 Photographic Freak.
 Of all the freaks of the telegraph, the following is the most laughabIe which has come under our personal knowledge Not long since. a gradu- ate from one of our eastern theologt- cal schools was called to the pastoral charge of a church in the extreme
 southwest When about to start he was unexpectedly detained and in
 order to explain his non arrival, sent the following telegram: 'Presbytery lack 0 quorum to ordain." The mes sage reached the astonished deacons in this shape: ''PreSbytery tackled a
 worm on to Adam" The sober church
 officers were greatly discomposed and mystifed but after grave consul
 tation decided that it was the min ister's facetious way of announcing that he got married, and accordingly proceeded to provide lodging for two instead of one.
