WILL RESIGN.

Rev. J. n. Wiseman, who has been
the pastor Of the Christian Church OF
this place since its organization, will
deliver his last sermon this morning.
The cause for Rev. Wiseman giving
up his pastorate is not known, but it
is alleged that the affairs of the church
the past few weeks have net been going
On as smoothly as they should in such
a body, and Rev. Wiseman, it is alleged,
in doing his duty as a pastor of that
body, has not been able to pour enough
oil On the Troubled waters to smooth
them, hence his resignation.

The meeting finally, after a long wait,
had to be abandoned as only five people
put in their appearance. Another in
stance is that of the Stanton Heater
Co., of Beliaire, which is seeking q new
location. All they ask to come here
is site, and as yet no action as far
as known has been taken. The more
industries you can add to a town of
this kind, the better it makes it. If a
majority of the citizens realize this,
they surely are not acting according to
their thoughts.

AN INTERESTING PAPER.

George Ware, the well-known glass
blower OF this place, has in his posses
sion a copy of the New York Herald
which is thirty-four years old. The pa
per is dated April 10, 1865, and gives
a detailed account of the assassination
of President Lincoln and the, attempt
upon the life of Secretary of State Sc
ward. The paper is quite a small one
compared to its present size and con-
tains some other very interesting read
ing matter bearing upon the civil war,
also touching upon Jefferson Davis,
who was at Danyille at that time.
