OF the M. E. Church congregation
OF that place. 1t is good one, costing
at reduced rates nearly one hundred dol

balance will be easily raised by concerts
and socials. An excellent choir has been
organized, and is under the efficient man
agement of Mr.. A. Voigt, to whom gre at
credit is due in the work of securing the
organ. But few weeks since they gave
Rev. W. Teal, who is preaching to them
once in two weeks, Sunday afternoons, a
donation of over sixty dollars, which was
duly appreciated. They are kind heart
ed and generous people, and deserve..suc-
cess in their efforts for the moral and

The committee on claims, to whom
was referred the bill making an appro-
priation to the Wisconsin Central Fair
have agreed to report in favor of appro-
priating the sum of $500. The bill as
originally introduced called for 1000,
but a compromise was effected between
the members of the committee and Mr..
Stone by cutting down the bill one half
on the theory that half loaf was better
than none at all. The prospect for the
passage of the bill as amended is good.
Messrs. Bennett and Stone are doing their
best to secure its passage, and both being
influential members of their respective
houses we need not say that it is highly
probable that the appropriation will be
secured.

aE,rfphtening Invalids. !,

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted
with pectoFal disease should be supported by
every assurance OF cure, not alarmed by
the gloomy, forebodiug conntenanees of those
that consumption is incurable, and let physi.
clans theorize as they will, we have a mass
of evidence to prove that persons having all
