The morning brought no relief, how
ever, as the storm had increased so that
nothing could be seen ahead. He orept
out of his snowy nest, but not daring to
leave, he crawled back again only to
shiver and suffer, as his clothes had been
wet, and were now frozen.
Mr.. Payne's pony stood sentinel within
two rods Of him whinnying, and he got
up and tried to lead her, but could not.
He followed the fence to a track which
led to a granary, stacks and stable. He
staid in the stable from about ten o'clock
a. m. until three p. m, thinking the own
ers would come to feed the stock there,
but fearing they would not he started to
find the house, which he supposed notfar
distant. He was lost once more, but as
he was about to burrow in a drift he
found the fence and from that the stable
again. During his absence the owners
had been there, fed the stock and fasten-
| ed the stable so he could not enter. He
found an empty shed covered with snow,
in which he stayed that night without his
| robe
Thursday morning the storm had so
| far cleared that he could see the house to
which the stables belonged, and which
was not ten rods distant. He had been
all around it the day before, and had lain
within twenty rods of another house the
night before. He was kindly cared for
until Monday, when he arrived at his
home in this city. One Of his ponies re-
manned until Thursday morning near the
sleigh, and the other was found net sixty
rods away, and both perfectly safe and
| sound.
Mr.. Payne thinks that he will lose half
his toes and part of his heels.-St. PAU

The Patent Office Reports.

WE owe our thanks to Judge Kelley for
the latest Patent Office report. We
already have sixteen hundred of these
interesting volumes in our little library,
but they have been read and and reread so
many times that we know every page of
them by heart. This new volume came
opportunely and gratefully on Christmas
morning, and that night we gathered our
little family around the fire, and read 1t
through to them. The affecting tale en-
titled Improvement in Monkey
wrenches seemed to touch every heart,
and when we came to the climax of the
little story about Reversible Pie boards" I"
there was not dry eye between the front
door and the stable. During the reading
of the piteous narrative entitled "Gum-
washers for Carriage-axles," the whole
family gave expression to boisterous emo
tion, and the hired girl was so much ex-
cited that she lost her presence of mind,
and went round to her mothers inadver-
dainty with six pounds of sugar and a
butter kettle full of -four, but came home
at midnight intoxicated We can never
sufficiently thank Judge Kelley for the
innocent enjoyment thus furnished us.
The memory of that happy evening will
linger in our minds very much longer
than that hired girl ever fingers when she

IL Is comforting deductlon from the
census that, while we may not build as
many churches in proportion as we once
did, they are every way more costly and
respectable looking edifces. The plain
brick Ebenezer seems giving way to a
more ornate structure. The number of
churches in 1870 is not yet double the
number in 1859, but the value of church
property now is four times greater than
it was twenty years ago.
Coming to the subject of avocations,
the census treats us to some rare imagin-
ings. Its dry figures body forth before
us 10, 1856, ,172 men and women, boys and
girls, working away for dear life at every
imaginable occupation the country
through. Two thirds of the population
of the United States are drones, accord
ing to the census, for whom the other
third tolls. How 1t tolls can only be
seen in its bewildering completeness in
the serried columns of the census report;
but here and there fact-sOmetimes pa

suggestive-appears even to the hasty
glance One half of the entire working
population is engaged in agricultural pur-

Across the Atlantic in a Balloon.

