The good people of Cambridge have
held an enthusiastic meeiin@ TO raise "'d
for the grasshopper sufferers in Kansas
and Nebraska, 1t was decided that the
articles most needed for the sufferers were
corn, -four, meat meal, dried and canned
fruit, butter, lard, groceries, clothing,
blankets. ETC. Every one present seemed
to be awake and in favor of taking hold OF
the matter in earnest.
j. B. Hagin offered to receive, shell and
load all the corn, free Of charge, which Of
fer was accepted.
An address was issued to the people
which closes as follows:
Those who are willing to give corn will
deliver 1t at Hagin & Gould's Office, and

peuses Of the institution have been kept
within the appropriation during the last
year aud that he will be able to report a
handsome surplus.
He left last evening for Normal, taking
with him four children of Widow Proctor,

The New Presbyterian Church Roof.

Ifany people have doubts of the strength
and safety of the new roof now being
placed over the Presbyterian church they
should 60 and look at it now, while they
can see how the work is being done. The
great strength of the structure and the
very strong and substantial way in which
it is anchored down iato the walls will con,
vince them that if that roof shall ever be
taken up by 4 tornado it will carry a good
part of the church with it. The old roof
was only laid upon the top of the rickety
walls, with nothing but its own weight to
hold it there. In the new plan the wall.
are a good deal lower and the roof not only
a model of strength but it is anchored
down 50 low in the walls that it cannot b,
moved without denolishing the entir,
building.
