Of sickness, and could recall nothing in
the past, has lately died. Strange to tell,

death, apparently in good health, he en-
gagged in prayer at family worship and
prayed especially for each child and his
wife, calling each by name. He had not

JUDGE JOSEPH HUB ER's iron clad work
at the Jail is again "vindicated. The
prisoners who cut off the bolt heads and
removed the plating had nearly as much
trouble in boring through the iron sheet
ing as in pulver;zing the stone wall. The
lynx-eyod watchman found it all out
after they had been at work several
months-by the sewer clogging up with
the masonry that was displaced. If the
convicts were employed half as earnestly
at work as they exercise themselves in
cutting through the stone and iron walls,
maybe the manufacturing department
could be made to pay.

not answered. believe that He makes all
things work together for the good of the
human race, and of me, among the rest,

He will answer my prayer, not according

it that if desire good shall find good,
