A SAD CASE.
A WARNING AND A LESSON.

One week ago yesterday, gentleman
from Patoka, Illinois, q large stock dealer,
arrived in this city with his son, n young
man named James Gray. Young Gray was
healthy, stout and fine looking, aged about
twenty-five years. Mr. Gray the father,
brought several head Of stock down
on the Illinois Central railroad,
had it transferred to boats and
ready for shipment South. lie intended to
leave this city for the South OH that day in
company with his son. Unfortunately the
young man had fallen in with some bad
characters, had INDUCED too freely in in
toxicating liquors, and insisted on remaining
in Cairo, contrary to the wishes OF his UNI
happy father. The elder Mr. Gray was
compelled to leave, the younger
remaining in this city. Ills
dissipation continued till Saturday; he wan
dering about the city drinking poisonous
whiskey and subjecting himself TO cold and
exposures. On Sund..y his intoxication
took the form Of bodily slckness--the case
was reported TO Judge Bross-young Gray
was removed to the ST. Mary's iniirmary and
Tuesday he died, unconscious when the
messenger OF death summoned him to cross
the dark river. His descent to ruin and to
death was brief and terrible and points
moral which we need not elaborate upon.
In accordance with request OF the mother,
received by telegraph in this city, the body
was placed in a handsome burial case and
Yesterday was sent on its way to his so sud
denly and awfuly bereayed family.

The following in regard to the Ma
tional Grange are the words of its high
est officer Mr.. Saunders, its originator
and founder, and who thus far has not
by any designing men been removed
from the place he so deservedly occu-
pies, and may his shadow as "Worthy
Master" never grow less:
''PerInit me to allude briefly to some
of the more conspicuous duties of the
National Grange. l conceive that its
principal duties are to collect and dis
seminate information for the benefit of
the whole order-to place State gram
geS in cooperative communication
and advise subordinate oranges with
reference to matters of special interest.
Thus it acts simply as an agency. But
it should be something more than this;
being in communication with the whole
order, it is eminently placed in posi-
tion to judge as to the value of meas
ures calculated to be for the best inter-
estS of the whole, and thus it should
| he creative as well as administrative.
| Above all things it must avoid respon-
sibilities that legitimately belong eth
er to State or subordinate oranges. 1t
should endeavor to inculcate the prin-
ciples of actor. that are of general ap-
/ plication rather than enter into eXecu-
tive details, which must of necessity
vary according to local and special cir
cumStances.

Sleeninr in Church.

Those who have the privilege Of
''sitting under" long-winded preachers
should at least endeavor to acquire the
habit of sleeping with their eyes open,
if they find it quite impossible toresist
the temptation to slumber; foralthough
the sight of one or two sleepers during
lengthy sermon may be borne with
patience, yet the sight of whole con-
gregation dropping Off is a severe
trial to the temper of even the most
decided Christian. A painful scene,
according to the Edinburgh Courant,
occurred when d. d. and ex-MOdera-
tor of General Assembly of a Scottish
kirk, while preaching to devoted
flock, was shocked to see that, not one
by one, but in great numbers, his hear
ers were gradually passing beyond reach
of his persuasive tongue. AT last his
Highland blood cculd no longer bear it,
and singing ont the beadle, who had
been for some time giving nodding
assent to all that was being said er
cathedra, be determined to make an
example of him. He. accordingly
pansed IN his discourse, surveyed the
effect, and then, drawings a long breath
called out in voice of thunder to an
elder of the church to awaken up
Scott" The 'obedient elder at once
fulfilled the mission, and with success
equal to that which attended the awak-
ening of the Sleeping Beauty o. the
Wood" for the whole congregation
were startled from their slumbers, and
their attention, especially that of the
beadle, during the remainder of the
service left nothing to be desired.

ADVERTISING RATES

| WISDOM OF A WIT.-The lively edi-
tor of the Danbury News declines an
invitation to go to the metropolis.
where, as represented to him, he would
have larger audience and truer ap-
probation. Charles F. Browne, Morti-
mer Thompson, Bret Harte, ID. r.
Locke, and others did or have done
this; but Montgomery Bailey, the Dan
bury News humorist, is wise as well as
droll, and in a recent letter on this SUBJ
ject said:
I like this town, where 1 have lived
most OF my life, and the town likes
me. My small paper is only weekly;
put own it, and am content with the
little but satisfactory independence that
enjoy. know I've gotten a good
deal Of reputation lately; it won't be
any less if stay here; and if 1 60 to
New York, / am dreadfully afraid /
should soon be an old story, and dwin-
die down to an imperceptible point
Your big cities like fresh oranges, but
it very quickly sucks them dry, and
throws them away. / don't want to
be sucked dry right off; so think Ill
remain where am. I've seen from
my country home how clever fellows
turn out who go to New York with
grand expectations. They gave up
something, and in the end found moth
ing. l am glad you want to have me
come. and Pm gladder that 1 don't
want to come. Danbury, Insignificant
village as it is, is good enough for me;
and as l don't want to steal anything,
or get murdered, or get up a reputa-
ton for genius, / respectfully but firmly
decline to pitch my tent in Gotham.
