A DOG MAIL TRAIN.-The following
extract from private letter from Penn
bina shows how the mail is transported
from that point to Crow Wing:
should have written to.you four days
ago, but the mail had to lay over one trip
on account of the lameness of one of the
carrier dogs. You will probably think it
strange that the great United States mail
should be delayed several days for such
cause, but nevertheless it was. The mail
is carried from here to Grow Wing, a
distance Of three hundred and fifty miles,
by dog trains, and il one set Of dogs Get
! footsore when their turn comes, the mail
has to My over. Tomorrow they say
the dogs will be right and the mail will
go forward. l saw the 6rst dog mail train
leave here on last mail day. It consisted
of three middlingsized dogs. They looked
moro ike wolves than dogs. They had
regular harness. very fancifully ornament
ed, and buckskin saddles, gorgeously
worked withsheads. The dogs are driven
in tandem style, They 60 from forty to
fifty miles per day, the half driver
trotting behind most Of the way st.

- The Central church Sabbath school

~ The Central Church Sabbath School
celebration and festival on New Years Eve,
was entirely successful. The celebration in
NE church in the earlier part Of the evening,
was highly entertaining and instructive. The
parts sustained by the school, of singing, reci-
astions and dialogues, were admirably execut-
-. The comedy Of Secession, In which all the
States Of the Union were represented by
ysung ladies Of the school, was capital idea,
and successfully given. The church was filed
With delighted audience.
At the close of the exhibition in the church,
NJ children and the congregation, as many as
could be accommodated, repaired to the large
vsstry and others below, where as nice and
abundant feast e any one could wish, was
rsovidsd, Of which all seemed heartily to pse
uks. OF this branch of the entertainment
- ladies' who had it in charge have great
rsason to BE- proud. An antiquarian supper
was also provided, and was equal to anything
n the kind We have ever seen, and it was so
extensively patronized by the throng that the
old folks we're almost, II not quite, eaten out
Of houss and home. Altogether, 1t was a very
