It isseldom that poor humau nature
sets its mind on a day for any general
enjoyment, or congregation for aspec
ial purpose, hot the clerk of the
weather puts in a decided veto in the
shape nf "inclement weather," "bad
roads," or other disngreeabilities; yet
a more auspicious day for the occasion
could hardly have been, than was lat
Sunduy, for our Geiinau friends at
Febiug, and for near fifty miles round
about, to congregaro to witness the
ceremony of dedicating to sacred pur
poses Hid iu'ir Bei m, ti,e Lutheran
Church at Febing, Benton precinct,
this county. It seemed, indeed, as
though the Eternal One had smiled
an approval at the dedication of one
of the deadliest instruments of war,
in another shape, to the purpose of
calling His people together for de
votional purposes.
The history of this bell, in brief, is:
It is made of cannon captured by the
Germans in the Franco-Prussian war,
and presented to this congregation by
Emperor William free of transporta
tion at Troy, N. Y., where the bell
was cast. It seems, in fact, a" great
advance upon the peaceful suggestion
to heat tho sword into a prunufg
hook ;" for in this transformation the
instrument that bealched forth death
and destruction now calls to eternal
life.
As above stated, the day was beauti
ful, air bracing and invigorating; and
vehicles and horsem-iii might be seen
tending thither from ail points of the
compass. Brownville, Fall's City,
Salem. Humboldt, Table Rock, Te
cmnseh, Nebraska City, and the coun
try bewteen were represented, which,
with the congregation assembled at
least one thousand persons.

Mr Hempner, of Silver Creek, in the

was performed by the resident minis

Rev. Mr. Hempner, of Silver Creek,
Rev. Mr. Beckmann, of Long Braneh,"
ami Rev. Mr. Peoverllug; which,
those who understood, say was very
impressive and well rendered.
At noon it was pleasant to see the
members of the congregation vieing
with each other in their hospitality to
the strangers. Surely none went
aw .-13 hungry, as every members table
wa spread with the sub-tautials and
delicacies of the land, and every dour
was thrown open to the guests. We
had so inany invitations, that by rea

of hurting some one's feelings, we
were in imminent danger of remain

it being evening, he concluded to go
down town and-.ee the boys, while we
"whooped up" the fire and perused
our exchanges. We mode a good fire
and soon became deeply absorbed in
our exchanges. Few moments in a
checkered lite could parallel our sur
prise, or the Judge's chagrin, when he
opened the door and his mouth al
most hifmfitaueou?ly, with the excla
mation "the molasses is all burning
up!" It was true; the dhdi" boiled
over, uuwatched ; our hope of taffy
that night had gone to smoke, and we

Judge's assistance, a couple of chips
and the hatchet, forthwith to throw
out of the window what bad boiled

got it out, it is only neces-ary to lay
one's hands on the window sill, take
hold of a chair, or, in fuct, to touch

will at feast deliver up the bonds that
have been deposited for the company
when the road i- completed through
the county. We would warn the Dr.
and other railroad men that this rnau
ucr of trying to forco the people to
compl3 with their demands will re
act against them in the coming con
stitutional convention.

Many changes have taken place in
that time. Large fields of cultivated

have taken tlje place of the small cab

have not been brought about by the

by the industry rind frugality of the
