adopted to close out ttheir entire (tock

A Preachers' tinner
I have a fancy Mr. Editor that
many of your readers would not bo dis
pleased, if they have set betore them
from time to time some of the things
that are said aud dime, from mouth to
month: at a dinner we have iu a pleas
ant little out of thn way place called
iloly-outu Valley. Perhaps too, they
would like to know who aud what we
ate. Weil we are really a set of very
j'lod leliows. Each one is far enough
removed from the other to be saved
trotn any feeling of jealousy Ao as
for the hideous torm of Prosclytus it
never lor a momeut ventured anions us.
Wo meet, in tho vestry of Good Bro.
MceKei's at Holy-cum Valley because it
is ub.iut equal distance from all the
brethern, aud although of course none
of your good readers ever heard of the
place, as it lies far removed from the
busy rush and din of worldly life, yet it
is convenient for us, and we look lor
ward from mouth, to month, to our
mooting, with no little pleasure. I d i
not know that we ever say any great
things, or bright thinrs. But we do
read tome aud wheu we meet if noth
ing else comes up to ocsupy our attea
tiod, we discuss the books we have
read. As I said before we regard our
selves as good average people' Kind
aud friendly one toward another. Al
though there is not two of one denom
ination represented among us yet we
often exchange pulpits and delight to
do oue another a kind act. In the
summer time we exchange our place ol
uieetiug and have our essays and dis
cussions io a kind of Arcadian style
Its pleasant I tell you for most of us we
have become so well acquaiuted with
one anotbers character and habits that
we enjoy the association. We lorm a
pleasant, comfortable cluster, of preach-
r I v .11 .a.
log folk, ana 1 ao not Dtneve mat
anyone of our numbjr, ever had reason
to suspect the others, of doing anything
that is Dot right, and true, aud mauly.
We are all different in temperameut
and ways. One is of a liberal turn of
mind, another a thorough orthodox,
trained in the most rigid style. Well
there; I am giving a full discriptiou of
the various members ot our dinner
party without knowing whether you Mr
Editor or the readers of your paper,
would wish to have me do so Porhaps
I had better stop now, until I bear from
you and if acceptable next week I will
give you a description of the vestry in
which wo met, the persons that meet
there, with their names aod ideas con
cerning miller and things.

A Latter Fnm Justice.
Pidgwny Nov. 5, 1875
Mr. Editor The readers of the
Democrat have been highly entertained
during the last few weeks by a number
of letters that have appeared from time
to time over the signatures ofSeNiX,
Reader, Constant Reader and
Puella. It would not be possible to
suppose that they were all from the
hand they are so different in tone.
Reader, Constant Reader, and
eke Puella, are evidently by old fogies
and not at all up with the progressivj
spirit of the age. Wha were Chrysos
tom, Augustin or Lactaotius, fathers ol
the Church, compired with "Soott and
Henry" or 'Deiitzsch" (?) referred to
by Senex, or what authority had the
councils of Constantinople, Ephesus,
Chalcedcin and Nice, when compared
with that of the ''Evaugelical Alliance
in New York?"
Why must Reader and Constant
Reader go back Irom 1200 to 1600
years for authority when they can find
ample declarations of fuith not more
than two years old? This of itself
shows that they are behind the age, and
the whole spirit of their letters, so slangy
aud ungentleuianly, shows that they are
eminently unSt to enter into a public
discussion with a yenlltman of the
breeding, learning and literary ability of
Seocx.
And Puella, though she miy be a
lady, is certainly not a gentlewoman of
the present day, or she would not have
gone back two centuries to quote a
poem, which, though it may be classic,
and knowu to every lover of English
poetry, is still so old as to be musty
with the lapse of years. It is true that
there is not in the English, or any
other language known turn?, a poem or
other literary work that to laitlil'ully de
scribes an addle-headed, boasting aud
puny pretender to all knowledge, secular
and religious, as that from which
I'll eli, A has to liburaily quoted; but
Senex is not such a person, since hit
command of tho most expressive words
and the grau lul manuer in which he
clothes thoughts that burn, are evi
deuces that he has received a very lib
eral education. Commencing with the
first "Thoughts as They Occur," we fiud
the sann ea-ry way of complimenting
t lie geutlcmau of whim he was then
writing, that we fiiid in the last three
column letter as applied to Reader,
Constant Reader and Puella. No
one could doubt that these letters were
by the same hao 1. Eery writer puts
an "ear-mark" upon his productions
that at once betrays his breeding and
education und from these "Thoughts
as They Occur" it is easily to be seen
that i'enex is a itntn'inan, without fear
aud without reproach, before whom the
reputation of a Bayard lades away,
faint utid iudisiiuct, like the ink upon
those luu.sty piroliiueuts from which
Reader und Constant Reader da
rive their ideas of Religion and the
Church.
No, Mr. Editor, when a gentleman,
having the learning and ability, so evi
dently belonging to Senex and who
above all has do'ie no vroK. is attacked
iu such a dastardly and cuwardly man
uer sa marks the anonymous attacks of
Reader, Constant Reader and
Puella, I for one shall be always
ready to siand up for hiiu and maintaiu
before all the world that be is gentle
man, poet and scholar.
He would not. lor tlie world father
an untruth, much less tell a lie, and
though appearances are much against
him as regards the truth, and all the
witnesses condemn him, I hold him a
second Washington.
JUSTICE.
The Eiflo.
Mr. Warner, of Ridgway, and Mr. Fow
ler, one of the crack shots of New York
filate had a match at Jamestown a few
days ago. Mr. Warner reoruited a com
pany of sharp shooters in this section iu
1801 for Berdan's regiment. Hut for one
unlucky Bhot, he would moat likely have
beaten Fowler. The distance was 40 rods
The D mocrat says:
The wind was unfavorable for the most
accurate Buooting, but the "stringi'' were
remarkable short oues uuder the circum.
stances. The men were quite evenly
maicn.a auu ine contest over (lie "aggre
gate" would have beou much closer hud it
not been fur an unfortunate shot of War
uer's from some unknown cause, which
lengthened bis fourth "string.' As the
maioti lesulted each won two "strings "
while the aggregate of Fowler's suing
was 7 inches iliurter than Warner's. Ac
ourdiug to the conditions of the match 'he
purse was divided iuio five parts; oue hun
dred dollars a i le was placed on eauh of
thestrings, and ouehaudred dollars a side
upon the "aggregate." So Fowler came
out just $100 uhe id in the end.
Ihe system of scoring is explained as
follows: Ihe distance of each hot fruai
the center is measured, and the agb'sate
uiBiaucB oi teu suois irom ilie center con
stitutes the measurement for oue string.
The following are the soores. given iu in

