lCommunicated.l

The Methodist, Congregational and
Presbyterion churches. have, together,
been observing the week of prayer, as
appointed by the Evangelical Alliance
The interest has been regularly in
creasing and it has been decided by
these congregations to continue the
meetings another week. Stirring adj
dresses are made by laymen, that in
intelligence, pathos and interest,
would attract the attention and stir
the feelings in any community. Last
night. at the Methodist Church, a re
quest was extended to any who
wished the prayers of the copgrega-
ton, to rise; three arose. After
prayer, an invitation was given for all
who desired a deeper work of grace in
their own hearts. to rise; when nearly
the whole congregation arose to their
feet. 1t Is pleasant 70 see the unity
and earnestness of feeling which
seems to prevail. Union meeting at
the Methodist Church at two O'Clock
this afternoon and at Z O'Clock this
evening. Next week meetings will be
held in the Presbyterian Church at
2 and 7 p. M. on Monday and Tues
day at the same hours in the Congre-
gational Church, oil Wednesday and
Thursday at the same hours in the
Methodist Church on Friday and Sat
urday evenings.

There seems to be, after all, a
way to realize on our useless dogs The
Oakland CALI Netcs tells of a firm
doing business in San Francisco who
purchase the thousands of dogs
slaughtered by the pound master of
that city, or that may have been
otherwise killed, for which they pay
forty cents each. The are
conveyed to their mandatory at
South San Francisco, where the skins
are removed and sold to the tanners,
the hair taken off and resold to pIas-
terers, the hide tanned, made into
gloves, and sold in the market. The
; denuded carcass is then thrown into
q large cauIdron and boiled until The
bones are easily separated from the
flesh. when they are removed and
sold to the sugar refineries, where
they are ground to a fine powder and
used to clarity the sugar. The oil
that arises to the surface OF the boil
ing mass is skinned off and manu-
featured into cod liver oil, and the
remainder used for the purpose of fat
tening hogs.
This is an enterprise which would
flourish in Cheyenne, where the raw
material is cheap and without limit.

Returned from the Black Hills.

= Messrs. w. A. Dearie and Henry
Baltz, have just returned from Spring
Creek, where they delivered a load
o fsupplies on j. c. Abney's account.
They report that it took them twelve
days in going, (via Pollock's cut-of)
with a heavy load, aud ten days in
returning to Cheyenne; they went
and came back at a slow gait. in order
TO keep their horses in good condition
and as they intended to make another
trip to the Hills right away. They
stopped a few days at the diggings
on Spring Creek, where they saw the
miners at work. The report brought
In by Mr.. Irwin and published in the
LEADER, is confirmed by Dearie and
Baltz. The miners are making from
seven to fourteen dollars a day, and a
Montana party, who r working by
themselves drifting on the rim
rock" are reported to be earning
twenty dollars per day to the man.
Dearie and Baltz met several par
ties of Indians on the way, and in one
instance camped over night within a
quarter of a mile of a Sioux camp +;
but they were not disturbed by them
in the least. rTwenty-eight men mr.
rived'in Hill City from Bismarck re-
Gently. They had been forty days on
the way and been harrassed by In
dians day and night. They had to
fight their way through and had n
hard time of it generally Their stock
was in a very poor condition, as the
Sioux had burned the prairie around
them on all sides, and they had no
feed or rest fpr. their animals.
Our informers say the road from
Cheyenne, via Fort Laramie and
Pphock's cutoff, is in a first rate con-
dition bridges have been built over
most of the streams, timber being
plenty on the banks of the latter.
Dearie and Baltz will start onanother
trip, Wednesday next, when they
expect to have the company of three
or four other outfits.

Colonel FOrncy and Judge Kelley.
From Forney's Press

If ever public servant deserved the con-
tinu ID confidence of bis constituents, Mr.
Kelley is that man, and it will be dan
gerous experiment in view Of his position
on the question of relieving the working
classes from the heavy pressure now bear
ing upon them, should be denied the regu-
lar Republican nomination. The manner
in which he has maintained this position
has confirmed the admiration of his friends
and secured the respect Of his adversaries.
His characteristic eloquenee, tenacious
memory, rare powers of retort and sleep
less devotion to the interests of his district
and his people secure for him tho support
of the whole voting population of that dis
trict. Let us not deny to ourselves the i'm
portant fact that there is no party in the
Fourth district which does not sympathise
with him against sudden specie payments
and the suicidal policy Of forcing hard
money upon the country at time when all
the working masses are suffering from the
evils of contraction, nor should the poiti-
clans forget that there is hardly manufac-
turer in the Fourth district that does not
look to him as precisely the man to carry
the Republican flag next November.

Cherry free Growing ON q Chestnut
Tree,
ALLENTOWN (Pa.) Democrat.]

On the premises of Mr.. Henry Troxell, at
East Texas, in Lower Macungie township,
Lehigh county, there is a large chestnut
tree, measuring l6 feet in circumference,
and which at the height of ten feet from
the ground spreads out number OF
branches, and in the fork thus formed be-
tween the limbs, stands cherry tree which
has grown there until it has attained con
siderable size, its branches interminging
with those of the chestnut in friendly en-
brace. Remarkable to state, the cherry
tree has grown in this unusual position as
though it was in deep soil. In the crevice
or fork formed by the outspreading of the
branches aforesaid, through the workings
of nature deep deposit of decayed bark,
leaf mould and earth was formed, and it is
supposed that cherry stone was dropped
therein by birds, and that from it the tree
sprung and gradually grew into goodly size.
The trees are regarded as great curiosities,
which they certainly are, and as such are
sought out yearly by large numbers of peo-
pie for inspection.
