Trinity Church.

The vestry OF Trinity Church have adopted the
following plan aud rules, regulating the letting
and occupancy Of Chapel pews, commencing on
March 25th, 1874:
l. Pews or half pews now rented viii! he con-
tinued ut present rates and times Of payment.
2. Pews now vacant will be rented in whole
pews at present rates, or In sittings for period
not less than three months.
To render moro convenient, and carry cut the
plan Of renting in sittings, the vestry recommend
the envelope system.
The envelope system Is this: Each member Of
the congregation or attendant upon church servi-
ces, places In an envelope his contribution ffor
any specific object; in this case pew rent, and
deposits the same each Sunday In the plate, or
other receptacle provided for that purpose
The great advantage OF this over the present
plan of paying rent quarterly is that 1t is conve
| nient cash system, by which the Church Treasury
will be repienished every week and be always in
funds. ln addition to its being q cash system, 1t
has universally been found, where tried, to have
facilitated aud increased the collections and in
| come.
The sittings range in prices from ten to thirty
cents Sunday, or per week. The envelopes will
be furnished by the receiver, Mr.. b. Shoemaker,
l Jr., to each occupant; aud for convenience, pay
ments may be made weekly, or otherwise, by do
posting the envelope with contents in q boz
placed near the door within the Church.
The advantages may be thus summed up:
/. Cash system.
.. Continually replenished Treasury.
i ). Increased income
4. Convenient means OF paying.
| The vestry would gladly see the envelope sys
tenn used throughout the congregation.
| The receiver will give full information concern
Ing vacant pews and sittings, with their respec
tive prices.
n. B-The Chapel will be open and the receiv
| er present on Monday evenings, from to 8 o'crk
to receive applicants for pews or sittings

4 Fortunate Kick.

A GLASS BEAD SWALLOWED BY LITTLE Boy
THREE MONTHS AGO, CoUdHED Up.
On New Years Day, q little boy aged years,
son OF Mahlon G. Houck, No. pa Mifflin street,
Reading, Pa, accidentally got a black glass bead
in his wind pipe, while playing, and it passed
into the right lobe Of his lungs. while the sur
geons were endeavoring to extract it with instru
ments, an incision having been made Just below
adams Apple" The bead caused the little boy
a great deal OF inconvenience, and 1t caused an
Irritation In the lungs which produced phlegm,
and at night the little sufferer was attacked by
severe spells of coughing, and occasionally he
nearly sufocated. He expectorated matter tinged
with blood, and it was predicted by the attending
physicians that If the bead were not expectorated
the lungs would very likely be destroyed by con-
sumption.
On Friday evening last the little fellow was
playing with some children of the Reighborhood,
and quarrelled with little boy, who gave him Q
kick. Young Houck attempted TO return the
compliment, when he was attacked with a cough
ing spell which nearly strangled HIM, and fortu
nately he coughed up the bead, its fall being
heard on the pavement, where it was found In
crustated and presenting rough surface, al
though the glass itself is smooth. 1t has a je
black color, and is three-quarters Of an inch IL
length and fully one.third OF an inch In diameter
The little boy had learned to make at will Ger
tain kind OF musical noise through the beaC
while ii was in his lungs, and he has since tries
to produce the same sound without effect, Ill
says "he can no lOsger make the bead talk"
There was always sort of rushing sound in hi
chest, which has disappeared, as also the cougl
which afflicted him, and he is now in the best o
spirits.

New York Tribune says "that the business of The
Chesapeake aud Ohio railroad is very encourag-
ing. AT its western terminus there Ia q well-ar-
ranged line of steamers connecting with Cincin-
natl. The great need Of the company ia an inde-
pendent line of steamers from Richmond to New
York. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
have branch road tipping the Chesapeake and
Ohio at Staunton. Should the present manage
,nent of the latter road continue in default on the
interest upon their bonded debt 1t Is understood
that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will net be
averse to becoming propristois OF the Chesapeake .
and Ohio at a price that would fully protect the
holders Of the FIRST mortgage loans. Should that
event transpire Baltimore would become the east
srn terminus Of the road, and have the advanta-
ges Of large business that viii inevitably come

the most intelligent and easily donesticated and
with regard to the feathered race, wonderful
stories are told about the instincts of storks and
other birds that feed upon fish. 1t does not; sp-
pear to have been satisfactorily demonstrated,
however, that intellect is developed in the human
race by frequent use Of fish diet. To arrive at
. conclusion respecting this, it would be necessa

