the One who rGles the elements has

The first item that claims our atten-
ton is letter from Col. Geo. Trues-
dell, written from Paris, France, in
which | find l was misinformed as to
his buying blooded sheep, but that he
went to Paris to have his wife treated
for heart trouble. He says she has
been greatly benefited, and that the
ocean voyage was enjoyed by her.
His manager, Mr.. w. H. Chadderton,
informs me that he will have some
two or three car loads of sheep sent
to the st. Louis Fair and that Col.
Truesdell expects to carry off some of
the large prizes and quite number
of this magnificent flock will be sold
there. Mr.. Chadderton states that
Col. Truesdell does not expect to pur-
chase any more blooded stock for the
present, as he has the finest imported
sheep in the world and thus far they
have proved success, many of them
shearing from % to % pounds of the
| finest wool over grown by sheep
raisers in this country, and he has
the efficient service of one of the
best shepherds ON this continent in
the person of Mr.. Hugh Calderwood,
native of the Highlands of Scotland,
and one of the most courtly in his
bearing, reminding one of the days
of the gallant William Wallace and
his Scottish Chiefs

our relatives from Wheeling, Mr.. and
Mrs. Rev. Joseph Lee and family, on

day, they started to Grantsville to

| brother.
Rev. Mr.. Clary, of the U. b. Church,
filled the NJ. f. pulpit on Sunday
evening last, in the absence of the
pastor of that church, and the many
friends of Mr.. Clary were delighted to
again hear him discourse on. divine
things, reminding them of the days
and years past when this good man
ministered to his people and was
greatly appreciated.
Our young minister. of the Baptist
church preached to an attentive
audience at II a. Ill. in the Union
church, taking for his theme The
Optimist and the Pessimist,n and
quoting scriptural convincing argu-
ments in favor of the Optimist. His
musical southern voice and graceful
GESTURES add so much to the force of
his preaching.
Our young friend Ray Jones. son of
w. G. Jones, is rapidly recovering
from his critical attack of typhoid
fever and other complications, at the
West Virginia Seminary at Buck
harmon. He will be brought home as
soon as he regains sufficient strength
to bear the trip.

friends, Mr.. and Mrs. John W. Will

suburban summer home this season.
After seeing them each succeeding

twentythree years, and the much
! good Mrs. Williams has done in eleva-
ting the youth and even adults of this
place she, at least, will be sadly
! missed.
