Our friend Wm. GIBSON, has several times laid us under obligations for the freshest of early vegetables, and never did we', find the measure stinted. William is a trifle over six feet in stature. himself, which shows that he descends from a race certainly not stingy in bone and muscle. Billy is willing to give as good as he receives, and proves it by the advent of an eleven pound boy, who will date his birth April 26, 1882.

POSTMA, Lawrence,:Kansas. , Kansas Daily Tribune, Lawrence, Kansas, April 25, 1867 THE EARTHQUAKE. Our city was the scene of the liveliest excitement, about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, that it has been our fortune to witness. There is no doubt but this section was honored with a veritable, genuine, old-fashioned earthquake~one that would be a credit to localities a little closer to the quaky regions of the globe. ' We were pursuing our usual avocation, on the third story of the building, everything quieter than usual, when suddenly, without warning, the building connnenced shaking in a manner that plainly indicated something wrong. Our . first impression was that the floor was giving way, and. accordingly we made a hasty transit to the corridor at the head of the stairs. At this juncture the compositors and printers came·rushing out of their rooms with an alacrity that was surprising, and someone exclaimed that the building was falling. The continued and increasing shaking of the whole building fully justified that view, and we suddenly came to the conclusion that we wanted to get out, and that badly, too. We started to go down stairs, but the thought struck �63 The Earthquake (cont.) us that going down two long flights of stairs,·with a three-story brick building traveling the same direction, was not quite the thing. In this dilemma, one of the boys threw up the window opening on the roof of the adjoining building, and if ever a set of fellows went through a window in less time, we want them to come here and let us see them do it. We ran to the cone of the roof, and found it was shaking as badly as the one left, and accordingly ran to the next roof. It was jarring very perceptibly, and, looking down in the street, we saw the whole city going through about the same maneuver that we were at. Everyone was rushing out in the street, and fellows engaged on the upper stories were coming down, six steps at a jump, hair flying and eyes popped·out, in away that'showed something the matter. As soon as we saw it was a general complaint we .felteasier, and left our perch for the street. When we went down the whole city was out, and everyone concurred that it was a serious shock. Everything of a movable nature was rattled in an alarming manner, and in many places plastering was cracked and fell from the walls. A large stone was loosened and fell from the top of the Unitarian Church, and in many houses and stores small articles were thrown ,from the walls. There· is no denying that it was a rather serious scene, and we saw a good many white faces on the street, after it was over. From the telegraph operator we learn it was felt at St. Jo., Leavenworth, Wyandotte, and as far west as the railroad line extends. It lasted about one and a half minutes, according to the report of persons who profess to have timed it. There is no doubt but something. is wrong with the internal arrangements of Mother Earth; but it is to be hoped sh~ will attempt to rectify it in other sections, and not take her medicine in Kansas. I The current of the river was checked by the earthquake, causing it to rise in waves of some height. A tub nearly full of water, in front of Filley & DeWolf's store, was almost emptied by the shock. ·Nothing was talked of, or thought of, last evening, but the earthquake. Everyone had his or her experience to relate, and the whole history of earthquakes was overhauled, and a great many theories advanced, and speculations as to the cause, etc. One little boy gave as plausible a solution as anyone that we heard. He gravely·informed a companion, who was evidently not so well posted, that he "guessed the earth had the bellyache." We judge that boy will be a professor in a district school yet. We could find no one who was frightened, or felt any fear at the time:of the occurrence. One fellow was detailing his coolness, when another impolitely exclaimed, ; "What in the h--l did you run down stairs so fast for, if you wasn't scared?" "Run!" said our hero, "Why, I ran out to see what was the matter." That was just the way with us~we simply went out at the window to see if anything was up. I ---_.----------- --.---------- --'-- .• Kansas. Daily Tribune, Nov; 3, 1867, Lawrence, Ks. ·SHOT.-A son of Mr. John SCHOTT, of this city, was accidentally , shot through the hand.

