Dsr"vrry u. =. sect OF Fanatics.
DrN>ER, Dc. -. A peculiar sec},
whose h. ndqu: rtrs are in Chicago,
WHO eel eve solely i'll the ttficicncy of
prayer i'll curino human ailm ms,
has been discovered in Denver, and
creates considerable comment. The
establishment, known as the Tab
'rna"!e If the Lord, is condrcttd
by ". Z Williams, assisted by Lis
wife. Several old ladies run some
thing like a foundlings home
Children who have been abandoned
by their parents, and other waits Of
tender age, are taken from the poor
house, and raised until they are
stout boys and girls. They are then
SEM to a farm near Boulder, be-
longing to tho same sect. The
ideas of the people conducting the
unique establishment arc Utopian,
ard i'll some respects, fanatical, ut
teri y disbelleving in the remedial
power of physics. a case occurred
yesterday, showing that their re-
lance has been misplaced. A little
wait named Dolly Bard, five months
old, died after short illness. In
order to procure the Necessary certi-
ticate of cause of death, a physician
was called, who refused to sign the
paper, saying that the child died of
inattention. The doctor asked why
physician was not called in time to
relieve the sufferer, and Williams re-
piled that he relied upon PRAYER in
stead, which had always relieved the
children before.
Reuben Green, of half moon, Pa
ciiic county, Washington Territory,
left bis home on Thursday, Deem
Der 1Sth, to get some medicine for
one of his brothers children, and
during that night, before his return,
the rain and melting snow raised the
Willapa so that the saw logs were
running lively by morning. NJ.
Green came back and undertook to
cross the river at the ford on w. W.
Lily's land, about noon, Friday,
December 10Th, and was swept down
stream. The horse agained tie back
some forty rods belov the ford. Mr..
Damon, WHO lives Il short distance
from the ford, saw the young man
pass, and through he would see how
deep the river was and turn back
shortly, so he followed down to see
what had became of him, and saw by
the tracks that he had gone into the
RIVER, but their were none on the
opposite bank. Search for the body
was commenced at once, but it was
not found until the following Tues-
day, when II was discovered about
twenty rods below under log, four
feet under water Mr.. Green had
only been in the valley few months,
and was not probably aware of the
depth OF the stream, as it had risen
very suddenly.
