No special importance was attached to the fact at the time, anil when Monday morning came and the day passed hy without bringing back either of the absent officials, there was still co thought iu the minds of any of the other employes of the bank of any suspicion with regard to theab eaceofthe president and cashier.

The cause to which this fact has been assigned is the action of those forces hich pro duce the tides of the ocean; their similar influence upon the solid land strata leads to their disturbance in the shape of earthquakes.

Some say that the fruit crop is badly injured and others that it is not. We mean hereabouts; we fear that the peaches in the interior are all "gone up." A letter from Chat ham, a great fruit county, received a few days since, says that the peach trees there were in blo6m when the last big cold wave came and - that they look now as though a fire had s ept through them.

We are indebted to Mr. Chaffee, Signal Officer at this port, for a chart showing the character of the weath er conditions here for April. ! It is a presumptive chart, of course, but it has been carefully compiled from the records of the month ever since the year 1871. A comparison shows that nearly the same weather oc curs on or about the same day each year. The highest temperature ever recorded here in April was 90 de grees in 1880, and the lowest for the month was 28 degrees, in 1875. jThere was one clear day; in every! three and one cloudy day in twp. Rain occurs one day in three, and the daily average has. been .11 of an inch. The average wind blows at the rate of nine miles an hour and the prevailing direction is from the Southwest. Easter Eggs. j; . . The Easter rabbit will soon be abroad in the land. Suggestion re garding the various methods of col oring Easter eggs will be seasonable and for those interested we would say: " ' : ' To dye eggs black put logwood chips' into the water in which they are to be boiled. These chips may be bought" at a druggist's for a trifle. It is easy to tell when the water is black enough by taking up a little in a spoon. Eggs can be dyed with these chips from a lovely port wine color to jet black. To obtain brown eggs put strong coffee grounds or settlings into the water while cold and boil the eggs among them. Cochineal, a perfectly harmless dye, will make the eggs of any shade from a deep crimson, to a lovely rose pink4 according to the quantity used. A pretty effect is sometimes given to theeggs by -daubing them here and there with grease before putting them in I boiling water. yherever the grease is the dye will not take, therefore ? the eggs come out spotted. Sometimes the name of the person who is to receive the egg is writtep on with the grease in the same manner. fV; 1 ; In d veinir ess ereat care should be taken to use only one spoon and an ok! one.
