The Editor of the Oakville E,aterprise
reads us a lecture, because he sees fit to
think we complain of Gen'l Sherman, for
promising not to interfere with his wife's
religion. AS we made no complaint about
that portion of his promise, the lecture is
uncalled for. No person ought to object
to that part Of the promise the priest de-
manded of him; but to ask man who
claims to be protestant to promise to
bring up his children as catholics, or re-
fuse to perform the marriage ceremony for
him, is piece of impudence that any man
ought to resent. We think every person
should have right to enjoy such religion
as satisfies their own conscience, and we
also think that man should be granted
the privilege of raising his children to such
a religious belief as he thinks best, with
out consulting the wishes of the parson who
is to perform the marriage ceremony for
him, or without being bound by promises
to him. We therefore see no reason to
change the opinion we expressed last week.

A boy locked up in a Church.

A Baltimore paper says /: About 12
O'Clock on Sunday night week several
gentlemen who were passing along Broad
way, near Pratt street, had their attention
attracted to what appeared to be the cries
of distress proceeding from the Broadway
Baptist church. They investigated further
and finally became convinced that a child
had been locked up in the building.
The door bells of the dwellings in the
neighborhood were rung, and the occu-
pants called up, but none of them could
tell where the key of the church was kept.
The screams of the thoroughly frightened
youngster had by that time became really
alarming, and it was finally determined to
force one of the windows. After some eff
fort window was opened partly, and
through very small aperture the involun-
tary prisoner was drawn.
lie proved to be little boy about eight
years of age, who had fallen asleep during
the service, and, being unnoticed by the
sexton, was locked up when the church
was closed. After reaching the street, he
did not wait TO make explanations, but
started off home as fast as he could run.

Starvation in Nebraska.

Information received from southwestern
Nebraska shows that thousands of people
are in starving condition. One informant
saw many who for weeks had nothing to
eat but baked squash and pumpkin and
salt and others who had lived on baked
flour and water-one meal a day-for
weeks. Ten thousand people in that state
will need aid sufficient to keep them from
starvation and cold during the winter
Hundreds of people are naked and on the
verge of starvation and without means to
leave the state. Snow fell at Laramie and
Cheyenne last week.

Would Water his MIX.

Some time ago cheese factory was es-
tablished at La Motto, jackson county,
which made market for all the spare
milk of the neighborhood. Soon after the
factory got in running order, the proprietor
was astonished to find that his quality of
cheese was not what It should be- He
tried every expedient known to the man
ufacturers of cheese to better the quality,
but in vain. The cheese would not come
up to the standard he had set to bring it
to.
At last a suspicion crossed his mind
Something must be the matter with the
milk. This suspicion once entertained,
suggested the means to find out the truth.
One customer in particular was suspected,
and to fasten on him the truth was the next
effort. The cheese manufacturer proposed
to trusty person that he go and hire out
with the dealer in milk. The person Sc
lected for this purpose went as directed and
sought employment from the milkman,
but he did not need any help.
Determining not to be bafiled, the cheese
manufacturer proposed to his detective
that he offer to work for the milkman for
his board, and that he, the cheese maker,
would pay him his wages. This PROPOSE
zion, without being aware of the latter
part of it, the milkman acceded to. The
discovery resulted as the cheese maker
suspected The milk was watered, and
suit for damages has been commenced by
the cheese maker against the milkman,
who is said to be well-off farmer.

An Aged Couple Killed.

On last Thursday morning Henry Leith-
eiser and Susan, his wife, were killed on
the East Pennsylvania railroad while on
their way to Reading with a load of pota-
toes the engine of mail train No. 2 strik-
ing their wagon as it got on the track
The clothing of Mr.. and Mrs. Leitheiser
was caught by the car boxes, which whirl-
ed them around and dragged them ten or
fifteen feet, during which the aged lady
had an arm taken Off by the wheels passing
over it, and her husband had his leg run
over at the ankle. The scalp of the old
lady was also removed during the accident.
The engineer Immediately stopped the
train and backed to the scene of the acci-
dent, when Mr.. and Mrs. Leitheiser were
both found dead, and the horse which had
been attached to the vehicle was laying be-
side the road with life also extinct.
The conductor in charge of the mail
train is an experienced railroad man. 1t
is stated that not the slightest blame is at
tached on account of the accident to either
engineer or conductor, and it is reported
that the usual signal was given upon ap-
preaching the crossing. 1t is said that
man by the name of Paul, and Henry Leith-
eiser, son of the deceased, were within
quarter of mile of the crossing, and that
they distinctly heard the whistle of the en-
gine, but that the aged couple were partial
ly deaf and evidently did not hear the sig
nal. u.1

A Horrible Mystery.

On Saturday last, while working men
were engaged at repairing house at the
railroad crossing Of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral, on the Columbia and Marietta turn
pike, the remains OF two infants were
found, wrapped in good clothing. The
garments were entirely whole-in good con-
dition-but the flesh had decayed from the
bodies Of the infants, and nothing but the
skeletons remained. What the history of the
babes is can only be imagined. Lancaster

eSB Notwithstanding that lotteries have
been in favor from the earliest times, and
great fortunes made by those who are will
ing to risk little for the chance of getting
much, there is good deal to be said
against them. And good deal has been
said against them SO that thousands who
would like to take chance are kept from
it by the notion that it is not moral to make
a fortune at one lucky stroke. Then there
are so many bogus schemes offered, in
which the tickets are all blanks managed
by unknown persons, in whom the public
has no confidence, that cautious man
naturally hestates before investing even
small sum.
Such prudent people now have chance
to try their luck in a magnificent scheme,
whore everything is fair, and the chances
great. The Public Library of Kentucky
will give its fifth and last gift concert at
Louisville, on the 30th of November, 1874.
Two and half million of dollars in cash
will be distributed in twenty thousand
prizes, the highest of which is $3.50, 900
cash. Whole tickets cost only $50, and
tenth of ticket, or one coupon, $5. The
concerts, Of which this is positively the
last, are under the management of Gov.
Thos. E. Bramlette, of Kentucky, associa-
ted with other gentlemen of the highest
character and standing.

A crowd rushed upon the platform, and
