AiiolliBr Gootl 31au (iono Wrong;. Soinelhing over a month past, says the Baker City Beveille, tho pulpit of the M. E. church in this city has not been occupied by its rogular appointed pastor, known to the lambs ot his Hock as Bev. J. M. Baughn. By many it was supposed that tho reverend gentle man's absence was duo to conference proceedings requiring his attendance while his statement, previous to his own departure, that his wife had been called to tho bedside of a dying brother in tho east explained the ab sence of his good lady. It now trans pires that this expounder of truths divino one evening met a gontlo man, a resident of this city, who had known him back east in other days and who cordially greeted him by a name that Bev. Haughn had forgot ton to bring out west with the rest of his baggage. This unexpected meet ing so perplexed our worthy pastor that ho left his supper cooking on tho stove at the partonago, locked up tho doors anil as ho iiad no timo left to hunt up a custodian for tho keys left them in tho parsonage door, and as he has not been hoard of siuco it may reasonably bo inferred that ho has an swered "a call" from somewhere clso. Tho woman who po;od as his wife while hero was a widow, whose hus band died of consumption, eleven years ago, at tho house of ono Bov. Bowers in tho state of Kansas.

Throughout the state generally attention is being called by the county school super intendents "to the fact that the exehango of readers closes on tho evening of October .'list." .Such is the announcement .sent forth; hut according to the nj'reemeut by A. S. Iiarncs it Oo., publishers of the read ers, tlio exchange will not close until tho superintendents of the various counties are satisfied that all have availed thenl solves of thu exchange terms who so desire. Tho language of the Harm's Co. on (lie with tho superintendents is as follows: '"Introductory and exchange rates will be continued in force long enough to permit each and every school In tho state to bo supplied to tho satisfaction of tho county school superintendents.'' As there is noth ing in this that says tlio exchange shall close on the !Jlit Inst., and as the superin tendents have not as vet decided that they aroHiitisllod to have thu exchange close at that time, it is likely the exchange will not close as pei sell 'dule arranged by and at tht convenience of the publisher.--. Pro vided tho terms of the contract, as tiled with tho superintendents, are complied with, the terms of tho exchange will not bo in the past tense until the count)'' school superintendents of the state decide that, on the part of tho patrons of the schools, thoy are satinlled.
