Tiik niound-builjin- g dampliool has madehis appearance in Utah, and is dealing outmarreloui tale.
The Lagrange Monitor ia dead, the editor,our venerable friend Y. W. Gates, baring de-
termined to return to Jackson and there startanother paper.
The State Press association will meet atCLuksville on the twenty-fir- st instant. Mrs.Brinphurst, tiee Nettie 1. Houston, of Texas,will be the poet cf an occasion which there isno room to doubt will bo most profitable andenjoyable.
Tiik strawberries shipped from GacUdenstation this year brought eighteen thousandfour hundred and twenty-fiv- e dollars. Ap-
pearances now indicate that the peach-cro- p
will be equally remunerative. That suits us.
Tiik Lagrange Monitor thinks Hon. J. D.C. Atkins the mxst suitable man for speakerof the nest house. He is a warm friend ofthe Texas Pacific railroad, and we hope, says
the Monitor, the position of speaker will betendered him.
The Milan Exchange is in favor of holdinga rousing mass -- meeting in Trenton on thefirst Monday in July, in order to get the sen-
timent of the people in regard to the Statedebt, so that they can instruct their repre-sentatives what to do.
Give us, says tho Indianapolis Journal,the great southern railroad to California, andmanufactories of our staples in the Missis-
sippi valley and on the Pacific coast, and wewill command a large share of the China,Japan and the East India trade within tenyears. This plan will help us out of debtmuch sooner than Secretary John Sherman'splan.
Tiik Huinloldt Herald is authority for thestateaienl that all the leading papers of theStiite have taken the position that the legisla-
ture should the governor call them in extrasession ought to accept the proposition ofthe holders of Tennessee securities to com-
promise tho State debt at sixty cents on thedollar, and thereby save the people of Ten-
nessee ten million dollars.
Tub United States has more lines of rail-
way than Russia, Turkey, Germany, Austria,Great Uritain , France smd Italy combined,the5 total mileage of the United States beingnearly eighty thousand miles, against seventy--
six thou5and six hundred and twenty miles
in the countries named. Yet Russia has more
than double the population of the UnitedStates, Germany about two millions greater,and Great Uritain, Fnnce-- and Austria sev-
erally ubou? two millions 1? than this coun-l- r.
And yet we are not satisfied, and will
not t until we cover this continent with anet-wor- k of railroad.
If Hayes wiiTits to do the country a realservice, he will recall Pierre-pout- , who is
making an ass of himself generally; Thelatest evidence of this comes to us in thestatement that he recently petitioned Earl3Ianvers, the' head of the Pierre-pon- ts
of England, for permission to use thefamily crest on his carriage, and has availedhimself of the earl's gracious reply to his re-
quest. Thackeray said that an English Enob
was the most vulgar of all social pretenders,but there would seem to be a lower deep, ifAlio story of the American minister be true.
TnE Democratic press of Mississippi is onthe alert for the Independents. The CantonMail denounces them and their attempteddivision ot the Democratic party for their own
selfish purposes and to feed their personalambition; and the Coffee vL'le Vidttte. Vicks-bur- g
Herald and Senatcbia Tidal Wae allunite in calling attention to this party or
clique, of mixed complexion, which must bewaul1""1 closely and its baneful influence
counteract- - "Let us not," say the Vidette,
"in our fancJed security allow the wolf to Blip
in the gates ot" the folJ- - in the 8"jise of
innocent lamb. 'Verily, I say unto you,
watch.' "
We publish in another place, in thii day'sAppeal, a letter trom a well informed corre-
spondent touching the crops in this and theadjoining counties of the State. It will beseen that his statements are very encouraging.The crops are both varied and abundant, theamiuntof land under tillage being a largeincrease on that of any previous year. FromTther parts of the State the same cheeringpromise of abundant harvests reach us. ThetobaeC? Slants in the region devoted to thatstaple are growing finely, and the yield ofwheat in every' pst of the State will be agreat increase on ii" of preceding years.Thus with peace comes pioty.
Fkom the New York Tribune's Floridacorrespondent, who a few days since inter-viewed Governor Drew of that State, welearn that that State is getting on very wellunder the new order of things. Close econ-
omy is being introduced in all branches ofihe government. " We shall save," saysthe governor, " this year thirty thousand dol-
lars in our court expenses, twenty-fiv- e thou-

