Last Nights Sermon.

Speaking on The brains Of the soul. %
Rev. Zed II. COpp last night discoursed
in Bethany Chapel on man as a trinity.
Rev. Copp said that mans Destiny both

Here meet prudence and passion. reason
and rebellion. and divine impulses
The preacher compared conscience TO

Cattle Killed by Hail.

Reports coming in from the Look
out mountain country, at the head of
Sutton creek and Lawrence creek,
from 20 to 80 miles east of Baker
City, are to the effect that during
the big hail storm that visited that
section about 10 days ago over 100
head of cattle on the range were kill
ed, their carcasses presenting unde-
niable evidence. Horses, colts and
sheep in some instances were also
killed.
The hail is said to have fallen
thick and furious and were the size
of large teacups.
Sage hens and grouse were depict
ed and everywhere where grain was
growing il was cut down as II with
a knife.
The story is hard to believe, but
the Democrat can produce one man
that relates while out hunting he
ran across five head of dead cattle
and saw other evidences of the dam
aging effects of the storm.-Baker