The following; obituary notice on the
death of Wm. Crawford, son-in-law id
Mr. Charles Mead, ot this place, has
been handed us (or publication Al
though the death ocourred on Aug. ID,
it was not known here until last week.
Spring Valley, Iowa, Aug. 24th, 1875.
Editor Press; It is with feelings
of the most profound regret that we are
called upon to mourn the loss of an es
teemed lrieod and neighbor, although
living in an adjoining county. Mr.
Wni. Ctawford, bora io the state of
New York, March 4th, 1825, departed
this life on Thursday, Aug. 19th, at 3
o'clock P. M. with hemorrhage of the
stomach.
Oo Sunday Aug. 15th, he was in
usual health and intending to go to
Dunlap the Monday following. I saw
him io the evening and we made ar
rangements to go together. I went home
but had not been there long, before the
community was shocked by the iotelli
gence that Mr. Crawford was bleeding
proluseiy, and it was leared he would
not long survive Myself and wife were
requested to come downjas soon as possi
ble. Co arriving there we found him
easy as far as bodily pain was conoerned,
out feeling a little weak from loss of
blood. A messeoger had been dis
patched to Little Sioux for medical aid,
pnd Drj. Wallace and Kerns sooo ar
rived. They found there had been a
rupture of the muoous membrane of the
stomach, and stated that the chances
were against him. On Monday it was
thought best to have counsel, so Dr.
llice, of Magnolia, was sent for, aod,
arriving about 2 o'clock, the patient
was examined; after which a consulta
tion was held and hopes weje enter
tained that Mr Crawford might recover
if the rupture could be healed. Drs.
VVallaoe aod Kerns went home io the
evening, leaving Dr. Rice to retntio
with the patient till next day, when
they wtre to return. Dr. Rice left
Tuesday noon, and Dr. Kerns returned
in the evening, finding Mr. Crawford
very comfortable. The Dr remained
until Wednesday and went borne io the
morning leaving the patient improving.
Friends called in during the day aod
all felt that he would be around soon.
He was feeliug in good spirits aod very
hopeful until evening, when vomtio
recommenced, accompanied by purging.
The physicians were again summoned,
and arrived about 10 o'clock aud stated
there was little hope, aod at daylight
Thursday all hope was gone. Blecdiug

cal aid could do was done, but all to do

approaching dissolution, and after giv
ing directions for the settlement of his
estate, resigned himself into the hands
of "Him who doeth all things well." A
respectable concourse of neighbors and
friends acoompaiiied the remains to
Magnolia where funeral services were.

genial light and warmth over his own

Mr Crawfurd had made ah of ar

months that he Lad been with us.
Courteous, frank, and a gentleman of no
ordinary ability, all feel deeply the loss
of a valued citizen and a good man. He
was one of the pioneers of the great en
terprise which connects the Atlantic
and Pacifio states, and while in the em
ploy ol the Union Pacifio Rail Road,
exposed to the fury of mountain dorms,
doubtless sowed the seeds of the disease
which has terminated so fatally. Hi',
wife a most estimable lady, is left to
mourn the loss of a sincere friend, wise
counselor, amiable compauioo and de
voted husband; aod in this her hour of
trial her neighbors and friends extend
their heartlelt sympathy for her;,be

thus cut down, but we must remember
that this is the common lot of all, aod

aud if he could he would say to us as he
did to his companion just before his
depirture; "Dont mourn for me for we
shall only ba separated for a short time."
"The living are the only dead,
Th dead live never more to die;
And often when we think them fled
They never were so cigh."
