bles, and still no response came, but an
increased clamor on the pant Of our stom-
aches for something to appease their
wants.
At length when patience had we'll
nigh turned to despair, the iron horse
snorted twice distinctly, as furnishing
pilgrim in an arid desert beholds the
goal to which his devotion leads him, we
heard the loud neighs of our snerting
steed, more musical than hundred cal
leopes, and again our train bounded
wildly through the wild wilderness,
winding around the butting cliff, or dart
ing down the darksome glen.
"Four and a half hours behind timc''
was no pleasant announcement, but as
the fiery steed. was now doing gallant
duty, we encouraged ourselves with the
hope that "some good was still in store
for US, and we sought out the train boy
and negotiated with him for the balance
of his stock in trade, of an edible char
acter which consisted of FIVE quarters
of Il small jelly cake. s
This we deyoured with rapacity, and
were far from being satisfied, when our
friend Schroeder drew from his valiese
the "3rd volume Of the Main law Advo-
cate" and we smiled with satisfaction.
At Mitchell, a genus homo came
aboard, and to prove that he was gen.
tleman, sT@ee very much like our army
did in Flanders P" that be would shave a
seat" when a dozen voices responded
"let's see you get it 4
The gentleman-we knew he was a
gentleman, because he swore hu gely in
car filled with ladies-retired to another
car, when our jocular friend Schoenlaub
quantity remarked, that the father of
that young man had forgotten to kill the
biggest hog he had ever raised. The
crowd didn't smile; of course not
Awakirg from light slumber, we
found ourselves at Seymour, at liz
o'clock, and were kindly informed that
we would be allo Sed 20 minutes to take
supper, and we acted on the hint and
laid in supply that preeluded all appre-
tensions of any further detentions on
the road. -.--..
Returning to the car we made the
pleasing discovery that country spoony
had laid our. overcoat--one we had Dor
rowed-out of our seat and taken quiet
possession of the seat as fixed location.
We read him feeling lecture on the
law of trespass and limited at a summary
suit of ejectment, with the celebrated at
torneys Schroeder and Schoenlaub as
counsel, when our rustic friend vacated
the premises, and as he made his exit
through the door of the car he hoarsely
whispered Cd d." by which token
we knew he was gentleman, also. +
After this we had speedy and pleas
ant ride to the city of pork and sausage,
and after some hesitation, and polite
refusal, on epart of night policeman
to convey us to the Hammond street Sta
ton House, we were happy enough TO
find ourselves at that palatial hotel, the
Spencer House, and under the care of
our ancient and excellent friend, Col
Pratt, who gave us royal entertainment
and downy couches, whereon to repose
our wearried limbs, and this is our last
recollection of our night in the vii
derness.

a COOP THING.-The members of Lo-
Gust street NJ E. Church, having for
sometime past been crowded and jam
med by the large audiences in the habit
of attending divine service in their pres
ent building, have wisely concluded to
build new edi6ee, on the purchased
for that purpose some time ago A sub
scrpition has been started and is being
responded to by the church in the most
liberal manner. -Four of the members
put down 81 1900 each-S6, 000-at the
outset; a large number subscribed
$1,000 each, and,a still larger number
$500 each.
1t is the design, we understand, to
erect building worth at east$30, 900
The congregation usually worshiping in
the old church will subscribe about
S2l, 900 of this amount; the lot on which
the present building stands will sell for
$4,000 more, and the citizens of the city
not connected with the church, it is
thought, will donate the remaining
$1,000.
We thing the calculations are safe.
Every property holder is pecuniarily in
terested in the erection of every fine
building constructed within the city
limits, especially if that building be
handsome church. We are quite certain
the outsider part of the subscription to
the new building willbe promptly paid

fire about u o'clock Taesua5 night. II
was occasioned by the burning OF large
stable in Sullivantown, the property, we
understand, of old Mr.. Sullivan. The
stable was not used for any purpose at
the time, and stood on vacant lot It's
destruction was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary. What his object could
have been, unless he designed to rob
willie the attention of the people was
drawn to the Ere, we cannot imagine.

on the part of everybody is essential,
