mad and shot one through the body, another
through the moth, knocking out four teeth
and cutting off part of his tongue, and another
through the thigh. The first will probably
die. Larkin escaped.

The Montana horses are very
much overrated, and not at all
equal in quality to the better
class of Kyuses from the Pacific
slope. They have been bred in
for many generations. The re-
suit is that the Kyuse preserves
his distinctive characteristics
from one generation to another,
and. as they are most of them
raised in large herds, ranging in
numbers from 500 to 5000 the
system of their development has
been the survival of the fittest.
At all events they are wonder

became damp or my system
absorbed the slightest cold my
ankles panied me. This went
on at intervals for over three

The colored Baptists of Phil
adelphia are exercised over two
young colored Baptist damsels
who were thoughtless enough
to participate in a dance. An
ecclesiastical trial is imminent,
and there is some danger that
the young colored damsels MAY
be expelled from the Baptist
society. This is unfortunate,
both for the colored Baptists
as such and for the young DAM
sells. We trust that the matter
may be wisely settled without a
church trial. Church trials are
usually damaging to the cause
of true religion, of which it is
to be hoped the colored Bap-
lists of Philadelphia are living
examples.-N. Y. Sun.
