A Wonderfully Rich Strike.

The Belknap (Montana) Eaterprise says
that John Flaherty, of DeadwoOd, has
struck, near the mouth of Butte creek, In
Ceur d'Alene mines, quartz vein I'M
paralleled in history for its richness. Solid
chunks Of gold are found in the quartz,
some rs big rs mans thumb. A big
rush, Of course, ensued, and the ground is
rapidly being taken up aud men going to
work. Good judges predict for this camp
the most wonderful quartz lodges ever
known in America. The ground on Butte
creek, putting into Prtchard, about five
miles above Eagle City, pays from SIS to
500 per day to the man, as far as prospect
ed. All the quartz so far discovered is in
that vicinity, and two or three towns have
been laid Off there.

Messrs. Editors-In your last issue you
alludc to the change of the Rev. Mr..
Register from the NJ. +. Church South to
the Epicopal, on the ground of not liking
the iunerant system of the lirst-as "a
change of faith" For one, l should be
sorry to think that these two churches
were so far apart in articles of faith rs to
make your statement correct. The faith
of different bodies Of Christians may be
very much the same, yet their IDEAS Of
church government, &C., may differ wide
". Wesley never intended the faith OF
his followers to differ from that Of the
great body OF Christians in England and
America embraced in the Church of Eng
land and the Episcopal Church.
Yours truly,

A South Carolina Geyser.

For some time past strange roaring
noise has been heard upon the plantation
of Nicholas Colvin, in Chester county, S.
c., but only few days has elapsed since
the locality from whence the sound came
was discovered. This is Il hole in the
ground of about ten inches in diameter,
the depth of which cannot be ascertained.
Smoke from this opening rises in dense
yards around the ground is in heated
condition. The negroes of the neighbOr-
hood are in wild state Of terror, declar-
ing that the judgment day is at hand. The
white people also are at loss to explain
the phenomenon. On Friday party of
six sturdy farmers assembled ut the scene
of the threatening volcano, with spades,
picks and shovels, and proceeded to dig
for the mystery. a depth Of eight feet
was reached, when the smoke and heat
became so intense that it was found i'm
practicable to dig any deeper. Some peo-
pie think that it is indeed volcano, while
others say it is a geyser, judging from the
vapors which rise from the hole and the
moistened state of the earth surrounding
it. The roaring noise can now be heard
four or five miles. The country is billy
and rolling, some of the hills reaching NJ
most the proportions Of mountains. The
phenomenon has caused great excitement
throughout that section, and hundreds of
people are flocking to the scene Of the
subterranean disturbance.

VIRTUE is its own reward, with some
times additional remuneration piled on.
The Presbyterian Hospital of Philadel-

check for 81, 200, Its share of the fund
raised by ''The Charity Ball" in that city,
has received a check for 5000 from res
idemt of Bucks county, Pa. The writer
explains that 81, 800 is in lieu of the money
which the hospital did not receive and the
remaining $500 is Il premium for adhering
to principle.

The very best remedy that can be COM
pounded from our present knowledge OF
drugs, for colds, coughs, asthma, bron-
caitis and other lung diseases, is DR.. Wis
tar's Balsam Of Wild Cherry. 1t has cured
many cases of consumption when all
other remedies had failed. A single spoon
full will cure an ordinary cough or cold
and give instant relief to asthma. Ii Is
soothing, healing and strengthening to
throat and lungs and is very pleasant to
take.

Of large number of persons in this State
when, in speaking OF Presidential prefer

lows: "Bayard comes nearer to represent
ing West Virginia Democracy in his views
,,pon financial issues, tariff and revenue
questions, States right and federal limi-
rations, and all constitutional construc-
tioms, than any man in the country whose
opinions have been impressed OH public

OBITUARY.

Friends and neighbors gathered last
Thursday on another sad occasion, the
funeral of Clara Epson. Dark clouds of
fear and sadness had been lowering over
the household of Mr.. Ashbel Epson for
many long months, and sorrow and grief
came many weeks ago to the home cir
Gle when physicians and friends were
compelled to give up the last hope of
Clara's recovery.
The poet, in addressing the relentless
Reaper by whose sickle we all shall be
gathered, says: 'Come in Consump-
TONS CHASTITY form, and thou art
terrible It is, indeed, terrible to see
the young life slowly wasting, the body
pining away, and hopes of future use
fulness going out in night. There are
long, wearisome days, and the almost
sleepless hours of heightened nights
fail to bring the longed-for rest. The
watching, the anxiety, the wearisome
ness, the pain, the nearly wasted vitality
makes even death itself welcome.
On Sunday, November %, the wore
flashed through the community tina
Clara was rapidly failing and could las
but day or two longer at furthest Oh
Tuesday, the 25th, at about 500 P. NJ.
she passed away without a struggle
Her mind was clear and she was con
scious to the last moment. Her las
thoughts were love and care for the dea
ones. Her last request was Live ever,
day so that YOU can meet me in tn
home above.