Coyington correspondent OF the Cincinnati Com
nerciai, shot and killed lion. Harvey Myers at
Covington, KY, this noon. Both were very prom
inent meu In Kentucky. The shooting was the
result of grudge OF long standing. Col Tyr
rell after shooting Mr.. Myers, did not attempt to

insanity. owing to domestic trouble, his wife
having made application for a divorce. Some
months ago he received stab wound, which was
near proving fatal. Myers was Mrs. Tyrrelrs at
torney, and it appears he gave offenso to Colonel
Tyrrell by putting certain questions to him dur
ing his examination of the divorce case in court
this morning. Tyrrell went to Myers room af-
ter the examination. and an alteration ensued.
Myers ordered Tyrrell out Of the room, and the
latter refused TO go. Myers then attempted TO
eject him, when Tyrrell fired upon him The

YOURS TRULY" ANSWERED.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
l did not expect such a sudden burst
Of indignation from the pen of "Yours
Truly" over n slight intimation that
inadvertently made, that she might be
an dHldnuensis. Had borne in mind
the proverbial popularity of women
generally, TO have the first and last
word at all times, and on all occasions,
I might have avoided the storm of linn
itless verbosity to which 1 have unfor-
tunately exposed myself admire the
candor, thrilling eloquence, and senti-
mental truth of the contributions at
tri6Uted to "Yours Truly" How
strangely different their cheering effect
from the efIete emanations of the stole
and misauthrope! BY intimating that
"Yours Truly" might be an dDldRUeRSis,
/ simply meant that she may have
plagiarized to q considerable extent
from the romantic eloquence and love
enraptured coruscations of some bril-
liant and philosophic lover, and being
overwhelmed by has magic intuition,
and the inspiration Of his love, she
may, unconscious Of the plagiarism
she was committing, have moulded his
motive ideas with those rounded and
elegant periods that come out in origi-
nal strength and vigorous relief over
the non de plume OF "Yours Truly" in
the columns OF the NEW NORTHWEST
But would it not be better for her, and
more womanly, to be silent and sub
missive to slight criticisms upon hel
style Of writing? 1t is true that am 6
bachelor OF some years standing; buI
does "Yours Truly" suppose that living
a single life renders man Incapable o
comprehending the true status OF WON
an, since the story Of Eve is so widely
known? 1t seems to me that furthe
argument is useless. L. NJ. ENGLE.

Origin of the Temperance Crusade.

The ladies' temperance movement
commenced at Hillsboro, Ohio, by q
lady whose husband and son had fallen
victims to the intoxicating cup, and all
earthly means OF reforming them hav-
ing failed, her burde ned soul cried out
to God for help; and she arose in the
church and asked her sisters to meet
her in her own parlOr to pray. A num-
Der volunteered. They held prayer
meeting in her parlor; the divine pres
ence was with them in power. Deeply
impressed to do 50, she asked her friends
to follow her into the street, and they
all did so, neither she nor any OF the
Others knowing what would be done, or
by what mysterious influence they were
led /; but, single file, they passed along
the principal street, singing as they
went, until they came TO the leading sa-
loon; and led by the same unseen hand,
they entered it, and plead with the pro-
prietor to quit the business; but he said
il was his only means of support, and
his family would suffer and starve ii he
quit; but he gave them permission tC
| hold a prayer meeting in the saloon
and they sang and prayed until all the
ladies present had led in prayer, and
there was a wonderful measure OF divine
power accompanying the exercises
They again entreated the Saloon keeper
10 desist; he said he would il he hat
anv other means OF support, but he
could not as he was situated. In a mo-
ment the lady asked for a sheet Of pa
per. wrote out subscription, and, in a:
] brief a time as the names could be writ
ten. 81 900 was subscribed by the ladies
the wives of bankers and merchants
The man closed his saloon, and it hai
never been opened since. He is now
converted, and a member Of the Church
This was the unpremeditated beginning
~ this wonderful movement.