If that don',t look as if Lawrence was a business town, we have no conception of what would. It was no extraordinary occasion and scarcely indicated a difference from the ordinary business of our place. Frequently citizens of other points of the state are heard to express great surprise at these exhibitions of the active business enterprise of our beautiful city. Submitted by Pauline B.

To be continued �86 MAJOR DAVID STARR HOYT THE HERALD OF FREEDOM, Lawrence, Saturday, June 27, 1857 Major HOYT, who was assassinated last summer, near Fort Saunders, and hastily buried by his friends on Rock Creek eight miles from Lawrence, was disinterred on Tuesday last, the 23rd and brought to this place and buried with military honors. The services were conducted in the Unitarian Church, with the choir furnishing some beautiful music. The Rev. LOVEJOY delivered an oration, and the Lawrence Brass Band closed with one of their mournful and solemn airs. His remains were followed to the grave by the Oread Guards and by a large concourse of citizens, accompanied by music from the Band. He lies buried between the lamented ,BARBER and the brave SHOMBE, in the Lawrence burying ground. So long as men love liberty and hate slavery, so long as they venerate the brave and true, so long as they love principle more than life, so long will they visit the graves of these martyrs to liberty to strengthen their manhood, increase their courage, and kindle the flame of patriotism by the memories of the glorious dead. David Starr HOYT was born in Deerfield, Mass., in the year 1821. He was therefore 35 years old, at the time of his death. He leaves behind an orphan child, a daughter, aged six years. He served in Scott's army in Mexico, and was in every battle from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico. He was considered a brave 'and valuable soldier. He was a scholar and, a man of varied attainments. In 1852, he was with Stephen's surveying party, in running out the Northern Pacific Railroad route, from Oregon to Wisconsin. His services were highly appreciated and well rewarded by the Government. In March, 1856, he came to Kansas with a quantity of Sharp's rifles, which were taken from him at Lexington on the Missouri River. From that time forward he served the cause of freedom faithfully and without interruption, until the time of his death. In the summer of 1856, the Georgia guerilla companies concentrated under Col. TREADWELL, and commenced building fortifications and furnishing themselves with military stores on Washington Creek, ten miles southwest of Lawrence, on the claim of a Mr. SAUNDERS. Word went out from this post and others of a similar character that all the Free-state men must leave the Territory or be killed, but that any Free Mason might come in and he should be safe. The settlers became alarmed at these frequent threats and applied to Major SEDGWICK, commander of the U.S. dragoons at Lecompton to drive them away, or allow them to go do it. Major SEDGWICK sent over'an officer with a company of soldiers, to examine into it, and gather information. The officer reported that there was a company of Southern men building a town and the logs they were hauling were for cabins. New developments continued to alarm the inhabitants, and they applied to the people of Lawrence for assistance. In order to determine what course should be pursued, it became necessary to send a messenger to Col. TREADWELL to ascertain what his objects and intentions were. Major HOYT volunteered to go. Trusting to the honor of Col. TREADWELL as a brother Mason, he expressed perfect confidence in the safety of the enterprise. He left Lawrence in the afternoon of August 11, 1856, ent~rely unarmed and stayed all night with a friend, (Augustus WATTLES), near Bloomington, and in the morning went over to Washington Creek to Saunders Fort. �87 Major David Starr HOYT (con't.) He stayed there until after dinner, left, was followed out on the pral.rl.e by three men and shot. Early next morning, word came in that a man was shot near the Fort Saunders by the Georgians who were under Col. TREADWELL. Two boys who were near the scene of action, witnessed the deed. As Major HOYT did not return as was expected, his friends became painfully anxious for his fate. A large company of Free State men gathered, and established a camp at Dr. E.G. MACY's, on Rock Creek. They sent over a company of thirty men, under the command of Capt. SHOMBE, to search for the body. They called upon Col. TREADWELL for information as to where it was buried, but could get none. After searching nearly all day without success, they fortunately met a company of surveyors who had seen the grave, and directed them to it. He was doubled up and thrown into a hole, his knees projecting from the ground. They took him up,placed him in a wagon, and then carried him to the camp., On being examined by the physicians, it was discovered that he had been shot from behind,the fatal ball entering the back of the head and passing out at the forehead. His face was thickly covered with corrosive sublimate, so as to destroy his identity as soon as possible, and probably in twelve hours more, it would have been destroyed. A strong box was provided by 'Henry HIATT of Bloomington, in which his remains were deposited, and he was temporarily buried ina beautiful grove on the banks of Rock Creek. H~ has lain there in peace a little over ten months, when our citizens have performed the last sad rite of burial, by consigning him to his final resting place. Note: It is not surprising that Henry HIATT would provide a burial box for Major HOYT. Prior to his own death'in 1900 at the age of 84, he completed a coffin for himself which he carved 'from a large log. Submitted by Martha J. PARKER, Clinton, KS. * * * ** Western Home Journal, Lawrence, Ks., May 25, 1882 Clinton Items Editor of the Journal: Clinton~ May 20, 1882 Mr. Carson WICKS has been quite sick in the last few weeks, but is now ,able to be up and around.

