The friends of Mr.. Elliot who has
had the pastoral charge Of the Pres
byterian church of Kerr Hill for the
last four and half years, do not pro-
pose to have him sever his connection
with them without giving him some
token of their respect and love, and
therefore have decided to give him a
donation party at the residence of
Mrs. Samuel Kerr, Thursday evening,
the 9th inst. Knowing we'll the feel.
ing of the people of Kerr Hill and
vicinity towards their pastor, we can
safely say that the donation will be
worthy both of the recipient and the
parish 1itusvilte Herald.
1t s to be hoped that the Kerr Hill
people will do something handsome,
as the subject has found its way into
the papers. If they do themselves
proud, we shall be pleased to give
them a complimentary notice.

and recess at home, in Brookville, and
then returned t. his post in Washing.
ton to vindicate the rights of the peo-
pie against the usurpation and tyran.
ny exercised by the Radical leaders in
and out Of Congress"
The above is from the pen of the
old phariseo of Clarion Jacksonian.
Now, if VIC had been let into the se-
cret that George was going to Wash
ington as "vindicator," not only in,
but out of Congress, we should have
protested more than we did. "Usur-
patton and tyranny" flows as natur.
ally from the old mans pen as if he
had taken up arms for the Southern
Confederacy, instead of merely SYM
pa,hising with the rebels.
We are uuder obligations to Mr..
G. L. Hanna, formerly Of West HEX
ory, for late files of Denver and Gree
ley papers, The Colorado Sm is re-
sponsible for the following items:
Chas. l.. Hanna, who has largo
band of sheep on the Geary place,
some fourteen miles down the Platte,
was obliged to feed out about half a
ton of hay per day to bis stock on ac-
count Of the snow.
Judge Levi and Charles Hanna
have lately taken up one hundred and
sixty acres of land down the Platte
about seyenty-fve miles, and intend
to move their sheep there another sea-
son. They are putting up large cor
raj, the lumber for which was hauled
from Greeley. They estimste that
about two thousand miles travel were
required to get the material to its pres
eDt location.
AT meeting recently held, the
Crawford County Republican Com
mit.ee passed resolutions against the
continuance of the Crawford County
System as a mode of nomination, and
recommended a return to the dele.
gate system. The question is to be
submitted to the voters at the next
primary meetings. 1t may not work
well there, but we believe everybody
is satisfied that it is the best system
for this county. The Democracy of
Forest adopted this system something
over a year ago.
1t depends somewhat on how the
lumber trade starts up in the spring,
"hether "s lose some of our oldest
residents. We have heard several
persons who have heretofore made
numbering their business, say that if
business did not brighten up in the
spring, they would seek homes in the
far west.
-Wm. Heath has opened his coal
bank on Dutch Hill, and has given a
lease to the OsgOod boys. Some of
the coal has been hauled to town but
we have not heard anything as to the
quality of it. Hope it is good, as it
is handy TO town.
