In this work Of preparation for attacks, the first
settlers fortified their cabins well they could.
The loft, as it was called, constructed of split
logs, that entering could not be made from
above.s The doors were made of split timber, from
three to four inches in thickness pinned firmly to
battens. and hung upon strong wooden hinges, run
ming the whole width of the door. The fastenings
were made by boring large augur hole through on
either side of the door, the door cheek. Then
the crotch of limb obtained from forest tree,
one prong Of which cut at length of three or
four inches, while the other shaved to it the
CUR hole. 1t was then driven in and wedged on the
outside. When the door shut a large wooden
bar dropped into the crotch. With his the door
was fastened securely. The door of such thick
ness that the Indians could not split it down with
their hatches or tom lhawks, and the bar the in
side held i: so firmly that it could not be forced

How to Keep a Church Down.

Talk in discouraging terms about the
prospects Of the congregation. This
will make people keep a good distance,
for no person wishes to connect him self
with sinking cause.
That you may be able to talk thus,
take little or no interest in the welfare
of the congregation yourself, excepting
as you can find fault with something.
Take care that your church, or lecture
room, be moderately cold and uncom
Portable. This will keep you from be-
ing crowded out of your seats by stran-
gers.
Place your church at the outskirts of
the town or village. If the people love
the ordinances, this will not keep them
away.
When you are asked for contribu-
ton to put your church edifice in as de-
cent repair as you keep your own pri-
vate dwelling, be sure to complain that
you have always to be giving money. -
If you are poor man, with moth ing but
a farm and few thousands at interest,
it would be unreasonable to expect you
to do much. Let others see to it.
Take care to raise an opposition in
the church to something, and spend your
zeal and labor upon that, and be sure to
side with members of other churche S
against your own. They will take You
by the hand, and praise you for your
zeal and piety. anI tie members of
your own com nunion will become de-
jected and scouraged.

End Of Abrams Trial.

INDIANAPOLIS, September ia consid
cradle audience gathered in the court
room, yesterday morning. on the hear
ing of the argument on the motion for a
new trial. Mr.. Mcdonald spoke in be-
half of the prisoner, and Mr.. Fishback
for the State. At the close of the argu-
ment Judge Wilson gave his decision
denying the request, and proceeded to
pass sentence of Incarceration in the
Southern Penitentiary for life.
Abrams said he was suffering for a
crime Of which he was innocent, and
that the evidence of that fact will yet
appear. He was perfectly cool.
The remarks predatory of the sentence
by the Judge were Ia most excellent
taste. He said if any one was in pos
session of facts which would tend to
show the innocence Of the defendant, b.
had not words to express his detestation
of their conduct

AUCTION CLOTHING SALEs.-One
of those travelling institutions which occas-
ioually drop down in place and sell ready
made clothing at auction, has recently been
operating in this city, and while here dis
posed of goods TO the amount of several
thous and dollars. 1t may seem like clock
ing the stable after the horse is gone, but
We propose to give two or three reasons
which we think are sufficient for not pa
troniziug such sales. We did not express
ourselves " bile the establishment was here,
for in the first place we could have accom-
plished no good results, and in the second,
IL would not have been just the thing TO
take the mems money for printing and then
have tried to prevent people from patroniz-
ing them. Now that they are gone We ara
under no obligation to them, nor 10 the
next persons engaged in the same business
who may come along, to hold our peace
One of our reasons for not patronizing
til csc sales is that olhing is TO be gained
by so doing. Good clothing costs money;
it can always be sold for its real value in
regular markets. Auc tioneer8 cannot
afford to sell good clothing tor the prices
they usually obtain they could do better by
selling directly TO the merchants. The con-
sequence is that they have to sell inferior
goods as first class, il, order to make profit.
We have heard number of instances
cent. mo re for goods at the late auction
than they could have been bought tor at
any of our clothing stores Of course goods
of fair quality can occasionally be bought
at such places, but such cases are exception
al. Once in our younger day ten shillings
secured US a pair of 'French broadcloth'
pants at an auction store. We managed
t. get the most of them home. but it was
not without the aid of a market-basket.
1t certainly was a'cheap.' pair of pants, but
we had strong and lasting opinion that
they were decidedly dear.
Another reason is that it is not treating
our regulars dealer justly nor airly. They
are with US all the time; summer nd win
ter, any day and any hour Ct the day we
can obtain nything in their line of which
we may be in need, from q neck-tie to an
overcoat and we know what we are buy
ing besides, if 'hard up" they will gen.
orally accommodate US by waiting few
weeks, or even months for their pay. They
pay taxes and rents, they patronize us in
business, they spend their money among US,
and fiat the end of the year they have
made any thing in their business, it remains
and is invested here, and adds to the
wealth of the place. On the other hand,
these travelling fellows take their pay, leash
down. and carry their gross receipts away
with them, excepting wha, little they may
leave with the landlord, the printer, the
store owner and the boy that rings the bell. |
These are our sentiments aud We practice
our theory.
