Frightened to Death.
A DevOut Catholic Sues a Bishop,
and is ExcOmmunicated - He
Dies from a Nervous Shock.

The Detroit Union tells the
sad story Of Mr.. Patrick Bun
bury, of Kalamazoo, who died
recently from fright, superin-
duced by accommodation from
the church: Mr.. Bunbury, it
appears, lent $4,000 to Father
Lebel, to build a Catholic church
in Kalamazoo. He mortgaged
his farm to secure the money,
and was assured he should suf-
fer no pecuniary loss. The mon
ey was loaned in 1869, and it is
claimed was done with the full
approval of Bishop Lefevere,
who subsequently died. His
successor was also made ac-
quainted with the facts, and rat
ified the arrangement. Father
Lebel suddenly died afterwards,
and it was then ascertained, it is
alleged, that he had used some
Of the money for other than
church purposes. The Bishop
and the parish refused to return
it, and Mr.. Bunbury fearing a
foreclosure on his mortgage,
brought suit for the money.
He was Immediately excommu-
nicated and the ban was not re-
moved until he withdrew the
suit. The nervous shock sus-
tanned in the affair brought on
sickness, from which Mr.. Bun
bury died.
The affair has created intense
excitement in Michigan, and
Senator Emerson has introduced
in the Legislature a bill punish
ing by a fine Of one to five thou
sand dollars, or Imprisonment
from one to five years any Bish-
op or priest who shall excom-
municate or threaten to excom-
municate any member, to pre-
vent him from commencing any
suit or collecting any claim.

E.erything went smooth until the

letters of fire was, ''dOn't give up

The young man Foster who
was hung in New York, was a
victim of strong drink. He
was raised well and educated;
but when he began to mingle in
society he was gradually led in
to the habit of indulging in
strong drink, which was the be-
ginning of the bad end to which
he finally came. He was a fair
sample and specimen of the
"free use of liquor" doctrine
A correspondent Of the New
York Observer says:
"When this boy began to
drink intoxicating liquors with
his companions is not known.
But when he became so reduced
in his circumstances as to take
a situation as a conductor on a
street car, he had formed such
bad habits that he did not hold
it long. He was out of busi-
ness, even as car conductor,
when riding in one of the cars,
and infamed with rum, he in
suited women, and murdered
their innocent protector. l need
not recite the facts so often re-
peated; how he was rebuked for
his insult; how he brOoded o.
yer the rehuke, muttered ven-
geance, selected a fitting weap-
on, with the use of which he
was familiar, and smote his un-
suspecting victim in the dark,
on the head, and slew him."

An "Englishman" in the Lon.
don Daily Telegraph relates the
following pleasing little story of
the late Emperor Napoleon: Dur.
ing the winter of 1869, the En-.
peror happened to enter a chop in
the Rue de la Paix, with a view of
purchasing some etre'aneS for his
friends upon the approach of
jour de lap. In the shop was a
lady accompanied by her little boy,
who was eagerly cycling BICYCLE
which he importuned his mother
to buy. 81 cannot afford ii, nay
son" said the lady, after asking
the price; "nOw let us GO home. !"
The Emperor meanwhile, had
seated himself on a chair, and f9-
ger on lip, had motioned to the
shop-keeper not to betray him.
When the disappointed child and
his mother had LEFT the shop the
Emperor enquired, Der name and
address (Which was the bicycle
upon which the little fellow had
set his hearI?" 1t was promptly
indicated and-"Send that to him
at once with the EmpeCOr's kind
est wishes" were the gentle words
which, upon that night, sent at
least one child in Paris happily to
sleep.

A man in Columbus, reading
that a raw egg would clear your
throat OF fish bones, got fish bone
in his throat on purpose the other
day, just to try the experiment,
and-well, he has run the price of
eggs up to a dollar and half a
dozen in Columbus, and the fish
bone is there yet. 1t is thought

Sowing and Reaping.


