had sung : few songs, and the audi

nounced tho fact that he was Secretary OF
the NJ. E. Church Extension Society, and
that he proposed then and there to raise

thought he would be successful; but he
was: He and the Rev. Mi. starkey make
q "full team" They raised that evening
. subscription of 81 1,015 and q basket col.

missed at 1880 astonished at its own
ac!ion.
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, Elder

Village and organized a Methodist church,
with the following board of trustees: I.
G. Wade, Ns. John Vennum, J. T. Bush.
o. A. Boynten, r. NJ. Wins]ow.
By the time the train went west on
Saturday to Bismarck, Mr.. starkey had
increased the subscription to $1,365. .0e.
Plans and specifications will be in town

Last Friday afternoon the eossipine
portion of our little city was aroused from
q drowsiness of several weeks standing
by rumor to the effect that female
claiming to DO the genuine Mrs. Henry
Burgenthall had arrived from Milwaukee.
This little circumstance would have in no
way effected the public nerve had in not
been generally known that Mr.. B. had
been living with woman IL this vicin-
ity during the past two years, whom every
one had learn to consider a. the only and
lawful Mrs. Burgenthall. But alas. twas
not So As soon as the affair reached the
ears Of the Alert, it took steps 10 ascertain
the true facts In tho case.
It would appear that MI. B. had been
married to Mrs. B. No. !, some 6vc
years before coming to this Oountry and
that these i've years Of welded bliss, q It
is sometimes called, was spsnt IN Mil.
waukee; during which time two children
we're born. After the third year Of their
unfortunate union things seslnsd to take
cross.grained course and the guardian
angel Of peace ceased 70 roost over their
hymeuial couch. Az We proceed to un.
fold the unsavory tale OF domestic we,
We 1earn that Mrs. B. had faculty Of max.
ing 1t domestically unpleasant for Mr.. B.
She took delight in raising hi generally
and rendering oil within the precincts Of
his earthly habitation wretched. Henry
was a meek man, submissive md humble.
He longed for contentment. 30 at the
close of the fifth year he gave Mrs. B. all
he possessed in this wide, wide world with
the understanding that she would never
trouble him again He did mot have it
put in writing and there is where
he made mistake. He "sklpped" and
fetched up in this county about two years
ago. Alone! Nay gentle, reader, not so.
BE was disciple of the christian fratern.
ity and had read, no doubt, now it was
not good for man to live alone and dare
not try it; 20 he brought with him q
mistress whom he unblushinaly succeed
in palming of on the denizens Of this vir.
tious county as the only tying Mrs. B.
Since Mr.. B's abscondatios, from his
Milwaukee helldom, his lawful partner
and maniphlator of his lucreal possessions,
has put in : portion sf her tffde- floating
among her relatives in different parts Of
Wisconsin aud Minnesota; but she got
lonesome without any one to love her or
pet her when she had the headache: So,
a. we have already stated, came to see her
long lost Henry. But when she found him
adulterously attached to new love, she
dried up her lamentations, threw up
breastworks and declared war. The strug.
gle was short and she won, as usual. Mr..
B. promised to pay her so much month
to 60 away and let alone, and she did it.
We understand that Mr.. B. and his un.
lawful wife are still clinging to each other.

ably filed the school house last Friday
evening to hear his lecture on the bright
Side Of Life in Libby Prison" Now,
most of Us had entertained the idea that
there was no bright side to it, but the elo.
queut Chaplain convinced us that there
was such thing as having real fun even
in such place as Libby. Want of space
forbids US entering upon an extended no.
+ tice. There were many serious and many
funny episodes related. A remarkable
coincidence as related by the Chaplain
was that as the guard was hauling down
. Union flag which the prisoners had
made out of old shirts, At the same hour
of the same day the rebel flag was being
hauled down at Vicksburg. We admire
the Independence Of the chaplain, and al
though many Of his remarks were of the
stalwa-t order, man who has endured
the horrors of Libby and fought for the
old flag, has in our judgment right to
preach ''strong doctrine whenever he
wants to. One fine feature of the enter.
tainment was the splendid singing both
before and after the lecture.
