The bell for the new church came
last Saturday morning and the same day
| was put In position and mounted ready
for use. 1t weighs 1000 pounds, has a
satisfaction. In this connection we
may say that the frescoing ofthe church
was finished some days ago, the wood
work completed and nothing remains
but the furniture, the seating, which is
being made elsewhere, and the stained
glass for the windows, to make 1t COM
plete.
Mr.. Lamson, Of York tp., on Tues
day last becoming spiritually enthused
concluded to change the muddy roads
for the walk, and took down through
the Park and on past Mr.. Benefits,
turned into Mr.. Spicer's gate backed
out and took the walk west again to
the corner, then south again, all the
time urging his horse to its best efforts,
and finally brought up against post
in front of Mr.. Ccuch's making wreck
of the buggy, but not injuring himself
or the horse. By this time the Marshal

"A very pleasant hour was spent at
the NJ. E. church parlors last Wednes-
day evening, the occasion being one of
business and pleasure. A goodly num-
Der were present and an excellent sup
per served by the ladies, interlarded
with good feeling and lively chat put
all in the best humor., One Of the neat
things done was the presenting to Mr..
w. S. Franks the sum Of $25 in neat
speech by Rev. N. s. Albright. Mr..
Franks was called on for. aspeech but
after a momentarya hesatation. excused
himself, appointing SIr. Albright to the
Office, who responded in his pleasantest
vein, after which by urgent request, Mr..
Franks sang s'Nearer My God to Thee"
in very affecting and pleasing man

"A very much larger audience than
has been present at any of the former
lectures In the "Bell Fund Course" as
sembled to hear Ex-Governor Axtell ,on
Friday evening lsst describe the inhabi-
tants, soil. climate and productions of
New Mexico. He started out by saying
that he was not n public speaker or lee
turer, knew nothing of the art Of oratory
and was only plain. practical man of
affairs who had travelled and seen some
things new aud strange to us, about
which he desired to tell US. He then
proceeded in Q very interesting way to-
give us an account Of his observations
and experience in that 70 the average
American almost unknown land. The
lecture was listened to with interest to
the close and to say that 1t was by far
the most Instructive and enjoyable Of
the course thus far would only be to
express the almost unanimous senti-
ment Of the audience present. II there
are any more like him who can't lee
ture send them along and Wellington
will give them hearty welcome. All
who know Gov. Axtell speak with
emphatic commendation of his course
while in Congress asrepresentative from
California and also as Governor Of Utah
and New Mexico.
we have just learned that Amos $
Billings former resident Of yelling
ton committed suicide Nov. Goth, 1878,
In Mich. where he has been staying for
few months past, having spent part
state. He had intimated to some of his
friends that ON account of domestic in
felicity he was tired of life and thought
he should sometime help himself cut of
it. He was undoubtedly insane.
Since the above was put in type, a
letter has been received from Mr.. Bill
lings by his wife, which is the only
authcn:ic instance of departed spirits
comm anicating with friends on this
side Of the river. We have seen the
letter and other letters written previous
to his reported death and also the card
signed by a Mr.. Davis reporting his SUI
icide. The handwriting in all Is iden-
tically the same, showing that Mr.. Di-
Wis is only Mr.. Billings double. audthat
the latter retains his peeuliarities even
IN the other world, and in sentiment,
thought and expression Mr.. B, In the
flesh and Mr.. B. in the spirit ar as
near alike as two peas. We had settled
it In our hearts that Mr.. B. was dead
and buried, but now our confidence Is
shaken and we are not happy.
