Good Spelling.

A pious but illiterate deacon, in
a certain town in Massachusetts,,
gave a stage driver a slip Of paper,
on which he said, were written the
names of couple Of books which
he wished him to call for at book
store. The driver called at the store,
and handign the memorandum to
the clerk, said :-"There is a couple
of books which Deacon B. wishes
you to send him." The clerk, after
a careful examination of the paper,
was unable to make "head or tail''
of it, and passed it to the book
keeper who was supposed to know
something of letters, put to him it
was Greek The proprietor was
called, and he also gave up in des-
pair. and it was finally concluded to
send the memorandum back to the
deacon. 1t was supposed he, must
have sent the wrong paper. AS the
coach arrived at the village inn, the
driver saw the deacon standing on
the steps. c 80
"W ell, driver said he, "did you
get my books to-day p IL:
Books? No! and good rea-
son why! for there couldn't a man
in Worcester read your old hen
tracks, .s:E =
"Couldn't read 'riten? Let me
see the paper"
The driver drew it from his pocket,
and passed It to the deacon, who, tax
ing out and carefully adjusting his
glasses, held the memorandum at
arms length and exclaimed, as he
did so, in very satisfied tone:
"Why it's as plain as the nose on
your face. ssTo Sam B-u-x-two
psalm books p l guess his clerks
had better go to school quarter"
And here the deacon made some
reflections upon the Ignorance of
the times,'' and the want of attention
to books by the6"rising generation"
which would have been very well if
said by some one else.

IFrom the Wooster Republican,.
Eho "DemOcratico Editor De-
canned


At the late session Of the United
States District Court in Cleveland,
the Grand Jury found an indictment
against JAMES A. ESTELL, Pro
bate Judge of Holmes county and
editor and Publisher of the Wayne
county Democrat and Holmes county
Farmer, in which he is charged
with forging and issuing fraudulent
naturalization papers to sundry
persons. A warrent was issued for
his arrest and the United States
Marshal visited his residence and
place Of business in Millersburgh
and also came to Wooster in search
of the Probate Judge, but he could
nowhere be found, and nothing
could be learned of his whereabouts.
We have heard it said that he was
not long since snugly enseonced be
hind the ramparts of Fort Napoleon,
in Holmes comfy, and that he de-
sired rally under his banner the Dem
ocratic chiefs of Wayne, Holmes
Coshccton, DC, to resist the United
States Marshal, as in former times
he instigated Others to do; but he
said "chiefs" could not see it, and
SO Estell has become a wonderer,
far from home and friends, and is
now no doubt calling on the rocks
and mountains to hide him from
the wrath to come We understand
the parties who have his case in
charge say that his prospect of rep
resenting Holmes county in Colum-
bus was never better, if he can be
persuaded to return and t0he the
certificate emitting him to the place

Mr.. D. l.. Moody, OF Chicago, has a
way of hurting out his sentiments at
prayer meetings. Not long since, at
one of those meetings, some one rose
and stated that the Erring Women's
Refuge, in that city, was in great need.
and asked the prayers of the congrega-
ton in its behalf. One of Chicigo's
richest men,who is said to be somewhat
minute in his contributions to beneyo-
lent objects, volunteered at once to lead
the meeting prayer in behalf of the in
stitution named. He had scarcely clos
ed, when Mr.. D. L. Moody got to his
feet, and said that it was wrong to ask
God to do what he had given us the
power to do ourselves. s'The idea," said
he, ''of a man who can draw check for
one hundred thousand dollars asking
God to give money to the Erring Wo-
mems Refuge is preposterous! Let him

Durino Hoods raid in Ten

During Hoods raid in Tennessee,
among the many captured in front
of Nashville was soldier belonging
originally to Fosters company of
Battles Twentieth Tennessee (rebelD
regiment, named G.. W. Selfrilge
After his capture he was taken to
Elmira, New York, since which time
he has been in the hospital at that
place, suffering from chronic dysen
terry. He is about forty-nine years
of age, and arrived here on Tuesday
evening in search of the loved ones
at home. He received transporta
ton over the northern railroads to
Louisville, and being refused a free
trip over the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, he set out on foot and
walked all the way to Nashville He
proceeded down market street until
he reached the Gordon Honse, where
he was taken by the proprietor and
kindly treated. He had abundle on
his back, containing quilt coverlet
He told his story, and afterwards
was provided with lodging for the
night, and slept soundly, but was
too much fatigued to eat any thing
until yesterday, when his manner at
the table showed that he appreciated
the good things set before him. His
home is about five miles from La
vergne, where he has wife two
or three children. After appeasing
his appetite, he fortunately met with
an old comrade in arms, who took
him in charge and conveyed him by
last evenings train to his home.
His mind is some what impaired,
and when telling his story he would
frequently wander away from his
subject. He expressed himself as
very desirous of seeing his children
and no doubt the meeting around
his own fire side of family and
friends was scene of more than or
dinsry pleasure to those who had
not seen him for years.-Nashuile
