The people of the East, who have rains quite frequently, can imagine with what joy our people received this. The rain commenced about nine at night, raining very hard until daylight, and continued sprinkling until eight.

We understand some damage was done to articles inside of some of the houses in town, on account of proper precaution not being taken to properly roof the houses. A Cricket scribe had quite an experience, caused by just such carlessness. He had just dropped off to sleep when patter, patter, the rain came through the roof on to bed and floor. He awoke with a start, only to find a pool of water on every side, and as you may well imagine he had to squirm a great deal to find a dry spot. As to the good this rain will do it cannot be estimated.

A great many farmers and others informed us it would be worth thousands of dollars to them.

Easter Sunday passed off very quietly in Partridge. Sabbath School -was held at the Congregational Church in the morning, but on account of the non-arrival of a pastor no services were held at night. Easter Sunday is meant to be a festival day in the Christian world in the celebration of the resurrection of the Savior of mankind. The custom of using stained ecrixs on this day had its orisrin among the Persians, who. celebrated their Solar new year about this same season by mutally presenting each other with colored eggs.

It was also a popular custom among the Jews who long before the Christian era used eggs in celebrating the feast of Passover. It was one of those prevailing customs innocent in itself which it was thought best by the primative followers of Christ to give a Christian significance inasmuch as it was not advisable to deprive their new adherents of all their cherish of town.
