PnAcrrcAL P1ErY.-The following Incl

PRACTICAL PIETy.-The following Incl
dent, related in the Waterloo Courier, of
last week, may possibly be verified in the
remembrance of some of our readers:
Rev. Frank Paxton, Presiding Elder of
this district, has rich vein of genuine
humor in his composition, and never miss
cs an opportunity to give it play. During
one of his visits in Buchanan county he
was attending love feast, on the occa-
sion of one of his quarterly meetings,
and good, pious sister in the church rose
to tell what the Lord had done for her
She said she felt perfect peace; she no
longer cared for any of the things of
earth, but rose above all sublunary cares
and was resting in ecstacy in the arms of
her dear Saviour, waiting patiently,
though with fond longings, to hear the
summons to the brighter fields beyond
this vale of tears. The Elder listened
with quiet twinkle in his eye, until the
good sister had related her blessed expert
cnce, and then quietly told her if she would
mend the rents in her husbands coat, SO
that he would make a more comely appear
ance when he came to the house of wor
ship, she would thus perform good deed,
pleasing in the eyes of God and her hus-
band This was lesson in practical
piety quite new to the good woman, who
seemed to have lost sight of the fact that
religion was made for every day use, not
merely raft to carry sin sick souls safely
over the StyX
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1875-05-14

AT the last meeting but one of the City
Council, that body passed a resolution by
Il bare majority, expressing its sense that
the ordinance relating to Saloon Licenses
should be altered so as to reduce the. price
of licenses in certain specified limits one
half, making them 800. They also
directed the City Attorney to frame and
present at the next meeting, which was
last Monday evening, an amended ordin-
ance in accordance with the resolution
This was accordingly done at the last
meeting, but when the City Attorneys
document came to be examined it was
found that it would not "hold water"
in other words, that in several essential
particulars it was not in accordance with
the Statute. 1t was, therefore, referred
back to the Attorney for reconstruction.
We hope that the City Dads and Solicitor
will not keep the people, and especially
the expectant saloonists for whose benefit
the amendment is designed, hanging too
long on the tenter hooks of suspense.

Convocation.

The regular quarterly Convocation of
the Northern District of the Diocese of
Iowa, commenced in ST. James church,
on Monday evening last, the 10th inst. on
which occasion the Right Rev. J. c. Tai
bot, Bishop of Indiana, made visitation
of the Parish; preaching the sermon and
administering the Apostolic Rite of Con-
formation to eleven individuals, presented
by the Rector of this Parish. Four of
the class, which numbered fifteen, were
unable to attend; one from absence from
home in the east, and three others by
sickness in their families. The Right
Rev. Bishop made truly Apostolic ad
dress to the newly confirmed, showing
that it was not the end, but the threshold
of the christian life upon which they had
entered; exhorting them that being now
grated into thcItrue vine by public con-
fession before men, of their Father in Heav-
en-, to go on in His strength, daily increas
ing in His holy spirit more and more until
they came to His Heavenly Kingdom.
The ConvocatiOn services were attend
ed, and participated in by the following
clergymen:
From the Western District, Rev. J. s.
Reed, Dean of the same; Rev. F. 4. Judd,
of the Eastern District; and of the North
ern, the Rev's. A. A. Butler, w. Wright,
F. Humphrey, II. L. Everest and Rector.
The Rev. Dean, Ryan, who had been
present at all the services of the Mission
at Cedar Falls, was prevented by sickness
in his Parish from being present, and the
Rev. +. Humphrey on the nomination Of
the Rector of st. James, presided as act
ing Dean.
The COnvOcation holds Mission at
Dyersville early in the fall, and the place
for holding their next regular meeting is
subject to the appointment of the Deans.
The Convocation closed last evening
with evening prayer, sermon and mission
airy meeting, in which the Laity took part.

A LEcHERoUs ScoUNDREL. domestic
tragedy of more than usually painful and
aggravated character has been brought to
light in our city this week, in which is
involved the ruin of young girl of re-
spectacle family and heretofore irrcproach-
bic character, whose name in Difference to
the feelings of her almost distracted par
ents we withhold from publication. The
william is loafish, drinking pest, one
c. II. Stone, painter by occupation,
whose murderous assault upon his fellow
workmen, and subsequent incarceration in
Jail we had occasion to chronicle some
thing over month ago. This Stone is a
married man who has deserted his wife
and child living in Alamakee county.
lie has been working for six or eight
months past in one of our carriage man
ufactories and boarding at the residence of
the parents of the young lady referred to
above. The father of the girl has been
away from home during the winter, and
the miserable scamp, Stone, seems.to have
improved the absence of her natural
protector, to lay seige to her affections
in view to make her the victim Of his
lustful passions, in the meantime boast
ing of his intentions in the streets and
saloons In this design he seems to have
succeeded only too well, and also to have
concealed his hellish work from the
mother of the girl. AS for the victim, the
coil of the serpent was 50 securely wound
about her that she became completely in
fatuated with Stone, even after she knew
that lie was married man. At his in
stance, and, as it seems, upon his repre-
sentation that he was about to procure
divorce from his wife, the girl, in spite of
the protests and entreaties of her mother
and friends, and regardless of appear
anccs, left town with Stone. The couple
went to Farley where they registered at
the hotel as Mr. Reed and wife, and dur
ing their stay occupied the same apart
ment. Early this week the father having
returned, filed an information against
Stone for seduction. The warrant was
placed in the hands of an officer who
went after Stone brought him back with
the girl, and placed him in Jail. The ex-
animation of Stone was commenced before
Justice Roszell yesterday, the arguments
of counsel, and decision being reserved
for this morning.
All the evidence in the case goes to
show that Stone is an unmitigated william
with not vestige of shame or honor. 1t
is shown that after he had coolly planned
and accomplished the ruin of his victim,
he in the most shamelessly disgusting man
ner possible, went the rounds of the sa
looms and shops, Boosting of his work, as
though it was an exploit to be proud of.
From information received from Alama-
kee county, where his wife is, it is ascer-
tanned that not only has he not applied
for divorce, but that he has no cause
for obtaining one, his wife being woman
of good character whose misfortune it is
to be tied to such miserable whelp as lie.

The Mission at Cedar Falls.

ED. BULLETIN: Pursuant to my prom
Use to you before leaving to attend the
services of the Mission held at Cedar
Falls, in St. Luke's Church, from the eve
ming of the 9Th inst. to Sunday, the 9th,
inclusive, l will say in few words, that
all the clergy were on hand to perform the
duties assigned them; and that while there
was total absence of all excitement,
the whole series of services were appar-
entity pervaded by spirit of earnestness
and devotion beautiful to look upon. The
congregations, which were good to com.
mcnce with, continued to increase until
the church-which holds comfortably $50
was crowded, numbers being unable to
gain admittance. To God be all the glory.
