of age made bis appearance in barber shop
the other morning in company with bis
father. The boy having just put on pair
Of new boots, attracted the attention Of an
acquaintance, who remarked that they were
not made well and would prove worthless.

BRIGHAM You've ON PoLYGAMY. - brig-
ham Young claims that polygamy is not Pc
cuiar 10 Mormouism. In sermon recently
he said that father Abraham had many
wives, and he quoted many others. lie SAID
that God had never forbidden polygamy.
The Savior never rebuked it, though sur
rounded by it. 1t was a new invention TO
rule ont lthis practice Of the olden time.
"But," said he, ''we are not polygamists
exactly" Gle has children by nine wives }
"But we are sealed for eternity, as it is re-
vesled to u.s." He then spoke of the dreary
life that must be passed through the untold
and ncomp rehensible period of eternity by
those who have no congenial spirits ''sealed''
to them. These sealed companions, beauti-
full angels in eternity, will make us happy
in the presence of God. But Brigham did
MT explain the effect upon the men. While
man has twenty wives or angels to make
him happy, the poor women have only one
twentieth part of q man to attract their at
| teptiou.

IMPORTANT CONVERSION TO CATHOLICISM.
We learn on authority which we are forced
to regard as .unquestionable that the Rev.
James Kent Stone, d. D.. late President o.
Hobart College (Episcopalian) at Geneva,
has unqualitiedly declard his remuneration
of the tenets Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church and his conversion to Catholicism.
This announcement will occasion no little
surprise among those of the Doctors friends
who know how zealously he labored in the
cause with which he has SO long been iden-
titled. DR.. Stone is a man Of great ability
an eloquent speaker and profound thinker
He is grandson Of Chancellor Kent. FL
was formerly President Of Kenyone College
in Ohio, and accepted the Presidency Q
Hobart College something over year ago
He resigned in July last and went to Boston
where he now resides.

IMPORTANT TO o. c. IL A. Il. RY. PAssEN-
GERS. - On the first of next month u new
passenger tariff will 60 into effect on the
above mentioned railway, which is of great
importance to passengers. In case the pas
seDgers purchase tickets, the tariff will be
the same as at present, but if the fare is
''paid on the train ten cents additional vii
be charged, and for all distances over ten
. miles one half cent per mile additional will
be charged. This tariff has been fixed upon
by the company, principally for the purpose
of inducing passengers to purchase tickets
that the co duetors MAY not be hampered
in collecting fares and making change. The
large number of fares that is collected on
every train between Titusvile and Oil City
and the time occupied in making change
necessarily retard the progress of the trains
The new tariff will tend to obviate the ne
cessity OF making change; and, il all tn
passengers will purchase tickets, the run
ming time of the train between Titusvll
and Petroleum Centre can be made ten
fifteen minutes faster, and fifteen TO twent
faster between Titusv!le and Oil City. Th
saving that can be made in the running tim
is of consequence, and the new rate wi
give general satisfaction. Herald

Altar he had taken his seat in the omnibus

came to the door and asked il any passenger
hsd lost o pocket-book, whereupon Mr.. z.
discovered his loss and identified the same.