' , Eudora has always had many different churches because it's early settlers came from Europe where you find a church Or;t nearly every hil~ . and down in the valley. They are very old and historlc churches. and:-. well kept.Many have beautiful murals and paintings in them because the neople could not read the Bible so the pictures told the Bible story -from the Creation to the start of the early churches. The Church was important to our European settlers as a vital part of their religious and social life.Soon after Eudora was se·ttled in 1857 worship was started in hOmes as Missions,then in larger buildings until the membership grew so a church building was built. The first known church services in Eudora was before its founding when the ~hawneeIndian Chief Paschal Fish,Jr. asked for a Mission school here to provide schooling and religion for his Tribe and others childrenoThe Wakarusa Shawnee Indian Methodist Mission was built at about 1215 Elm Street. The Mission was a two story,rough-hewn building of native lumber with a thatched roof and Dr.Abram still was the Missionary in charge of building the Mission school and director.He was a l1ethodist Minister a medical doctor,teacher,carpenter and farmeroOne son,Dr.AoT.Still practiced here and founded Osteopathy and another son,Dr. James still practiced here many years at 806 Main St.The Still's gave land and. helped to start Baker University. Chief Fish,Jr. was also a licensed Minister by the Methodist Church and helped with church services.The Mission started in 1851 and prob<~ ably closed in 1854 because of the slavery problem. Then Circuit Preachers continued to serve Eudora until the churches were established. The next earliest church 1s the Clearfield Evangelical,now United Methodist,which began as a Class Meeting by German Evangelicals in 1858 with a Circuit Rider Missionary Preacher,who sometimes could come only once in three months o These preachers usually wore out several horses each year and lived only at an average age of thirty-five. They often slept on the prairie grass which was taller than their head when seatoo on their horse.They had only a few trails,practicallY'no bridges and ;. rode in the heat,dust,rain,storms,sleet,severe cold,snow and wind. When the Preacher came to a certain area the word got around and people came for miles around,walking,in lumber wagons,buggies and on horsebackoThey brought a basket dinner and spent the entire day in worship and Christian fellowshipoPeople from other denominations came too as some preachers could only get around once in six weeks or SOo Later when schools were built church worship was held in them until churches could be erected. Clearfield was first called Captain's Creek and was a part of the Evangelical Mission Circuit of Franklin.Sermons were in German there but communication was difficult because these German pioneers came from different provinces in Germany and each province spoke German a little differentlyo In 1861 a Camp meeting was held on the Schendel and Heeder farms and they lasted a we.ek and people lived in their wagons and they held them when the moon was full. In 1880 the Clearfield Church was built on land donated by George Hausman.The head carpenter was William Deckwa who organized the men and members did the building themselves. The original Chancel railing is still in use in the present church.The men made the pews and a high railing down the middle of the church to separate the men and women,a common practice,also in the Quaker,Methodist and other early churches. 1~en the wind was strong, plaster fell on the heads of the worshippers until George Schattenberg put in a beautiful wooden ceiling.Kerosene lamps and wood burning stoves were used until 1907 or 8 0 �... '. '-Y ~ ,. 