A Good Pounding.

EDITOR BossrER BANNER-DeGr Sir:
How unfortunate for you that you
were not at the Bellevue Parsonage
this afternoon at 4 o'clock. You would
have been both astonished and de-
lighted to see the ladies pounding a
"Methodist Circuit Rider" Yes, we
We're pounded-well pounded. They
had put out the threat, and hearing
it we believed they were in earnest
aboutit, but did not expect it so well
"spreGd on" Why, even the sweet
little girls and boys took part. We
learn that it has been a custom with
the ladies of your town to thus treat
their preachers. Yes, they pounded
Methodist preacher in this town
about two or three years ago, and
only few months ago when Baptist
preacher came in they pounded him.
All this we heard after the hearing
of ears" but when they pounded us
We realized it more sensibly, for we
felt it.
Now, Mr.. Editor, letus thank your
kind people for such rich treats
May God spare those generous and
brave hearts long to His service
After all parties had dispersed we
took some account of the pounds, land
they were more than pounds) of the
fine variety of sundries, and found it
footed up in value about 800. We
appreciate this kindness, not simply
because it was worth taoenty dollars,
but because of the noble hearts that
did the deed. Thanking the kind
ladies and children again, and you
MIR. Editor, for space in your good
paper for these lines; and wishing
you and them a prosperous and hap
Ply year,
We remain yours devotedly,
! r. NJ. BLOCKER, and Family.

Gentlemen IF The Grand Jauy:
am satisfied that you have done

should he done. 1t is to he regretted
that there was necessity for the
work that you have had to do; bat
that is something for which you are
not responsible. As long as men win
carry pistols and shoot each other %
the slightest provocation, 1t is your
duty to see that they are properly
dealt with. We should, in this coun.
try have more stringent Legislation
against carrying weapons. ] think.
from observation and experience il
these matters since being in the Ta-
ritory, that more than half OF the
shooting ARRAYS would be averted:t
men were not permitted to carry
weapons; and for the reason that
such men are permitted to do so,
makes some excuse for men who
wonld not otherwise carry them.
Those that are interested in the en-
ecution of the laws and good govern
ment, should see that the next lcgis-
lature do their duty in this respect.
The suggestions that you have
made in your report viii doubtless be
looked after by the county officers.
