THE wife of John r. Church, of De-
troit, has given birth to three children
at one time, and that Church is now sup
piled with a fair congregation. We pre-
sumo the wife will do the preaching and
discipline the members. Her labors will
be rendered much easier by the knowl-
edge that there i'll be no flirting, even
if there be discordance, in the choir.

Willard.

Mr.. Henry Willard. President OF the
Northern Pacific Railway, is native OF
Speyer-on the Rhine, and first came to
study law, and studied for while in
Peoria, Ill. He then turned his alton
tion to the newspaper profession, and
almost the first thing he did was to re-
port the Lincoln Douglass campaign for
the Commercial. He then went as cor
respondent for that paper to the newly
discovered gold fields Of Colorado, and
remained in the West for some little
time. He subsequently was connected
with the New York Herald, and took up
his headquarters at Springfield, ILL.,,
| some little time before Lincoln started
| East for Washington, and accompanied
him on that famous journey us far as
New York Afterward he was stationed
as correspondent for number OF
Eastern and Western journals in

Died Happy.


A Yellowstone exchange is authority
for the statement that Medicine Bear,
fine famous Sioux chief, is dead. Medi-
cine Bear was one of the most brilliant
warriors that ever chewed tripe. He
participated in nearly all the Sioux wars
and for which Sitting Bull usually got
the credit. 1t is said that he was in the
Custer fight, and it is uncertain wheth-
er he or Rain sin the Face killed the
great cavalry chief; but is probable that
neither of those two worthless fired the
fatal shot or swung the irresistible
tomahuwk. Medicine Bear departed
this life few days ago on the Red Wa
ten nenr Bull Mountain. 1t is said that
he died happy. He had been converted
to the Catholic fsith some months pre-
yious TO his final sickness; but, as he
stated, il WAS not the consolation Of re-
ligion that reeoneiled him TO q future
state, but the fact that he faithfully be-
lieved that he had killed more white
men than any other Indian alive. He
was bnried with proper honors. Black

There is very strong opposition develop
ing against the closing OF Oak street for team
travel. Every inhabitant on the street is
opposed to the proposed action but one.
Judge Titcomb, who owns property on the
street, leads the opposition. Yesterday the
directors to the closing of the street put their
objections into writing. They propose to
fght it out to the end. They say that the
including of Post office Block in the valuation
Of property in favor of closing the street, was
not fair On the other hand those favoring
the discontinuance believe that they are work
ing for the best interests Of the city and the
people living on the street. Next Friday
evening there will be a meeting of the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen, when the mater will
probably be decided In 1867 an attempt
was made to close the street, but it fell
through. At the same time an order was
passed in the Common Council instructing
the Mayor to grade the street for distance
200 feet, but for some reason nvthing further
was done
