tiOn.

The services at st. Paurs church yes
terday were of peculiarly interesting
character. it bsing the frat Sunday in
Lent, Bishop Paddock officiating, and
the solemn lsnten service and the elo-
quent discourse of the Bishop we're most
imprsgsiye.
at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon the
trustees of the Parish, James G. Swan,
James Jones, Francis W. James, John T.
Norris and A. II. Tucker. met the Bishop
and the Rector, Rev. John 3. Alexander,
to discuss letter of resignation which
the Rector had placed in the hands OF
James Jones, Secretary. MIR. Alexander
thought that a change is needed, that
his ministry is not effective, that the
attendance at the church on Sunday Is
small and the offertory. insufficient, and
induce the members OF the church to be
more regular in their attendance. Each
of the trustees expressed his opinion to
the Bishop, and they were unanimous in
their regret that their Rector had thought
necessary for him to tender his resiFna-
ton. They each said that Mr. Alexander
has done more to build up the church
and to beautify and adorn the edifoe
than any minister We have ever had
before, and they ono and all asked Mr..
Alexander TO withdraw his letter. The
Bishop expressed his regret and said
that Mr.. Alexander had wrought great
change in the affairs OF the church since
he has been the Rector. He spoke OF
the appearance OF the church building
before it vas removed to its present
locality. 1t was then dilspidated and
unsightly. now it is the most beautiful
country church in the diocese. he
thought that if the church members
would take An interest and attend church
/ themselves, they would induce their
friends to come and the house would be

A Bad lhims to Have.

Mrs. Colonel Percy Yerger, fash iorable lady, is afflicted with partial deafness, and just now she Is also struggling with the prevailing iuau- enza, 90 called because the sufferer can not prevail upon it to leave. Mrs. Colonel Percy Yerger also wrestled with an infant about six months old. There was social gathering at the Yerger mansiop not long ago, on which occasiOn Colonel Hishhier ask, ed how Ihst6aby was getting on. The partially deaf lady must have had the baby running in her head as we'll as the cold, and got them mixed up, for, when Colonel Highfier, who is a modest old bachelor, asked her how the cherub was coming on she replied with animation, evidently having the cold in her head:
 "l usually have them every winter, Colonel, but l must say this is the worst one l ever had. l managed to get rid of all the rest in less than three days, but this one sticks to me like tick"
 "Mauame!" exclaimed the mortified Colonel. ........
 "It just worries me nearly to death. It keeps me awake all night. l expect l will have it on hand all winter, and l can tell by your looks that you are going to have one just like it."- lexas ,Siftings.

General LeFevro'. Cow.

General Ben LeFevre had bargained for blooded COW at the sum of s2oo. and as the drover was driving her to Ben's farm to deliver and get his money he met gentleman who ad- mired the animal and asked whether she was for sale. The drover replied that she had been sold to General Ben IeFevre for Saoo. The gentle man replied that if any man devised to make Ben "rue" the bargain he would give Sa5o for her. The drover anxious to make $50, cud gled his brain and remembering the limited extent of LeFevre's knowledge of farm ami malS, hit upon an expedient. He took the COW to Ben's house, where she was duly and admiringly paraded to an assemblage of friends gathering for the purpose.
 "Come in and get your money" said Ben.
 General" replied the drover, II am good democrat and your consti- tuent, and want to deal falrly with you. The COW is all she has been re- presented to be, thoroughbred and a good milker, but am compelled to say that she is ! pot>perfect."
 "Why, what's the matter with her?" ....
 "Well, the fact is," replied the drover, "she has no upper front teeth" ...
 "Great heavens!" ejaculated the congressman farmer. "No upper front teeth! That wont do at all and l don't want her; Tn fact would not take her for a gift. Still you shall not lose anything. Here is a five dollar bill for your trouble in driving here and back" -.
 "All right" replied the drover, as he pocketed the V. "I don't want to take advantage of you, general, so good bye"
 And away he went and sold the COW to the other man, clearing just S55 by the transaction. This joke was too good to keep. Imagine Big Ben's dis comfture when it leaked out and the disclosure was made that Ben did not know that COWS and ruminating ami. mals were never provided by nature with upper front teeth.

A Mystery.

How the human system ever re- covers from the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often literally poured into it for the suppositive re- liet of dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism and other ailments, is mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines is S, arcely less than that caused by disease. If they who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheumatic, would ottener be guided by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid derivable from ra- tional medication. This medicine is a searching and at the same time a thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources. and possessing, in consequence of its basis of pure spirits, properties as a medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery local bitters and stimulants often resorted to by the facilitated, dyspeptic and languid. -... .r...