THE MEXICAX TROUBLES.General Sherman, in carrying out the in-
structions of the secretary ot war in regard tothe Rio Grande troubles, merely transmittedto General Ord, commanding the departmentof Texas, a copy of the letter of the secretaryof war, published this morning, which ex-plains fully the desire of the department, anddirects General Ord to communicate such let-ter to all the officers under his command.FOSTorricE troubles in Louisiana to be
INVESTIGATED.The postoffice department has sent a
special agent to Louisiana to take action re-garding two novel cases, in both of whichthe persons appointed to be postmasters areunable to get possession of their oihees. Itappears that Samuel Chapman, a coloredman, was commissioned last January as post-master of Clinton, an office in East Feliciar.aparish, worth about nine hundred dollars ayear. Under date of New Orleans, May 15th,he wrote to Postmaster-Gener- al Key, statingthat on account of the unsettled condition ofaffairs in the parish he made no attempt tooccupy the office until May 15th, and that inthe act of taking possession he was confrontedby Charles M'Very, a Democratic judge, andJ. B. Simms, a member of the legislature,who told him that so far as they were con-
cerned they were willing he should take thepostoffice, as he was born and raised amongthem, but he had made himself very ob-noxious to the white people cf the parish byupholding Packard's thieving governmentbefore the senate committee. Chapman'saccount continues: " They said that so far asthey were able they would protect me, butadded, ' there is no law that will protect youfrom a mob in case you attempt to take theoffice.' " He therefore asks the postmaster-g- M
ral what course he shall pursue in thepremises.
The other case is that of a colored mannamed Durlo who was appointed postmasterat St. Francisville, West Feliciana parish,last December, and who reports not only thathe is afraid of his life if he attempts to takepossession of his office, but also that he hasnot received his commission, although the de- -
has at different times sent three toEartment at St. Francisville postoffice.all three have been returned by the post-master whom he is to supplant marked "notcalled for."
In both of these cases represenations aremade to the department by citizens whosepood standing is indorsed by CongressmanEllis to the effect that the new appointees areby reason of illiteracy, etc., unfit for thepositions. The department will give athorough investigation and due weight to allsuch charges, but not while its authority isset at defiance and possession is forcibly re-fused to the holders of its commissions. Aspecial agent is therefore directed first to in-stall the new appointees in their offices, andafterward report whether they should be re-moved, but if the communities prevent apeaceable chang-- in the twf viliica ttieywill be temporarily abolished.

