THE HERALD will have its 'wn
European correspondent. Those Who
cannot go to the Worlds Fair the
great exhibition held this summeg at
Paris-can hear from it by letters
written there and sent specially to
this paper. Perhaps only one or ewo
OF these letters will be written from
the Exposition. Our correspono ent
will sail from New York one week
from next Monday, and will visit the
noted places of Europe, such as the
Giants Causeway, Glasgow, the
Scottish Lakes, Melrose Abbey, Edin-
burgh, London and vicinity, Brigh on.
Belgium, Cologne, up the Rhine,
Bonn, Frankfort-on-the. Main, He lei
berg, Baden-Baden, Wiesbaden,
Strasburg, Switzerland, the Jura Alps
aud through France. His letters will
cover fields that cannot fail to yield
varied and great harvests for thought
and entertainment The letters will
be written by no ordinary hand. The
writer and traveller will be Prof. o T..
Burchard, of Fredonia, MY, formerly
and for several years editor OF the
New York State Educational Journal,
and for many years largely contrib
utor to -~Setslhaer publications, including
Scri6ner's Monthly nine years ne
has been instructor in the State Nor
NAL School at Fredonia. He has
visited Europe before and will thus
be better prepared for writing han
one making first visit. The first of
these letters may not appear until the
latter part of July. We make this
previous announcement as much for
the readers benefit as our own. A
little previous reference to the geo gra-
ply and history OF the points of travel
will make the letters more enjoyable
and useful.

l.. J. WEBB shot and killed one
Jay Page, in Winfield, Kansas, the
fore part of last week. Page kept a
gambling place. Webb was there.
Page won his money and Webb
seemed distressed about it. Page
threatened to shoot Webb. Then Webb
watched his opportunity and shot
Page. This L. J.Webb is son Of va
g. Webb, formerly and for several
years in the. Legislature of this State
from Waushara county. The ger eral
impression is that w. G. Webb and
progeny are pests and ought 10 be
exterminated, yet strangely erough
people are very ready to take up uch
nuisances and give them office--e v-
erywhere and in all parties except in
Grant county. Grant must look out
that it does not take the fever.

The Nj. T.. Church.

CIIucI AN ABOVE neHulny q C1fU wa!
published in the last weeks Times, signet
Members of the Church," which contain
ed the following sentence: 1--WE. as Meth
odists, deeply regret that our church aftel
having. been dedicated to God. should b.
so desecrated by the PRONUNCIATION of Inf
del doctrine, as in the lecture recently de
livcred by W. Allcrson.''
On inquiry. we have learned that there
are over twenty members in good standing
in the NJ. f. Church in Bozeman, and We
have satisfied ourselves that nineteen out
of that twenty did not sign the card above
mentioned. Indeed, we have sifted the
matter down so close that we are satisfied
that not more than one member Of the
church signed the letter, if it was signed
ut all; of which we entertain very serious
doubts.
The majority Of the members Of the
church in this place are iIonOrafJfe pe1SUay.
to their credit be it said; and would not lie
guilty Of thus disappearing the sentiment
of a. large majority of the members of the
Church,
The author Of this card knows as well as
we, that the NJ. E. Church has never been
dedicated to God" any more thun one OF
the halls OF this place, and that it will be i'm
possible to dedicate it while there is debt
hanging over it and the house unfinished.
Had ! c attended the NJ. +. Church o,
the evening he speaks of, he would have
known that VIM. w. Anderson did not
preach an Infidel doctrine-did not preach
Il word that the VI. Z. Church can reason
ably object to. If he had, we nre aware
that there are several peso who would
be only too glad to prefer charges against
him and have linn expelled from the
church. But they know he has not said
for which I've is justly censurable,
although they ''deeply regret tina: the
beautiful and affectionate doctrine of''TOtal
was very roughly handled.
They do not see where they and their
friends can be classed with that doctrine
gone, and labor to preserve it from mo-
tives of self-preservation-Or in vindica-
ton Of their own well known characters.
VIM. w. Anderson being called an Infitlel
is only another case where people are of
wrong and get two Aldersons mixed. The
editor Of this paper has been often taken
for Christian, although we do not remem-
Der having said anything that would
lead the people to form such an erroneous
and perhaps VIM. w. Anderson
Is taken for an Infidel in the same way.
Now let the cowardly, lying author Of
the card referred to come out from behind
his screen and let the people Of Bozeman,
yes, let the world know how many of the
of the Methodist church in this
place ''deeply regret" that the church was
&c. ''desecrated by the PRONUNCIATION OF In
idel doctrine" We will guarantee that
The Times editor cannot furnish the name
If two persons who signed the card and
hat he knew he was lying when he pub
ished the card as eminating from members
Of the church. If he can. let us know
who they are; then the people can Judge
low much their opinion is worth.
