Speed Of RaU,ray Trains.

When George Stephenson asserted his
ability to run passenger coaches at a speed
of twelve to fifteen miles an hour, scien-
tifc and practical men deemed him q can
didate for a lunatic asylum. Less than
three score years have elapsed since that
time, yet such has been the progress Of
railway develOpement that any line aim
ing to rank as frst-c class requires to main
tain express trains making a speed OF at
least thirty miles per hour. Improve
ments il roadbed and rolling stock have
reduced it possible with safety to treble
therates Of speed which were claimed by
the father of locomotives. Although the
past decade has not materially increased
The rapidity az trains upon the leading
railways of the world, has sufIiced
10 raise the general average
time Of passenger trains to an extent not
generally recognized beyond the circle of
railway officials and employees. A glance
at any railway guide Will demonstrate
the truth of this statement. Attention
has been lately called to this fact by arti-
Giles which have appeared in several journ-
ais devoted TO railway interests leading to
an investigation, the results of which may
prove of more than passing interest to
the general public. English railways stand
at the head of the list, German standing
next, and Canada taking the lead upon
this continent. English and German fast
trains make no stops, while upon most
American roads even the fastest trains
make some stops. If allowance of but
two minutes each be made for these, the
fast train on the Canada Atlantic would be
the second fastest train in the world, run
ming az miles per hour, the Flying
Dutchman, London to Bristol, alone being
quicker.

Grace Congregational Church of StiIIicGter.
A new Congregational church, named as
above, was formally organized in Still
water, on Tuesday last, with membership
of fourteen. The Rev. NJ. Montgomery, of
Minneapolis, superintendent of home
missions for Minnesota, decided last
spring that the time had fully come to
begin the work of forming Congrega-
tional church in Saltwater. Last April
the Rev. George 5. Kicker, Of Lowell,
Massachusetts, was invited to Saltwater to
look over the field with view to the Or
ganization of a Congregational church.
He accepted the invitation, and removed
with his family to Saltwater in May last,
and Immediately entered upon the work of
preparing the way for the organization of
Congregational church.
A tent kindly loaned by Plymouth
church, of Minneapolis, was pitched On
North Hill, as tabernacle in which to
hold religious services, where regular wor-
ship commenced in August. Last week a
council convened in the tabernacle, com
posed of pastors and delegates from the
neighboring Congregational churches, and
church was organized as "Grace Congre-
gational church." with the customary for
maIities, the Rev. Mr.. Kicker being in
stalled as its pastor.
Preliminary to the organization, Presi-
dent J. W. Strong, D. D. of Carlton college
was appointed chairman, and the Rev G.
A. Conant, pastor of the Pacific Congre-
gational church, st. Paul, was appointed
clerk. The formal services Of the organi.
cation were held in the tabernacle in the
evening, the Rev. John b. Merely, of Park
| Congregational church. st. Paul, being ap,
| pointed moderator of the council. 4
large assemblage was present at these exer-
cises. The services were opened by sing
ing and the reading of a selection of the
scriptures from Acts II. by the Rev. ". c.
Hicks, of Prescott, Wisconsin. The ser
mon was preached by the Rev. R. G.
