His Church Contribution.

Jodediah Simpkins, wealthy, of Holyoke, Massachusetts, a few weeks ago was moved to contribute u few strawberries to a festival of a Congregational church, of which he is a member. He was found in a neighbor’s garden very early in the morning of the day the festival was to be held, with a two quart pair, the bottom just covered. He arranged the matter by paying the owner $5 —the highest price paid for strawberries this season. The church lias yet to be arranged with.
