The beard Of arbitration appointed by
the Minnesota Christian Missionary So
ciety, to hear and aujutliCate the diff
fereHces between the Christian church
congregation of Redwood Falls and G.
\. Jackson and Levi Annis. both ex-
communicated for alleged otfenses, has
just made it's report, anu .4ttirms the
action of the congregation in cxcom-
Eunicating Mr.. Jackson, on the ground
of his refusal to give the source from
whence certain slan,lerous words
against the pastor, Elder Henry Good
acre, originated, but rcverses the action
of the congregation in discharging Levi
Annis and wife from fellowship in the
congregation. Mr. Annis applied for
letters Of utilization with another
church in Redwood Falls. The board
holds that the congregation had no
right to do this, but Mr.. ARMS cannot
be given letters Of utilization, and must
remain with the congregation until the
pastor deems it wise to give letters of
af1iliation.

An Amish colony is locating in Wa
bash county, Illinois. A representa-
tive of that brotherhood effected a
trade recently by which they come in
possession of several farms, and they
have contracted to locate twenty-five
families within the next six months;
but it is the opinion of many that this
is only the advance guard Of a great
colony which is to follow later. The
Amish are religious body similar to
the Quakers in many respects. Most
Of them are OF Swiss or German ma
tionality. They are q people Of rugged
honesty, simple in their habits. indus
trious and economical and calculated
to make very desirable citizens. They
like the Friends, are governed entirely
by brotherly love under the denomi-
nation of the church. They absolutely
refuse to be drawn into any kind OF
litigation or trouble. and stand by one
another steadfastly. 1t is said to be a
matter Of history that they have never
yet allowed one Of their number to lose
his home or default in the payment for
his land. Their object in locating in
colonies is that they may establish and
maintain church.

smashed two weeks ago, is notable as
one Of the most rapid pieces of bridge

in thirteen days. Within two hours
after the wreck 300 or 400 carpenters
were at work, and they have been busy
almost day and night ever since. al.
though the chief work has been to get
the material on the ground. The bridge
was of especial importance, as it car
ried the traffic of the road from it's
mines recently bought.
