No Tuning During Service.

The following anecdote, from the New
Hampshire Telegraph, is too good to be
lost:
Many years ago there was in the eastern
part Of Massachusetts, a worthy d. d., and
although he was an eminently benevolent
man and good Christian, yet it must be
confessed that he loved joke much better
than even the most inveterate jokers, 1t
was before church organs were much in
use it SO happened that the choir IF the
church had recently purchased a double
bass yiol Not far from the church was a
large pasture, and in it Il huge town bull.
One hot Sabbath in the summer he got out
Of the pasture, and came believing up the
street. About the church there was plenty
of untrodden. and good grass, and Mr..
Bull stopped 10 try the quality; perhaps
! to ascertain if its location had improved
its flavor, at any rate the Doctor was in
| the midst Of his sermon when:
" Boo.woo.woo,' went the bull.
! The Doctor paused, looked up at the
singing seats. and with grave face said ::
Il would thank the musicians not to
tune their instruments during service time
! 1t annoys me very much.
The people stared, and the minister
went on.
i. " Boo woo.woo," went the bull again, as
he passed another green spot.
The parson paused again and addressed
the choir:
al really wish the singers would not
tune their instruments while am preach
ing, as remarked before, for it aDnoys
me very much.
The people Uttered, for they we'll knew
what the real state Of the case was.
The minister then went on again with
his discourse, but had not proceeded far,
before another Boo WOO WOO came
from Mr. Bull.
The paraon paused once more, and
again exclaimed
81 have twice already requested Of the
musicians in the gallery not to tune their
instruments during the time am preach
ing. | now particularly request Mr.. La
fever that he will not tune his double bass
yioI while ain preaching.'

Hon. w. =. DAVIS, started to Washington
to join her husband who is clerk in one
Of the departments. AT st. LOUIS her
two children were taken sick, and she re
moved them to Quincy, where they both
died. The little girl, aged two years, died
first; and Benny, aged 4 years, expired
about days afterward. The stricken
father vas ,eegraphed to come to Quincy,
but was moi able to reach that point until
after the death Of the little girl. The
bodies oc the children will probably be

Large Boulder.

4 correspondent Of the Algona Press,
kossuth county, Iowa, says:
There is a very large granite boulder,
known as Blacktord, on section six, Town
ship ninety. seven, range twenty nine,
twelve miles north Ct this village, and |
am curious to know whether it is not the
largest bonlder in the world. This rock.
though lying on rather low ground, can
be seen for several miles, and might easily
be mistaken for large house. If it lies
half below the surface OF the ground, it
contains over tIeeice thousaHd cubic feet
of solid granite, and must weigh some
thousand tons The texture of the st ne
is fine and hard, and though il has two or
three seams through it, | should think it
would afford columns or slabs twenty feet
long. This rock is made a point ON the
road recently laid out from Algona to
Chain lakes on the State line.