Two Ladles Killed and Seventeen Per-sona Injured by the Wrecking
of a Passenger Train.
Scranton, Pa., June 2. The Republican,of this morning, has the following particularsof the wrecking of a train last night on theLehigh Valley railroad. The first intimationthe engineer haA- - 4U. ,jMit 4ka vlo-le- nt
rocking of the train, and a few minuteslater the first passenger cars mounted the for-ward truck on which it rested and was pre-cipitated down a canal embankment, dis-tance fifteen feet, together with three othercoaches, all laden with passengers. Thecoupling broke, leaving the engine and onebaggage car in safety on the track. Thopainful scene which followed baffies descrip-tion. A wail of anguish rent the air as thepassengers dragged themselves from thedebris of the wreck. The four cars weresmashed to pieces, and many passengerswere down in most excruciating positions.Mrs. Power, of Scranton, and Mrs. Hickey, ofTonawanda, were killed, and seventeen othersseverely injured, four of them fatally. Mostof the injured are said to belong to Tona-wanda and vicinity. A miraculous escape isrecorded in the case of Mrs. Cool, of WestPittston, who together with her three chil-dren, including a little one six months old.was among the passengers and passedthrough the wreck with only a few slightscratches. The scene of accident is midwaybetween Laceyville and Wyalusing. Thowork of caring for the wounded was a tryingand painful one owing to the distance theyhad to be removed. Assistance was renderedas promptly as possible, and everything donethat could be accomplished to assuage thepain ol the passengers.
THE COUXCIL.
To be Held at Edinburgh in July Wext,Called for the Purpose of Forming
a Federation
Nashville Banner: The an
council, which will meet in Edinburgh, Scot-land, on the second day of next July, is forthe mere purpose of uniting closely the Pres-byterian churches, as they have had no bondof union hitherto. But as they hold sub-stantially the same creed, a strong feelinghas arisen that they should know each otherand for good parpbses. The firstformal proposal and plan of a Presbyterianfederation was unfolded in a paper by aprominent divine, re;id before a large ter-centenary meeting eommepioratiye of theScottish reformation held in PhiladelphiaNovember 20, 1872. The language used was;
"It has long been a favorite idea of minethat all the Presbyterian churches might bebrought togetiiei a 5.council, at which each' of ttiti&i wjjjht berepresented. Let it be understood that I donot proposo breaking up the separatechurches of British and continental Europe,cr of this country. In pur general govern-ment and ia en? State governments we haveSt model to which ve juht look in settlingthe relations which the several churchesmight bear to the central church' organisa-tion. Some grand principles might be agreedupon ; let thfm be few and simple. Of course,tiiere must be a doctrinal basis. But thisshould not consist in a new creed or confes-sion. Let each church ii?U.hi its own stand-ards, and be admitted into the'uriiori only oncondition that these embrace the cardinaltruths of salvation. There must also be cer-
tain principles of church order presupposed;such as the parity of ministers and govern-ment by representative inci!s in whichministers ana elders have a joint place. . Butthe mode of carrying out these principlesmust be left to each organization, in this waysecuring that we have in the church, as innil the works of God, unity and variety "
This paper was loudly cheered at the timeand was afterward widely circulated. InMay following, motions approving of tho ob-
ject were earned in the general assemblies ofhe oreat Presbyterian church in Americar irRh Jt resbvtenan church, inCM&foUowu, iiC helical Alliancemet in New York, and a aid nicCting washeld of persons holding reformed and Pres-byterian principles all over the world. Themeeting was unofficial, but a provisional com-
mittee there appointed addressed thirty-eig- ht
churches, asking their countenance and con-currence, and a paper was drawn up explana-tory of the principles and aims of the move-ment. In the summer of 1874 meetings offriends were held in London, Belfast and Edin-burgh, and it was agreed to organize thewhole scheme at a conventioa to be held inLondon in July, 1875. At this meeting therewere deputies from twenty of the principalPresbyterian churchss throughout tlie world.The meeting lasted orJy three days, butduring this brief period an agreement wascome to as to the principles held in commonby the churches, and a constitution wasdrawn out. It was agreed that the firstcouncil should be held in Edinburgh in July,1876, but it had to be adjourned till the firstweek in July, 1877, in consequence of theAmericans being so absorbed last year withtheir centennial.Xon-Unlo- n Sloulders Shot by Striker.

From .London.London, June 2. The Times Constan-
tinople correspondent, having just returnedfrom a close inspection of Varna, Rustchuckand Shumla, states that he cannot conscien-tiously report much in favor of the Turkishmilitary authorities. The private soldiers areundoubtedly good and patient, but they areexecrably fed, while the officers, with fewstriking exceptions, are not equally good.Abdul Kerim Pasha, the commander-in-chie- f,
is old and in bad health. The troopsare armed well, the cavalry especially so, andfairly horsed. The hospital arrangements arenot worth mentioning, and there is muchsickness and scurvy. The vegetable diet,lately issued at the instance of an Englishdoctor, proved beneficial. Chloroform isgreatly needed. Three-fourth- s of the officersare newly appointed, and have had no previ-ous training The general fault of the armyis lack ot organization and Oriental slowness.Some of the officers, however, are most ableand hard working. At Varna the AustrianGeneral Stracker is working day and night.There is but one English officer m the army,and he is merely a captain of cavalry.
A special from Berlin states that Russiarefuses all applications of British officers toaccompany the army as spectators.
A telegram from Syria says discouragementexists in official circles in Constantinople, be-cause it is not known how a sufficient forcecan be collected to resist the Russian advance.The hopes that the capture of Souk gum wouldlead to insurrection in the Caucasus have nowdisappeared, the Circassians, fearing Russia,havinsr laid down their arms. Turkey isweak from material causes, which render itdifficult to maintain a long resistance.
From Constantinople.Constantinople, June 2 The recapture
of Ardahan is not regarded here as certain.The various telegrams hitherto received havenot emanated from the Turkish militarycommanders.
More Softas have been arrested and sent totheir native places to prevent disturbances inthe capi'a'.
Two thousand laborers have been employedto work upon the Stembone fortifications.
Pfazlyl Pasha reporU from Sukumkaleh,under date of May 29th, that four battalionsof troops with some Circassians defeated theRussians posted between Sukumkaleh andKutais, capturing eight mounted guns and aquantity of ammunition. The Russiansthrew seventeen guns into the river Kodraand destroyed the bridge after them.
It is officially announced that the reportedcapture of Ardahan is erroneous.

