The chief feature in the services of the Catholic churches was the Bnveiling of the cross, representicg the token of veneration. Instead of the ordinary mass, that which is termed the mass of the pre-sanc- tified was offered. The altars continued en- tirely dewuded of their ornaments, while the Tiest= and acolytes were clothed in mourning. ‘be kiss of peace was omirted in detestation of the kies of Judas, and the prayers for th- day included Tations for all classes, orders Taps im the charch, and for heretics, smatics,ete. But by far the most impres- sive portion of the service was the “Adoration Of the Cross,” a ceremony which was pirtici- pated im by the entire congregations, as wellas by the priests and attendants. In met the crucifixion of Obrist large cr Placed upon the altars with approp! Bones, which the priests first reveren ed, then im quick succession, their acolytes, and they, in turn, were toliowed by the me: bers of the congregations, The office of -Ten-- brae.” which was performed on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, was also observed last night. In the Episcopal churches also, es isily those with what are called ritualistic te Gencies, the day was celebrated wih muc solemnity, and with typical ceremonial, but gemerally the observance was as of ali other fasts and holy days—the reading of the service Sor the day abd the delivery of a sermon on an Sppropriate theme. To morrow (Easter Sun- Gsy.) tbe orpaments will be restored to the altars of the catbolic churches, the emblems of mourning Gaving been entirely removed, and the ceremonies will of @ er religious joy, emblematic of Christ rissa from the dead, snd the pepitential season ended. ‘The music will be of the highest order, an the fullest choir. fhe lati service Church, corner 25°b street and Peni 8 *, Will be at 10% o'clock a. m.

Engineers and Expresxmen—the most exacting of watc!i- Wearers—bas thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class inall these respects, is to decide the question ast) the Feal value of these time keepers. More than 400,090 of these watches are now speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo- ple—e proof and a guarantee of their superiority over all others. ‘The superior organization and great extent of the Company’s Works at Waltham, enable them to produce watches at « price which renders compe: tition futile, and those who buy any other merely pay from 25to % per cent. more for their watches than Is necessary. We are now selling Waltham Watebes at less prices in greembacks than the gold prices betore the war. There is no other manufactcre of any kind in the United States of which this can be said These time-pieces combine every improvement that a long experience has proved of real practical ure, Having bed the refusal of nearly every tn- vention in watchmaking originating in this coun- try, or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which severe testing by the most skillful artizans in our works, and long use on the part of the pub lic, demonstrated to be essential to correct and en- during time-keoping.
