shower in Danbury.
IDanDury News.l


If a fash of light could have
been shot over Danbury just as the
rain commenced to descend, Sunday
night, it would have revealed the
most astonishing sight ever wit
messed here. 1t is estimated that
500 bare legged men and boys, and
about 200 inadequately clothed
women, were at one time struggling
across wet stOops and through i'm
penetrable darkness with a most
astonishing variety of tubs, boilers,
pals, and barrels to catch the
rain water. Every thing that
could be employed for that purpose
was brought out, and as there had
been no rain in six weeks, and the
stoops were slippery, and there
was no time to lose, the natural
confusion of legs, language and
utensils was something remarkable.
One man on Franklin street, who
was dashing out doors with two
tubs and boiler, lost his foothold,
and, sliding across the stoop, went
on into an open hatchway, down a
stairway, and half way across his
cellar, the tubs and boilers arriv-
ing about the same time. It was
some twenty minutes before he
could converse. A deshy gentle
man, named Hayes, lost his balance
while on q chair to FIX the conduc-
tor, and fell into a tub that he
didn't know was there, and the
neighbers were obliged to carry
both himself and tub into the house
to get them apart-a job that was
considerably aggravated by the
promiscuOus profanity and abuse
which he Ievelsd at everybody
during the opereration. A boy
on Stevens street ran into a portico
post with such force As to render
him unconcious, and the moment
he came 70 he conceived the idea

The Unpaid CIergy oFEnsIand.

Those victims of genteel starva-
ton, the underpaid clergy Of Great
Britain, are beginning to attract
svmpathetie attention oflate. The
Marquis of Lorne champions the
cause of the impecunious clergy
men of the Church of England, and
argues that fund be raised large
enough to guarantee to each pastor
a salary of at least $1,000. The
establishment is probably the
wealthiest church In Christendom,
and it's high dignities have inn
mense incomes; but of the 1880
"livings" in England and Wales,
as many as 1885 do not have an
income of more than $500. Eng
lish Unitarian ministers also com
plain of being underpaId. 4 cor
respondent of the Christian Regis
ter writes: So far as we are advised,
there are not more than two or
three Unitarian pulpits now vacant
in England which it would be
worth the while for any American
preacher to accept who is not in
immediate danger of starvation, or
q man with sufficient private means
to render him quite Independent
of his salary. One wealthy society,
boasting an elegant church wortk
100000, pays its pastor $3.50. This
minister is of very fair attainments,
most gentIemanly address, and of
superior gifts in character. He has
been faithful at his post for more
than q dozen years. The men of
money, as wcH as the people who
have little money, know his fdeIi-
ty, his unworldliHess, his earnest
| devotion to duty. Yet they deem
this his Just compensation
= We know of . eongre-
CATION in London that pays its

While serf and aliens rule the land,

And truth is crushed to earth.
While those who once as saints appeared,
And still on sabbaths sing,
Seem now not God or man TO fear,
But join cursed ring
Remind them OF the old landmarks,
Or OF the patriots ways,

''We go for that which pays"
Gain now to them is godliness,
How horrid e'er the thought,
To those who honesty may bless,
AndneVe can be bought.

In open light of day,
Yet many whom it seems to reach,
In practice they obey.
The orpan's wall is heard In vain,
No schools for them are found,
Unless from sens Of Ham they came,
OR deemed on slavery sound.
Both State and County credit gone,
Where'er the RAIDS bear rule,
And he who strives to save but one,
Is pitied as a-fool.
This may offend all who are bought,
By rings or powers that be:
In vain shall honesty be sought,
Till such are made to fec
The wicked proud-who nothing know,
But dOte on words Of strife,
Which gender naught but human woe,
And sap the founts Of life.
The right nation doth exaIt,
Let men say what they may,
And sin people doth reproaeh,
Though for time it pay.
How then can two together walk,
Unless they both agree,
Or acts and words with malice frausht
Our land from troubles free?
Shall we in such u land remain,
To feed such hungry men;
Expose our offspring to such stains,
When better lands we ken?

Quite an. excitement prevailed at
Walnut Grove last Monday, caused
by the announcement that Greenbery
Buis had been hung -bya body Of
armed men the night previous. Prom
q getleman who was q member of the
jury we gather these particulars: The
deceased married daughter of Jas.
Rrinn, a respectable citizen Of this
county, with whom he lY5d fer some
timc. Last summer they moved to
Cass county, where Buis was arrest
ed for stealing horses, and sent to
the peniteniary. In the meantime
his wife's father had taken her to
his home again, and which she had
left against his desire, to marry the
unfortunate man. The Governor
pardoned Buis-and. by the way, he
does a good deal of that-Who return
ed to the vicinity of Walnut Grove,
in this county, where he had some
relatives. OF course his wife return
ed to him. Although ne had been
out of the penitentiary but about a
month, he and a brother-inlaW, Wood
by name, were accused OF stealing
sheep and selling them to tho butcher
of the city and Polk count. They
were arrested and Buis escaped, while
Wood was sent to hermitage Jail,
where he awaits the laws delay.
Buis was arrested last week IN Bar
ry and was being conveyed to Polk
county for trial He requested the
guards to allow him to remain one
night with his wife, and they accord
ingly stopped with her Sunday night
About 9 o'clock a body Of obout
twenty-five armed men rode up, took
the prisoner out and hung him to a
tree. The guards knew not the men,
and were powerless to prevent the
terrible deed The man hung with
in quarter of mile of his home
until the next evening at 4 o'clock,
when the inquest was held and the
body cut down.
1t is said that he had threatened
the lives of number OF men, and we
