Robin Houd who recently lectured here on "The Earth Do Move" has gone insane, and, it is said, all because he couldn't get a pension. Is it possible that a colored man couldn't get a pension under a Republican administration? A drive through the country now will show the wisdom and foresight in the passage of the stock law.The old unsightly rail fence, under the judicious enforcement is fast passing away, and the ground formerly
occupied by the weeds, briers and fences is being cultivated up to the side of the road.
Thursday night was All-Hallow Even, which the boys call "Holly Eve." Friday was All Saints' day. It was fixed as such as it was found impossible to set apart a day for each Saint. All-Hallow Even is a night for mirth and mystery, and the young people always celebrate it as a time for mischief making, and some times in quito a serious way. Last Thursday night was no exception to the rule.
Pumping the People For Something to Print. A CoiitsiER reporter hears a good deal of till k about the cross on top of the new Episcopal Church."Why, that church must be like the Catholics," many will say. Some 'people seem to be frightened at a cross, as a bull would be at a red flag, and why? It is an emblem of Christianity, recognized as such by
Catholics and protestants alike. A cross will be. found on many protestant churches besides the Episcopolian. We can account for the prejudice in no other way than that the cross is a prominent feature in the Catholic Church. The Episcopal Church is like the Catholic in that they keep nearly the same Holy da j s, the congregation takes an actual part in the services, and probably one or two other forms of worship ; but the doctrines oif the churches are as different as are the Catholics and any other protectant denomination. We can say this much however for the Catholics: If the protestants would be as particular in putting forth men and women for church leaders--offieers, Sunday school teacher3,&c. a& the Catholics, there would not be as many skeptics, and their churches would noil; be in such common ridicule. . A Courier reporter met several men on the steets this week looking for wood sawyers, and two or three others on the hunt for a washerwoman. One of them said he had walked the town over in search of a. man -to say nothing but saw wood," and couldn't find one. He said : "About the last thing a man does is to go into the wood-sawitg business, and I don't blame him. If this thing keeps on we will have to organize a wcod -sawing company or take the advice of a noted physician, who,in prescribing for dyspepsia, said, 'Take saw-dust pills, and make your own saw-dut. What has become of out steam wood-sawing machine?" As for the washerwomen they had so much to dothey

don't like it get somebody else. Haven't got a sawed stick of wood at mv house, nor haven't had a
'biied' shirt for a week. And as for clean socks, why I would have to wash my feet to find the last pair. Last Sunday night Elder Ross of the Christian Church announced that on the following night he would pro Ye by the bible that Noah was a woman. A highly respected citizen in conversation with the Courier this week severely criticised such action from the pulpit. He thought that it smacked of buffoonrjr, such as showmen use to advertise their performances. Such methods were calculated to lower the dignity of the pulpit, While he did not say so directly the Elder intended to
convey the impression that he was referring to Noah of the Ark, On Monday night he read averse from a chapter in Numbers where Noah,a woman, is spoken of. On the other hand a member of the church explained that it was siniply a piece of pleasantry to see how closely those in the congregation had been reading their bibles. However no doubt a large number found out for the first time that there was a Noah of each sex.
