FATHER ACCIDENTALLY KILLED by HIS
SoN.-Ducan Grey, a very worthy farmer
residing near Monroe, Jasper county, Iowa
was instantly killed on the 2d, by the
careless handling Of gun. Mr.. G.. was
returning home i, his wagon accompa-
MED by his son George, who was walking
carrying gun. AS the roads were pretty
muddy, his father said hc had better get
into the wagon. He went to the hind end
to get in. having the gun in his hand, and
in climbing in the hammer struck the tail
board, and the gun went of, sending its
contents (seven Luckshot) through his IA
theirs head. The load went in ius. back
of the right, and came out above the left
ear, killing him instantly. He leaves a
large family. well provided for. This is
another warning 10 persons handling fire
arms. The son Is on the verge OF insaf,i-
sy.--[ Vyginia .Scnfinai.

PRAISEWORTHY.

We are gra.ilicd to see that an effort is
beng made to raise the necessary subscrip-
ton, for the support of resident Minister
in our Village There is perhaps net an.
other ViIlnge in the State, with wealth and
resources equal 10 ours, tlirt does not en-
tertaia single LEGAL Minister True there
Is one living among us, but he is in charge
OF large circuit and we enjoy but portion
OF his labors. 1t is by no means n difficul,
matter to account for the deficiency. Why
is It that men so reluctantly dole out the
pitiful sums of ter, twenty, or thirty dollars
as their church subscriptions, who can count
their yearly income by thousands! Aside
from the religion of the heart, reason, pru-
dence and sense o! morality, admonisl, us
that the ministry should be sustained and
as our respect and veneration for the same
is manifest; 10 will the example be follow
ed by our pusterity.
Wherever there is n will, there Is n way /:
the means are in the hands Of the people OF
Lancaster; If they really desire Minister,
the way to secure one is plainly open before
them. We are not of that class who believe
that ministers should labor for triffling re-
compense; neither are we in favor of the
princely salaries that are SYSTEMATICALLY
awarded by many churches but they should
be freed from the cares of grappling for a
subsistence, that they may be enabled to
devote their whole attention to the duties of
their profession. "The laborer is worthy
( his hire"

have men TO represent us in the Legislature,
who are not only firm in their opinions, but
