"PaN John WsLIia1lss." !"

At a church prayer meeting not far
from Boston, a man whose credit was
not the best, and who was somewhat no.
ted for his failure to meet his obligatioraa
arose TO speak. The snhject for the even
ing was: "Wha. shall do to be saved?
He paused, aud again more emphatic..l-
ly asked the question:: "What shall do
to be savei?" Again. with increased
sOlemnity and impressiveness of manner
he repeated the momentous inquiry
when q voice from the assembly in a
clear and distinct tones answered, "GO
and pay John Williams tor that yoke of
oxen you bought OF him!" The remsin-
der of the gentleman's address was not
reported. All present appreciated the
fitness of the unexpected " ord in season
and were saved from hearing lergtby
exortation from a swind er's lips. The
incident has led US to think that there
are a good many people who, before
they make much progress In walking
the way of salvation themselves. or
guiding others therein will have to "Go
and pay John Williams" or John some
boiy else, the money that they honestly
owe them. There is no man shrewd
enough to pursue a course of dishonesty
and trickery, and still retain the favor
of God In this world, or good hope of
glory for the world to come. 1t is best
to settle up, square up, and pay up, and
then it will be in order to talk in the
prayer meeuDg.-Ex. :,

Case DIS IN Used.

On the return OF District Attorney Wv
ion, from the Yellowstone last week. the
case of Phillip Skechan, reference to which
was made in last weeks COURIER, was
promptly dismissed, there not being suffi-
'cient evidence, it is said, upon which to
predicate prosecution. The entire mat
Ter appears to have been instigated by the
notorious Fox, now in the county Jail, who
perhaps, had particular spite against the
landlord of the Laclede hotel for refusing
t. board and lodge him without pay, pre-
vious to his arrest 1T all events, Fox ap-
pears to have done considerable cOniidcn
1ial talking, all of which, however, he re-
fused to testify to under oath. Probably
the only mistake made, was in paying any
attention TO one so utterly unprincipled
and Enthusiastically.

TIE GREAT FIELD TRIAL OF SELF.
BINDERS.

According 70 previous announcement
the great field trial of the tar-faned anC
justly celebrated selt-binders came of at II
Brunett's ranch, about three miles north.
west of town, on Tuesday last. Three
splendid self-binding reaping machines,
viz: the Woods, McCOrmick's and Os-
borne's, entered the field and engaged in
abe contest tor golden opinions, renown
and glory. About forty men were present,
most of whom appeared to be particularly
interested, either in the success of their
Avorite machine, machine agent, or the ef-
fects OF lemonade with the Thermometer
W degrees in the Shade. Not wishing to
be hard on the "boys," however, we must
admit that we did not see a single drop of
The cooling beverage, so that everybody
was dry and sober as judge, although no
Judges were appointed to decide on the rel
alive merits of the respective machines. As
there appeared to be no particular rules or
regulations agreed upon as to the number
oil machines to be entered ana run, and
no president or committee either to mike
"ut cgrammc or render verdict, every
person resolved himself into a committee
vi one, to think and act for himself
Inc place of operations was field Of
o"'s' rank and heavy, quite green in places,
anu Wililal, somewhat wee,ly. After lit
We parleylng between the representatives
oi 'ile machines, it was decided that each
machine should strike boldly into the stand
'ns grain, at different points, and lay OIL its
own land. This was done in very hand
some style, and, upon the whole, each ma
.'''''e appeared TO do its work well, and
he'etaily, we think. TO the satisfaction of
''e agents as well as the spectators.
ABOUT an acre of grain was cut and bound

From the Bismarck Tribune, 9th inst.
Sitting Bull has been taught there's Miles
between him and the Missouri.
The family of Major McElrath, of the
Tetio,cs'one Journal, will go up to Miles
City on the Bachelor. They are direct
from New York.
The engineering party of the Northern
Pacific Railroad will leave here OH a steam
err about the Nth, for Glendiye, on the Vel
lowstone. A company of soldiers, with
six mule teams, will accompany them.
This party will locate the line of the Mis-
souri, Division east from the Yellowstone
river. This movement shows the earnest
ness of the Northern Pacific management.
The steamer Gen. Sherman left yester-
day morning at daylight for the upper
Missouri. She received her unexpected
orders Thursday evening, and with mill
tary dispatch provisioned and otherwise
prepared for her secret mission. The cap-
tain received no intimation of the duty he
was to perform. He will probably find
that out when he reaches Buford or Fort
Peck. A dispatch from Stevenson says
the Sherman passed there hast evening,
making the fastest time ON record from
Bismarck to that point,-fifteen hours and
itty-five minutes. She only has half
crew, the rest having struck here when
he was pulling out.
