AGAIN the record is opened to set down the name of another old citizen whose body has been laid away up in the cemetery. How fast they are going. Rufus St. John, an honorable and well kuown citizen, died at tbe residence of his son-in-law, George Planett, on Tuesday morning. He was in the seventy-fourth yoar of his age, and had been a resident of this city since 1835, engaged in the manufacture of harness and saddles. He wa3 a pioneer in this branch of trade, and leaves a record for honest work and fair dealing. As a token of respect the harness dealers closed tboir places of business on Thursday afternoon during the bours of the funeral services.
THE ordination of Rev. Thomas W. Bacon and his installation as pastor of the First Congregational church, was witnessed, Thursday evening, by an audience filling the large auditorium of that building. The church was profusely decorated with flowers, and the music by the large choir, under the diiection of Prof. Shide, was certainly the best ever rendered in a church in this city. Tbe sermon for tbe occasion—one of much power—was delivered by the new pastor's brother, Rov. Leonard W. Bacon, of Norwich, Conn., after which the father, Dr. Leonard Bacon, made the charge to the pastor. Another brother, Edward W. Bacon, of New London, Conn., extended the right hand of fellowship, and Rev. O. C. McCulloch, in a few happy remarks, addressed the people. It was a grand and impressive scene—that lion-headed old patriarch consecrating his young son to the ministry, while on either side stood two other sons whose lives had been dedicated to tbe same noble work—three sons full of youthful vigor, with more than the average measure of talent, zealons and eager to follow in the steps of a worthy sire. It was a striking refutation of the common saying that "ministers sons make tbe worst boys."

THK oonuert aud literary entertain ment at the Universaliat Church on Tuesday evening, was highly suooessful, as are all tbe entertainments given by the energetic ladies of this ohureh. W. A. Crawford and J. R. Kendall encountered so many obstacles that their eleotrio light came next door to a failure.
EASTER Sunday was oue of the most lovely of spring days. The churches were thronged, and new clothes, new hats and new hearts were brushed up elegantly. There was certainly no hint of hard times in the aspeot of tbe streets leading towards the churches. Seventh street especially was tbe scene of as grand a dress parade as has been witnessed in this oity for many a day,
THB City Council has resolved to submit tbe questiou of a "Library Tax" to tbe people, and at the oomlng city eleo tlon there will be plaoed at tbe foot of each ticket the words "For Library Tax" and "Against Library Tax." The tax will be small, scarcely felt by tbe heaviest taxpayer. If every voter casts a ballot, either for or against, we have no fear of tbe result. The oounoilmen seem to be in favor of tbe tax, but very properly desire an expression from the people. Let them have it "by a large majority."

RORKPALJAIT'S GHEAT8HOW,
W. Durund the advanoa agent of Adam Forepaugli'* superb show was in the city on Thursday with a large corps of assistants to herald its coming on the 2d of May—-one woek from noxt Friday. Adam Forepaugh always gives an exhibition worthy of patronage. An advertisement in another oolumn gives soma of the features of this season's collection, and from an exohange we reprint the following ''Of all the many amusement attractions advertised to appear here for years, none have created tuch deep interest aa the promised advent of this great estab lirthment. In the north, east and west, where Mr. Forepaugh is better known the bare announcement that his ntupeud ous aggregation will appear is sufficient to insure a great out-pouring of the popu laoe. Gere we have heard much of his superb enterprise, and those well posted in matters zoological and arenic, have long ago learned to regard his as the leadin, menngerie, museum andcirciH of the road Showmen themselves are ready to concede his the moat elaborate, perfect and com prehennive of all traveling exhibitions A large real estate owner in Philadelphia and Brooklyn, and of large experience and liberal ideas, Adam Forepaugh can bring greater facilities and more capital to insure satisfactory entertainments than any other manager we now call to mind "This year he has added an avalanche of specialties to the old and varied collection which makes the ahow gigantic. He has just received a splendid specimen of the hippopotamus from the river Nile fabulous cost, an animal which actually HweatB blood from every pore. Twelve huge Asiatic elephants, a twenty toot giraffe, btheinoth of holy writ, team of fourteen camelB, six mammoth tableau curs, and fifty odd dens of rare wild beasts are among the (numeratedsurprises. The menagerie isNoachian in its proportions. The circus department hns been especially well cared for and boasts such names as Robert Stickney, the great general performer and seven horse rider Annie Car roll, whose equestrianism is the theme of tbe old and new world, and about one hundred celebrated circus people. This part of the programme will be enjoyable to an unusual degree. The procession, given in the forenoon will afford an evidence of the magnitude of the affair. See it, every body."
4th of July Celebration. A great attraction for ladies. A 5165 palace organ to be given away. Every lady can have a cbanco to tnake her home full of melody and get her spring or summer bonnet or bat and all tho notions, hosiery and fancy goods at the lowest prices, by going to E.
