THE BEST OF ALL.

Since our arrival at Shepherdstown
as pastor of the Lutheran Church we
have been the recipients Of an I'M
ceasing stream of kindnesses from our
people, and many expressions Of es-
TEEN even from those not connected
with our church. Almost every day
some gift as II token Of appreciation
comes to the parsonage from our
friends. But the most unexpected,
the most handsome and timely and
costly has been the recent gift OF a
valuable horse and two-seated car
riage, harness, net, robes, &c, com
plete-a gift outright from the MEM
bers and friends of the Lutheran
Churches Of Shepherdstown and Twill
la to the pastor AMI family. We de-
sire to extend our most hearty thanks
to the donors for this unexcelled lib
crafty and kindness.
