A Boys Astounding PRAYER,

A lady residing in the village of
Middletown, N. Y, the mother of a
bright little boy, was talking to him
the other night, just as the was put
ting him to bed. about she efficacy of
prayer, and told him that if he would
ask God for anything that he partic.
ularly desired she had no doubt his
request would be granted. The little
fellow knelt at his mothers knee and
prayed God to send him fifty little
sisters and one hundred little BROTH
ers. The prayer was never finished,
for the mother, aghast at the pros
pect of having her house turned into
an o. phan asylum, lifted the boy to
his feet and tucked him into bed
without moments unnecessary de-
lay.

Mountain Lake Park.

Old winter has at last given way
to the blamy air and warm showers
of returning spring. We are very
glad of this pleasant and agreeable
change, and especially because it has
brought back the busy workmen,
who have made considerable pro-
gress, three houses having been raised
already this month.
On the Both of March there fell the
only heavy sleet we have had this
winter. 1t broke down many of the
small and defective trees and limbs.
One large limb surprised Mr.. Ho-
wells family by falling upon the top
of the house and then to the ground,
just missing the bay window.
| We were glad to greet the pleasant
faces of DR.. Frisinger and Mr.. III. III.
Vanmeter on the Sd inst. They, with
Rev. John M. Davis, made general
inspection of the Park only, as sick
ness prevented meeting of the Direc-
tors at that time.
Mr.. Gilbert, of Piedmont, was here
ON the 9th. He will either build OF
buy cottage here.
Mr.. P. L. Cartwright was here on
the 18th, with Mr.. Isaac Meyers and
his men, to begin the erection of his
store building.
Mr., Schoolfield, of Deer Park, has
commenced the erection of Mr.. Eli.

Miss AIDA Sherman was here also
on the 18th, but left again on the

An old story is perhaps worth re
telling to Indicate what sort of a man
the new Postmaster General is. Once,
when he was on the United States
Circuit Court bench, the District At
torney announced that a certain i'm
portant case, just called. would be
withdrawn from the docket. By
whose authority? inquired Judge
Gresham. "By instructions from
Washington" "But whose instruc-
tons ?" The answer was unsatisfac-
tory. 'We do not recognize the right
of anybody at Washington, even
the President HIMSELF" said Judge
Gresham, "to interfere, whether by
instructions or requests, in the trial
of a cause before this court. Proceed
with the case" The trial went on,
and conviction was secured.

Desth Of Capt. Rochau.

Ii Is with sincere regret that wide
circle of friends and acquaintences
hear of the death Of VIM. Bochau,
which sad event took place yesterday
afternoon. Some time ago a soft corn
on the side of his foot gave hiE con-
siderable trouble, finally resultingin an
open sore. He went to Portland for
medical attendance but was unable to
get any relief. The ultimate cause of
his death appears to be pyaemia.
Capt. Bochau was, until about a
year ago, bar pilot on the State Of
California, and then was afterwards
master of the tug Pioneer. He was a
native Of Holstein, agel about 43
years. A peculiarly distressing feature
is the strange fatality that seems to
attend the family. But comparatively
a short time ago his brother dropped
dead at the Cape; a week after his
nephew, Walter Pohl, was swept from
his side off the Pioneer, and now his
death results from an apparently
triAing cause.
