The Rev. John Neil M'Leod, pastor of the
Twelfth Street Reformed Presbyterian Church
New York, died Monday morning in the sixty
eighth year of his age and the forty -sixth year
of his ministry. He was the son of the Rev.
DR.. Alexander M'Leod, the organizer of the
American Colonization Society, and was his fa-
theirs successor in the pastoral office. John
Neil M'Leod was graduate of Union College,
and was for many years professor in the Re
formed Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He
was a member of the Committee on versions of
the American Bible Society, and was perhaps
the most conspicuous among those leaders of
the New School who were unwilling to unite
with the other branches of the Scottish Church
because of some minor doctrinal differences

The LABOR TROUBLES AT ST. JoHN-The
action of the employees of several lumber mills
In ST. John, N. B., in preventing men from
working in mills who do not belong to their or
gahization and otherwise demanding changes
~ customs, wages, ETC., has undoubtedly ruined
W.. .no iumoer business of that important point for
'ne season. The mll-owners unanim ously
'o1eu' az meeting on Monday, not to employ
= lnan VINO claimed the right by belonging to
that association to manage their bus;nes. ond
also to raise sum to defend such men az
choose to work in the mills, against the ,ssoci-
alton members, and to furnish extraordinaru
facilities to those who have contracts to fiji.
For these purposes $4,000 was raised.

Two parishes of the State of Louisiana,
Ceddo and De Soto, lying upon the eastern
border OF Texas and containing population
of0o, 900, have petitioned the Texas Legisla-
ture to be annexed to that State, claiming
that all their interests lie in that direction, Is
they are embraced in the railroad system oil

Tia two Parishes are source of considerable

TERRIBLE TIME or IT.
They have n new hired eirl over

They have n new hired girl over at
keyscr's farm, just outside our town
says Max Adeler, and on Tuesday, be
fore starting TO spend the day with q
friend, Mrs. Keyser instructed the girl
to whitewash the kitchen during her
absence Upon returning, Mrs Key
ser found the job completed in very
satisfactory manner, On Wednesdays
Mrs. Keyser always churns, and last
Wednesday when she was ready she
went out, and, finding that Mr. Key
scr had already put the milk into the
churn she began to turn the handle.
This was at eight o'clock In the morn
ing, and she turned until ten without
any signs Of butter appearing. Then
she called to the hired man and he
turned until dinner time, when be
knocked off with some very offensive
language addressed to that butter which
had not yet come, After dinner the
hired girl took hold of the crank and
turnedit energetically untiltwo o'clock,
when she let go with remark which
conveyed the impression that she be-
lieved the ehurn TO be haunted. Then
Mr.. Keyser came out and said he want
ed to know what was the matter with
that churn, anyhow 1t was good
enough churn if people only knew
enough to work it, Mr.. Keyser then
worked the crank until halfpast three,
when, as the butter had not come, he
surrendered it again to the hired man
because be had an engagement in the
village The man ground the machine
to an accompaniment of frightful i'm
precautions; then the Kcyser children
each took u turn for an hour, then
Mrs. Keyser tried her hand, and when
she was exhausted she again enlisted
the hired girl, who said her prayers
while she turned. But the butter
didn't come. When Keysercame home
and found the churn still in action he
blasted his eyes and did some other
innocent swearing, and then he seized
the handle and said he'd make the but
ter come if he kicked up an earthquake
in doing it. Mr.. Kcyser effected about
two hundred revolutions of the crank
minute, enough to have made any
ordinary butter come from the ends Of
the earth; and when the perspiration
began to stream from him and still the
butter didn't como, he uttered one
wild yell of rage and disappointment
and kicked the chun over the fence.
When Mrs. Kcyser went to pick it up
she put her nose down close to the
buttermilk and took a snuff, Then
she understood how it was. The girl
had mixed the whitewash in the churn
and left it there. A good, honest and
intelligent servant who know show to
churn can find a situation at Keysers.
There is vacancy.

RAILROAD FIRE ENGINES

The Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany employ no less than. four fire
trains on the mountain route across
the Sierra. The first is stationed at
Blue Canon, the second at Emigrant
Gap, third at the Summit, and the
fourth at Truckee. Each train con-
sists of a locomotive and three or four
water cars. These cars are about the
same length as an ordinary freight car,
and formed of two inch plank; they
are very strongly put together, as
nearly watertight as possible, and ele-
waited above the track about four feet.
Each car viii hold 1900 gallons Of wa
ter, or not far from 100 barrcls-cqual
in weight to $1,000 pounds. The To-
comotives are arranged with powerful
pumps that throw steady stream, and
do equally as good work as the best
fire engine used in any of the large
cities. Leather hose three inches in
diameter is used, which, when not in
use, is wound upon large reel mounted
on one car of each train, These trains
are kept in constant readiness to pro
cced with all possible speed to the To-
cality of the fire, upon the first alarm.
All Of the 25 miles Of shedding between
Emigrant Gap and Truckee is thor
oughly deluged with water once a
week In sprinkling the sheds, the
pipe man stands on the pilot in front,
of the engine, which moves slowly
along at the rate of two miles an hour
In this work five men are sufficient TO
manage a train. Since the introduc-
ton Of the fire alarm telegraph, with
32 different stations between Emigrant
Gap and Truckcc, the danger of any
very disastrous conhagration in the
sheds is nearly or quite obviated