Hearts.
Special to the St. Louis TimesNewark, N. J., May 30. On Thursday
night three men went to the house of JohnBollinger, a farmer residing near RoundBrook creek, and asked for beer. Bollingerwas absent in Newark, and only his wife anddaughter were at home. On being refused,the men seized the two women; the daughter,however, escaped from the house, but themother was several times outraged. Soonafter the women met Bollinger returningfrom Newark, and with him came to the po-lice headquarters, and asked for officers toprotect them from further violence, but nonewere sent. Last night two male friends vol-
unteered to stay with them for protection.At ten o'clock this morning the door wasbroken open with an ax, and seven men en-tered, and with knives and pistols forced themales into a bedroom. They then took thewomen from under a bed, where they had hidthemselves, and four of the men took themother into a room, while three other menseized the daughter, whom they carried tothe woods. Both were ravished many timesin succession. Bollinger managed to escapefrom the house, and made his way to policeheadquarters, when a squad of officers weresent to the scene. The three men with thegirl were surprised in the woods, two beingcaptured, tbe other making his escape. Theprisoners, WilUam Cavanaugh and OwenJillen, are both young men. The police areon the track of the others.

Additional Particulars Concerning theWreck of the City or San Pran-- "
Cisco. Hetalled by Passengerson the Ill-Fate- d Vessel.
San Francisco, June 2. Captain Wad-de- ll
and Puieier Jerome, of the steamshinCity of San Francisco, and Moses li'.' Sargent, 01 Boston, and ivingsland Button, otNew York, passengers, arrived bv train today from San Diego. The San Franciscoevening papers publish interviews,giving further particulars of the disaster.The captain and purser are unwilling tomake statements until the former has sub-mitted his report to the asrents. The conmanvofficers avoid giving theories concerning therock on which the ship struck. The passengers say aeep water was ail around it. ThpMexican gunboat officers say they knew noth-ing of it. Before the shock when the shiustruck there was about thirty seconds dura-tion; in a .few minutes after strikingthe boats were cleared away withoutconfusion, and the passengers in them readyfor foctng; a full head of steam was putont the' ship grounding about four milea,r. i xi T L : 1 T X Alirom snore, wnen tne ooats were instantlylowered and pulled for the beach. On land-ing, out of nine boats, only one escaped up-setting. The surf was combing twelve orfifteen feet big'b. and when it struck theboats, it came with, such force tht the occu-pants were hurled ten or fifteen feet;babes were thrown from the armsof tlieir mothers: even garments andiewelry were wrenched from themby the waves. When the first boat touchedthe shore, those in it threw out a rope andranared themselves in line to help the nextcomers; and this system of rendering assistance was followed until every soul was sale
life"was extinct, aZ ifc took some time torestore it to vitality. One of tne 22? wascaught undrr the boat and held there forsome time; but, when the next swell of thesea raised the craft, she managed to escape.There was no time for delicate handling, themen knowing that the safety of their lives de-
pended on vigorous action, and they handledthe children as they would so many bags ofsand. In attempting to launch a boat toreturn to the wreck, the assistant engineerhad a leg broken. Captain Waddell was thethe last to leave the ship, at five o'clock inthe evening. Only about fifteen feet of thevessel then remained above water, the waveswashing over her and knocking her to pieces.He, with thirty-fiv- e otheis, came ashore ona hfe-raf- t, which went over the surf withoutcapsizing. Captain Waddell reports that thecargo of the Acapulco, from New York, May1st, was not from the City of San Francisco,except one package fast freight. A court ofinquiry to take testimony on the loss of thethe steamer will be held next week.

