Many pieces of old paper are worth
their weight in gold. 1 will tell you of
one that you could not buy for even so
high price as that It is now in the
British Museum in London. It is cid
and worn. It is more than 666 years
old.
1t is not easy to realize how old that
is. Kings have been born and died,
nations have grown UP and have wasted
away, during that long time. There
was no America $50 far as the people
who lived at that time knew when this
old paper was written upon. America
was not discovered for nearly 800 years
after it. A King wrote his name on this
old paper, and though he had written
his name on many other pieces OF paper,
and they are lost, this was very care
fully kept from harm. though once it
fell into the hands of tailor, who was
about to cut it up for patterns, and at
another time it was almost destroyed by
fire.
Visitors go to look at it with great in :
terest. They find it shriveled piece OF
paper, with the Kings name and the
great seal of England on it; but they
know that it stands for English liberty,
and means that-as the poet Thompson
wrote in the song, "Rule Britannis- =
"Britons never shall be slaves" 1t is
called the "Magna Charta," which
means simply the "Gras5 Paper"
There have been other great papers, and
other papers that have been called
charters" but this one is known the
world over as the ''Great Paper.

Mr.. 81. G. McGetchen, the silent partner
in the firm of Cotton & Co., slipped and
fell upon the sidewalk. The shock which
he received caused him to faint. He was
picked up and carried home, where it was
found that he had suffered broken leg.

occasioned by the injury, Induced q fit of
apoplexy which resulted fatally last
night. Mr.. McGetchen was about thirty
five years of age, and came to Minneapolis

to the general practice the exit of the old
and the ingress of the new year was greeted
with the clang of bells and roar of guns at
this place this morning, together with the
several watch meetings at the several
churches. As a token of their arrival at
Red Wing the Cannon Valley railroad gave
a grand excursion, starting from Water
vile at $50 o'clock this morning, stopping
at the several stations along the line. 1t
was not a free excursion, however, al
though only $1.60 for the return trip.
Much pleasure was enjoyed By large
number of people over this line, which is
as smooth as any in the state. The dis
tance between Waterville and Red Wing
is sixty two miles, and the time was made
in an hour and 6fty-eight minutes.

"God is the Judge; he putteth down one

SHOOTING CHURCH.
READING, Pa, Jan. Shortly after
midnight, while the watch meeting services
were being held in the Reformed Evangeli-
cal church here, large cannon filled with
stones and powder was discharged. The
front wall Yves crushed in, and nearly all
the window panes shattered. There was
great excitement among the audience, but
fortunately no one was hurt. Eight ar
rests were made, and warrants are out for
the apprehension of several other persons.
ANoraER INDICTMENT.
BOSTON, Jan. 1.-The United States
grand jury found another Indictment
against Abner I. Benyon, the fugitive
OK president of the Pacific National bank.
The offense alleged is the making of false
returns to the comptroller of the currency
in October 1881. Returns are signed by
Cashier Pettengill, but made up by Ben
yon's direction, and from his figures. 1t
is pretty well understood here that Benyon
is in California.
GALE In SAN FRANCISCO BAY.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. during the past
twenty -four hours severe rain storm has
prevailed here, accompanied by heavy
gales. Shipping sustained considerable
damage, especially in case of wooden yes
sells. Many vessels bumped heavily against
the dock, damaging their sides and sterns.
At the sea wall, where the shipping re-
ceiyed the full force of the gale, much dam
age was done. The piles snapped off, yes
sells we're jammed and bulkhea@s crushed. A
number of vessels out in the bay dragged
anchors, bat fortunately escaped without
damage The British iron vessels had
taken precautions against the storm and
suffered comparatively little damage. Sew
eral coasters were roughly handled and
portions of the rigging carried away. A
large barge and one small craft sunk dur
ing the gale.