89 ~- - ----- - --- - Acetylane lights were~sed until 1917. In 1945 the Evangelicals merged with the United Brethren to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church and in 1968 merged with the Hethodis t Church to form the United Hethodist Church.Clearfield E. u. B. and Salem E.U.B. in Eudora shared the same pastor until 1966 and then Clearfield was joined with Wordeno Li ttle information is available about Harmony Free He thodis t Church but a group started in 1856 from the Methodist Circuit rider days in the Harmony schoolhouse six miles south and two and one half miles we$ of Eudora on the north side of the road until 1857 when a church was built one halfmile east and one half mile south of the school on the John Edmond Nichols farm.Mrs. Nichols funeral was tha last religious service held in the building Aug.,I9I8.Rev. Lovejoy was a Methodist Circuit Preacher but felt he had more "elbow room" with Free Hethodists and was the minister there.This seemed to be an English speaking church. Captain's Creek Methodist Church was organized ~n 1859 as a German speaking Class Meeting on the Johnson,Douglas County line, southeast of Eudora.Brother August Mecke served the church first,no regular minister was available ex cept Circuit preachers.During the Civil War,Eudora and Captain's Cree1Cwere with Lawrence on a Circuit.This church was often c alled"Little Blue" because the walls were painted blue inside at one time.The building was erected in 1882 on land donated by the Joe Millers.The land first belonged to a Shawnee Indian named Adams.He sold it to Ed Knabe's father.Ed's widow married Joe Millero Captain's Creek and Eudora Methodist were served by the same minister until 1955 when Eudora secured a full time pastor.VJhen Captain's Creek disbanded a few years later some came to Eudora,Clearfield,Edg6.~­ ton and Gardner.The building is on the Wesley Brecheisen farm and used for storage. . The German Methodist Church began with Class Meetings in 1859 jointly with Captain's Creek and Lawrence Circuit.This group purchased the home at 6th and Main Street in I870.Worship was on the second floor am the minister lived downstairs. In I88r a new frame church was built between eighth and ninth street on Church Street on the west side while Rev.John Ehrsman was the minis~er and in r884 a parsonage was built by Frank Brender but it burned in 1926. This church was torn down and parts of it were used in the buildine of the home at 825 Locust sto Some of the r868 records'mention these people: C.Steinm.eyer,H.: . ..l,.r Rausch, J oGutknecht,Fr.Weibel,AoBromelsick, Julius S.Miller.F. W.l1eyer, Hunziker,~origott(early German name meaning ~ust) Gabriel,Holzappel, D.Huller or Mutter,Ed Capeo The local minister H.Meyer was reminded to have a written report of loc~l conditions of parsonage which had been built in Lawrence,papering etco and if he retracted what he said his license would be renewed. A supervisory committee was appointed Aug.r868 of Three men to examine the character of the minister and another committee of three men were appointed to examine the minister's license to preach.He must have met their requests as he was granted a new license. In 1893 some members were: CoEberhardt~Bartz,Albrecht,Schafer,H. Gabriel,BrinkmeyeriGus Rosenau,Henry Abels,Wuensch,Albert Baecker,W. Gabriel,A. Gabriel,Walters,Kanzig,Havercamp,Bohnsack,Schutteo A~proval for membership list was; Anna Gabriel,Bertha Knopp,Carry(Carrie) Abel, and Brothe Laple is to be excused from attending because of his health, and Brother Albrecht demanded his membership certificate or he would withdraw. In 1893 Lawrence was voted to be removed from the Circuit and Captain's Creek and Eudora would have alternate services in morning and afternoon.Members sent flour and grain to western Kansas people because of the drought. In 1895 Freddie Trefz and George Broers Here -recommended for membsrship and a committee appointed to buy land to build a horse barn on. �91 In 1896 people approved for membership after the reEular six months probation were; Joseph Broers,Frank Broers,Willie Spitzli,Eddie Bartz, George Schafer,George Schneider,Lydia Albrecht,Lt1zie Eberhardt and Tillie Ziesenis. Hesper Friends Church(originally called Quakers) first met at the home of Jonathan and Phebe Mendenhall in I86I,one mile east of Hespe~ In 1862 the group was granted a Preparative Meeting called Springfiel~ A meeting house twenty-four feet square was built of native lumber hauled from Leavenworth. (This are was mostly prairie bluestem grass in those days;few treesL) The first families besides the Hendenhalls were ;George T.Rogers, William and Penelope Gardner,Winslow ,Margaret and Adela Davis,John :: _" Hills ,most all from North Carolina. They were against slavery,military service,oaths,lotteries and paying wages to n.nisters but even in early years had women ministers.They spent much time in worship by silent meditation. In 1864 the Kansas Quarterly Meeting granted them a Monthly Neet ...