Up in Hancock County, Ohio, three
panthers have been prowling about
soaring the people, and devouring
everything within reach. A crowd of
men went out to look for them, but
when in sight they ran-the men,
not the panthers- conflict was
avoided. Among the depradations
carried on, one panther is said to have
carried off a lot of grain for one
farmer. We have heard Of the proph-
ecy ''the lion shall eat straw" but
never knew of his eating corn or oats.
But maybe these specimens belong to
a strange variety. It might be possi-
BILE that they are stray hogs.

Rev. ]. G. Armstrong, Of Atlanta,
Ga, the man who was accused of con-
duct unbecoming Minister, in Gin
cinnati, has been suspended, for five
years, from the pulpit, by order Of the
Bishop. Much sympathy is mani
Tested for the man on account of his
family, and there is talk of starting
an independent Church to help him
out. The question arises would the
Minister do better in new Church
than he did in the. old one. When
an ignorant man falls, and makes a
display of himself, one is moved to
overlook, in large measure, his frail-
ties; but for man who adopts the
sacred calling of the Ministry, it is
fair to presumes that he has sense
enough to know how to behave him
self, and honor enough to do it. The
man who deliberately disgraces the
Ministry and the Church does it with
open eyes, and cannot be held in too
great contempt.
The gentlemen at Washington who
were "overpowered" in the war have
been lionizing panorama of the
Battle of Bull Run, one of the con-
spicuous features of which is the por-
trait of Lee on his favorite war-horse
A companion picture should be made,
showing Lee in full uniform, at APP
pomattox, surrendering to the dusty
and begrimed ''Mudsill," Grant. This
might not please the Confederate
fancy so we'll, but would be a more
valuable lesson to the youth Of the
country.

went with Sherman to the sea on his
