1t may be unknown tO many OF the
readers of the "LAKE STAR" that In
our city where dwelleth alike the poet
and writers, also dwells our Sabbath
School originator.
Now, my dear readers, IL makes no
difference as to what our religious con-
victions are land there are numerous
doctrinal polntsin organized churches
at the present age Of the world), II we
strive to teach and to do that which
we KNOW to be right towards our fell
low-belng. After reading carefully
"Communicated," oflast weeks paper,
written by GLOVER Of Truth,"I would
say, being, as you say, mother of
three boys, do not, for the love of truth,
teach them to be boastfi.l, or in any
way to injure the feelings of their
friends or neighbors. Teach their young
minds to love their enemies, do good
to those who persecute them; pray for
those who despitefully use you, for my
sake. And again Christ says: "Judge
not, that YE he not judged" "And
why beholdest thou the mote that is
In thy brothers. eye, but conslderest
not the BEAM that Is In thine own
eye." AS my friend has quoted pas
sages of divine writing from the psalms
of David, and as the advice given me
is to read carefully the word of God, /
have done so, trusting It to have been
in an humble, christian-llke spirit.
David asked his question: "NNho
shall abide In thy tabernacle?" Ans
wer: "He that back biteth not with
his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neigh
Dor; nor taketli up reproach against
his neighbor." My inuch-injured
friend has made SAL bluntler In the
reading Of Scripture, found In the third
quotation given; but let it go for what
1t Is worth.
And further more, do have respect
for old age, though ! would say with
all reverence to ancient people, as you
have iired the first gun, | would again
call your attention to another QUOTA
ton of Holy Writ. Here IL Is. '"Lo,
the wicked bend their bows. They
make ready their arrows upon the
string that they may shoot at the up
right in heart" Now, "honor to whom
honor is due" IF the lady spoken of
as the cold mother" has done what she
could, give her praise for the labor of
love performed in the S. Schools; but
bear In mind, and let it bc understood,
that there are others, ladies of Nirvana,
who also, are among the first who
used their talent, time, money and I'M
fiuencc In the building up of the s.
School, to the honor and glory Of Christ.
They do not propo;e therefore, after
having b0urn the heat of the day; after
gaining the victory, to lay aside their
armor, and thereby lose all they have
gained. Simply because they do not
hold Offices, they will not submit to
compel their children to absent them
selves from the privilege of learning
from the Word of God. Most assured
ly not. "With malice towards none,
and charity for all" let us go on to per-
fectipn.

PINoRA, MICH, July 3lst 1878.
There was y fine growing shower
here this morning.
Lots of wheat out in the fields wet,
wet, wet.
There was slight of hand AMI Jug
lery and ventriloquist show; the show
ing was done by Won Vreeland and
was pronounced fine by those In attend
ance.
Who will be the lucky man to come
into the south of Pinora and north side
of Chase with good threshing ma
chine soon?

