Rev. ]. T. Hanna.

| In obedience TO the mandates of his church
Rev. James T. Hanna bid cur city farewell
last week for the new field of labor assigned
| him. Our people sincerely regretted the &C.
clesiastical economy that took him herce. and
would have gladly retained him in their midst.
Coming here three years ago he found town
of new and incongruous elements and a
church organization with little lie and no
sarnest intent upon the part OF its mamber-
ship, as whole. The results OF his labor are
patent to all and call Tor no rehearsal at our
hands. Mr.. Hanna is what we would terra a
pulpit pastor; that is, he is felt more from his
place upon the rostrum than as an everyday
counselor and visitor-more the leader oil the
flock than the feeder OF lambs. he was ever
a close student while resident of our city,
and every Sabbath he brought to his people
thoughts that burned with intensity, clothed
in language whose words were indeed zap
piles OF gold in pictures of silver No one
ever expected to hear an cid or an unnterest-
ing discourse iaIi from his lips. With each
week, month and year he seemed 10 grow
brighter. and, he did. a cogent reasoner and
logical thinker, all acknowledged him to be-
His sermons were always written but never
closely followed. While his organs OF articu-
iation may prevent his ever becoming great
orator, he will ever hold his audience as few
mere orators can. We add only the
wish-and we know we reflect the sentiments
Of hundreds in and cut Of the churches OF the
city---that, wheresoever in the future his lot
shall be east, may he and bis ever enjoy Heav-
ems peace and earth's prosperity.

Tna Storm Of Last Waak.

Equinoxialy speaking old Tees planetary
conjunctions knocked things in apogee. The
warm. spring-hke weather of last week was
followed, Friday aud Saturday, by fearful
'.horther" that set things back to about mid
winter. 1t did not snow or sleet to any con-
siderable extent in this valley, but the rain
was cold aud the wind furious. la northern
Kansas and the Northern States the snow
storm was heavey, and even Is far south As
Emporia, considerable snow tell. About the
foot OF the mountains and around the lakes, it
proved ono Of the deepest snow falls Of the
winter. The storm must have made many
new immigrants look 1 little blue and mayhap
induced some increduleus thoughts touching
our Italian skies and pleasant winters. Bat
they'll ell forget it in week or two OF the
glorious weather that follows.

The New PRESBYTERIAN Church.

The new church on the corner of First
street and Lawrence Avenue, with its high
gothic roof and turret and partly completed
tower, is entirely enclosed and leoks as though
one might expect any Of these bright Sabbaths
to hear floating through its stained glass win
dsws and echoed from its yaulted ceiling, the
songs OF thanks and praise. When we last
wrote about il we thought the tower was to be
completed and in ii a town-clock adjusted
Why the failure We have not learned. We
hope the city did not fail to do its part. The
pastor, Rev. J. p. Harsen, informed US, Sat
urday, that tie Church Extension Board at
New York had voted the new church $500
add that now the society were only about $500
in debt, all OF which was very gratifying news.

Arb5r Day.

Wichita ought to have an annual 'Arbor
Day" Many towns and cities IN Kansas are
regularly, through their constituted auihori-
ties, setting apart special day, when, closing
up all business. everybody spends a day in
ornamenting their home surroundings by
planting out trees. Our people have shown
very conmendsble spirit in what has al
ready been done ia transferring our dry,
dusty streets Of to-day into long, cool. shady
avenues for the future, but still an "Arbor
Day. properly brought about, would de-
deyelope an emulation and rivalry that W ould
accomplish wonders 1t is not too late to
have our arbor DAY yet this spring.

Burned Out.

VIM. Elkins, who lives on claim across the
Minnesota, had his stable, team, harness, feed
everything, burned last Friday. Elkins is
without means TO support his family. He is
a worthy and industrious man and an effort
will be made to obtain means by subscription
to buy him an OK team. The wisest and best
charity is that which enables man 10 help
himself. Mr.. S. 4. Jocelyn will ask some of
our prosperous citizens to contribute to this
object, and We know they will be found
neither 10th nor ungcnerous.

The Texas Cattle Drive for 1877.

The great cattle markets o: the United
States have commenced to look more to Kan
sas than to any other one State for the figures
thar are to affect prices. Kansas not only
gets the credit for her own cattle. but for the
immense herds annually shipped from her
other markets. The Chicago Pries Current,
in speaking Of Kansas cattle. says; "Wc have
Tor some time been receiving 1lrst-class cattle
from Kansas, and, If we mistake not, this
State is to-day making more satisfactory pro-
gress in this direction than any other" From
that source we gather the following figures
with reference TO the Texas cattle drive for
the coming summer. These figures do not

All under this valley, for many miles each
side of the river, there is heavy. under
ground flow OF pare woter from the Rocky
Mountains, which is probably, to an extent,
supplied by the Arkansas river, but the great
er portion of which never was confined with
in the banks proper, o! the stream. Persons
who are not satisfied with the water obtained
from their drive wells, should lower their
pipes. Hundreds OF the wells of this vicinity
are not more than fifteen or twenty feet deep.
Such wells are liable TO be affected by surface
waters and impurities. The remedy is in a
greater depth A tube that is sunk from thir
ty-iiye to sixty feet can furnish none but the
purest water. At least no surface or yegeta-
bic impurities can ever sink TO that depth.
The temperature af the water Of many of the
shallow wells is affected by the weather, which

secured.
