Farewell Reception.

Owatonna Journal: On Tuesday even
ing of last week the members Of the
Presbyterian church gave q farewell
reception to Mr. and Mrs. Birkett and
Mrs. Abbott, at the residence of Hon. W..
r. Kinyon, the occasion being their
removal from this city to Austin, Mimi.
The various churches of the city we're
all represented and the spacious parlors
were filed with friends. many of whom
had known Mr.. Birkett for nearly q
score of years, and had known Mrs.
Birkett and her mother for more than
thirty years. On eacn side of the walk
leading to the residence Chinese lanterns
were suspended, presenting most
beautiful appearance. When the com.
pany we're present and two duets had
been beautifully rendered, the first by
Mrs. Birkett and Mr.. Sheldon, the second
by Miss Tenney and Mr.. Sheldon, Mr..
Cullen, in behalf of Mrs. Abbott's Sab
bath School class, presented her with q
handsome and complete set of Carlyle's
works, together with cabinet photographs
of members of her class. Accompanying
the gifts was q note from the class
which Mr.. Cullen read, expressive OF
their warm affections for her and sorrow
at her departure. Mrs. Abbott accepted
the gifts in few well chosen words, in
which she feelinglY stated her apprecia
ton of all those gifts expressed. Soon
after this good wishes and good byes
were spoken, and by ten o'clock the
guests had all departed to their several
homes.
The church loses, in Mr.. Blrkett, one
of the most efficient members of the
congregation, in Mrs. Birkett. an organ.
ist and sweet singer. and in Mrs. Abbott
an exceptionally fine Sabbath school
teacher. and one whose influence was
felt in every department of church work.
But the loss of the church here will
undoubtedly be the gain of the PresbY-
terian church in Austin. The entire
community sustains loss in the removal
of Mr.. Birkett. A reliable. genial business
man, an upright. public spirited citizen,
Unidentified with every movement that
promised to promote the best interests
of the city. his place will not be easily
filled. The we'll wishes of a host OF
friends follow him and his family to
their new home.

American statesman. It is fact estab-
llshed by the testimony of thousands Of
people, that Hoods Sarsaparilla does
cure scrofula, salt rheum, and other
diseases or affections arising from impure
state or low condition of the blood. It
also overcomes that tired feeling, creates
good Appetite. and gives strength to
every part of the system. Trv it.
The worst feature about catarrll IS its
dangerous tendency to consumption.
