Tho "WELLAlAN CRATE" Is essentially dill.
ercnt from any other Crate, and pOsScsseB merits
so far superior that comparison 70 useless
We claim forit the following advantages over
any other CRATE: "a.
First-As a radiator Of heat, 1t has double the
intensity, s
Secoud-It ls unqucstIonAbly the most clcanly,
no SCOT or ashes escaping into the room, which
In tho ordinary crate proves 30 detrimental to
Carpets and Furniture.
Third-The combination 10 perfect. There IL
no waste In unburnt clnderB; every ounce OF the
itiel Is 90 completely consumed that nothing re.
mains but the finest ashes.
Fourth-Aa an economlGor Of fuel there being
an actual saving Of at least % per cent.
Fifth-It IL highly ornamental
Slxth-It Is set so deep in the chimney that II
Is much safer, and less liable to pun In windy
weather.
SeyCnth-A slight motion OF tho Agltator
cleansCs tho entire hrC, and causes II 10 burn

For the past three years this excel
lent minister has had charge of Trim
ty VI. Il. Church in this city, and to-
morrow will close his official term as
Pastor. The law of the church,
which will not permit any preacher
Co remain at any one station for more
than three consecutive years, necessi-
tates his transfer to another field of
labor, greatly to the regret Of the
members of Trinity Church, as well
as Christians of all denominations,
who have become very much attached
to him during his residence in the
city. AS a preacher, DR.. Andrus has
always attracted large congregations,
with whom his earnest manner, dignity
of utterance, as we'll as clearness of
thought, have proven very attractive,
as well as instructive. AS pastor,
he has been faithful and Industrious,
and has always been warmly well
coined to the homes aud hearts of his
members, even the smaller children
ever recognizing him with the smile
and familiarity that demonstrated how
successful he had been in winning
their young hearts. AS a Christian
gentleman, his department has ever
been unexceptionable. and in
variably impressed all with whom
he came in contact most favorably.
Even tempered, kind hearted, thor
oughly imbued with the spirit of his
Master, and enthusiastic in his great
work of preaching the Gospel, he is an
accession of which any Church and
community may feel proud. He
leaves cur city followed by the hearty
good wishes of his Church, who would
gladly retain him if they could,-as
well as prayers for his success in
whatever field he may be called to

A correspondent furnishes US the
following items from this neigbbor-
hood:
THoUGH the wheat crop is so large.
the average yield will scarcely exceed
ten bushels per acre throughout the
country. However, the grain is of ex-
cellent quality, and in many places
extra. As a general thing the wheat
has all been tbreshed, there having
been several good machines in opera
ton in the country. New wheat sells
at 81 90 for weighed bushels.
Corn suffered from drought very
little in this vicinity, and consequent
ly the crop will be enormous. Farm
ers predict that the price will be %
cents delivered at the field.
SWEET POTATOES are largely raised,
and promise large yield although
planted rather late and hindered BY
the bugs. None have been brought
to market yet.
BEEF cattle, sheep and hogs are In
great demand, aud bring a fair price.
Cattle raising is very profitable here,
but the people seem to care little for
it. We have, as PROT" Hill says,
plenty of everything for the cultiva-
ton of cattle, but the cultivators."
THE many friends of Hon. N. R.
Black will sympathize with him In the
loss of his wife, who died August 13.
She leaves a husband and four chill
dren.
A PAIR of Zahu & Rankin's stand
ard scales are being erected on Col
lege Street, Marion, for weighing
stock. grain, hay, etc. Cost, 5000.
THE Court House is being torn
down, or rather the crumbling walls.

Crown Svo, pp. 48i. A Canoe Cruise In
Palestine and Egypt. and the waters OF
with Maps and Illustrations. New
York: HARPER & BROTHERS. CIncIn-
natl; ROBERT CLARKE & Co.
We know Of no better notice to
give Of this valuable book than to
copy, aud appropriate as our own the
following from a religious exchange
Most of our readers have heard of the
unique voyages of the Rob Roy" a
little boat or canoe, constructed so as
TO furnish the best accommodations
in the smallest space and the least
possible weight. It was designed for
minute explorations in shallow wa
ters. unfrequented streams. &c. The
builder aud owner, Mr.. MacGregor,
an Englishmen, had made three sue
cessful voyages with his canoe, in
Central Europe, in the Baltic, and in
the English Channel. We now find
him in voyage number four, cruising
in the waters of Palestine and Bible
lands; and in Ineligible, graphic
style giving to the world the results
of his explorations, as recorded
in his journal. The trip on the Jor-
dan, from its sources to its
mouth is especially full of interest
and value to the Christian reader.
The work will supplement our knowl-
edge of the lands visited in many i'm
portant particular, and will convey
az idea of the waters of Palestine with
more minute distinetness than any
previously published. It abounds 10
valuable scientific information, and is
enriched with maps and numerous
fine illustrations. The authors style
is familiar aud pleasing. His book
will have a permanent place among
the list of works on sacred travel
We would commend it to the atten
ton of all Sabbath School workers
who are interested in the study oil
Bible Geography.

Conference G0ssIp.

The Indiana Conference convenes
this week at Bloomington, Bishop
Silnpson presiding. AS usual, on
such occasions, much interest is mani
tested by the members Of the various
churches in the jurisdiction of the
Conference as to the ministerial
changes that will probably take place,
We find in the Indianapolis Journal
the following gossip on this point;
Rev. w Mex. Hester, formerly
pastor of the Meridian Street congre-
cation, and now in charge OF Wesley
chapel, New Albany, is spoken Of a:
Presiding Elder of this district. In
speaking of him the Ledger says:
There Is not a more able minister In
tue Conference, or one whose sermons
rank higher among those well versed IN
theology. he IS jealous, ferVent and elo-
Quent, and will honor any church whose
pulpit he may hecalled to I'LL. His accom-.
piished wife is equally jealous and eff
Gent as a worker In the cause OF the Re-
d8emer."
Meridian Street Church, of this
city, has asked for transfer, but II
she does not get it, she will ask for
Or. Andrus, of Evansville. as he1
next choice. Rev. B. f. Rawlins il
also spoken of for the pastorate O
that charge.
Rev. s. III. ClippeDger, brother o
the late DR.. Clippenger, of this city
has been asked for by the church a
Bloomington for the second year.
It is said that Ingle Street Church
Evansville, has unanimously asked
tor the return of Rev. James Hill
formerly of this city, for the seconC
year. Rev. Mr.. Hill, we are informe'
holds a transfer to the Rock Rive
Conference, Illinois, but it is no
known that he will sever his relation
With the Indiana Conference.
We could add largely to these ru
mors, but canaot think that any goot
will be accomplished by SO doing. I
Is the understanding with the church
that the Bishop and Cabinet, consist
ing Of the various Presiding Elders
having the responsibility of makina
the appointments. and nothing can be
accomplished by attempting to fore
stall their action.