who has recently been condemnedby one of the Paris tribunals to two yearsimprisonment for fraud in connection with acompany known as tie Catholic Federation,tho professed object of which was to enrollworkmen beneath the banner of the cross, byinducing them to join in various commercialundertakings of which he was the promoter.Among these undertakings, says the PallMall Gazette, were a Catholic laundry, sev-eral stores, and a savings bank.Another enterprise with which the marquiswas associated was that of a railway fromJaffa to Jerusalem, the concession for whichbad been obtained from the sultan, but, after
passing through several hands, this companywent into oanKrupicy witnous naving con- -
Tucted the railway. In the course of thetrial it was proved that the marquis, who as-
serted that he had spent nearly lour hundredthousand dollars in good works, had arrivedin Paris without a penny, and that he wasglad to obtain the post ot beadle in a churchin the suburbs. This was just after his re-turn from the north of Spain, whence he hadbeen expelled by Don Carlos, who refused toaccept him as an emissary from General Ca-
brera. It was while holding the humble of-fice of beadle that he organized the CathobcFederation ; and his efforts were so fiir suecessful that the undertaking received the ap-probation of Comte de Ohatubord and of Cardinal Antonelli, and subscriptions flowed infreely. Nearly all the witnesses testified thatthey had been induced to invest their moneywith the marquis out of zeal tor the Catholicreligion.

JEROME PARK SPRING MEETING.New York, June 2. The spring meeting
of the American jockey club opened to-da- y,
the weather being fine and the track in goodcondition. The attendance. , was large. Itwas feared that the law passed by the lastlegislature forbidding pool selling wouldhave a bad effect on the attendance and adepressing influence on the interest taken bythose present in the several events. Nothing,however, of this was noticeable. The corneroutside of the grand stand where pools wereformerly sold presented a deserted appear-ance to the regular habitues, but book-maki-

Wheat is promising, althoughthe southern portion of Fayette will have alarger yield than last, by thirtv-thre- e and one-thir- d
per cent. Our best uplands will pro-duce this year twenty-fiv- e bushels wheat peracre. There is very little smut. The pastthree or four weeks has been too dry for oats;the red winter, sowed in the fall, is very fine;there wdl be a better yield, by twenty-fiv- e
per cent., over last year. The prospects forthis and adjoining counties aro promising.Prosperity again is disposed to smile pro-pitiously upon us. Our peach and apple cropis very promising. If there is no blight,great quantities of peaches (Hale's early andother varieties) will oe shipped from this coun-ty. For the first time in fifteen years Fayettecounty ia g; perhaps over a mil-lion pounds of meat to spare over and abovehome consumption. Planters have improvedtheir stock of every kind; the best quality ofcattle, hogs, horses, mules, goats, poultry;the cross of Durham and Aryshire cattle arevery fine milkers and fine beef cattle. TheBerkshire and Essex hogs give general satis-faction; hogs fourteen months old averageabout two hundred and seventy-fiv- e pounds,and are kept fat on from three to five ears ofcorn per day. Let the eyes of the people beopened to the importance of these tilings,and ere long the traveler can but say thatTennessee, especially West Tennessee, is thefinest country extant, and stop this emigra-tion west. Our people will become contentedwhen they find our resources are being fullydeveloped. At Moscow, situated within astones throw, we have, perhaps, the best water-

Very soon flour can be sold herefor three and three and a half cents perpound. Try it. All along the line of Wolfriver and its tributaries those fond of anglingare building fish pools or ponds that are prov-ing a success. These pools are fed fromnever ceasing springs of fresh water; sev-eral are built near Moscow. Captains L. S.Davis and R. W.

Detective Porter, of Sew York, Insiststhat he ean In ravel the Mystery
than hangs about the OreatCrime.
New York Sun: "I will Droduce." saidSecret-Servic- e Detective John Porter, ''themeerschaum pipe, tobacco-bo- x and watchtaken from Mr. Bejamin Nathan immediatelyafter the murder, and affidavits clearlysetting forth the cause of the murder, andby whom planned and executed." Thisassertion was made a few days ago in arendezvous of secret-servic- e detectives in theBowery. "Cale Gunnion, Johnny Irving,and Billy Forrester were brought by Kelly,the housekeeper's son, into a plan to robiuii AiauiMU a DOic, laic UCICLUVC UUUCU." Mr. Nathan was very regular in his habits.He returned home invariably between elevenand twelve o'clock at night. Before goingto bed he always smoked his meershaum pipe,wound np his watch, which he put on a night-tabl- e
at his bedside, as also bis tobacco-bo- x.
Young Kelly found the men above mentionedand admitted them to the house. Mr.Nathan returned home, called Kelly to hisroom, and cave him Grders for the following morning. He closed the door, andretired, as it was thought, to bed. At oneo'clock in the morning, Kelly entered hisroom and found him sleeping. He then ad-mitted Cale Gunnion and John Irving, BillyForrester being left outside the houae, togive warning in case cf danger. It waswhile Cale Gunnion was trying to force thesafe open with the dog that Mr. Nathanroused from his sleep. Seeing Kelly, heasked him what he was doing there. BeforeKelly could reply, Cale Gunnion sprang up,with the intention of running away, whenMr. Nathan grappled with him. Gunnionstruck him on the head with the dog, and, asMr. Nathan staeErered out of the room. Gun.nion struck him again, killing him." Detect-ive Porter said that he could procure affidavitscorroborating this story, and that CaleGunnion had repeatedly expressed regret atthe killing. " Gunnion is in the Albany peni-tentiary, having twenty years to serve; Irv-ing and Forrester are in Sina-- Siny. and Kellvis in Auburn. The detective, last evening, re-iterated his assertion that he could producethe watch, box and pipe, and, if further evi-dence was needed, obtain confessions fromn.euy ana ijunmon.

