A conasncea biography Of RIel


Louis Hicl, or Rielle, who appears
to bc the master spirit among the
Winnipeggers, was year or two
ago q resident of st. Paul, and a
clerk in a grocery store. He is II
young man, about twenty-four years
of age, was born at Red Rixer, of
poor but respectable parents, and is
of pure French origin. Thirteen
years ago his education was placed
under the care of Bishop, who
sent him to the best classical college
in Montreal. He went to Minneso-
ia about three years ago, and re-
NAMED alternately i'll st. Paul and
st. Anthony during two years. He
got situations as clerk in grocery
stores. but Of course was disappoint-
ed. Commerce was not his favorite
branch, but yet he would have prac-
ticed it if he could have got any
hope to raise in a short time money
enough to allow him to study as a
lawyer. His disappointment caused
his return to Red River, where he
thought he could sooner get the
means of following his desire. Cir
cumstances, however, have diverted
him from law to lawlessness, as his
murderous execution Of Scott indi-
Gates; yet, il we may believe the
Toronto Globe, Riel may prove a
formidable leader of the Red River
insurgents.

I the card Of AR. John ZOllers, of FaIlsbur,
township, this county, warming persons agains
purchasing notes made by him In favor Of
50 called Metallic Roofing Company of Clevs

1t appears that Mr. ZoIlers was induced b,
Agents Of this Company, to enter into az
egreement, whereby he was to be made sole
agent for Fallsbury township, Licking coun-
ty, and Pike township, Coshocton county, fol
this company, IN consideration of his making
two notes in their favor of $3.50 each, amoun-
ting to 5000
Ar. ZolleTE is satisfied the concern is a
swindle, and takes this method Of warning the
public against purchasing his said notes.
II was only last week that we published a
similar card from our honest old friend Gideon
Wiokham; who had been in like manner in
duced 10 invest in a so called Improved Sulky
Rake by firm in Columbus that proved TO be
a myth.
Our farmers can not be too careful in guard

are told, but it hns been GScertsinod that it
costs more for each one than a whole cast iron

Tbs following curious dog story is vouchsd
for By paper in Montrel:
"a gentleman owns dog that has some IT.
tnarknble instincts. On week days he has all
the passions and propensities Of other dogs,
but on the Sabbath psculiarities and sectarian
sentiments come out. He knows when this
day comes. He is not the doga on other days
He indulges in no psstimes, encourages no
company, and seems to say in actions louder
than words: Six days may we play and do
all our sports The family are Presbyterains;
the dog is Methodist. On Sunday he at
tends the family TO the Presbyterian church,
and then holds0n his solitary "and unbroken
way until he comes to his own chnrch, which
Is little further on. He has a peculiar place
up-stairswhare he sits. No belle or madam of
fashion, who sweeps up the aisle of a popular
church, and finds plebian III Ter pew, can
give more decided expression Of displessure
than this dog if he finds any one in his sea-,
He seems TO attend to tho services, and to give
dogmatical heed to the words spoken. An
example to many protesting Christians, no
may be seen making his way TO church in
foul weather as in fair; not halliday hearer
other, while his denominational preferences
are az well-lnown as are those Of any other in
the city"

Tas contract for the building Of the Toledo
and Woodvills Road. was concluded on the
10th, between tho Toledo Railroad Trustees
and Mr. J. E. Conant Of New York. And on
the 2lst, Mr.. Conant entered into contract
with the Toledo, Tifin and Columbus Rail-
rad Company, to bald road from Woovillo
to Lexington, via Of Tifin. Ttis now rendered
certain that q road win be built southwest Of
us, crossing the L. F. & L. n. r., at or near
Kansas Station. and that our citizens should
lose no time in countoracting the effect, such
road might have in diverting trade from this
locality HuTyon the manufacturing branch
es, and strive to attract the Pittsburg & To
ledo Road TO this point
There sre invested in manufactures in Min
neapolis s2,4O5,75s, and 1920 men are en-
ployed. The total product Of the factories in
1858 was valued at s5,72S,OOs At ST. An
thony there are 1919 invested, which pro-
duOed in 1869 Sl,23s, ,76o, employing 5gS hands.
For the amount Of money employed in manu-
faetures, we believe our city viii exceed the
proportion of either Of the above, in the num-
Der Of men employed But we have not as
much capital employed in that way as we
should have, If we desire our city to prosper
as it ought. Every $1,000 embarked in manu-
hctures adds to or population from one 10
four persons, and secures 70 our business in
terestsa an additional trade of nom s29O to $780,
Besides articles are maae which bring money
into tho county instead ol taking it out.
Give US manufactures.
The Holmes County Farmer says thnt there
is a white duck in that section that lays black
eggs, and accounts for II on the ground OF the
Fifteenth Amendment. And the Washing
ton Herald tells of a negro in that town who
can move his heart from one side to the other,
and transfer his ribs to his abdomen. It is
impossible also to choke him, for be goes on
talking with the strongest grip on his neck.
The way to hang him, we suppose, would be
to jerk his head of. he has brother six feet
high who can reduce his stature to three feet
at will All ofwhioh has happened since the
promulgntion Of the Fifteenth Amendment.
The most remarkable effect however, which
has yet been noted is that the Democratic
young lady, Of Dayton, who several years ago
rode at the head Of procession in wagon,
under banner bearing this strange device

husbands" has been the first to avail herself
of the advantages Of tbeaforesaid amendment

The social Element in Churches

The Social Element in Churches.
The Methodists insist on the i'm
portance Of recognizing and proyid-
ing for the social clement in religi-
Gus organization. 1t thinks it helps
the spiritual. 1t contrasts churches
that are sociablc with those that are
not, and finds the former far more
efficient:
Some Of our churches, We are glad
to notice, are now built with church
psrlors," phrase which need not
convey the idea of stiffness. and or
namentation, for these parlors are
meant to be used, and if used Alright
may be made Of great service to the
church. Here the ladies may meet
to sew for the poor; here the church
"sociable,'' may be held, where
young and old, rich and poor, may
meet together and cultivate Chris
tian friendship. We have known
churches where members have nev-
er become acquainted with each
other, though engaging in the same
religious services every Sunday for
years. They enter by different
doors, sit on opposite sides ofa large
building, and do not recognize each
other when passing in the streets.
ANY church ought to be ashamed of
such q state Of affairs as this, and
ought to welcome any plan which
produces a healthy change. A
church parlor. where all can meet
and get acquainted, would obviate
the difficulty,
