covered that OF their party, Conductor

city. Frightened anil anxious, they lost no
time in scolring the places they had visited.
but he was not % be found. Finally they dis-
covered cloud OF dust, crowd Of men. smal.
boys, boot blacks and dogs, and thither they
rushed. To their joy there stood odell in the
midst of the crowd, rubbing the dust from his
clothes, elawing mud and dirt from his hair
and moustaehe, and holding together the rents
in his garments. lie related to his friends how
while awe-struck with the beauty Of a newly
painted sign, upon which he was gazing, ~

We are one of the most even-iempered

lieve-as all good people are-that what
ever is done for the benefit of the church.
even when il is-as il is often of late, done
purely for Christ's sake; but there are
some things tha. happened at the festival
last Thursday night, whica We are COIN
PEELED to believe didn't strike the Savior
of mankind as being eminently fitting
and proper for the occasion.
We would mention among other things
the general administration of cayenne
pepper TO the people. who, prompted by a
desire to aid the work of Christianity, had
gone there to spend their money and par
take of the entertainment Perhaps we
are mistaken in supposing it 10 be a COM
mon and customary thing. We plead an
ignorance of the customs that prevail in
efforts OF that kind. but at n little town
We once inhibited in the remote and
woodland districts of Iowa. we were in
the habit of attending church festivals,
and we never were cayenned before We
had had reasonable opportunity of sur
veying the company present. There IS
something extremely Hilarious about the
actions of a victim TO an oeerdose "f pep

of inward christianity in the assassin; but
when gentlsmen Of well known respecta-

Gone to Texas.

Many Of our readers will regret to learn
of the departure of MrW II Harris. one of
the proprietors of the Saratoga, for the
sunny fields of Texas. Mr.. II. has lived
in this city for eighteen months. and was
one of ouI most staid. peaceable and re-
tired citizens. He and Mr.. Sam. Dunlap
started. overland. with a spring wagon,
yesterday for Texas. They will 60 down
by Wichita, and follow the line of the
NJ. X. Il T. road. Their object in going
overland is to gain the healthful advanta-
ges such trip will afford. Mr. Harris
has been keeping himself closely confined
for some time, which has caused depres-
SION and loss of appetite. They are not
certain what points in Texas will attract
them. but will probably visit San Antonio
and the larger cities. We expect To neal
from them from time TO time and how they
find the lower country. ar. Harris will
probably return next spring, il not soon
err He still has interests in the city anG
faith in Its future. We wish the boys I;