Johnson. 5,prominent colored politician in this cjty"wrote to Governor tciie to ascertain if thegeneral press disDatches cave a trn TOrtinnof the affair. The letter evoked the follow-ing reply from Governor Stone, dated Jack-son, May ISth :
Dear Sir Your letter of the fifteenth instant was received by to-da- mail, I wishthat a larger number of your people werewilling to hear both sides before condemning.Since the recent unfortunate occurrence mKemper county, April 29th, there has been nooutbreak in that county, nor any demonstra-tions toward violence, nor any well-found-
arDrehensions of tronblp. T
of trouble as soon as report of it reached me.ana remained mere a part 01 two days. 1made a full investigation, andfreely with the family of Judge Chisholm. Iafterward visited the judge of the district,who was at the time holding court in Colum-bus, and obtained his promise to hold a spe-cial term of the circuit court, with a viewto a full judicial investigation. I returnedto Jackson on the seventh instant, leaving every thing quiet m Kemper, and assured by citizens and officers thatthere was not the slightest danarer of furthertrouble. I started to Natchez on the eighth,but left Natchez on the next night, and bythe first boat, having received the telegramof Captain M. Shaugbnessy, which has beenpublished in the northern journals. I didnot believe the fears expressed in his tele-gram were well founded, but I desired to doall in my power to convince any reasonableperson that there was no cause of apprehen-sion. I had just left Kemper county, andknew better than Captain Shausrhnessv thecondition of affairs there. Ten days hadelapsed since the attack on the jail, andeverything was quiet. It was not true thatJudge Chisholm and his family werein danger from any mob. An early judicialinvestigation was promised, and I wasnot widing, in order to silence the clam-ors of any one, to permit the invasion of thecounty by a body of armed men, and thusgive sanction to a violation of law. As Cap-tain Shaughnessy's "volunteering the neces-sary force to protect the widow and her fami-lv- "
was matin ten da vs after the attack onthe jail, when everything was quiet, and aseight days have since elapsed, and quiet stillprevailsl should say: "The reports herald-ed through the north," based solely upon histelegram, "are rather highly colored.' . It isnot true that Mrs. Chisholm and her hus-
band were in danger of assassination whilethe latter was lying wounded at home; it isnot true that her residence was guarded by amob day and night; that they swore to takeher husband's life, and that she was notallowed egress or ingress without apass from the head of a mob. Ko due jus-tifies the act by vhic'u Judge Chisholm losthis life. Eveiything that is possible sha1! bedone to arrest and runish the guilty parties.I do not hope to silence the misrepresenta-tions of n;ea who are making political capi-tal out of the unfortunata attair. The southhas been too long the victim ot misrepresent-ation for your people to become willing sud-denly to hear both sides before condemning.The recent telegrams and articles that haveappeared in northern papers are based solelyupon my refusal to consent to an invasion ofKemper county by a body of men from othercounties. The folly of consenting to such aproposition when no trouble was apnrgQjgjmust be apparent to everj feasonableerson.

Theassets are nominally larger than the liabili-ties, but their real value is not known. It isthought that the settlement will be at aboutsixty-fiv- e cents ou the dollar.

.Never has nas ed from the clasn of mournlnerfriends one whose faith with meekness could con-template brighter visions of glory awaiting theChristian on Eden's blissful shore.

To the welfare of the poor she ministeredwith unwavering tenderness and devotion.
