President Landers says that many contractors are anxious to bid on the work. A channel a mile long and from thirteen to twenty feet deep will have to be built. It is not expected that the rock will be blown out, as it is a soft stone in layers from eight to eighteen inches thick, and is available for seme construction pur j>oses. —Valparaiso Messenger.

THE TRANCE PREACHER. The Goshen News says that. Mr. Kauffman, the trance preacher that ' I has attracted a great deal of attention 11 । throughout the country, still preaches 1 ■ every AVednesday at his home east of . 1 | Goshen anil is visited by many people. ; He reclines into this state of catalepsy ! ‘ I about* the same hour each week and it I is said that he expounds the scriptures with wonderfid lluency and logic. Not ; long since two Goshen gentlemen, one [a minister, reached the house just 1 about the time the trance preacher be- 1 • gan praying and in the course of the i supplication he invoked divine bless i ing upon the gentleman of the cloth who had just come in. The visitors.' were strangers and the acknowledgment was rather puzzling. HO W TO B BILD A TO WN. An eastern paper gives some good pointers on building up a town pit the ' following article: Take two slates; let one be a beauti- I fid location, with all the natural advantages possible, and the other none of these. Take 500 old fogies and their kind men who do not believe in giving but get all they can and hold all they get; men who do not believe in giving capitalists anything for risking money in their town and put them on the good site. Then 3(>d good, live, energetic, got up and get sort of fellows who never let an opportunity pass to advertise themselves and their town, and put them on the poor town site; then watch those two towns for five years, and you will easih catch on to the secret of town building. He Fought the Good Eight and VW a He stood before a Woodward a venue liaberdasher’s window, and anyone with half an eye could see that h< wrestled with a mighty passion. His eyes were riveted upon the dazzling display like the eyes of the anaconda upon its prey. For a moment his frame trembled with emotion. He erea Wild to we mm fuTT. since “lie who hesitates is lost." But, no! it should not be said that one of the proud line of Squeers should yield to base temptation thusly. The inner man triumphs over the outer and Archibald Montgomery Squeers proudly draws up his manly five feet of frame, turns abruptly on his heel and walks away. He had resisted the fatal -v ductivencss of the red neckue. !><• troit Free Press. There’s Nothing Wiring With the F inn: rs There should be more courtcsv be tween citizens of town and country. Thoughtlessly perhaps town people, refer to their country cousins in dis respectful terms; not so intended, but frequently so received. I’here is some times an over due sensitiveness on the part of country people regarding the treatment received, but it is safe to conclude that ail sensible people be lieve in the common brotherhood ot man, and good breeding forbids of the use of such terms as would give offense. The better element of town society disapprove of any and all ill treatment on the part of the town's ; people, and we can assure ail good citizens from the country that they are held in high esteem by the citizens of the town.— Ex.
