. Callahan. I
Our closing statement is the best of all?
viz., that the ball was the means of raising a
very handsome sum of money for the benefit
of that excellent institution the Jit. Patrick's
school.
Rehearsal.?The new organ of the Second
Baptish church having been placed in posi
tion, was tried yesterday by Professor Leo
Wheat and several other accomplished musi
cians, and was pronounced by all a splendid
instrument. Last night there was a rehearsai
of the ladies and gentlemen who will tak<
part in the grand opening concert on Thurs
day evening.
MANCHESTER ITEMS.
,.hnrKoIniOU8 1^'?TIr3?T,ie attendance at our
churches on last buuday morning wan large
notwitstauding the wind and other threat
ening aspects of the weather. There was,
however, nothing worthy of note in the
lnoruiug exercises. At U P. M. at the Bap
tist church the Rev. Mr. Deans preached the
regular monthly sermon before the Sabbath
school from John, 1st chapter and l^th
verse. The scholars turned out in larae
numbers. * ?
h? Methodist church at night the Rev.
Mr. Christian, by request, preached before tbe
temperance societies from Colossians l>d
chapter and 21st verse: "Touch not, taste
not, handle not." Tbe church was crammed
many persons being unable to obtain adroit
tance, Great interest was manifested. The
Sons, Friends, and Cadets of Temperance in
our midst are doing noble work in a worthv
cause, and we rejoice to speak of their pros
perous condition.
Sunday-School' Convention.?The Middle
Distinct Baptist Deacons3 Meeting and Sun
day-School Convention organized at Skin
quarter church on Saturday mornin0, by the
election of I). M. Goode, of .Mount Herman
church, as moderator, and 31. W. Hancock
ol Jerusalem church, as secretary. A large'
number of delegates were present", represent
ing nearly every church in the district. The
Convention in the morning was occupied in
discus-nig an essay on "The Scriptural Plan
ot Giving," by Itev. George J. Hobday: and
in tbe afternoon in discussing one on "the ex
igency of uniting the weak churches with
the strong ones," by the Rev. J. F. Deans,
i lie discussions were very interesting, and
copies of the essays were requested for'pub
bcation. Hie exercises were interspersed
v\ ith the usual devotional exercises.
Dead Body Fou.vp.-On Sunday, bv order
of the trustees and at the request "of the
-"is of 31 r. Robert Forsee, Captain Lips
and druggetTa#fiifB)jr.' .???
riving oj'p2site the City JJtS's/ ? r?^v>
decom*owl w&s found embedded iff Uic
roots of a largo ite*: Witb assistance Cap
tain Lipscombc brought it to the ??bore, and
summoned Justice Chiles, who, on a view
of the bqefy,'. deemed an inquest unnecessary,
and the bod* *v*l? fiiriicjT over to the countv
authorities for iutcrmeiii: Tv>r$ ^ tH1j
doubt but what the body found was that of
Roliert Forsee, whose disappeaffitlcd has
been before noted, and who was tost seen in
Manchester ch the night of the Pith ultimo
in a state of great inlox*'<tthrn;. Forsee was
u resident of Richmond, was thirty of
age, and a blacksmith. It is supposed tlrat
he fell from the paper-mill bridge, as, on the
night spoken of, a colored woman saw un
object floating down the canal, observed it
sink, and gave the alarm, but when it was
responded to nothing coukl be seen; and it
was only after healing her statement that
Forsee's friends became alarmed at his non
appearance and requested the dragging of
the canal. *
Parade of the Alerts.?The semi-annual
washing and parade of the Manchester Alerts
took place an yesterday. At 2 o'clock P.
31. the company assembled at the engine
house, and after organizing paraded the prin
cipal streets. There were thirty-three uni
formed men in line, and the exterior condi
tion of the apparatus was all that could be
desired?the beauiiful hand-engine, reel, and
hook-and-ladder truck, presenting an ele
gant appearance. The procession was formed
trader the command of Warden John A. Cers
ley, assisted by Captain A. A. Waugb. The
company halted at the arch bridge in front of
the Graham works, and the trial of the ap
paratus began. Through , both an inch
and seven-eighths nozzle a stream was
thrown over the bell-house of the old
mill, and a stream was thrown, ou a dead
level, of 185 feet. This, it must be remem
bered, was in tbe face of a brisk wind. The
Chief Engineer, the fire committee, and a
large numlier of citizens and tax-payers, rep
resented themselves as highly pleased. The
company presented a splendid appearance,
and reflected credit upon themselves and the
town.
After the exercises at tbe canal tbe company
proceeded to the plug-atHull street and 3Iar
ket place, when a trial took place with still
better results, and at the conclusion of the
washing they adjourned to the engine-house^
where a bountiful supply of good things to
refresh tbe inner man had been furnished, and
several hours were si>ent in the usual festive
manner.
Police Court? Before Justice Chiles.?

combe, charged with the robbery of der
ricks, Ac., tbe property of Captain E. Vick
ers, of the free bridge, was sent on for fur

Galvanized Iron Cornzcjl?It cannot, be ques
tioned tlut the Intensity and extent of fires la. due tc
the amount bf wood exposed In our present but
rather craning system of house-building. Something
is needed In place of wood to last longer and soft
better, and, in addition to tills, wood In many sec-'
tlons will eventually be & scarce article. Iron, as a
substitute, b so superlor,and so much better adapted
to the necessities of the day, that we do not wondei
at the very' general adoption of Uie lrou cornier
work.
In the late Arc In Chicago it was observed that the
wood ornaments attached to many buildings, theti
cornices, window-caps, etc.,'greatly assisted the pro
gress of the conflagration by catching fire quickly
and coinmuulcatiug to the buildings they were
upon. : <f>' > ??? ' sp ' 'i Pi
In galvanized iron it would not take fire, it cau be
rendered far more ornamental than work tu wood
at the same expense, and it is infinitely more dura
ble, and insurance agents often make one-eighth
per cent, reduction where these cornices are in use.
The value of iron cornicesr brackets, cape, and
other trimmings for buildings, must be conceded
not only for their lightness and beauty, but for the
Increased security against fires In large towns and
cities.?Cleveland Daily Herald. .
