MORE NAUGHTY MINSTRELS,
another Clergyman in a TGntrs1,,s Over an
Church Concert.


another Clergyman in a. TGntru,,e Over an
Chassch Concert.
New York Starr
Clerical eccentricities are as the sands of
the sea. No sooner has the sensation created
by Rev. Mr.. Daily of Newark by getting into
tantrum over troupe of negro minstrels
partially spent itself, than another. of. the
same ilk comes to hight close upon its heels.
Another sensitive gentleman of the cloth has
beef. seriously shocked, and another troupe
is remanded to the limbo of the sa ,rilegious.
The bone of contention is as follows: The
Episcopalians of the pleasant little village of
Arlington, in Hudson county, have been CIV
ing lectures and concerts to raise funds for
building house of worship. They obtained
the Methodist church, of which Rev. Mr..
Crawford is pastor, for a concert in the latter
part of October. Everybody was satisfied
with the affair because it was financial sue
cess-everybody but Rev. Mr.. Crawford.
This gentleman startled his congregation
two Sundays ago by announcing that the
church had been desecrated by the concert,
and that it was necessary to exercise the
ediice before religious services could be held
there.
Mr.. Crowford then asked the trustees to
come forward and assist in rededicating the
church. But the trustees refused. So Mr..
Crawford performed the ceremony alone.
After the ''Amen,'' Squire Fickel, one of
the trustees, rose to explain.
j 81 was Methodist said the Squire,
'sbefore many members of this church were
born. I saw nothing at the concert that
could be objected to by any reasonable man.
As the action of the pastor reflects upon me-,
Ishall re. ign my position as trustee" This
speech caused lively excitement.
During the week the trustees held a meet
ing. Not wishing the scandal should spread,
they decided to let the matter drop. The
Methodist church is the only place of wor-
ship in Arlington. Persons of all denomina-
tions contributed to its erection. The gen.
eral sentiment among the villagers is that
the Methodists should take their turn in as
sisting the Episcopalians, and that the stand
taken by Mr. Crawford savors of narrow
mindedness: y .~ers, 3o
The reverend gentleman says that portions
of the entertainment, notably the dialect
performances by negro, Dutch and Irish
comedians, were highly sacrilegious, and
that it was an absolute necessity that the
church should be rededicated before it could
be used as house of worship,

Will the Valley of the Red River of
the North be the great wheat field of the
future9 A writer answers this question
by showing that the wheat raised in that
valley this year commands the hi CHEST
price of all raised on our soil, that the
increase~in population hes been 81 rapid
that the whole valley along the line of
the railroad is already almost continuous
wheat-feld, and that beyond it lie vast
regions whose soil and climate are be-
lieved to be even better adapted to the
cultivation of grain. The progress Of this
section is most gratifying. This year
more than 5000 FARMS counting 100
acres to each person, have been taken
along the line of the Northern Pacific
Railroad; last year nearly as many were
taken, and next year the number will
doubtless be greater,

Hokah Blade: A religious revival will soon

years ago, it will be remembered, an exciting

newly converted few the trask and sswent

they had been converted by the melodious
strains of the tsrevivalist's'' voice and not
BY the help of Jesus. Ministers, like all
other men, should be tested before they are
trusted too far, and by experience our citi-
zens should know this to be fact.

neighbors the horses were released, and II
was with difficulty that they could stand,

At a regular meeting Of Nonpariel
Lodge, No. Sc, /. o. G. T., held on the
evening Of March 1S, 1878, the following
resolutions were adopted unanimously
by a rising vote:
WHEREAS, The Grand Templar OF
the universe has by the messenger OF
death summoned Mrs. NJ. J.. Wallace,
who was always a consistent, earnest,
and faithful laborer and cO-worker in
the cause of temperance, to appear be-
fore the grand lodge Of the unknown
world; aud

Sc, and always first in the path Of duty
In looking after its interests and well
fare; and

prosperity OF Nonpareil Lodge in it,
darkest days is due, in the greatest
measure, to her untiring efforts and la
bors in its behalf; therefore be it
ResOlCed, That in the death OF Mrs.
NJ. +. Wallace the cause of temperance
has lost a firm and faithful friend, and
the community a kind, generous, and
charitable member, and we extend TO
her grief-stricken relatives and friends
our most heartfelt sympathy in the loss
they have sdstained by her demise, and
though We mourn with them in their

the bright consolation that as she has
crossed the dark waters of the river Of
death TO the echoless shore and entered
in "the temple not made with hands,
Where the beauty never waneth.
And the brightness never dies.'
She was crowned with wreaths of i'm
mortal glories, and received from the
hands Of the Supreme Templar the re-
wards due those who labor sincerely,
earnestly, and faithfully in the cause Of
suffering humanity; be it further
ReSOlUed, That, as a mark Of respect
