SITTING BULL.

Westward bound, I entered the Bad
Lands after dark. This was fortunate
circumstance. for 1t left the grandeur of
the scenes to be a surprise when morn
ing's light should reveal them. Stop
ping at Medora, II walked out quite early
in the morning to see the town from the
eminence behind it.. Making circuit
of half a mile / was able to ascend the
steep incline. A plateau as level as an
Iowa bayfield,, and quite like one in
appearance, stretches before me, and the
eye passes from this fiat surface to
another esond, and the valley wherein
the town lies is not revealed. "A two
minutes walk takes me across this plat
eau and brings me to the brink Of the
precipice and to a scene OF surprising
lovliness. Down in the valley lies the
town, a toy city, 800 feet below. The
most conspicuous object Is the group Of
buildings comprised In the slanghtering
establishment Of the Marquis de Mores.
It is in reality q huge affair, but appears
small indeed from So great q height.
Some Workmea were singing there, and
| up through the still morning air came
family and intes mittingly the strains Of
aClimbin' mn de Colder Stair. Across
tho valley and upon q plateau about fifty
feet above the town. was the residence oi

roof; the palace Of the village The ris-

Reports are already coming in from
the Cave Hills country tosthe effect that
cattle are being killed there by wolves.
The E6 outfit last year offered liberal
inducements to hunters for poisoning
wolves and the offer probably still holds
good. If the ranches would all combine
in offering liberal terms for wolf scalps,
the result would be great saving.

We arc in receipt Of the fourth month
ly Bulletin. by Commissioner of Immi-
grafton Dunlap. Amongst other yalua-
bic information, it contains the follow
ing: The weather has been highly favor
able all over the Territory. The mean
temperature for tho nine weather sta
tions has been about forty-three degrees;
eighty degrees during the daytime and
a little over eighteen at night making
very enjoyable weather. There have
been slight falls Of snow at all stations
except Yankton. The average of wheat
10 the acre in Dakota is 145 bushels, be-
ing the highest Of any state or territory,
Minnesota coming next with Ills bush
els. There were 1885 homestead and
pre-emption entries during October, an
increase Of 224 over September. The
Governors annual report to the secrc-
tary of the Interior is complimented, es-
pecially the part in reference to admis-
sion and division. The bonded debt OF
the territory is s56s, 200. The last legis.
lature authorized a loan of $4,000
and the bonds were sold at 1882, splen'
did showing for Dakota's credit. The
question Of opening the Sioux, Whine.
bago and Crow creek Indian reserva
tions is spoken Of and commissioner
Dunlap thinks it will not be long before
they will be opened. With this number
Of the bulletin comes a map Of Dakota
revised to date, and probably the mos

A Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer

HoNEA PATH, s. c., Oct 2, 1885.
The Churches of the Saluda Baptist
Association will please bear in mind that
at our last meeting it was resolved that
Friday, 10th October, be set apart as day
of fasting humiliation and prayer, and
that the Churches are requested to prop
erly observe that day by meeting at their
respective places of worship-fasting-
there to thank our Heavenly Father for
all His benefits, humble themselves be-
fore Him, confess their sins and ask for
His forgiving mercy, that by His grace
they may be ablo to consecrate them
selves wholly to His service, and walk
more circumspectly before Him and the
world, and that "pure and undefiled reli.
gion" may abound among us. Now,
brethren, to the work Of getting ready to
preparing for the service of that day by
announcement in all our Churches for
the assembling of the people, with or
without their pastors, so that when it
comes we may meet in proper frame OF
mind. BY abstaining from the use of
food or water, as well as the luxuries OF
life, We may be able the better to appre-
ciate the blessings we are the constant re-
cipients OF. Will not all the pastors, Of
all the Churches, with all the members,
give publicity to this announcement, that
our houses of worship may be filled and
that the action Of our Association may be
made means of blessing to all?
We also cordially invite all other Chris
tian Churches, Of every name, to co-ope-
rate with us, by meeting at their places OF
worship as we propose.

MIR. IL. BurrIss,s Fish Pond.

