which must be given to this great and

1t is said OF Lord Norbury that he
would at any time rather lose n friend
than II joke. On one occasion he began
the sentence OF death in this wise :
"Prisoner at the bar, you have been
found guilty by jury of your country

transported in aquariums, and many
other OUTLAWS will be necessary in order
to perfect the work SO nobly begun,
and make it paying enterprise to the
commonwealth. The States which
started years ago in the fish culture
are reaping u rich reward for the ex-
penditure of funds, and Iowa, so noted
for enterprise in many respects, will
not halt in this.

ton ever taken up at single religious
gathering was that at the closing meet
ing of Messrs. Moody and Sankey in
Philadelphia last week. Mr.. Moody
had announced at q previous meeting

thousand dollars, and gift of yalu-
able diamond ring, gift to the donor,
for which one thousand dollars was re-
allied.
