son, wife of the presiding elder of that

ence at the Methodist church on Sun
day evening last on the subject Of

had been ahated and many even
brought to q full knowledge of the
Christian faith. She also showed, in a
startling array of figures, the amounts
annually expended for liquor and to-
bacco in the United States, and siguifi-
cantly compared it with the sums de-
voted to foreign missionary work. She
was listened to throughout with rapt
attention, and at the conclusion of her
remarks organized mission society

As the light from the nebula of andre

reflected light, and rs it has been on its
travels hundreds of years, the new

By this time, with all the government
land taken up and the cattle kings in