head. At the close, all knelt In prayer,
when the newly married pair arose
and returned to their respective seats
In the different divisions Of the congre-
CATION. It was certainly the most sim
pie marriage we ever witnessed, aud
was In full keeping with the primitive
manners Of this strange people.
At this point exhortations and sing
Ing commenced; and quite q number
were soon gathered about the rude al
tar, and prayers and shouts, assembled
In a volume of discord to the waiting
God of all. There were manifestations 8
OF the 'power," and exhibitions of APP
parent deepest quiet religious happi-
ness. AS u whole, Ii was similar In
action to scenes In revival meetings
among the whites of the more common
walks of life. Then followed the bap-
tism, by sprinkling, Of an aged Indian,
after which came season Of short
speeches from those newly converted,
interspersed with singing. The scene
was now one of those strong In the faith
rejoicing over and exhorting the new
ly converted to remain faithful. The
hand shaking, tears, shouts, laughter
and songs We're all mingled together In
the fulness of the hearts of the wor-
shippers.
1t was drawing towards midnight
when the closing exercises began.
Forming, "two and two" the ministers
leading, and the females bringing up
the rear, to the number of some $50 to
2W, they slowly marched twice around
the ground, ,singing,in Indian language;
the melody being strangely sweet aud
soul-inspiring-the hymn:
"Uh think OF the home over there,
By the side OF the river of light,
Where the saints all immortal aud fair,
Are robed In their garments OF white, &c.
Then, on reaching the altar I'm front of
the stand, the head of the procession
halted and faced towards the seats.
Those following shook hands with
those halted, with words of farewell;
each one falling In at the end after
passing the line, until complete cir
Gle was formed. The two missionaries
(Robins0n and Henry now stepped
forward to the center of the circle, and
the singing ceased. A few earnest
affecting words of exhortation, singing
the dox0logy, and beDediction closed
one of the most impressive scenes we
ever witnessed.
The decorum among the Indians was
something which many white people
who boast of their civilization and IN
telligence would do well to initiate.
While the fervency of spirit exhibited
at the camp meeting may not remain
In all cases, yet, who can say but that
good and lasting impressions were
made, which will necessarily result fa-
v0rably? For ourselves, we cannot but
feel higher estimation of the Indian
character than before. Although rude
In his manners and customs; who Is
prepared to say that even i'm his most
wayward mood he is not nearer his God
than the white man who sins In the
full light of his civilization and his in
tellect? OF him who has little, but lit
tie il required. OF him who has much,
more Is required ut his hands.

Assault and Battery.

The following is the statement of
County Clerk Towner, regarding the
assault upon him. 1t was handed to
us by Sheriff Oviatt, with Mr.. Towner's
request for publication: After stating
that the affair occurred Thursday, July
18th Mr.. Towner says that it was
In the highway opposite my farm,
at which place was mt work ON hay
rack, when suddenly was interrupted
by the sudden appearance of one Bob
Williams and his dog Sanck. will
say here that OIL Saturday prior, while
Mrs. Towner was passing along the
highway, and opposite Williams
shanty, she was attacked by said Will
liams, who ut the same time uttered
these words, addressing Mrs. Towner:
"You are q Cd id liarV Mrs. Colby
was present at the time and In COM
pany with Mrs. Towner. Williams
alleges as q reason for such action that
on the day before friday Mrs. Tow
ner charged his boys with stealing hay.
Mrs. Towner was informed by Mr..
Wheeler and Mr.. Colby, the persons
who were In my employ cutting hay,
that Williams boys came Into the hay
lot and took out an armfull Of hay, say
ing that this would pay for some rake
teeth which Towner owed them, or
words to that effect; and again remark
ing that they done it to tantnlize
Wheeler. Mrs. Towner says that her
self and Miss Holcomb met Williams
boys in the road opposite Mr.. Holcombs'
farm, on Friday, afore mentioned, and
said to them that they might expect
the Sheriff after them next week. Some
further words passed; one Of the boys
admitting that he did take n little hay.
I refer to this part Of the affair that you
may be advised of a reason or pretext
Williams had 10 perpetrate cowardly
act, which requires but few words To
relate. As Williams and cur approach

"Good morning!r replied, and asked
him why he addressed Language unbe-

He says, because she called them boys

idence that they took hay as alleged.

same time assuming q fighting attitude;
calling cur, Sanck, TO ''take himlp The

Good News fruIn BuhalO.

We are glad TO learn that the gigantic
experiment., DIR. X. V. Pierce's Invalid's
and Tourists Hotel, which many ofour
readers will remember as occupying a
conspicuous position in Hdrper's Week
ty Supplement Of June last, has proved
a most complete success; all Of which
reminds us that its founder, the dis
tinguished State Senator from the Erie
District, Is successful In the hotel busi-
ness as well as being q celebrated ply
sician and an efficient legislator. Judge
Hilton may well envy him. Those WHO
have enjoyed the elegant comforts Of
the Hotel, speak of 1t In the most en-
thusiastic terms. DIR. Picrce's Family
Remedies have occupied prominent
spaces In our columns for several years,
and have been used quite extensively
and with the utmost satisfaction by the
people of this vicinity.
