We live not only in a world of mate
rial facts, bu. also in a spiritual world
not only in presence of visible creation.
but of the invisible Creator. With the
creation we are in contact through the
intellect. But with the Creator we are
in communication only through feeling.
The presence of God cannot be demon
strated by pure intellect, but must be
felt IN order to be proved. We may
count and measure the mass of objects
presented to us in nature by the intel
lect, but of the divine essence-the in
hnite life that animates the whole and
every part-the intellect alone cannot
even give an intimation. A man gets
no nearer the divine presence through a
telescope than through microscope, and
no nearer through either than through
the naked eye.

DOGS AS SHEEP PROTECTORS.

used TO breed cattle, but having a
natural fOndness for sheep, and an op-
portunity to purchase a couple of Scotch
colley shepherd dogs removing my fears
on the score of destruction by mongrel
ours, which deters so many from keep
ing sheep, | concluded to try the exper-
iment which has resulted so satisfactorily.
In my stock Of 100 ewes have half
a dozen bells, and in case of danger, the
sheep all run to the dogs for protection.
This familiarity between the dogs and
sheep, with the watchful care exercised
Is one Of the prettiest sights in the world.
These faithful guardians of the flock are
ever on the alert day and night. The
rapid tinkling of the bells at once arouses
the dogs and about three weeks ago.
IN the middle of the night, l heard an
unusual disturbance among the sheep,
but was 80 confident that the dogs would

A Town Washed Out.

A correspondent at Las Cruces, N. NJ,
says q tremendous water-spout suddenly
appeared In, the hills, about one mile back
of the town, at $50 D. m. on the 18th of
September, and before the citizens had time
to realize the impending calamity it was
upon them. The tall, dark column, COM
posed of water and dust. approached with
such rapidity, that in less than ten minutes
from the time Of Its appearance, and before
any property could be saved, sixty-three
houses had been blown to the ground. The
streets were soon covered to the depth of
four or five feet with water and the current
was of such strength that large boulders
were carried along. Two hours later the
rain fell in torrents, and continued several
hours Strange 10 say, not a single life
was lost On Sunday the entire popula-
ton were out repairing the damage. Mon
day, at four O'Clock, another water.spout
made it's appearance, coming from the
same direction and moving with equal
rapdity. Sixteen houses which escaped
destruction from the first visitation were
demolished. The flood which followed
lasted three hours. The damage done by
these storms will amount to at least $780,
000 ..

The Guib0rd Case.

The members of L'Instilut Canadien
held meeting last Friday night and dec-
ded to hold Guibord's funeral Friday or
saturday of this week. A requisition is to
be made on the military for assistance, and
a secret preparation will be deposited in the
grave so as TO render it dangerous forlany
one to attempt to disturb the body The
superintendent of the institute visited the
Protestant cemetery vault, FE,day, and
opening Guibord's coffin found the outline
of the body still distinctly traceable. This
is the first time the coffin has been opened
since being closed six years ago, The
general feeling is that q second attempt at
burial will be resisted as violently as be.

Business in Boston.

In trade the doings of the past month in
Boston are found to foot up more favora-
bly, than was expected. Traders see that
they are making fair progress, and business
for the month on which we have entered is
looked to with more hopeful feeling. The
late failures hinder characterization of con-
fidence and cause sellers TO be cautious in
giving credits, but buyers have been oper-
ating 30 closely that they will have more
ready money in proportion their purchases,
and can now afford to, duplicate the orders
made earlier in the season. This mode of
doing business gives more quiet tone to
the market, but at the end of the season
tells more favorably than Is indicated by
the daily reports. General prosperity can
not beexpected until we get back to a safer
basis, for while the circulating medium of
greenbacks is hourly fluctuating no safe
calculation can be made as TO future con-
tracts

Editor Rutland Globe ALLOW me to
acknowledge, through your paper, my in
debtedness to some kind, yet unknown
friend, who has made me the recipient of
your very valuable WEEKLY GLOBE. Com
ing, as 1t does, from my native-cess,ty, it
is truly welcome visitor, indeed it is like
u weekly visit from an old friend. spent
almost fifty years of my life in Rutland
county and its vicinity. III Of my youth
full associations and many valuable friends
are left far back in the old Green Mountain
state. God bless her she will ever be
dear to me-
My, home is now in the great northwest,
in the state of Minnesota-the state whose
wide reputation for health needs no other
proof than to converse with those victims
of disease who have fled from the other
states and sought refuge in the pure atmos-
phere of Minnesota, with most happy re-
suits to many of them.
. This is not all that may be said in her
favor. She is young yet, but eighteen
years old, yet her agricultural prospects
are watched with great interest in the
eastern states as well rs IN Europe. The
great wheat crop this year was her pride
and boast, feeling certain that the inhabi-
tants would receive for it about
twenty-five millions OF dollars, yet in the
midst of their hopes, when they felt they
almost held it in their hands the storms
commenced, and in a very unfavorable
time, the grain mostly cut, the sheaves lay
scattered on the fields.
The rains continued for about two weeks
and if there ever was race of people with
deferred hopes, it was the people OF Mime
sofa during those, two weeks. Yet we
have passed through the ordeal and through
the goodness of kind providence we have
occasion for great gratitude. In the tim
bered sections of the state the wheat was
the heaviest, consequently they have sus-
tanned the greater loss. The loss has been
yarously estimated from one half to one
quarter. From my own observation am
satisfied it will reach third. Much of the
grain was put into stacks in bad condi-
ton, and has to be threshed before it spoils,
and but few have room in buildings to
spread 1t to dry, consequently it is forced
upon the market at loss. After all, Min
pesota is great state, when we consider
her age, and what she will be when mature
years shall be upon her. She holds out, in
my opinion, more inducements to young
men, to obtain good homes than any state
/ know of. Rich soil in healthy country
is all that is needed with energetic efforts,
and 1t is secured. R.M.

bank admit that they have been aware Of
the questionable nature of these securities
for the past three years, and that, during
this time, the bank has been looslng money
at the rate of some fifty thousand dollars
year. Knowing these facts, they continu-
ed to receive deposits during all the time,
until the depositors now number about
seven thousand eight hundred with money
deposited to the amount Of from one mil

three hundred and seventy-fve thousand
dollars, an average Of some one hundred
and seventy-fve dollars to deposition, and
these, with good luck, the bank now hopes
to pay fifty cents on the dollar. This,
however, is not the worst part of the story.
One week before the doors were finally
closed, the officers knew that they must
fail, but yet continued to receive deposits,
although they delayed the payment of de-
positors where it was possible to put one
of them off with fair words-and all of
these must loose fifty per cent of their
hard earnings, the money of those who de-

to swell the dividends Of those who had