~ ing.In 1871 members living east of Captain's Creek in Johnson County was granted a Preparative Meeting and in 1872 named it Centre.In 1882 a new meeting house was built, a thirty by fifty foot building at Hesperr and the name changed from Springfield to the name of the town, Hesper. The Church started planning for an Academy and in 1884 started the two year High School called Hesper Academy which served until Eudora High School was built in I9I5.The Church also provided for a Cemetery B near the Church. English was spoken at Hesper,which was three miles south and one mile east of Eudora. The Catholic Church at 300 east 9th Street is the oldest church building in the area.The members organized in 1863 but they must have worshipped together before then because we are told that a Jewish merchant(probably Asher and Cohn) let the Catholic congregation worship . in their general store when a priest could come to town.(Eudora has always been ecumenically minded'citizen's).We have also read that one man in early days walked the seven miles to Lawrence to worship in a Catholic serviceptaking all day for the trip and service. The Catholic Church,Holy Family Church,building first was a 20X 48 ft. room on the southeast built in 1864 by the ~ople.John Kellerman owned land east of Eudora where the limestone rock was quarried. Men who hau1ed the stones with horse and wagons were, Jacob Pabst, Mike Branagan,John Welch and James Brazil.Masons were Casper Weber and Franz Blechel and some good Lutherans,which was referring to the St.paul Evangelical Church members. Other men helping were; Fred Faerber(Eudora's first mayor),Anton Gufler,LW.Pfeif and Leo Vitt. CarDenter's were,Joseph Hertz,Peter Ha~tig(Captain of the first group of Germans to settle Eudora),and John Kellerman,who also made a beautiful Altar.They made the inside trim and furniture too. There was not enough money to buy a bell,so all of Eudora's people gave money to buy a bell to be rung at 7:00 a.m.,I2 noon and 6:00 p.m. as it still is.It is now in front of the new ChurchoMr.Greiner rang it for many years. German and Latin was spoken in the church and it maintains a cemetery and for many years had a Parochial School for elementary students and provided a home for the Sisters who taught the children • . St. Paul Evangelical Church was organized Deco27,1868 by Rev. Christian Haas under the auspices of the Evangelical &ynod of North America.This group of Germans met in homes until the first church was completed in 1871. The present building was built in 1913 and services were started in English in 1916.1n 1919 one Sunday per month worship was in German.In 1934 this church joined the Reformed Church and the Union of the Congregational Christian Church and is now known as the St. Paul. United Church of Christ. �92 -"-- ------------- Charter members were; Christian Thoren,Conrad and WoAltenbernd, Anton and Anna' Gerstenberger,Ferdinand Vitt,Gottlob Koch,Henry Loesch, christian Strobel,Christian Schneider,Charles Vogelsand,Henrich Wittler, P.G. Wagner,F.Fleer,G.Buck,Philip Feld,George Lench,T.B.Torneden,Karl Gantz,T.L.Haelsig,Johann Thnow,Leonard Frey,Jeremiah Schlegel,Albert Bagelmann,Adolph Lotz,and Rev.Haas. The Salem Evangelical Church at 716 Church Street was organized as a German speaking Class Meeting in 1869. The Church was built in 1870 a 26x 40 ft.brick building.The Church was started by Jacob and Chri~tine Strobel.He and his daughters,Caroline and Pauline carried water from the Wakapusa River,over two blocks,uphill,for the mortar for the bricks. Worden,Clearfield,~tull and Eudora were once on a circuit togeth~. Rev.John Wereth organized the church here in 1871 and so~e of these charter members were; Peter Neis,Sr.,Fred Neis,Sr.,Jake