A family were going west the other
day, bonnd for a Nebraska town. One
of the four children had died and they
were expecting to bury the little body at
Wood River. The train stopping at
Columbus for twenty minutes, the hus-
band and father, pretty full when he got
off the car, was yet fuller when he got
back to the depot after round in the
saloons, and found that the train carry
ing his family with the dead child, had
pulled out ten minutes before. Several
railroad employees who saw the wretch
on his return felt so indignant that their
wrath at the man overwhelmed, for the
time, their sympathy for the afflicted
mother and children.

In several cities Of the United States
there have recently been formed associa-
tions which promise to do great deal
OF good. Ono Of these, in Aver, Mass,
sets forth their object to be Fellowship
and acquaintance With each others re-
igious doctrines, local cooperation with
each other on the basis Of love to God
and man, and to the furtherance of all
social reforms, and the bringing Of tho
kingdom Of God" That looks like a
good enough practical creed for every
body. The trouble, however, is not 80
much in the dissimilarity Of doctrines
as it is in the lack Of fervency OF zeal,
to enthusiasm, which leads
to life OF self-abnegation, and q devo-
tion to the good Of others.
The following from the Schuyler
Sun Of Jan. 80, shows how things are
in Colfax county these times:
The full settlement was completed
between the outgoing and the
new county treasurer. The funds were
turned over, some $4,000 in all, and de-
posted by Treasurer Busch in the Folda
bank, that firm having secured the
deposits this year on bid Of 3 per cent
'Or the average daily balances. The
'ther two banks did not bid and judging
rom this it could not have paid them to
give 5 per cent for the funds. which they
nave been doing. Two per cent will
make quite difference to the county in
his respect, it having received nearly
5 900 in interest since Mr.. Bednar has
,een treasurer"

earth above the coffin had been dug up,
and was in place around the open grave.
The lid Of the enclosing box, as also the
coffin lid were removed. From appear

been attempting to perform surgical

deep and after it has grown upon the
