John Miller and August Ahlin, farm laborers,
living twelve miles north of Sterling, got trunk
on hard cider, on Saturday night, aud, in a quar-
rel which ensued. Miller struck Ahlin in the
head with an ak, killing him. He claims TO have
acted in self defense, and that he struck the
other man with the AK only when Ahlin was pre-
senting a revolver held in both hands at him and
threateningt to shoot. AS the revolver was found
in the dead mans pocket, the the theory Of self
defense is not strong.

Correspondence of the lndianapo is Journal.
LOUISVILLE, Oct 6-I spent yesterday in
this string little city, the third town of Boone
county in size and population, and learned some
thing interesting about church matters. The
town contains four of these sacred temples, but
only one of them calls for special mention at
this time. 1t was built in 1867, under peculiar
circumstances. 1t is a sort of second NJ. E.
Church, and its erection was planned and car
ried out at the instigation of Rev. O.. H. 2.
Albeit, now of Indianapolis. This clerical gen
tlemAn had renowned his allegi-
'ance to the Southeast M. E. Conference during
the war-apparently became that loyal body per-
sisted in maintaining its allegiencet to the federal
government. Feeling his isolation more keenly
than he felt his guilt as a rebel sympathyzer,
This ministerial Pecksniff, in 1867, projected the
erection of a white Methodist church" in III
onsville. His scheme was Endorsed by about a
dozen Democratic ''palerfaces" belonging to the
townsville charge, and the result was the Struc-
ture in question.
Above the front door of this edifce is the in
s~cription, christian Union Church-A. D.,
1857 OF course this was a misnomer: Had the
sincerity of its projectors been equal to their dts
loyalty they might have anticipated George
William Curtis by writing it, The Anti Chris
tian Disunion Sectarian Irreligious Spells Con
federacy."
The charge worried along under the (mis)-
management of Brother Abbett-its member
ship never reaching above a score of souls-until
about eight years ago, when IA revival was inau-
gurated, resulting in some forty accessions.
But this squirt, singularly enough, proved the
signal of a downfall-as high fever often proves
a precursor of speedy dissolution. No services
have been held there for years. All the orig
inal members, save one old couple, are now
practically outside the pale of the church.
TIL structure itself is deserted by its builders,
and rears it's grim front only as relic of Demo
cratic folly-a monument of overt copperhead-
ism. Can any one doubt, in the light of the
facts, that the Democrats of louisville heartily
wish this notorious pile had been swallowed up
by the recent earthquakel j.. @.
