Irving Preachers in Missouri.

Three ministers, charged with the crime Of
preaching g the glorious Gospel of the Son of
God,'' were arragned before a certain Judge.
They were regularly indicted, and it was I'M
derstood that the proof against them was very
clear and conclusive.

one of them.
g Yes, sir" he replied.
''To what denomination do you beong?"
g 1 am Christian. SIR" with dignity.)
" A Christian What do you mean by that?
Are not all preachers Christians 2"
q belong to that sect usually but wrong

"Ah, then you believe in baptising people
in order that they may be born again, do
you?"
q do. sir"
@ Mr.. Sheriff, discharge that man He is
an innocent man =; he is indicted for preaching
the gospel. and there isn't a word of gospel in
the stuff he breaches, It is only some of
Alexandria CampbelPs nonsense. Discharge
the man.
Exit Campbellite, rejoicing.
" Are you preacher !" said the Judge
addressing the next criminal.
" l am, SIR
"Of what denomination do you belong ."
&c am Methodist, sir" His looks
showed it)
"Then you believe in falling from grace ?"
." do, SIR
" Do you believe in sprinkling people in
stead of baptsing them =? :"
4 believe that people can be baptiSed by
sprinkling."
" Do you also believe in baptsing babies ="
1t is my opinion that babies ought to be
baptised''
"Not word of scripture for anything of
the kind, sir. Mr.. Sheriff, turn that man
loose, He is no preacher. The gospel is the
truth. and there isn't word of truth in what
that man teaches Turn him loose It's
ridiculous to indict men on such frivolous pre-
fences. Turn him loose
Methodist disappears, not at all hurt in his
feelings by the judicial abuse he had received.
"What are you, sir?" said the judge to a
third felon.
"Some people call me a preacher, sir"
{ Meekly.)
What is your denomination ?"
+" l am a Baptist" Head up.)
His honors countenance fell, and he looked
sober and sad. After pause he said:
"Do you then believe in salvation by
grace .

" Do teach thatimmersion only is baptism?"
" That is my doctrine
"And you baptise none only those who be-

THE ORIGINAL OH MAN OF CANADA-About
ten years ago a man named Pratt, who pos
sessed in a remarkable degree the rowing dis
position, happened TO pass through the town
Ship Of Enniskien, and seeing the " gum
beds, as they were termed, sbrewdly guessed
that there was something good to be found
there. He accordingly bought seventy acres
Of the land in which is now the centre of the
oil districts, and after having the gum analysed
1T Hamilton, left the country. He went to
the silver mines of Mexico and amassed
considerable fortune from thence he struck
over into Mexico, where, no doubt, he found
adventure enough to satisfy even his spirits,
and on the breaking outof the late war, he took
up arms on the side of the south, and fought
the yankees for four years In the meantime
nothing was heard of him, and on the discov
cry Of oil at Enniskillen, his estate was adj
ministered and reverted back to the crown.
About three weeks ago, however, the rover
stepped into a large oil establishment, an
nounced himself as the original old Pratt, and
politely requested the sol distant proprietors
to clear out" Utterly COMPOUNDED, these
gentlemen handed over $4,000 to quiet the
title, and Mr. Pratt set off for Ottawa, where
he asked the commissioner of crown lands by
what Authority bis lands were taken from him
and given to others. The answer was SO far
satisfactory that he set off in high glee, and,
when the writer met him on the cars, was on
lis way to Oil Springs 10 give number of
wealthy tresspassers, as he considered them,
e particular scissors" He expects to realise
some 5000, 600 in gold from the transaction.

has been in his capacity Of human being, he
cackles over that which would be a cause Of
sorrow and silence to every rooster ard to

CAV CAV ISLAND Wis, Oct. 25.
Cav Cav Island is about midway in lake
Horicon-which is some four by eighteen
miles in dimensions-and this lake being one
Of artificial origin, is vast bog upon all its
shores, and so shallow that every species of
diver can feed upon the wild celery which
grows in great abundance beneath its waters.
The club is well supplied with boats, and
every sportsman at liberty to shoot SingIy or
in company | found that when the gunners
scattered to the west and east bogs. that the
ducks were kept in motion, and flying shots
were more frequent at all points; but in rough
lea shores and islands, and lie very close, I'M
less put up by the guns.
This was the case on the afternoon [ first
rowed to the island and here l want to re-
cord fact As we pulled our dug out along
the western bog, the ducks commenced rising
and settling before US until at a distance Of
some two miles they had amassed into a solid
flock, and upon our turning a point all took
wing at once, filing and bIackenng the air
with their number Far as the eye could
reach, their long graceful curved lines of flight
extended, and | do believe that in numbers
they amounted to millions.
have seen since then, at a morning flight,
focks extending the whole width of the lake,
four miles, sweeping cautiously in one direc-
ton for hours And a noticeable fact is that
nearly all these fowls are Matched in the
waters of this lake The northern and migra-

species, the teal and widgeon were most nu-

let me remark, highly priced as is the NAL
lard, the principal fowl Of these waters-the
teal and widgeon are vastly its superior in fla
vor and delicacy. And in this connection l
must not omit to mention the great variety of
duck which here abound. In the boys of
single days shooting, it is not unfrequent that
mallard, red heads, dusky duck, pin tails, wild
geon, blue and green winged teal, wood duck
and butter balls, are all secured. am in
formed that a solitary canvas back was killed
last week By Mr. Bosworth Ineed not inform
sportsmen what zest such variety gives to
shooting.
AS a matter of general news, l can state
upon reliable authority that the general spe-
cies of larger game, such as deer and bear,
are very abundant in northern Wisconsin and
Michigan. Anywhere from Green Bay west
ward, or from Grand Haven in Michigan north
east, bear and deer are being killed almost
daily. Rufled grouse in Wisconsin were never
before so abundant, and some wild turkey have
been shot quite near Milwaukee.
It is said to be dangerous to be working

to be working near some sewing machines
when there is no thunder storm.