l~yers,Jacob Otts,Ernsts and Yosts.In early 1900 only Eudora and Clearfield were on the same circuit. The church joined with the United Brethren Church in 1945. The building was enlarged by a south lecture room and belfry in I905.The rear Annex was built in I956.The entry way window is the Star of David but we do not know why. The Building has been owned by the United Methodist Church since the merger with the Methodists in 1966 and Salem Chapel,as it is now called is loaned to the Eudora Youth Service Organization for youth activities as Boy and Girl Scouts,Cubs and Brownies,4-H,and adult meetings.The EYSO is to keep it in repair but this is a service project of the other Eudora organizations,as well as individuals. Prairie Center had a Friends Church and a Free Methodist Church. 'The Friends began in 1869 but we do not know when the Methodist began but their second church was built in 19I7.These churches were in Johnson County. The Friends Church was started from Hesper Friends and that was called Springfield.Prairie Center was first called just,CENTRE Meetin& In 1888 the spelling was changed to CENTER and in 1894 to Prairie Cen'tPro The first building had a gallery and two steps up where visiting friends and ministers sat although they no pastors then but just religious leaders in the church that were felt to lead and speak. Some of thEe speakers were; Philander Blackledge,Benjamin Nicholson,William Andrew and Jimmy Vestal o The latter sometim es sang as well as spoke from memorYoDavid Ve~tal and Jesse Coltrane were head of the meeting and faced the congregation.When the sun was shining and was straight in the south door they dismissed the meeting by shaking hands oWe do not know when they stopped on cloudy dayso One wedding ceremony was 'performed by the the couple sitting and facing each other ona bench in silence and finally standing and repeating their vows. In 1894 a new church or meeting house was built and Tilghman Couch and Sibyl Andrew sat at the men and women's meeting.Eusebia Couch,mother of Verlan Couch,a Eudora resident many years,ministered for over twenty years and led a Young peoples group,Christian Ende@vor. In 1901 a free will offering was taken to pay the ministers and in 1911 Frank E.Jones asked for pay as a pastor of $8.00 per week in money and a donation of 8 pullets or hens and hay and grain for twenty weeks in winter for the stock and an occasional donation of groceries or wood or both. The government bought the land and the church in 1942 for the Sunflower Ordnance Works but sold the church building back to the Friends where they moved it one-half mile west and one and one half miles south of Prairie Center but in 1959 it was moved to Gardner and called Gardner Monthly Meeting of Friends. �93 --_._------ - -- Kaw Valley Methodist Church was probably organized in early I970 by English speaking people who settled in the Kaw Valley area,northwest of EudoraoThe church building was sold in r888 to the Solon Gilmore1s,who moved it to their farm,a short distance east and who used it for a carriage house. The Church was located west of a brick house where the Jack Hughes family lived many years,about three and one-half miles northwest on the old Eudora Road,also called East r5th Street road o This church was started before the English speaking Methodist Church of r885 was started in Eudora because the Gilmores were among' the organizers of the Engltsh church and Mrs.- Gilmore was the first secretaryo Ther.e were two churches for the large group of Black people here in the Eudora area that probably started about the time the Civil 'dar ended in r864 or the early r870's.One was the Union Church and the other was the Methodist ChurchoThe Black Hethodists held services in the Union church on the first and third Sundays at first and the Union congregation on the second and fourth Sundayso The Union Church was between 6th and 7th street on Church Street, on the east sideoRevoDudley Lee was one of the PastorsoThe Methodist group built a church nearby at 6ro Church street but disbanded it in r920 and it is now a residence. The present church,The First Missionary Baptist Church was built in April 