Terrible Catastrophe!

Among the terrible results of the
food none are more horrible than the
fate Of Mr.. James Mclaughlin and
family, living near New Galena, ALA
makee county. Not one Of the nine
persons comprising that family is left
to tell the story only conjecture pass
ed on what remains gives the facts. 1t is
presumed that when the waters of Bear
creek rose and surrounded their house,
they, alarmed, hitched up their team for
the purpose of escaping what seemed
impending destruction. Next morning
the team was found drowned, entan,
gled in the harness, with the wagon
attached. A search Of the house re.
vealcd no traces Of the family, except
hurried leave-taking. 1t is said that
even the candle they had used was
left burning. The supposition is that
in crossing ravine to get to the high
land the wagon was overturned, and
carried off and that in the darkness
of the night, and alone, the family per-
ished Search has been made for their
bodies, and the report was brought to
DEBORAH on Monday that four had been
recovered The truth of the report we
cannot endorse. -Decorah Republican.

It Came to Pass,

1t came to pass in the fourth month
of the first year of the reign of King
Gymnast the |. on the 22d day of the
month, that many of the tribe known
as Saint Charlesites were assembled
The chief men and boys whose souls
delighted in pleasure communed with
each other and said
"Bless my SOUL what a nice day for
practice /"
And it came to pass that they then
and there jumped, tumbled, swung,
and that many noises were forced into
unwilling ears eyes stood out with
gladness, boys laughed with JOY, and
the glory of the day was abundant,
inasmuch as the day was fair, and the
Saint Charlesites, who had spent much
time and labor Oh the throne of King
Gymnast, which is nigh unto the Jor.
dan, had good chance to go it, and
they COED
And it came to pass that jeremiah
of the house of God, and of the tribe
of Christians, and of the race of Ad-
am, did walk in silent communion with
his great Master, when 10 and behold! !
his eyes and ears were assailed by the
gathering of the Saint Charlesites,
nigh unto the Jordan. and he lent his
ears to the Inauguration oath Of King
Gymnast, as follows
Hearken! | shall swear solemn
oath BY this same soeptre, which
shall merer bud nor boughs bring forth,
as once which, having left its parent
on the mountain top. at which time the
woodman's axe topped off its foliage
green, and stripped its bark, shall new
er grow again"
And the children of the tribe of
Saint Charles spoke unto him of the
house of God, saying" Wherefore
art thou with us?" jeremiah heark-
ened unto the voice; cast his eyes
heavenward and turned his steps
towards the house Of God. AMEN.

For the Charles City Intelligencer
Dissertation of the Sabbath.

Mr.. EDITOR We noticed in your
last edition of the latelligenoer a com
munication signed "a Church Mem
ber," and it is with profound regret
that we of the same faith with him
were obliged to notice his topic of
complaint, and are now called on in
the manner of Christians to corrobo-
rate his statement, for we cannot re-
flute one assertion of the aforesaid COM
Therefore, it is our duty
as protesting Christians and law-abid-
ing citizens to also make an appeal to
our young friends to abstain from such
wicked practices on the Sabbath and
have respect for the day our Lord set
apart for religious exercises.
We sincerely trust that in future we
may be able to witness great and
good reformation among our young
friends, especially when the welfare of
so many is involved, and that they
will cease to set a bad example for
the "young ideas and those who are
budding into manhood.
Why do not the originators Of the
Gymnasium form society, elect a
board of officers, have a constitution
and bylaws, and set apart an hour or
two each evening of the six working
days for exercise Thus there will be
ample time for all necessary gymnas.
tic purposes after the hour to cease la.
bore p. NJ.
Now, young friends, in all kindness,
we urge you to make an effort in the
direction indicated, and we doubt not
your success. The CHURCH.

Disaster Caused by Lightning.

all of which persisted in the flames.
The total loss is put at 500. Mr.. ALE
son is a poor man, having only seven

The Orphans Home Swindle.

Upon the discussion of the Orphans
Home Bill, in the General Assembly,
Hon. G. Ben. DAWN charged that the
Orphans Home, as at present man
aged, was prolific in temptations and
opportunities for plumber. He said
that it was impossible to tell within
$40, 900 what the assets of the institu-
ton are, and the managers, themselves,
Of the Fair at Marshalltown, could
not report correctly into several thou
sands of dollars what the receipts of
the Fair were. The Orphans Home
seems to be rapidly assuming the char
acter of a huge sanitary" swindle.

subject, as he is above the average

Mr.. Montgomery Blair asserts that
President Lincoln looked upon the
States as members of the same body
still united to it by all the indestructi-
BILE ligatures of the C9nstit ution, but
suffering under the weight of the usur-
patton, a Suspended animation" Hence
we infer that the only question is as
to the weight of the usurpation and
the duration of the Suspended Anima-
ton. Unfortunately, Mr.. Blair rather
favors Usurpation, and Mr.. Johnson
does not act as if Animation were sus-
pended at all.