ACCORDING to the New York Sltn, an
aeronaut by the name of Donaldson is
now constructing a series of balloons with
which he purposes to cross the Atlantic
next summer, starting from Union Square
in this city. He claims that flying ma
chine is within the range of possibility,
and is not discouraged by the many fail.
ures in this field. His theory is plausible.
He remarks that when Fulton built the
steamboat to run in water he did not imi-
tate the action of the fish, and then he
expresses the opinion that to navigate the
air II is not necessary TO comply too close
ly with the movements of birds. The fly
ing bird represents aerial locomoIion in
its primitive state. The idea is to i'm
prove upon this, Just as the steam engine
is an improvement upon the power and
speed of the horse. Having had large
experience in ballooning, Mr.. Donaldson
is earnest in the belief that he can travel
from the setting sun at all times, ''for at
a certain height, say two and half miles,
there is constant current Of air blowing
toward the East" BY ascending to the
required altitude, he is confident that this
strong current will safely bear his ship
nom New York to the shores Of England.
He is also Of the opinion that, when on
the otner slue, ne VIII ma another cur
rent which will watt him homo again.
We may pronounce the attempt to cross
the ocean in balloon foolhardy, but let
us not forget that such 'foolhardy''
efforts heretofore have led to the most
important discoveries. Science requires
her sacrifices. If we never ventured out
OF the old grooves We would make no
progress. If we ever succeed in con.
atrnptinO nnaNhinaa xyhiah xuil1 aka
the air, 1t will be through that spirit OF
daring which animates the bosom of Mr.
Donaldson. II he attempts the proposed
feat and perishes in the undertaking, we
hope that his failure will not deter others
from making dangerous experiments in
the same direction. -Iarf, HeId ana

The Census-ReIigiOn and Occupation.

It has already been mentioned in COM
menting on the census that the six New
England States, with white population
of 3, ,445, ,043, have but 5,421 churches,
while the six Southern States upon the
Atlantic, with white population of g.
450, ,903, or virtually the same, have II, :
567 churches. But apart from this amaz-
ing revelation there are other items of in
teresting ecclesiastical information to be
gathered from the report. The pop
ulation of the thirty-sevsn States is
80, 115, ,641, and the total number of
churches for this multitude is 62, ,522,
with 21, 1906, 542 sittings, leaving 49,
720, 900 of our people apparently un-
provided for. The truth is, how
ever, that the population of ten years
of age and over amounts to 81, 800, 535,
which leaves but 6,503, 993 persons of
church age, so to speak, who could find
no accommodation, should every man,
woman and ten-year-old child in the
Union be simultaneously moved on a
bright Sunday morning to attend relig-
ious worship. Still that as many as
6, 500, ,993 persons, or about one sixth of our
entire population, have no church accom-
modation is a pregnant reflection for
divines. The aggregate value of the
church property is $349, 9,61s,7S0. In the
Territories and the District of Columbia
there are $50 churches, with 269, $40 sit
tings, and church property worth $4,-

Coming to particular denominations,
the disciples of Wesley and Whitefeld
tower, in point of numbers, above all;
the Baptists come next, the Presbyterians
next, then the Catholics, the Christians

the German Reformed, in the order
named. THE number of churches of these
and some other less prominent denomina'

Two Days Lost within Twenty Rods
OF a House.

IT was the misfortune of our fellow
citizen, Mr. e. E. Payne, to be on the
prairie about five miles south Of Kasson,
in Dodge County, last Tuesday afternoon,
when the storm came on. he was within
half mile of house, with the wind on
his back, and losing sight of the dwelling
he was governed by the wind, which,
without his knowledge or consent, turned
from southwest TO northwest, throwing
him entirely out of the way he desired to
go. He was soon lost in the blinG'ng
storm, and after wandering about for an
hour, he put up for the night by blanket
ing and turning loose his ponies, wrap
ping himself in buffalo robe, and sitting
down beside his open sleigh, which was
turned on its side. BY continually slap
ping his hands and kicking his feet he
managed to keep them from freezing.
He prayed, and sung and kept up his
courage, hoping to find a house In the
morning, as he was near q pair Of bars

The several rates of increase or de.
crease for the two decades are as follows:

It will be seen that none Of these de-
nominations, except the Mormon and
Unitarian, maintain in the last census de-
cade the rate of increase shown in the
one prior. The falling off in the case of
the Methodists, the leading denomination
in point of numbers in the country, is
particularly great, as notable, in fact, as
the portentious growth of Mormonism.
