W1NNEMUCCA, New, Dec. Il, 1885.
II. S. MASON: Dear Sr-Your
favor of the 7th inst, requesting my
presence at meeting Of the citl-
zens Of your city to take into con-
sideration the propriety Of present
ing a memorial to the President OF
the Z. S. requesting him to reopen
the Carson Mint, has been duly re-
ceived and carefully noted. In re-
ply would say to you and to the
Committee through you that [ am
sorry that it will be impossible for
me at the date of your meeting to
be present on account of previous
engagements. I desire to state that
like many other citizens Of the
State, [ am heartily in favor of the
movement and hope you will sue
coed in what must appear to every
reasonable man as righteous under
taking. Every citizen of the State
must be impressed with the idea
that the closing of the Mint is
penny wise and pound foolish

DUFF1RLDs, WA, Jan. ~, '85.
1fy. Editor We are now enjoying
at Elk Branch a gracious visitation OF
Gods Spirit. There has been for
some weeks an evident preparation
for this among our people. There
was an unusual spirit of prayer and
a readiness to work for the Master.
Dec. 30th, 1884, by invitation, Rev.
@. NJ. Howard, the Evagelist. began
to preach for US, and has preached
fourteen sermons. I have never
heard sermons of greater simplicity
and plainness, (and therein is their
power or of more thorough sound
ness. He breaches plainly Gods
Sovereignty and mans Sin and Ac-
countability, and his dependence on
the Spirit of God. There are be-
tween fifty and sixty enquirers, and
besides this almost all the congrega-
ton seem to be anxiously calling upon
God. We have crowded houses, and
yet no noise or excitement. It is
the quietest meeting l have ever wit
messed. If we can be humble and
prayerful we confidently expect yet
larger blessings. The meetings will
ID. W. continue several weeks, and
we do wish all the people to share in
its blessings. Yours &C.,
JNo. A. SCoTT, Pastor.

The old Liberty Bell, it is expect
ed, will be shipped from Philadelphia
to the New Orleans Exposition on
January oath. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will be entrusted
with the charge of its transportation.
A special train will be furnished by
the company to carry the bell, and
three officers appointed by the mayor
as custodians, who will not leave it
day or night until the relic is returned
to the city in June, at the close of
the exposition. This special train
will be preceded by the pilot engine
to guard against collision. When
the bell leaves the city it will be the
second time since it was originally
received in Philadelphia in 1852. In
1777, when it was expected the Bri-
fish would capture the city, the bell
was removed to Bethlehem for safe
keeping. 1t was restored after the
evacuation.

The mayor of a western town de-
cided to rid the place of the masher
nuisance. He rugged himself in girls
clothes, and when accosted by a loaf
or seized the fellow and carried him
off to prison. Our Mayor has no
particular fancy for wearing female
attire, that we know of, but if any
fellow doubts that he would collar
him and lead him to the lookup
quicker than you could say "JacIS
Robinson for an infraction of the
law, just let him try it on and ascer-
tain the result.