1896 when RevoGeorge Burdett was pastor.He was also a carpenter At one time this church had one hundred and twenty-five members but no longer has services due to lack of attendance as very few black people live in the area any more and those who do are quite elderly. For many years Eudora merchants gave money to help keep the church operating when the membership started to declineo The English Methodist Church was started in 1885 by;Mrso Agnes Fuller,Mrso Tom Rayson,Miss Minnie MCCrea,George Rayson,and Mr.and Mr~ John GilmoreoProbably ~ Kaw Valley Methodist congregation united to form this church. Services were held twice a month and a Baker University student, RevoMeggs conducted these first services.They met. first in the building vacated by the German Methodist congregation at 601 Main St., then in 1886 they purchased the Temperance Tabernacle to the north of the st.Paul U.C.C.Churcho When the English and German congregations united in 1916 the German language was no longer spoken in the sermons.This United group decided to build a new church and the present United Methodist Church at 701 Church Sto was built in 1920-22oRev.John Patterson started the buildi~ program before he left to be a Missionary for Indiaolt was a difficult time to build and the drought years following made it hard for the members to support the building program.

The Church of Christ held services in Roscoe school house,five and one-half miles south of Eudora until 1906,starting in the 1890Is,prob~ ably.-They were sometimes called,ttCampbellites".

For intellectuality, sociability and hospitality we know that they are inferior to none, and for beauty we feel able to take the cake. They have been carrying on for about two years a Literary Social, which they have made a grand success, having not only added to their own intellectual and .social powers, -but have every month opened their doors and invited in their husbands, brothers and friends and given them a treat in the way of some very interesting programs. Such a time was last Friday night, when they met at the house of Mr. and Mrs. E.A. COLEMAN. The large house of the host was full to overflowing of neighbors, and while the children" occupied one room and enjoyed themselves in various games, the elder people filled another and listened to the reading in outline of Howell's "Chaucer Acquaintance," which was read by. Mrs. TOPPING, Mrs. PIERSON and Miss Belle RICHARDSON. The close attention given to the readers showed how their efforts were appreciated, and the look of rapt attention and numerous sighs from the old men showed how their minds were drawn back into the past, when they were young and full of sentiment, and how the book brought vividly to their minds similar scenes in the past, in which they formed a prominent part. After finishing that book, Mrs. CONANT read "A Widow's Christmas," from Harper's, which was received with a great deal qf feeling. Then there was a song by Miss Emma EVANS. Then Rollo DRAPER recited a declamation, followed by a selection by Mr. CONANT. The literary exercises then over, the president said they would have an hour of social talk, which was filled in by friendly greetings among the many present, with some more music, which they all joined in singing, Miss Ida EVANS presiding at the organ. The next meeting is to be a Christmas meeting, in two weeks, at Mr. E.A. COLEMAN's, for the children. In four weeks, at Mr. RICHARDSON's. We left at ten o'clock, and the house was resounding with merry laughter and pleasant voices. Many thanks to the ladies of Kanwaka. May their society always remain on its pleasant and firm foundation. Submitted by Margaret WULFKUHLE ***** Western Home Journal, May 25, 1882 Last Sabbath was a day of special interest to the people of Kanwaka. Their large school-house was filled with an attentive audience, gathered to participate in the organization of a union church. Prof. L.W. SPRING preached an excellent and appropriate sermon, and Rev. H.E. WOODCOC assisted in the organization services, after which the Lord's Supper was observed. Twenty-three persons united with the church and others will join at an early day. Rev. A.M.
