New Holland Items.

MR. EDIToR:-It might interest some Of
your readers to hear word from over the
border.
The principal item of interest here dur
ing the past week was the Ministerial As
sociation at the Christian Church, which
commenced on the 5th, and closed on 7th
of May The programme was carried out
with one or two slight changes. The ex-
ercises were very satisfactory to the pub
lie, who gave COED audience throughout
the meeting. The Sunday School Insti-
tute and Children's Meeting were decid-
ed success. Our little folks enjoyed it
very much, and altogether it was time of
good cheer, and will doubtless be remem-
bered as bright oasis in the desert of life.
Those who failed to attend the meetings
have sustained loss which they cannot
well afford.
The Temperance Movement here re-
mains much as it was. Both parties seem
to be determined never to yield. The
traffic is held in obeyance by the watching
and praying women, and all except the
friends of the institution think its entire
| destruction is only question Of time. 1t
is certain that the suits pending against Mr..
Barry, will if sustained take the last dollar
from him. It is strange that any man will
throw himself in the way of an invincible
public sentiment, only to be crushed; yet
such seems to be the case with those two
| saloonists who still hold out.
The Temp erance Meetings here are rath-
er on the increase the Mass Meeting at the
Christian Church, Sunday evening, was
one of the largest of the campaign. The
daily afternoon meetings are kept up at the
| Tabernacle by the ladies.
The beautiful weather of the last few
days has caused rush among the farmers.
! 1t is now time to work, and right we'll are
| they improving the time.
Yours truly,
LEANDER.

Marvellous Effect.

MIR. IL R. STEVENS: Dear sir-I have used
the great Blood Remedy, Vegetine and feel it q
duty to acknowledge the great benefit it has
done me. In the Spring of the year 1862 1 was
sick from general debility caused by OyerwOrk,
want of sleep and proper rest. 1 was very weak
and much emaciated. 1 tried many remedies
without receiving any benefit from any of them,
until was persuaded to try Vegetine. Before
had taken this one week, my improved condi-
tion gave me renewed hope and courage. con-
until Twas completely restored to health. The
effect Of this remedy, in case of general debility
is indeed marvellous.

AN IGE HOUSE FOR FIVE Doll
LARs.--A neighbor Of mine, says
correspondent, has an enclosure
about six ieetsquare in the clear and
six feet high. The walls are Formed
ofoldreiuse timbers thrown carelessly
together, with no regard to form or
comliness, The roof ismade OF hem
lock boards. The entire cost of this
building did not exceed five dollars;
and, practically considered, it is a
success not ambitious Of containing
thirty-fye loads of ice, but simply
five loads. Ten years this little un.
pretentious house has been used for
ice, and never yet dlshonored a draft
upon its crystal deposit. About six
inches Of sawdust was spread upon
the ground floor, and in packing a
space OF about nine inches was left
between the ice and the walls of the
building for sawdust and about nine
inches Of sawdust was spread upon
the top Of the ice, and the thing was
fixed. The three main principles
observed here will always insure a
supply Of ice, viz: good ventilation,
good drainage and plenty of sawdust.
With these rules adhered to, corner
Of any old pen-shed will prove quite
efficient in preserving ice.

Two years ago the James brothers,
the same two desperadoes who sacked
the express car, and event through,
the passengers on the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific, and at Gad's Hill
stole the money box at the Kansas
State Fair. They rode into Kansas,
on horseback, and when the cashier
was walking to the bank with the
receipts of the day-about $4,000,
they pointed their pistols at his head,
seized the box and galloped off This
was done in broad daylight, in the
midst Of a great crowd. Well, some
Tina afterwards one of the Kansas
City reporters wrote an article about
these highwaymen, saying some kind
things. He called them brave, and
said they had done the most daring
deed in the highwayman's record. A
few nightsafterwards the James broth
ers rode into Kansas City, went to the
newspaper Office, and called the
reporter out, presented him hand
some watch and chain. They said
the article in question touched them
in tender spot, and they desired to
show gratitude.
"But / don't feel at liberty to take
the watch" said the reporter.
"But do it to crafty us, We did
not steal this watch; we bought it
and paid for it with our own money"
continued the desperadoes.