Mr.. EDITOR: According to previous ar
rangement, on the day appointed for tile
drawing of Mr. H. l.. Burriss's fish pond,
Notwithstanding the inclomency OF the
weather at the appoint ted hour goodly
number assembled at the pond, and every
thing being ready Mr.. Burriss commenced
to seine for the fnny tribe, which he had
so long wished to see. The stalwart
freedman had not made many dips until
it proved that Mr. Burriss had not wished
in vain, and that the fruits Of lis labor
were to be seen in the seins full of fish
which were continually being brought to
land. The writer was present and was
asked by Mr.. Burriss to assist him in
weighing some of the largest. We meas
ured some that were two years old, and
they measured twenty-four inches long
and weighed six and one-half pounds.
Then we proceeded to weigh some one
year old, and they tipped the beam attwo
pounds each. 1t was agreed by those
present that the number of the two
pound fish was between four and five
hundred, and those which weigh six and
one-half pounds from seventy-fiye to one
hundred. It is true no accuracy could be
arrived at from the fact the vessels which
Mr.. Burriss had were not sufficient to
hold the fish caught. AS for those from
three to four inches long, am at loss
to number them. Suffice it to say they
were numerous. 1t was my good fortune
to be one of the invited guests to dine
with Mr.. Burriss. 1t was the verdict after
dinner that the carp is the finest fish that
we have ever eaten. Mr.. Burriss has one
Of the finest fish ponds in the County, and
it will not be long until he will reap q
handsome income from it.

Clerk Saluda Baptist Association
The South Carolina Presbytery.

GREENWOOD, s. c., Oct. S, 1885.
Editor Intelligcncer The Presbytery Of
South Carolina has been in session at this
place since the evening Of the End inst,
and will adjourn this afternoon or to-
| morrow.
Thirteen ministers are present, and
some thirty five Churches are represented,
leaving only three ministers absent and
about ten Churches with no representa-
tive present. The opening sermon was
preached by Rev. J. o. Lindsay, DID,,
after which the Presbytery was constitu-
ted with prayer. Rev. J. Mel. Seabrook
was chosen Moderator, and Elder L. w.
Perrin, Assistant Clerk. Rev. S. L. Nor
ris, the permanent Clerk was present.
The narratives sent up from the various
Churches show, in the main, rather
hopeful condition of the several interests
of the Church.
The pastoral relation, which for eleven
years had existed so pleasantly and prof.
tably between Rev. R. A. Fair and the
Newberry Church, was dissolved at the
request of the pastor because solely Of his
growing physical intirmity. Rov. w. g..
Neville, also, was released from the pasto-
rate of Cokesbury and Ninety-Six Church.
es. Rev. Mr.. Fair has removed to Lau :
rens G. H., and will labor in Enores Pres
bytery, aud Rev. Neville will most prob
ably accept o call from Church near
Lexington, Kentucky.
A request for the establishment of
Church at Mt. Carmel, OH the Savannah
Valley Railroad, in Abbeville County,
was sent up, aud commission therefor
was appointed.
The crying need of this Presbytery is
ministers. Far too many Of the Church
es complain of having no regular preach
ing Presbytery will endeavor at once
to secure suitable evangelist and put
him to work within it's bounds.
A missionary conference was held
Saturday night, at which the fact of
growth of interest in the matter of For
eign missions was developed.
The Church at Abbeville, which has
been without Pastor since the resigna-
ton year ago of DR.. Martin, presented
through Presbytery, a call for the services
of Rev. j. Lowry Wilson, of Bethel
Presbytery, and there is strong proba-
bility that he will accept. Westminster
and Retreat Churches presented calls for
the pastoral services of Rev. Mr.. Kirk.
patrick, of East Alabama Presbytery.
The membership of the Church at large
has been greatly augmented during the
past six months, and nearly all the indi-
cations are of an encouraging nature.
There are many topics of minor inter.
est of which would like to speak, but
space forbids
The session has boon exceedingly har-
monious, and the hospitality of the peo..
pie of Greenwood most sumptuous and
elegant.
The Spring meeting Of Presbytery will
bo held at Newberry, beginning at Z!
o'clock p. m, Friday before tho second
Sunday in April 1856. d.
