From a letter written by Miss Ella Helm to her father, Thomas Helm, we learn that Uncle Jimmie McBride, who has been sojourning at Sweet Springs tor his health, has been sadly afflicted. He was pros- trated by a stroke ot paralysis, losing control of both his mind and voice. He 1s now in a sad condition and is not expected to live. About three years since Uncle Jimmie was de- prived of the use of his voice for a while, but it was restored to him through the agency of the galvanic battery. Itis feared that no cure is possible now, however. We sympa- thize with his family in their affliction. The body is life; every atom of it 1s living, and when an atom is alive nolonger, it is no longer a part of the human frame; it becomes an in- cumbrance; nature takes alarm lest it might clog her machinery, and seeks by all the means in her power to pass it out, to convey itaway from the body asthe bees of a hive will kill and carry out any intruders on their premises.—From. ‘‘Health at Home.” Literary husbands are certainly as capable of loving their wives as sin- eerely as other men love theirs; but so much of the nervous energy goes to the brain, that the heart is too Often left to wither away; too much of that energy is. expended. on the intellectual faculties, too httle on the emotional.

The final arrangements for the celepration of the fourth of July in Butler are about completed, and we | can say, froma knowledge of their extent, that it will be grand. The parade will be formed at 9 o’clock, sharp, in the morning, upon tle vacant grounds just north of the west school house. The order of match will be as follows: First, the Butler cornet and reed band ; second, the carriages containing the speak- ers and reception committee; third, | the drawing. | owner of the organ. the grand _ industrial procession ; fourth, Prof. Hahn's cornet band; fifth, the mystic krew of komus and calathumpians; sixth, the township delegations ; seventh, the general procession.

At the grounds Col Crisp, the most of the southwest. tourth ot Tuly oration, to be preceded by the reading of the Declaration of Independence and followed by ad- dresses from other distinguished gentlemen. These exercises will be ! of the highest order ever had in Bates county. The bands, one on each side of the speakers’ stand, will intersperse the program with fine selections of music. After dinner the program, which is too long to entirely carry out in the forenoon, will be finished, after which the afternoon will be de- voted to general amusement. The amusements which» have been provided for the atternoon are numerous beyond mention. beautiful grounds abound in large forest trees, from the limbs of which swings will be suspended for the Jno.

These are only a few outlines of the innumerable attractions which will be presented. The greatest attraction to the la- dies: Tiving outside of Butler, how- ever, willbe the giving away of the fine.parlor organ which has been purchased for that purpose.

Alexander then delivered a | short oration on ‘‘Sunday school work,’? which was appropriate to the occasion and was well received. Adjournment for dinner was then declared in order, and the zssembled masses devoted the next hour to the enjoyment of the bountiful supply of edibles which had been prepared by the ladies. Many ot the young tolks did not go out until after dinner, when a general good time was had, | everyone being free to follow their own inclination. After spending several hoursofthe afternoon very pleasantly the picnickers dispersed. Every body seems satisfied, and that is the highest compliment we could pay- SAFE AND RELIABLE.

Wood preached in the morning upon the question, ‘‘What must I do to be saved?”’ using Acts 2 :37-38 as a basis for the subject. He also quoted other passages of scripture, in which the same question was asked, and drew the inference from the whole that the proper answer to the question would be to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, thy neighlsor as thyself and forsake thy besetting sins. At night his text was 1 Thes. 5:16-1S and subject, “The privilege of the christian.””. The congregations were fair and the ingerest good. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Rev. J. K. Reid preached in the morning upon the topic, “‘A cyclone in the land of Uz,’”’ using as a_ basis of the subject Job 1:19. In the evening his text was Matt. 5:96: “Let your light so shine.’* etc. Rev. Reid spoke in his usual impressive manner. The congregations were large and the interest very good; one addition to the church. NOTES. There was no preaching at the Presbyterian church; owing to ab- sence of the pastor in the country. The collection for the State Mis- sionary Association of the Baptist church, taken up by Rev. Berry yes- terday, amounted to about $11. The Y. P. C. A. met at the Bap- tist church. The leader being ab- sent, Nelson Maddox conducted the meeting, which was brief. owing to the smallness of the number present. The Woman’s Foreign Missiona- ry Society of the Ohio street M.
