Correspondence of the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, Mo-, February Elm
reply to the letter from the West
Cuivre Church, your correspondent
has his to say: That the reports came
to him from what anyone would nat
nraf1y suppose a reliable source. In
their letter they say our "nefarious
writings are induces and opponents
Of FOUR deep depravity, to gather up
flying reports and exaggerated u
mors and precipitately pronounce
condemnation upon an entire
church, We would ask the Bro.
if he knows from whence the reports
emanated2 Who first brought the
matter up before our citizens? 1t
was in the Baptist prayer-meeting,
in the Baptist Church, and by a mem
Der of said Church. Why should we
doubt the truth of it., coming from
such a source as it does? Yea, COM
ing from professed christians, who
claim that they are lineal descendants
of John the Baptist. Where does
your ~imbecility and depravity fall
now, Tie report COHlluS DIS CHey O1u
from your sister Church. We must
say let. your pity rest upon them,
and pray God to forgive the wrong
they have done you, and to make
good christians of them. We are
indeed sorry that you have been mis-
represented in this matter; but if
they are facts, we have nothing to
retract. 1t must rest upon those
who represented it SO. We are glad
that we can place it where it belongs;
and, though we cannot perhaps quote
their exact words, it it enough to
say that they represented Mr.. Mob.
as being in a very destitute and de-
plorable condition, and his family
were actually suffering for both food
and clothing, and that the doctor
further distressed him by taking his
last horse. We append the written
statements of a few of our RESPONSE
BILE citizens in regard to this matter,
and they will make affidavit to them
if necessary. We also can furnish a
score of them if wanted. We say,
may God forgive the ones that start
ed such reports. AS we have been
taught that Church was the place to
hear the truth, we supposed the
statements were correct.

:. Rake Err

There is now nearly $500, OOC
in the Treasury, and when Con-
| troller Hal)ock gets his claim
through in Washington there
will be nearly 100000. With
this amount there is no reason
why Reno should not have an
other lunatic asylum or a State
Prison or SO and Elko an extra
University. With 100000 in
the Treasury, the Capitol should
be enlarged. When the Legis-
lature meets and the members
gaze on that substantial pile OF
sheckels a general shout Will go
up: "Mr. Speaker, / move we
rake 'er." Such sum is too
much money to be lying about
the Capitol right through the
year. It might tempt the
officials, and the sooner it is
divided up the better. The
taxpayers ought to know about
what to do with it. That extra
100000 from Uncle Sam is just
like picking up money in the
street. A legislators general
idea of finance is to scatter
things round. This is not a
misery country and the State
cannot afford to be looked upon
as grasping and parsimonious.

In the Wrong Pew.

| About ? o'clock yesterday
afternoon a Washoe Indian load
ed down with whisky was pass
ing through Chinatown, when
he attempted to invade the
Chinese temple. Whether he
went in to iDscribe his name on
the books as pew renter or to
get the hang of the service. is
not known. His first violation
of the proprieties was to seize a
bronze god and hold it close to
his eye for inspection. The old
piece of parchment who acts as
high priest Of the sanctuary be-
came incensed at this and
knocked the rec man down
with an incense lamp swinging
over the altar. The Indian sent
the bronze divinity into the pit
of the Chinaman's stomach and
uttered the favorite war whoop
of MS tribe. This brought
number of Pensioners to the
spot and they set upon the pro-
faner with stones and clubs. He
lett by way of The side door and
as he passed up the street in a
hurried way was covered with
blood and almost wholly desti-
tute Of clothes. Last night the
Indians were getting ready for
a raid on Chinatown, and the
heather were arming in defense
of the altar of their fathers.

Keep the Horses Warm

to clip horses at the beginning

the science of the thing. When
the horses hair is long the per-
