THREE HUNDRED BRIDES WANTED.
The Rev. Mr.. Stevenson, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in this place, said
something in his sermon yesterday that
served to wake up some OF MS
sleepy hearers, and which bothers
some of them greatly to understand. He
was discoursing upon the all too prevs-
lent vices of tattling, back-bitlng and
evil surmisings, when he burst forth In
the vehement expression of advice that
thew should all, when they go home this
coming week, pray to the Lord to "send
down to this congregation, three ht'ad1ea
anil t,oenty-sir bridtes| (The number
corresponds with the tally list of MEM
bership.) As no intention of the congre-
CATION going en- nadsse upon cavalry
raid was known, and rs no unuSuai
scarcity of that special line OF horses
harness mentioned was discoverable IN
the community, sleepy Hodge and MS
unfanciful wife and daughters have ever

WATCHING AND WAITING OVER THE
BORDER.
MD. Evans. who has become some
what notorious in connection with al
legged violations of the liquor laws, and
more especially by reason of the rough
raids Of the crusaders. upon his drug
store. has become an exile, and now lam
cuisines upon the opposite shores, IN the
vicinity of Shanghai. Several late war
rants are out against him, and that
imaginary thing of potency, the State
line, is the palladium of his immunity.
Though having sinned without doubt;

circumstances is that public sentiment

frowns vengefully upon those done by
him.
There is great rivalry existing at pres

THE MURDERER OF GILBERT
If ever man killer deserved hanging
the murderer of Gilbert, in Steubenvillc,
does. The theoretical idea of the police
man is, that he is the probator of the life
and liberty of the citizens. Whenever
he uses his extraordinary authority for
the indulgence Of his personal BRITISH
ness he should be punished with II sever
itv rs far extraordinary us his authority;
and when he carries his inhuman vicious
ness to the point of pounding the life
out of helpless victim, and adding to
this the supcrhuous MASKING and smash
inc of his bones and flesh, he should be
hanged promptly and MORALLY.
