steps homeward, only to be the most sur
prised Pastor in the city. Most men of
his profession are Tor ought to beg ready
for all emergencies, but the Rector of ST.
James, and Chaplain of Independence
Lodge No. 142, !. o. 0. F., was for the

AS soon as the reaction came, the invest
igation began, but all that could be learn
ed on that evening was, that two gentle
men, on. of whom was known to the
neighbors, had been there and left the en-
tire outfit.
On Saturday morning the investigation
was resumed, preliminary to which the
Pastor had to open communications with
the outside world. This accomplished
he diligently, and with characteristic per-
sistency, began to look around for those
who had been the leaders in the cor
spiracy.
The first member of his parish that he
met, after hearing the recital Of the per-
picked Pastor, suggested that it probably
dropped down from the moon, but adj
mircd the whole arrangement, and added
IL have no doubt it is all right" So
thought the Pastor, and in pursuing the
investigation discovered that it did not
drop down from the dependant luminary
but that, in consequence of the light re
flectcd from the Sun of Righteousness in
the hearts OF dear, kind parshioners,
and beloved brothers fraternally, it had
been dropped at the door of one of the
least and most unworthy of His ambas-
sailors.
And now, my dear parishioners and
brethren, in behalf of my family and your
servant, accept my sincere and heartfelt
thanks for this additional token of your
confidence and esteem, and permit me to
subscribe myself ever your obliged pastor
in the Lord, and brother fraternally,

SUMNER TwP., Feb. 22d, 1875.
have canvassed four days soliciting
aid for the sufferers Of Knox county, Neb.,
with the following results: One hundred
and eighty-seven bushels of wheat, and
eighteen bushels of seed corn. In nearly
every instance the farmers have responded
literally, and cheerfully, particularly in
A. McGowan's neighborhood, they exceed
ed my highest expectations, notwithstand-
ing that they were called upon few days
before to contribute to the relief of one of
our own citizens, whose house and house,
hold effects were consumed by fire short
time ago. Allow me to extend my thanks
through your paper, to the contributors
for relief, for their kindness toward me
while soliciting.
should have made better progress had
the roads been in fair condition. shall
not be able to wait upon half of the
farmers in the county In person Please
extend the invitation to them to bring in
their contributions without being waited
upon. hope those that have responded
to the call for help, will please leave the
