A Beautiful Childrens' Day Decorations in Churches at Pittsford

Hedges of ferns were features of the decorations on Children's Day in the Presbyterian Church at Pittsford. While an elegant bank of cut flowers ornamented the base of the arch above the platform. A towering gateway of evergreens and a little evergreen gate on hinges were at the end of each aisle. Surmounting the respective gateways were the words, in picture writing, "No Cross, No Crown."

The artistic decorations of the church were designed by Miss SEELEY, who has just returned from Florida, and were arranged to represent a semi-tropical scene. They were much admired. At the Methodist Church the platform was ornamented with evergreen and flowers arched in golden letters with, the words,"All for Christ," while the floral steps leading up the throne were ornamented with appropriate floral words.

A beautiful stand and vase was presented the teacher, Miss Flora GANSAUL(?), of Brockport, by Miss Ida PENNELLS(?) in behalf of the scholars.

--From examinations and information the damage to the apple crop in southern Monroe is more serious than was supposed. Though this is the bearing year not more than half a crop can be looked for. Corn looks badly and is unpromising on account of the wet season, but good crops of grass, oats, wheat and plenty of superior butter may be expected. The latter is better this spring than in some years before. So much wet rendering low lands unfit for other crops, buckwheat will be sewed as a supplement.

WAYNE

The Most Furious Rain Storm Lyons Ever Experienced

Lyons has been visited by frequent showers almost every day since the 1st inst., but the one that came at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon was the heaviest ever experienced in that locality. According to Dr. VEEDER'S rain gauge, an instrument furnished him by the government, one inch of water fell in ten minutes. The wind blew forty-five miles an hour, lightning flashed at minute intervals, followed by deafening thunder and the rain fell with astonishing force. The storm lasted but a few minutes, yet considerable damage was done. Lightning struck the residence of Mrs. JUNE, on Phelps street, making a hole through the roof and passing out through the clapboards. Telephones and wires were considerably damaged. The rainfall was so great that the water soaked earth could not absorb it and all the waterways were insufficient to carry it off. HOTCHKISS pond, a small sheet of water on the hill west of that village, suddenly grew to twice its normal size, and then overflowed, flooding gardens, cellars, lawns and streets. In the lower part of the village the streets resembled the Venetian canals. A stream which has its source on the Rice hill and is conducted through a part of the village by means of a drain, became too large for its usual channel and came tearing down the hill upon the surface, flooding the garden and lawn surrounding G. H. CRAMER's handsome residence and emptied itself into Broad street, almost completely submerging it. Many gardens crops were destroyed and the contents of cellars badly damaged.

--The collection at the Presbyterian church in Lyons Sunday, for the Johnstown relief fund amounted to $95.

--The Onondaga Conference camp meeting begins to-day in Spoor's grove at Savannah, and will continue over Sunday.

--The hail storm of Sunday afternoon injured the apple crop to some extent in several orchards in the vicinity of Clyde.

--The First Lutheran Sunday-school of Lyons will go to Ontario Beach for their annual excursion and picnic, next Thursday.

--Clyde Lodge, I. O. O. F., visited Maple Grove Cemetery in a body Sunday afternoon and placed a floral tribute upon the grave of every Odd Fellow buried there.

--Mrs. M. E. VAN VRANKEN and grandson, Fred MERRIMAN, of Hartford, Van Buren county, Mich., are visiting Henry E. MERRIMAN and other friends in South Butler.

--The funeral service of Mrs. Marilla CADY, aged 79 years, wife of the late Philo CADY, of South Butler, were held Sunday afternoon at the family residence, and were largely attended.

--Children's Day was observed by nearly all the churches in Clyde, the pastors preaching an appropriate sermon in the morning and Sunday-school concerts being held in the evening.

--Mrs. John R. SAYLES and Mrs. Charles SMITH will represent the Clyde Presbyterian Sunday-school at the Albany convention of the state association which convenes to-day for a three days' session.

--Children's Day was observed at the Baptist Church in South Butler on Sunday evening. The church was tastefully decorated with evergreens, cut flowers and potted plants. The exercises were of a very interesting character.

--Miss Charlotte M. ALLEN will give an entertainment under the auspices of the Ladies Union of the Clyde Methodist Church to-morrow evening at the town hall, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Johnstown sufferers.

--A heavy storm swept over Eastern Wayne Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The sky was darkened so that lamps were lighted. In several places trees were torn up and sheds blown down. The storm was of only about twenty minutes duration.

--Children's Day services were held in three of the Marion churches Sunday, which were well filled. The floral decorations were arranged in excellent taste. A collection of $20 was given at the Baptist Church for the Johnstown sufferers. Collections for that fund will be taken at all the churches next Sunday.

--The ladies of the Baptist Church in Lyons have provided an entertaining programme for this evening to be rendered by home talent. The more prominent features will be a vocal solo by Mrs. H. OTTO, a violin solo by Miss Mary ALDEN, vocal solo by Mrs. L. HOLMES, and a vocal duet by Mrs. W. B. RICHARDS and Miss BROWN.

--The Geneva Sunday-school convention was convened at the Methodist Church in Lyons, last evening. The exercises opened with devotional exercises, conducted by the Rev. C. W. LANE. A lecture on "The Tabernacle," by Rev. T. COOPER, was very instructive and entertaining. To-day's programme will be very interesting.

The Organization is Prospering -- Over $100,000 Worth of Stock Taken

It is known as "Bob HUNTING'S Ten-cent Railroad Show," which title is too modest to be sufficiently descriptive, and it has pitched its tents at the corner of East Main street and University avenue were it will give afternoon and evening performances throughout the week.

Brief Sketch of the Late Hon. HORATIO N. Wood, of Hamlin

   Ex-Supervisor Horatio N. WOOD who died suddenly at his home in Hamlin Sunday morning, aged 85 years, was born in Manlius, Onondaga county, when he spent his boyhood. When 14 years old he came with his parents to Clarkson, then known as Murray. He for nearly half a century lived in that town. For the past twenty-two years he had resided in Hamlin with his son, Enos B. WOOD. The community was shocked to hear of his death, which was caused by disease of the heart and arteries. He awoke Sunday morning about 6:30 o'clock and was found dead by his son, F. c. WOOD, in a sitting position, who supposed that he had fallen asleep. The funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church yesterday. The pastor, Rev. Dr. BULL, officiating. A large concourse of relatives and friends attended. As a citizen Mr. WOOD was just and kind and public spirited; as a father ardent and constant in his affections and ever tenderly devoted; as a friend there was no one more loyal, liberal and unselfish. Quick to resent an injury, he was placable and ready to forgive. If he ever unknowingly wronged another, his magnanimity in repressing it was prompt and noble. His integrity and honor were never questioned. _ncorruptible and sincere, he was ever ready alike to defend a friend and the friendless. Once his confidence was won, nothing but dishonor could sever the tie that bound him to his fellow man. The lesson of his well spent life will ever be before those who knew him. He was a life-long Republican and had occupied positions of trust, the gifts of his party.

It will be a week or more, even with the best of weather, before the farmers can get into fields to attend to the growing plants which need almost constant care. That on the uplands is not damaged beyond repair though the long wet season has kept it back.

He reports that of all the fields he saw not more than one-fourth can be called first-class. Many farmers told him that unless the water receded in a day or two the crop would be given up for lost.
