wheat degrades even larger quantity Of

should clean their wheat thoroughly, and

the Holy Ghost, and that what they said
was thus saith the Lord : but that was
only cunning deception in order to
make men the more readily believe it,"

An Affecting Story.

From a st. Louis paper of the 18th
inst, we take the following and story:
Captain S. Main, conductor on the
Council Bluffs and st. Louis Pullman
Car Line, furnishes some particulars at
tending the death of Il Mrs McClurg, on
the sleeping car of the Union Pacific
Railroad, while on her way from CaliIor-
MIA, with two small children, to join her
parents in St. Louis. The poor woman
lost her husband in California some time
ago, and being i'll with consumption she
became disprited and longed to return
to St. Louis. Her desire was to see her
parents, named Collins, residing on Emily
street. She started, with two small chill
dren, a boy and girl, aged respectively
1 and years.
At or near Sacramento she was robbed
of all her money by man, who she be-
lievel was connected with the railroad,
who demanded SIP from her on pre-
tense Of paying for her baggage In her
feeble and bewildered state she handed
the man her wallet The wretch disap-
peared and was never seen by the invalid
again. She was robbed in this way of
about $1,000 in gold and greenbacks.
She fingered gradually sinking lower
and lower, until the train, on it's long and
tedious route, had reached Papio Station
this side of Salt Lake. Here she called
her children and some of the passengers
to her side; and told them she was about
to die She asked some one to pray fol
her, but there was no one present who
volunteered, although, as stated by the
conductor, there was not a dry eye among
the passengers,
Death ended the poor woman's misere
and her body, with the orphan children
who could hardly have realizing sens
of their loss, were brought on to Omaha
Here military officer took an interest il
, the matter, and the body was put il
charge of an undertaken, with direction
, to have placed in a coffin and sent to 81
Louis. The children were taken i
charge by Captain Main, and brougl
to St Louis, having received almost pal
entail attentions from two families, VIII
