THE GAZETTE.
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY II.

Two LUCKY PREACHERS: The Pittsburg
Dispatch says: In Pittsburg there dweiis
wealthy lady and religious, who takes lively
interest in all work started under good auspices.
She had observed among the clergymen OF the
city one who labored zealously, and whose SAB
bath sermons delighted her. Having a6un-
dance of money, she conceived the happy idea
of surprising the clergyman, shortly after the
new year opened, with present OF $5OO 10
gold, and procuring the same, the good lady
sent it to the clergyman's house. The mes
senger, however, misunderstood the name, tax

clergyman of different denomination, IN Al
legheny. 1hither the gold-carrler repaired,
and left the parcel containing the money, with
a verbal statement of. the compliments OF the
donor. The recipient was somewhat astonish-

letter reached its destination the lady had
learned of her servants mistake, and sent him
back to Allegheny for the present, with direc-

thanks from the clergyman to whom the mes
senger brought the present by mistake. 1t was

gether such an admirable epistle, that the re-
cipient, with most excellent appreciation Of the
situation, procured at once $500 more in bull

If possible, the second was more cheertuliy
made than the first; so, after what had passed.
there was no way Of getting but of the accept
