STORY On a 2.OA 3bkhH <EaREIS.

See the struggling urehn. Who is the
little chap? Why he is pupil Of the
graded school, and belongs to tie prim-
airy grades. But why does he struggle :?
Oh yes, he is loaded, we see he is groan-
ing under the heavy weight of big bag
filled with something-meal or sweet po-
tatoes, or coal, perhaps, which he is haul
ing home for family use. The little man
bears up under his weary load quite gal
lantly. We sympathize with him and
wait :his coming. "Little man, where
gocst thou?" "To the graded school" ;"
he responded. ''But why should you
carry bag OF potatoes TO the academy,
as there is no restaurant kept in the i'm
mediate vicinity, or a bag of stone coal,
for winter is not here yet?" ola. ha I!
ha ~ laughed the little man, as between
the paroxysms he shouted, "Pm pri-
mary scholar in the graded school, and
this bag is full Of my books Ha ! ha!"-

interesting address on Rev. Mr.. McCalfs

time in December, was read by Rev

The leading feature is 10 have Rev.
George Rainsford, d D., rector Of ST
George Church, New \ oTk, 10 deliver the
address. 1t will be remembered by many
the two weeks in February March, 1873,
when Rev. DR.. Rainsford conducted a

when ministers of the various Protestant
bodies adjourned their own services to

the rush was made by that mass Oh busl-
ness men to the gallery how the other

and how they thronged 1t.
II DR.. Rainsford will come, and II is
believed he will, he will be greeted with
similar reception.
The authorities of the society have not
named a day in December for The annual
meeting. They prefer some Sunday night,
but want TO consult DR. Rainsf0rds con
veniencc. They hope that with his large
number of assistants he will be able TO
make il point TO visit again the Virginia
diocese
At this writing there will be beautiful
singing of the church service under the
direction Of Professor Rheinhard, and
CAPTAIN Cunningham and the church
choir. The music at ST. Pauls is always
good. but this time it Will be unus-
ually so.
The election Of officers will happen
also AT this Sunday meeting.
The meeting adjourned with the dox-
olocy and the apostolic benediction, pro-
nounced by Rev. Joshua Peterkin.

The TREASURY RORBED.
lew Silver Dollar. stolen in Transit


WASHINGTON, November l3-lt has
Just leaked out that the Treasury has
been robbed Of new silver dollars, but to
what extent or by whom they do not
know The department has for some
time past been moving standard silver
dollars from the overcrowded New Or
leans min, TO The new silver vault in the
Treasury court yard here a few days
ago when one Of the boxes was opened
il was found 10 contain No. shot, and
subsequently another box was opened
that was half-ful of lead, and still others
from which small sums had been taken.
Close inspection OF the bogus boxes
showed that the New Orleans mint seal
had been removed, the money distracted
and that new seal bearing the impress
Of silver quarter put in its place. The
Department will probably hold the ex-
press company that transports the money
responsible for the Losses. Detectives
are al work on the case.

there are more of them and they conduct
their meetings differently. There is not so
much preparation at meetings for fight
