The new counterfeit silver dollar in
circulation is pronounced by the sub
treasury the best silver coin ever seen.
1t IS beautifully made, and has slight
appearance of iro3, which is often found
in the genuine standard dollar. It is silver
plated, and acid does not effect it unless
the surface Is scratched up. The weight
is the marvellous point in the deception.
The counterfeit as it stands would pass
in size easily, aud its weight would moi
be detected on any but fine scale. The
date upon it is 1878.-E1.
1t is reported to US that an Iowa man
largely IN the creamery business, has pur.
chased $4,000 bushels Of the growing crop
of corn, paying in advance therefor the
sum of $25, 900, or SOC. per bushel. The
corn is to be taken at the cribs of the
farmers. 1t has not been bought for spec.
ulatlve purposes, but IS to be fed to dairy
COWS. The gentleman is thoroughly post
ed as to the condition and prospective
yield of corn both in Iowa and Illinois,
and is convinced that those who purchase
corn late will have to pay at least 75c. per
bushel.-F01.m1srs' Reuse,0.

AUSTIN, MINNESOTA:
the PRESIDENT DEAD!

The President is dead. His prolonged
suffering terminated In death last Mon
day night at thirty Ave minutes past ten
O'Clock. Long Branch, where he hao
been taken for the benefit of the ocean
breezes, will now be more memorable Is
the place where President Garfield Weld
cd up his soul to God than ever the fash
ionable throngs of that celebrated sum.
mer resort could make it. Amid circle
of anxious friends and relatives hoping
against hope; within the sound of
the ocean waves surging upon the
beach; and almost in the arms of the no
BILE and courageous wife, who has waited
upon him with care ceaseless and untir-
ing, he calmly breathed his last, dying
of exhaustion and weakness
The event Is not unexpected, and the ma.
ton is prepared for the news. Yet it re-
calls with startling dls,inctness the horror
Of the assassination, and calls up afresh
all the pain and suffering of the past te-
dious days and weeks. That the President
has died by the hand Of an assassin is as
deeply lrealized as though the shot had
been instantly fatal, and the sorrow Of the
nation is no less deep and sincere. In
deed, 1t is intensified BY the Presidents
heroic endurance and by the Illustration
of the hope that has cheered the nation
during the interval. The countless pray
ers that have been offered up in his be-
half have been answered by an inscruta
BILE Providence 10 way unhoped for, butt
no doub: for the best; and from him who|
is new with his God, We turn our prayers|
and attention 10 the stricken family sndI
mourning nation.
Vice President Arthur was quite trok-
down by the news A telegram FROM
the cabinet officially announcing the
death Of the President and urging him to|
take the oath OF Office without further de-
lay was received at twelve O'Clock, and at!
three o'clock in the morning he was du-|
ly sworn in as President of the United
States
1t is quite objectionable to mention the|
wretched Guiteau in this article, and his
probable fate. But we bespeak him al
just trial, and denounce all the foolish
talk of mobbing. According to the laws
of New Jersey, he must be tried in that
state, and hanged, if found guilty. Wei
trust that he will get justice wherever heI
be tried, and in legal way.
And Garfield! We bid you last, fondI
good.by, believing that you are now with
Washington and Lincoln in the realms of
rest and peace.

The following pastoral labor has been be-

among the people. have attended all the
prayer meetings and led them, and have given
exhortations at many. I have taught every

led it often. have preached twice every
Sunday, when in Austin, except Quarterly
Meeting Sundays and three others, and on
Quarterly Meeting days, have preached
more sermons at home and other charges,
than the Presiding Elder has preached for me.
Besides this, held four weeks protracted
meeting, in Austin, and attended q union
meeting, and assisted there. Ihave also been
called since last Conference to attend thirty
two funerals, to twenty.nine Of which I re-
sponded. Some of these cost me between
thirty and forty miles each, of travel, taking
from early morning to evening. I have bap-
tized twenty adults and children, and have
married eight couples; attended three school
pic-nics and made two speeches, and have
attended all the church sociables, believe,

lences and taken collections for the same.

All this work of body and soul has been
performed in the fear Of God and for the
welfare Of humanity.

received among the people; and with all
