A misersbly ragged fellow WAS seated
on the low wall Of old st. Paul's church
yard. Suspended from his neck was the
familiar sign, "Plsaas help the blind. A

U. p. church building, in which Rev.
Mr. Magill breaches, looms up as the
grand building in the place, very much
as the Court House does in Miffliutown
The q. P. people of that community
are an aesthetic people in their Sunday
religious habits and surrounding, as is
evidenced by the appearance of the
church and Its grounds. The building
stands in an enclosure or yard, into
which there is carriage way, along
this road is constructed platform of
plank as high as a carriage. Carriages
are driven to the side of the platform,
for ladies and children to step on
and pass off it by a flight of stairs
to the walk and thence to the
church. The hitching posts for horses
are all within the enclosure. 1t is an
attractive looking preaching place. As
We passed through the town We got a
sight of DR.. Sahm, sitting in the place
of the deceased Crawford. Beyond
McCoytown, on the Reeds Gap road,
are a number of fiue farms, on which
all of the growing crops presented a
promising appearance The oats and
corn seemed to be further advanced
than at the river, but the wheat seem
ed to be week later in Its appearance
of head. We drew up at the place Of
II. l.. McMeen He has all the COM
forts of good home at his place, with
christian neighbors on all sides. ex
cepting directly north, where Black
Log mountain stands, how many hun
dred feet high The mountain itself,
so close to his habitation, Is a sight
worth looking at, and from it streams
Of clear water flow to his house
and barn. So close TO the noun
tain is McMeen that his farm may be,
considered 20 be, on the lower rise Of
the first foot hills of the range, and
straight from the mountain through the
fields run rivulets of the clesrest and
freshest water. The fields are produc
tive. aud his barn is a large, conven-
lent structure, we'll stocked with hand
some horses and horned cattle, which
his sons delight in attending to. Mrs.
McMeen, his help meet, is as hospIta-
Bile as her husband, aud after enjoying
their hospitality for an hour, We turned
about and started down the valley. A
heavy rain fell while We were at
their house. On the return trip We
stopped few minutes at W. c. Laird s
store. at Nc Coy town, and felt like re-
naming over night, on the invitation
of Mr.. and Mrs Laird, rather than trav-
ell home in the darkness. through the
splash of mud and water from the road.
The lamps we're being lit when We left
the town. and we got home safely be-
fore midnight, and owe our escape from
a wettlng, on that afternoon and even
ing. to DR.. Elders skillful manner of
dodging the storms.

Indian and White Man.

The methods of outrageous opera
ton of Indian and White Man Is
clearly set forth in the two following
items both under date of last We'd
nesday. May 2S, 1884. The outra-
reous conduct of the White Man
reads as follows: Two masked men,
mounted and armed with Winches-
ter rifles, robbed the Benton coach,
May ~, twenty FIVE miles from Hele
ma, Montana. They rifled the mail
bags and robbed the passengers
The treasure box was also sacked,
but it contained nothing of value
The spot where the robbery took
place was in a canyon at the gate of
the mountains. The robbers rode
suddenly out Of the timber at the
side of the road, and with levelled
guns compelled the driver to stop
Passengers c. W. Cooper, G. L. Dud-
