COMMUNICATED. Rev. j. A. Scarritt
took his departure yesterday for Alton, his
future home, for this conference year at
least. Since Mr.. Scarritts sojourn with US,
he won the hearts Of not only his church
members, but also many Of our citizens and
1t is with genuine regret that we are called
upon to part with him, but shall we not
hope that, Ike many others, he may, after
while, come back to Cairo. We trust
he may win as many warm friends in Alton
as he has in Cairo, and that he may be as
successful in his church relations as he WIS
here. We congratulate the NJ. E. church
at Alton on their good fortune in securing
Rev. J. A. Scarritt as their pastor. NJ.

avenue yesterday when three young ladies
came tripping along, all talking at once,

said "the old vixen don't know any more
about it than we do" At last the cause of |
the discussion was revealed. The fortune |
teller had predicted that the one who SEEM
ed satisfied was to marry tall young man
with an elegant mustache. Neither Of the
others had been promised a lord with a
hirsute ornament above his feed orifce,
and that was what broke them up.