Sowing aud Reaping.
Are we sowing seeds of kindness?
They shall blossom bright ere long;
Are we sowing seeds of discord?
They shall ripen into wrong;
Are we sowing seeds of honor?
They shall bring forth golden grain;
Are we sowing seeds of falsehood?
We shall yet reap bitter pain;
Whatsoever our sowing be,
Reaping, We its fruits must see.
We can never be too careful,
What the seed our hands shall SOW;
Love from love is sure to ripen,
Hate from hate is sure to grow.
Seeds of good or i'll we scatter
Heedlessly along our way;
But glad or gricvous fruitAge
Waits us at the harvest day.
Whatsoe'er our sowing be,
Reaping, we its fruits must see.

The Farmers Secret
Political Society.

Political Society.
There is a secret political society
of farmers, which has already at
tanned formidable dimensions in
all the western States. 1t is
spreading rapidly in Ohio. Its
object is to benefit the agricultu-
raj population, and to see why its
industry is not remunerative in
proportion to other classes. A
we'll known farmer in the State of
Ohio, at a meeting of agricultu.
rists, held up one hundred dollar
bill, aud offered it to any one who
would come forward and swear that
for the last two years. in South
ern Ohio, he had been able TO make
both ends meet. Not a single man
availed himself of theopportunity
The troubles under which the
Western and Southern agricultu
rists labor are, to great extent
the effects of legislation, which by
a little investigation that they pro
pose to set on foot, they are bound
to discover. In the first plece, why
should money invested in farms be
taxed, and at the same time mon
ey invested in United States bonds
be exempt from it? In the next
place, while none of the farmers
products, such as wheat, corn, pota-
toes, &c, are protected by any
tariff, why should he be compelled
to pay double and treble prices for
his hoes, plows, azes, reapers and
all other agricultural implements,
in order to benefit the iron and
steel interest of Pennsylvania?
Thirdly, why should he be obliged
to pay Massachusetts cotton and
wooden manufacturers a far great
er price than he could obtain 9TH
er and far better articles in Europe
for? Fourthly, why should the salt
which he puts upon his beef, his
pork and butter he taxed over 100
per cent, while the New England
fisherman gets his free OF duty?
Fifth, why should the Govern
ment, by paying an exorbitaht in,
terest on bonds, when a large por-
tion OF its indebtednss could be ta-
ken by the people without interest,
oblige the farmer to borrow it at
the same rate, or go without ac-
cJmmodations of that character?
Why should the salaries of public
officers be largely increased, when
it is so difficult for the farmer to
make his expenditures and his re-
ceipts balance one another? Why
should the local freights on rail
roads, or farmers products, be of
such an exorbitant nature, and
thus deprive the agriculturist from
availing himself OF the prices in
different markets remote from his
residence? Why should there be
so much stealing, corruption and
in all branches of legisla-
tion, at the expense of the farmer?
These are few of the questions
that will come up before the agri-
culturists in body, where they
will see them without being biased
by partisan prejudice and associa-
ton.
The agricultural interest is the
great source of all our wealth.
Two thirds of all the people of the
United States are engaged in it.
Upon its prosperity depends that
of all other classes.

less than 26 feet wide; 4S feet
in streets from 26 to 81 feet in

Sharp Words from a
Religious Journal.

The following lively remarks
from the New York Observer,
show that at least one religious
journal is fully awake to the sit
uation:
"The time has gone by for dull
preachers. The activities of the
age, the diffusion of knowledge by
schools, books and periodicals, the
spirit OF inquiry, the spread of in
fidelity, the prevalence OF doubt,
the subtlety of false science, de-
mand live, s rong, earnest men to
preach the gospel. 1t will not an
swer to educate dullness or medi-
Ocrity. 1t was forbidden that a
son of Aaron should be a priest ii
he had any blemish. Even a fiat
nose excluded him. And the age
wants no half.baked ministers.
The West will not hear them.
The East cannot bear them. The
heathen know too much to take
them. They are not wanted on
this earth. To get u:oney to edu
cate dull boys because they are
pious is robbing God and a fraud
upon the Church 1t is a crime
or a blunder, and sometimes BOTH"
