what little is sold here on Court days, Is
not worth reporting. The ball was sor-
mally opened for the campaign OF 1ilden

Miller, who addressed large audience in
an effective speech. A Convention for the
purpose OF selecting delegates to the Dis

Your readers will remember that some
months since, yon gave an account Of the
elopement of one, L. d. Parker, Of Somer-
set, presiding Elder Of the Northern
Methodist Church, with gushing young
damsel, who lied not far from Ashland,
Nv. Well, after few months Of Illicit
bliss, spent some where in the far West,
this clerical reprobate grew tired Of his
new found treasure, and his conscience be-
gan to sting him sorely as he thought Of
his poor wife, whom he had so dishorora-
bly, deserted, although, having vowed to
love, cherish and protect. True, she was
growing old, and the silver threads were
fast replacing the gold, and, altogether, was
not as fair to his eyes as sic once was, but
he logged to see her again. This longing
grew until he was forced to obey its de-
mand, so he returned few days ago, to
ask the forgiveness Of her he had so cruel
ly wronged. Whether she received him
with open arms or spurned him from her
threshold, we are uniformed, but let us
hope that she considered the weakness Of
flesh in general, and that Of preacher in
particular, and took him back to her heart.
The church ought also to take him back to
the fold, as his services would be valuable
to warn sinners Of the rock upon which he
well nigh stIanded.-Selah.
