The Small Pox.

A red flag is still displayed at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Emmons, where one case of
small poX and four of varioloid have al
ready been developed. The disease has
not made its appearance elsewhere in
town, and the Emmons family are all get
ting well rapidly.
Dr. Hill informs us that the pestilence
has made its appearance in Richland
Township, near the Marshall Co. line, in
the family of Chas. Holeman, Esq. MIR.
III. wore home from Rochester a pair of
gloves belonging to Mr. Emmons, shortly
after the latter's return from Chicago.
Mr.. Emmons now remembers where he
was infected. He had purchased shep-
herd dog in Chicago, and stepped into a
one horse hardware store in the suburbs
to buy a chain. He asked the Irish wo-
man who waited upon him where he
could get strap put on the chain, and her
reply was that there was a harness shop
opposite, but that the family had the small
poX. She further said that she was wait
ing on the sick Mr. E. had already pur-
chased the chain and received some
change He thinks that he thus CON
tracted the disease, but the circumstance
passed out of his mind and was not re-
membered until he had almost recovered
from the attack of varioloid with which he
was prostrated. We make this statement
as a matter of news, and not by authority,
but it shows that Mr.. E. was not in the
least to blame. His self-exposure was
not wanton, but misfortune to which all
visitors to large cities are liable.-ROch-

How to Break Down a Church.

To do this effectually you must,
l. Discourage the pastor,
II. Discourage your fellow members.
III. Destroy the confidence of the com
munity.
1. To discourage the pastor:
l. Absent yourself ftom one service
every Sabbath, or miss at least one in
three if he is not very strong once in
four times may answer.
, Neglect prayer and class meetings.
3. Criticize your minister freely-praise
him sparingly-find fault plentifully-
pray for him little or none.
f. If he proposes to hold extra meet
ings, let him conduct them without your
cooperation.
s. Give yourself no concern whether
his salary is paid or not.
6. Never call on him socially or allow,
him to think that his comfort or that of
his family, is matter of any importance
in your eyes.
II. To discourage your fellow mem
bers:
l. Observe the directions given above.
3 Complain about everything they do
and don't do.
g. Contrive to make yourself the head
of clique, and by their assistance and
your own industry keen the church in
hot water
t. While doing this, lose no opportu-
nifty to complain of the bad treatment
you are receiving.
D. Be as much like Diotrophes and as
little like Paul as you can.
g. Discard character and candor, take dis
trust to your bosom, and make scheming
your speciality.
Ill To destroy the confidence of the
community:
l. Observe the foregoing directions.
,. Tell the people tnat you are in the
church by force of circumstances but
have no respect for the way in which
business is conducted.
B. Publish the faults of your brethren,
taking care to magnify them.
i 4 Make no effort to induce people to
attend the church.
s. Take no part in the labors of the
Sunday School.
g. Publish it ON all occasions that you
have no confidence in the concern-pre-
dict that it must fail-go down-blow
lGp-and never Gan succeed.
By observing these directions faithfully
you may have the satisfaction, if the
church is not unusually vigorous, OF wit
Messing the tultilment of your predictions

The Laporte Herald republishes an ar
ticle nearly column long, copied from
the Chicago Tribune, which commences
with an untruth and is mostly made up
Of the same kind of material The open
ing sentence is as follows; Senator
Morton, of Indiana, came into the Re
publican party at a late day, and was an
andy Johnsonite down to about the
period when that worthy went swinging
around the circle"
Any one ut all conversant with the polit
ical history of this state ought to know that
Senator Morton was "a Republican at the
earliest period of the party's existence,
and was an an-tislavery man before the
Republican party was organized, and yet
the Tribune says that Mr. Trumbull "vo-
ted and acted with the anti-slavery men
two years before the Republican party
was organized, and had grown grey in
the service before Mr.. Morton's banner
was seen in that holy cause We very
distincly remember that the Tribune was
quite as severe in its denunciations
against Senator TTUMBULL, for the
course he took in defence of Andy John.
son, as it was against Senator Henderson
of Missouri.
We were not at all surprised to see
such an article as the one referred to in
the Tribune, but we had certainly ex-
pected better things of the Herald than to
see it re-published in that paper, without
comment.

The Plymouth Republican of last week
contained an item to the effect that How
ard NJ Brooke had sent his mother a
check for $4,000, that being the third
check for like amount that she has re-
ceived from him during the past year.
We have known Howard from his child
hood up, and he has always had that
same self-sacrificing and devoted love for
his mother, insomuch that he has denied
himself fine clothes and pleasuregoing
that he might contribute to her happi-
ness. There are few boys like How ard
l-ROchester Sentinel
Boys, here is an example worthy OF
imitation. We are also acquainted with
Howard, and take pleasure in testifying
to his excellent qualities of head and
heart The boy who is good to his
mother will always make good hus'
band.-B0urbon Mirror

The Winamac Democrat and the Stark
County Ledger endorse the honesty of
the Democratic State printer, BRIGHT,
after he has honestly returned to the State
abstracted book-paper to the amount Of
over $S000-on compulsion. This is
worse than the endorsement the Re
publican central committee gave Conner
when he returned from the chairmanship
of the committee and that was bad
enough.
If the Tammany thieves escape the
penitentiary and divide literally, they
may stir up the sympathy of Democratic
leaders for the persecution they have been
subjected to.
