A pREAcnER,s ADVENTURE.
BunetIpE the Storms and Rivers En-
Route TO ConfeTsnce.


No little anxiety was felt for the safety
of Rev. II. II. Austin of the NJ. f
church. who went alone by private
conveyance to the Douglas conference.
Nothing wa heard Of him for about a
week after be LETT Buffalo; bis presence al
Douglas was not reported by any OF the
papers containing reference to the confer
ence. and Powder river had been danger
ously high. Oh Wednesday, however, it
was learned from a stage driver that on
the night when Mr.. Austin camped on
this side of Powder river, his horses got
away, and he trailei them, afoot, toward
Nine Mile. Arriving at the latter point,
the reverand gentleman found the creek a
raging torrent, and there being no other
recourse, he jumped in and swan across.
At the stage stable he borrowed a saddle
horse and succeeded in catching hIs team.
His was the first vehicle to cross Powder
river after the floods, but he uired in the
mud on the other side aud had a peck of
trouble extricating the horses. Mr.. Austin
finally left Powder river in tolerably good
order, but if the first fifty miles OF his
Journey is any indication OF what the rest
was to be. the unfortunate clergyman
probably hasn't reached Douglas yet.

There is a way OF being abso-
lutely sure that the shoes you buy
are worth at least as much as YOU
pay for them. You may not be
able to tell good leather from bad;
you may not know the difference
between a high grade shoe and
an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if you are
imposed upon. You cannot be
expected to detect those diff
terences in material which make
such Il material difference, but
you can at least take the pre-
caution of making your purchases
where Misrepresentation are
never for a moment tolerated.
You will be more than pleased
with the immense assortment and
prices on high grade goods
to be seen only at

PEACHAM.
Death of Mrs. Mar E. McC1ary

At Peacham, Nov. 80, 1891, her sweet,
brave life was changed; and the weary
heart is at rest. To all who have known
her comes loss, to her family to the
church and to large circle of friends.
Mary E. Staples was born in Wells, Me-.
Aug, 9, 1922, where her youth was
passed, and the voices OF the ocean and
the life of sea-faring folk ever held deep
interest for her. Coming to Boston in
1871 she asidenti6ed with the Seamens
Bethel. June 6, 1913, she was united in
marriage with Ira L. McClary. About
two years later they removed to Albany.
In 1854 they came to Peacham where,
they have since resided. Always
thoughtful of others, nobody in trouble
failed to find in Mrs. McClary a SYM
pathizing and helpful friend. Her earn
est Christian life was illunined with
kindly deeds. She bore her protracted
suffering with singular courage and
cheerfulness to the last, and happy
translation coming in a moment found
her ready. Her husband and three
daughters remain to rejoice IN her gain
while they mourn their loss. An only
son preceded her by some years. A very
wide circle of friends syInpathizes with
the afflicted, but find comfort in the as
surance that Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord"
A little child of Lucian Bigelow was
buried last Sunday.
Mrs. John Way is very low; her re-
covery is very doubtful
