tCdftespondence Of the Stathtoh VmDIcAruR.J
Religious United Brethren Con-
ference convened In their handsome Chap
81 on Saturday afternoon, Presiding Elder,
Howe. occupying the Chair Ali of the
appointments were well represented. and
very, favorable reports were made. We lis
tened to splendid sermon from the Pre-
siding Elder on Saturday night. Sunday
morning the Sacrament of the Lord g Sup
per was administered. On Sunday night
the house was filed to its utmost capacity,
when Mr.. Howe preached another excel
lent sermon. This is the beginning of .
series of meetings that will perhaps be
continued for weeks. We are informed
that Rev. Mr.. Hswe will remain and as
sist Mr.. Evers during the meeting.
The Weather.-The sudden fall of the
mercury from sixty to twenty has caused
the smile to return to some countenances
which we had almost despaired Of ever
assuming pleasant appearance again.
We are rejoiced Ut the change. not only for
their sakes and the welfare Of ice and full
dealers. but also to get rid OF the continual
eroakings aud complaints concerning the
weather. On Tuesday evening and night
pretty snow of about four inches fell on q
very hard frozen ground, and consequently
will, no doubt. remain for some time. Our
gallant lads are embracing the opportunity
and are slsigh.riding their "Dulcineas del
Toboso' with vengeance.
The Old Sign.-It may be gratifying to
some. perhaps. to learn that the old relia-
bic weather perpendicular, formerly
known as Mr.. Ground Hog. who resides
in Mother Earth, came forth from his
sahctum sanctorum 1t one O'Clock on
Tuesday and Sol's bright rays being 90 OBJ

colnely form. in the shape of shadow.
sxuntered forth In quest 1T nubbin Of
corn to satiate the cravings of his internal
dominion, and by extending his perambu-
lations too far mad his fifth rib caved in
aud his dofsal vortebra severed by the sud-
den contraction Of pair Of canine ptery-
gold muscles. Hence NO more trouble
about tho weather.

The DEATH OF VIM. F. GoRDoN.-The-
death of Will. F. Gordon, former depot
and express agent at Goshen, by his gun
kicking him in the abdomen, in Texas,
was noticed last week. A letter from
young man who was present gives the fol-
lowing sad particulars of his death and
burial -
Gordon was going duck hunting by moon
light. He took down his gun and walked
ont the door to shoot tue old load out. He
held it in one hand in front of him ana
fired one barrel. One Of the herders saw
him stagger, but he took hold of . tres,
Strengthened up and nspped a cap on bes
other barrel. He walked back into the
house and set the gun down before com:
planning OF pain. But from that time UNI
til he died. from about seven O'clock the
evening OF the 18th, uni il that Of the 18th.
about IL O'Clock, he suffered intense pain.
He did not seem to think he would die
He was very nervous q d part of. the time
was out of his head. sat up with him
two nights, and WAS wi q him until within
Two hours and y half OF his death the third
night. Modification set in 30 soon IT was
Impossible to move the body, even SO taI
as the Fort, We buried him the night OF
the 3Oth at eleven o'clock, by moonlight.
1t was the most weird and frOntier-lke
funeral ever witnessed. The grave is on.
the bank of little hollow In front OF Nc
Kecbnie's house. The coffin is OF the plain
est pine but was the best to be had here.
There ere but FIVE men present, save my

quired either in lowering the coffin or fill
ing up the grave. 1 hired man to put a
wall of rock around the grave. two feet
high and to cover it with large slabs Of

little respect to the remains Of dear
friend, but this is rough country and !
