OUTING NO 3.
It was Sunday. I was standing on tbe
hotel porch awaiting tba ringing of ths
din jer-bel!. A young mart that I had
never seen before cams to me and asked
if tbe camp-meeting had closed . Judg
ing from his actions and the expression
of his face, my first impression was that
he had been at Waterloo and was nnder
tbe influence of the strong mineral wa
tr at that place. Afterwards, however.
l concluded that he had not been at Wa
terloo but was not compos mentis. His
talk was rambling and incoherent, and
his statements, were not consistent with
each other. In the course of the conver
sation, be said that he was from Scio.' I
asked bim what kind of town Scio is.
"Nice town" was his reply. I told bim
that I could not see how a town in which
the hoodlums decked a preacher in a watering-trough
could be "a nice town."
His reply was: "I am glad that tbey
did it. It gives tbe people something to
talk about" Soon after this be began to
uimaeii very ireeiy ia regard to
the inconsistencies of preachers and
chri.tians,aod I inferred that he was not
a member of any church. He was espec.
ially severe on professors of religion, In
cluding preachers, who take a little wine
for their stomach's sake and need fer
men ted wine on sacramental occasions.
In tbe course of his talk he used the
following Isngusge: "ft Psul, an old
crank, bad not advised Timothy to uke
a tittle wine for bis stomach's sake.there
never would have any whiskey been
made." J ust then tbe dinner-bell rang,
and I left bim. In a few minutes be
came into the dining-room. Justoppos
ite bim were two young men with whom
be was acquainted. In bta conversation
with tbem, to my surprise, be told tbem
that be was going to preach at Lebanon
tuai evening.
About three o'clock in the aftarnnne
while silting in my room, I beard a very
peculiar .style of singing. I put on ay
hat and went to search of tbe sin:er.
Before 1 reached him, the singer bad be
come a preacher, who was walking to and
fro on the hill-side near the Mineral
spring.gestlculating violently and speak
o in wv tone oi voice. l will not at
tempt to give a synopsis of bis talk. This

ly. At im close of but sermon, as be
called it, some one asked bim toainr an.
other hymn. He did so in hie pecobar
way. I waa told that be always sings
the same tone, whether the measure is
lung, snort, common or halleluiah.
lioforetbe recent election, when hu
letters appeared ia tbe papers.I was told
that be was "only batf-witted." Per
haps that is as good a way of putting It as
any. His mind .a evident! not well bal

sponsible for what be eays about some
preachers and proteasing christians. It
seems to me Uiat be la an object of pity
rather than ridicule aod rough treatoieoc.

of themselves. Perhaps a reform-school

P. S.
W hat the Oak ville correspondent says,
in last Thursday's DKMormat. in regard
to tbe man who '"repaired Um fence be
tween bis goats and bis brother-in-law,"
is respoosiolc for this post-scriot.
While I was taking a morning a!k,
a few days ago, I aaw a large flock of
goaU by i be way. While I was looking
at them their owner came along . I said
to him thai I could not see what a man
wanted with so miny goats. Hlarepty
was that tbey are the moat profitable
stock a man can keep. Tbe reason, a,
signed wss, that tbe fleece of every goat
ia worth $1-55, and that every lamb ad
ded to tbe flock is worth $3.00. While I
was on my return to tbe hotel, I found
that a number of tbe goata bad. In tome
maooer, found their way into the College
grounds. I wss al a toes to know bow
tbey got over tbe fsoce. Tbe mystery
was soon solved. Two boys and a dog
came aloog. The goats made for the
fence aed were soon on tbe other side of
it. Neither toe boys nor the doc CDUld
here crossed tbe fence in a shorter time
and witn more aoDeront ease. After
wards I saw others in another field
mount the fence and walk akwg tbe top
rail a short distaoce, apparently having
lees trouble in keeping the center of
gravity over the bees than eotee Albany
boys do in walking tne railings ef the
canal crossings. 1 aiterwarue learned
that tbey loo.Uks those described by tbe
Oakviils correspondent, have a fond nee
for orchards and do not consult tbe in
terests ot their owner any more than
those of the owner's brother in-law.
Now the question arises. Are they so
profitable ailei all? It seems to me tbey
are not, unless the owner is able to re
pair ' tbe fence between btuostta and
bis brother-in-law" ia such aTiay at to
prevent their depredations. C.
