mittee will tako up tho books anel exa?
mine them thoroughlj' to see that they
agree with tho amounts on hand. They

in no instance has tho error exceeded
two dollars, anel it is bolievod that these

Mr. Honry Corbin, of Westerville,
Ohio, has had all the preachers of the

rested for blowing up his salooji with

ought to blow up saloons with gun-pow?

well.

that I thought I would not awaken you
to say that I hail to go out to keep an en?
gagement. Should you need anything,
call upon Jesus." This apparently de?
vout advice rather staggered Mr. Phelps,

thinking that she married quite as well
as she had any right to expect.

mates that the end is not yet.
