his hat round his head in most enthusiastic
way, pitched forward and away he went, heels

where I. W. Parker and Elliot King addressed
the good sized audience that had collected.

argument to show the need of distinct Pro-

Congress St. Church, Portland, preached a
| very able and interesting discourse from John
IA: S-"Philip saith uuto him, Lord, show as
| the Father and it sutficeth u.s." The text sug.

essential to mans happiness. The world is in
sufficient to afford contentment to the soul
which Christianity alone can give. This
knowledge of God can be gained in the follow
ing manner: The study Of Gods works, the
study of Gods word, the daily providences of
God and knowledge Of Christ, who is the
clearest manifestation of God.

Officer Lynched.

The Advertiser says there is an unpleasant
rumor that Mr.. Watson, city marshal OF Lead
vile, and formerly of tn is city has been lynch
ed for shoe ting woman. The news comes by
Boston parties just arrived.
Mr.. Watson was deputy sheriff Of Portland
two years sgo, at which time he left this city
to be come under sheriff of Leadville. The re-
port is that a man was killed in crowd when
the firing was promiscuous, when Watson took
part, and that he was charged with shooting
the woman, but that this charge was the result
of political feeling and entirely unfounded.
The report of Mr.. Watson's death does not OBJ
tain credence.
