Elder Miller was informed that the ladies of this community had very highly appreciated his labors ns pastor of this congregation, and as a token of their esteem had pieced and quilted two beautiful quilts, which were now presented to him to convince him that they appreciated his labors mid sacrifices for (he cause of Christ. Each quilt contained over 3000 pieces very artistically arranged in small squares which contained the names of the many donors. Elder Miller’s surprise was complete. ll<> I hanked the fp?r -- »«•/ cordially for these splendid gifts, but his heart was almost too full for utterance.

The Michigan City Dispatch says ten years ago that city was the great lumber market in Ihe .South for the Northern pine, l ut now comparnthely liUle is done in that line.

One of our contemporaries says that “in 1873 no less than 638.854,850 bushels of cats were raised for food of beast and man.” For “cats" read “••ata.” it Is astonishing what a difference is sometimes made by a typographical error of out- letter. The omission of one letter made a report of a battle read that “the army was defeated w ith a great laughter"—lnstead of slaughter.
