quantity being estimated at forty to fifty barrels.

Edward Alexander Guy of Cincinnati, was In 
1SG2 possessor of luo.tMo. lie wa3 a well educated, 
intelligent, young man, and particularly pious. 
Convinced that the scriptural text: “Sell all that 
ye have and give alms," was a binding injunction, 
he began to dispose, of ills property and give the 
money to the poor, lie bestowed the gifts slowly 
and carefully, and It was not until 1S70 that the 
last dollar was gone. He is now a religious mis¬ 
sionary In Cincinnati, penniless, but completely 
absorbed in liLs work. 
A young man in Norridgewock, Me., dreamed 
that he was a minister, that his companion was a 
Judge, and that he opened Ills friend’s court with 
prayer. The dream was a subject of only passing 
comment. That was thirty years ago. Lately, 
the Rev. Dr. Charles F. Allen, the dreamer, drop¬ 
ped Into the Supreme Cour t, at Augusta, where his 
old friend, now Judge Charles Dan forth, was pre¬ 
siding. TliC Judge thought that the whole dream 
might as well be realized, and so Invited the cler¬ 
gyman to open the court with prayer. 
Willard Brown was deeply In love with Louisa 
Parrott, a servant girl, In his father’s family at 
Martinsville, lud. she asked him to make for her 
a mold of a silver dollar, as site intended to go into 
business as a counterfeiter, and he consented: hut 
her clumsy efforts to produce bogus com that 
would pass proved a failure. Her next plan Tor 
acquiring wealth was to murder and rob old Mr. 
and .Mrs. Brown, and she coolly requested Willard 
to aid her. Although her Influence over him was 
very great, he declined to help her kill his parents; 
yet he promised never to divulge her proposal, 
one night ho suspected that she was about to 
carry out her project and watched her. He saw 
her chloroform the old folks and let hi Joe Greer, a 
desperado, who killed Brown with an Iron bar and 
badly Injured Mrs. Brown. The crime was attri¬ 
buted to tramps, until Willard, jealous of Joe 
Greer’s Intimacy with Louisa, spoke out.
