which it brought it must have been
general. The inmates at the Par

but their hearts were made to re-
joice by this unmistakable express
sion OF good will and esteem. Sew
eral hours were spent in social inter-
course, interspersed with music. Be-
fore leaving, purse of the coin of
realm was made up, amounting to
$l2 (Which was swelled to near S2S
thenext day, by kind friends who
were not able to be presently which
was presented by Mrs,sC. Bryan, to
the Pastor, who in a few words ex-
pressed his heartiest thanks for the
presence of SO many friends, and
their liberal offering. Ii this be =
specimen of the storms which rage
in Dakota, let them blow.
