A dignitary of the church was dining
out. OF the two ladies between whom
he was seated, the one on his right HAND
side was an intimate acquaintance, and
noticing that her distinguished neighbol
was silent and preoccupied, said to him
''sotto voce":

rather nervous state of mind about my
health, and have sort of presentment
that serious illness is hanging over me.
l am conscious of peculiar numbness
all down my right side, which seems
to forbode an attack of paralysis"
His fair companion expressed her
hope that such fears were ill-founded.
"Ah, no." he replied, I'm afraid
there's no doubt of It, for 1 have been
pinching my right leg all dinner time,
and can elicit no responsive feeling what
ever. The limb seems quite dead to all
feeling"
"Oh," exclaimed the lady briskly, and
with look Of intense relief on her face,
''if that is all that troubles you, / think
I can at once relieve your mind from all
anxiety, for the leg you have been pinch
ing all the evening is mine"

AN evidence of the interest the peo-
pie take in reading the laws passed by
the Legislature is the frequency, since
the adjournment, with which the in
quiry has been made at this Office az to
why the laws have not been published.
There is not public day that numbers
do not come in and ask the question.
The universal sentiment among the
people is that they want to know what
laws have been passed and the nature
Of them. 1t is natural they should
want to know. They are sovereigns
and the law makers the creatures. 1t
is the first time for years the people
have been deprived of this privilege.
If the people had a chance TO vote
squarely upon the question large ma
jority would be found in favor of the
publication. The delay in their publ.
cation has been unavoidable. First,
Gov. Hamilton vas sick and could not
sign them then Speaker Keilholtz was
taken sick and could not witness the
signing. We hope to be able to give
them in a short time. -Centreyille

REV. James Conway and lady have

announcement in our Church Direc-
tory, Mr.. C. will fill the pulpit of the
Presbyterian Church in this place 20
morrow, morning and evening. While

friends here and elsewhere who will
regret to have this worthy couple leave
our county, We can only hope that
wherever they may go their lines will
be cast in pleasant places. Mr.. Con
way is, perhaps, the most brilliant pull
pit orator ever stationed in this county.
Although comparatively young man,
his talents are such as are sure, ere
long, to win for him fame and distinc-
ton. In addition to these, his social
qualities are such as to endear him to
any congregation capable of appre-
ciating true merit in a minister of the
Gospel. OF his "gude wife" it is SUI
cient to say that .'to know her is tolove
her." The Presbyterians, as well as the
citizens generally. of Odessa, to which
place Mr.. Conway has accepted call.

verend gentleman has consented to be
one of them. In conclusion we will
say that numerous latch strings will
be found hanging on the outside when
