TWinooski, Vt, Special
Rev. Fl. Newman Wright has been pastor
of the Congregational church here since last
November. Before he came the church had
been closed for some months, and Mr..
Wright came three weeks on trial. He had
the best of recommendations and was soon
well liked. The committee hired him for a
year. He had formerly been located in
Brooklyn and Potsdam, NJ His salary
was fixed at 81, 900. Mr.. Wright made a
serious mistake in the selection of his board
| ing-house, the parties being what the villag-
ers call confirmed gossips.'' For time
all went well. The attendance at church.
Sunday school and prayer meetings was
more than doubled, and Mr.. Wright was
thought to be grand success.
After time there came change in pub
lie sentiment The gossips began to talk
not openly, but in roundabout way. He
was accused of using slang. On one occa-
sion he announced from the pulpit that the
subject of his next discourse would be, s.The
Fig Tree, that Cussed Fig Tree.'' This as
tonished the good deacons and set them talk
ing and thinking. On another occasion Mr..
Wright said that man who paid his debts
dollar for dollar was better Christian than
man who made long prayers and paid but
few cents on the dollar. This struck seve-
raj of the congregation rather hard, and one
deacon Immediately left the society, hiring
pew in the Burlington church. This
deacon, though he did owe money, was very
prominent in social circles, and his exam
pie was followed by several others.
They gave out as a reason for leaving that
Mr.. Wright's remarks were not Christian
like, and that he used much slang. Then
the gossips began afresh, and soon rumors
were afioat very damaging to the character
of Mr.. Wright, and one of them which has
been traced to reliable source. He was ac-
cused of laziness and staying in bed too
long in the morning, keeping the congrega-
ton waiting for him. These gossips even
went so far as to say that he drank heavily,
and that he went to Burlington on prolonged
sprees. Mr.. Wright's actions since he came
to this place have certainly no cause for
these reports. He was great walker and al
ways took stroll before retiring. He was
popular with the ladies and young people,

Although the Northwestern Traffic and Cen
trail Iowa Traffic associations do not expire
until March 6, yet the cutting of rates from
northwestern points. and from Des Moines is
INDUCED in by some of the roads. This
seems to indicate that the roads in those as
sociations have abandoned all hopes of a
settlement of the difficulties tomorrow.

Southwestern and New York, PENNSYLVANIA
& Ohio RAILROADS, gave notice that the New
York, Chicago 81 st. Louis CNickel-Plate) is
not abiding by the authorized rate-sheet, to
which the general passenger agents of that
road is party, nor was it governed by the
differential rate conceded to the Buffalo &
Southwestern and New York, Pennsylvania
81 Ohio, but is selling at rate 81 so less than
the differential rates Of rail lines, and that
unless the Nickel-Plate should be governed
by the rules Of the association the Buffalo &

Economical COurtsllip.

Indian courtship is very simple. The
young brave sits back to back with his girl,
smokes a pipe and hands it over his shoulder
to her, and if, her father doesn't keep cross
dog, or is not reckless with his feet, the
courtship ends successfully in about three
weeks. This is much less expensive than
feeding a girl a year or two on ice cream,
fried oysters, or caramels; and, as 50 a
night opera is not affected by the Indians, a
very successful courtship can be prosecuted
for about s1.3O. And yet the Indians are
called sayapes

Finally meeting of the committee with
few others (ten or twelve in ALI, was held to
talk the matter over. Each expressed his
opinion, but no definite action was taken, as
the meeting was not legal. The next action
by the committee was to close the church
doors against Mr.. Wright, without giving
him any notice or chance to defend himself
The society has had no voice in the matter
Mr. Wright obtained Corporation hall and
held services two Sundays. The meetings
were not success, people feeling delicate
about attending.
Mr.. Wright tried to make some satisfactory
settlement with the committee, even agree
ing to leave it to referees, but two of them
were bitterly opposed to him and would not
listen to anything. He finally became dis
gusted and left town. He was paid his sala-
~ up to the time the doors were closed
against him, having preached just three
months

Pleasant way of Acquiring Wisdom.

1t is related of Rabbi Jonah, that one Pass
over night he drank four cups of wine and
had in consequence headache which lasted
until Pentecost. Rabbi Jadah bar Ilai suf-
fered the same affection. A lady met him in
this condition and said, cold man, old man,
you are either a wine bibber, usurer, or
swineherd." With an exclamation the rab-
bi said IT am none of the three, but
learned thought has come into my head, as
it stated in Koheleth: 'sWisdom illumines
mans counterance. ',-.Zenish Nesaender.

Kentucky Live Stock Record. Owing to the
continued bad weather training operations in
Central Kentucky are extremely backward,
fully four weeks behind the same time last
year. Since the break up of the extreme
cold weather we have had rain so often as to
prevent the tracks to be put in condition to
gallop. 1t commenced to rain in the fore
noon Of Wednesday, which turned into snow
in the afternoon, which continued the rest
of the day and throughout the night, and
while we write, Thursday, Feb. %, the snow
is fully four inches deep, and it is still fall
ing rapidly. The horses are literally doing
nothing; indeed we cannot remember when
they were so backward this far in the season
before, and in seems impossible to have them
ready and fit for their earlier engagements.

DictatOr's Book,

Kentucky Live Stock Record, 1st.]
Dictator's book for 1884, filled on the 25th
| inst, and it is safe to say that sixty better
bred mares were never presented to any
stallion. About on e-third of the engagements
were made by breeders, without naming the
mares, but of these named all are remark
able in point OF breeding, or performance, OF
both, and many are noted. More of the
daughters of Clark Chief are represented
than those of and other stallion, and included
among them is Croxie, 2.19.
George Wilkes furnishes six very highly
bred mares, one of them being out of the
dam of Phallas.
Among the Harolds are two bred just as
Maud s. is, that is, out of Pilot Jr. mares and
they are out of thoroughbreds; and one also
out Of the dam of Phallas.
Pilot Jr. furnishes but one, she being out
Of thoroughbred, but six are engaged out
of Pilot Jr. mares, including one out of the
dam of Maud S, and another out of the dam
of Jay Eye See, and Naiad Queen, 2:20I,
out Of Tackey. Some of the foregoing are
producers themselves, but among the pro-
ducers not otherwise classed is Old Ned, the
most distinguished of all brood mares, the
only mare with as many as four Of her foals
in the 2:30 list; Alma Mater, the dam of
Alcantara Alcyone, ETC.; and the dom of
Endymion.
In the list is full sister to Jerome Eddy,
full sister to Catchdy, sister in blood to
Trinket, and halfsister to Mohawk Chief.
And among the performers are Croxie, 2:19;
Naiad Queen, 2:204, and Cora Belmont,
2:24, previously classified, and Belle Bras
field, 2:20; Police Gazette Emma b., 2:22;
Lucrece, 2:23A; Carrie, 2:24A; Magenta,

and probably Clemmie g., 2:17, will fill one
OF Mr. Gordon's engagements.
Two fast mares are already at Ashland
from Pennsylvania to be bred in 1884, 1885
and 1886, and one from Tennessee to be
