CHllRCH NOTES.

The discourse to young men, delivered last
Sunday evening by Rev. Thos. E. Gilbert, pas
tor of the NJ E. Church, was heard by large
congregation. The minister took for the text
of his discourse the 9th verse of the 1l9th
Psalm-''W ''Wherewithal shall young man
cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto accor-
ding to thy word" The leading idea of the
sermon was that youth cannot take, with safe
ty, any other guide than the Bible, and that
the precepts and admonitionS OF the sacred
volume should form the cornerstone upon
which to lay the foundation for usefulness and
integrity.
Yesterday was the first day of the lenten
season, and services appropriate to the occa-
sion were held in the Church of the Good
Shepherd Rev. R. P. Johnson, Rector.
DEATH OF A GOOD CoLoRED MAN.
On the 18th instant, Ralph White, colored,
died in this place, of pneumonia, aged 81
years. Ralph was an honest, upright, indus
triOus colored citizen, and as such commanded
the respect of all who knew him. Ralph was
born a slave, the property of DR.. Rice Rogers,
of Union county, S. G., and came to this place
year or two after emancipation. Soon after
he came here, he went in the employment OF
Mr.. S. A. McElwee and his brother William,
for one or the other of whom he worked stead
ily for thirteen consecutive years, during the
whole of which time he was never charged
with single day of lost time. One charac.
teristic of Ralph was his aversion to employ
ing himself as day laborer. He persisted in
working by the month, or contracting for a
whole year, declaring that working about by
the day was too much of a shiftless, vagabond
life. Althoughhe was mdemonstrative among
his people, yet by his quiet, honest department
and industrious habits, he set for them an ex,
annie worthy of imitation

ELOPEMENT.

The Spirit Lake Stage Dricer Elopes
'oith Another Man's WJe-He leares
u WIFI and Four Children. ~
Several days ago it was rumored a.
bout town that Johnston, the Spirit
Lake stage driver, had eloped with an
other mans wife. The Spirit Lake Bea-
con of Thursday last gives the particu-
lars Of the sad affair. James s. john
ston has lived at Spirit Lake some four
teen years with Il devoted wife who
bore him four children. The woman
with whom lie eloped was the wife Of
W. N. Dayis, well known in Dickinson
county, Iowa. They had been married
twelve years and her name up to the
time of the elopement was above sus-
picion. The Beacon gives the follow
ing account of the affair:
All the injured parties in this case
were entirely free from suspicion at the
time the elopement occurred. 1t is now
pretty clearly apparent, however, that
il criminal understanding between the
pair has existed for at least five or six
months, and that to this unrighteOuS
end the man Johnston was shaping his
business matters for the past quarter
or longer. lie recently disposed of his
livery stable and other loose property
with the avowed intention of moving
to Colorado. Ostensibly III pursuance
of this plan, jim some three weeks ago
started for Dakota to dispose Of some
horses. He visited Flandreau and 9TH
or points, returning to Worthington
Tuesday of last week, when he hired a
team and started for the country with
the stated object of buying wool-dress-
ed from head to foot in Beau Brummel
style. The team was quietly slipped
into the barn sometime during the
evening and considerable searching
failed to discover the truant james.
Mr.. W. n. Davis and wife formerly
lived in the Tusculum settlement, and
for about Is months lived ON II. L.
Twiford's farm, ut Round Lake, which
has for years past been the noon stage
station on the Worthington mail route.
n few weeks since lie was employed by
Johnston to drive on the daily stage
line from this place to Sibley, and was
to make the weekly trips to Worthing-
ton to see his wife and look after mat
ters 1T the farm. lie went out last
Monday, as usual and found his home
deserted. Gaining information that
cast suspicion on Johnston he went on
to Worthington where inquiry confirm
ed his worst fears. Evidence beyond

distance interviewed between the fleeing
couple and their disgraced homes.
Mrs. Davis WAS loved and respected
by {; large circle of friends. She is
about 81 years of age, of rather prepos-
sessing appearance, and remarkably
bright, genial nature. AS far as we can
ascertain, no unkind suspicion has ever
obtained against her, and she was
among the very last of whom such
record as that of lie past week might
have been expected. We fear an over
weaving ambition tempted her to a
path whose steps take hold on hell.

Il Reply to "Coto''-Picture of 7orn
arhich Enjoys q German Brewery un0
Saloons.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Lest you might
be inclined to take the advice of s'Ca-
to-" would like to give you pen pic
ture Of one city i'll Minnesota which is
enjoying all the advantages he urges
and still is not prosperous, viz: Taylor's
Falls, MIMI, where it was my good for
tune to spend the last week in May.
There they have Il good German Brew
cry and a saloon to each 100 inhabitants
in the city, whose settlement dates ear
lier than st. Paul, surrounded by a fine
body of hard wood, fine farming lands
well improved, situated ut the head of
steamboat navigation on the st. Croix
River with fine water power and one
of the finest places for Summer Resort
in the State, a fine hotel well kept and
the frontier town for outiitting for the
immense pine forests above and adja-
cent to the river. Now, Cato" would
naturally suppose this to be Il most
ilourishing town with all these advaut-
ages to back it. But alas! What is
the case? The town is dead, onlv wait
ing to be buried, or rs they say. waiting
for u railroad to make them all rich.
Their saloons are well patronized.
They go the rounds, take a drink. a
game of billiards or cards, discuss the
chances OF u railroad, step down to the
river and see the millions of logs float
past them unlnolested. Not a log is
saved or Il b,lshcl of wheat ground in
the town. \ OF u new building. roof.
shingle-boarl, or fence is to be seen in
town. And not u board, single or
lath is kept on sale. If II coffin is want
ed an order is sent to Marine Mills, Is
miles below and the next steamer brings
it up, and their supply OF flour comes
from Wisconsin. They have some fine.
staunch, good men, who have tried hard
to build up the town and have crippled
themselves by SO doing. The dead
weights Were too heavy for them. The
Dalles House WAS honored the same
week with the company of one of Wis
consin's Circuit Judges whom newspa-
per men delight to puff. He didn't
have over one fit of delerium tremens

LETTER FROM c. T. LANCDON.
EDITOR ADVANCE: An article ap-
peared in the Journal Of June 10. pub
fishing a communication from D. Rohr-
er commenting on the late trials of the
cider question. Mr.. II. has as usual,
perverted the truth. 1 take his asser-
tions in the order in which they appear.
ignoring those entirely irrevel:lnt. |
would lie glad to have him bring for
ward one woman whose husband, son
or brother came home night after night
drunk on cider, and defy him to pro-
duce any reputable person who will
swear he got intoxicated on my cider.
Mr.. Crever was taken to Mr.. II. s Of
fee only the day before the arrest by
Mr.. Loveless and questioned by them.
Why did not Mr.. II. use one OF the 9th
er four complaints which lie says he
had.
The next item we notice, 'that fair
warning had been given, "etc, is !; pure
unadultrated fulschood. One more.
lie says, Il have in my possession the
letter from the shipper recommending
the cider as fixed up to suit the com
munity.'" l will pay twenty-five dol
lars for a sight of IA letter from the firm
of whom obtained my cider stating or
meaning any such thing. it's postal
card stolen from me and Mr.. r. has
perverted the language as he has the
facts. Now for the faIlacy of the state
ment that the cider was mixed with
liquor. Mr.. s. G. white, of Winona, Il
sensible business man, sold me the CT
der for five and one-l!alf dollars per bar
rel. The price of the barrel anywhere
is one dollar. Now, you can figure how
much whisky or any other liquor could
have been mixed with it.
