Pardee returned this week imbued with the idea that aConvoca i.ii would be a grand thing to have on the Park about the middle of Sep tember. His plan is to have the Con vocation consist of a series of lectures on revival work, and some revival it self. addresses on Sunday Schuol work, temperance work, and musical and literary entertainments, and a harvest home the whole to be combined and list about ten days. The thought is a grand one. It will prove the larg est and richest feast yet held on Simp won Park. The best talent in Dakota will be drawn upon if the Convoca tion is held. ikkke I xiveiisity, in its Second Annual Catalogue, affords proof of success. It promises to begin its next year in September with three prepar atory, and at least three collegiate classes. McCormick Hall is finely lo cated at the east end of the city of Pierre, and admirably adapted to its uses. Pioneer Hall is a home for young ladies. Kooms and board for young men are provided in the town. Students will here find the advantag es of a thorough education in the pre paratory, classical, scientific, normal, and musical departments moderate tuition fees, board at low rates, pe cuniary aid or means of self-help, a •eading room, literary societies, a Y. M. A., and various other religions privileges in the institution and in the community. The Trustees say: We announce to the public that we have been so fortunate as to secure the services of Rev. Wm.

July 20.—It developed here to-day, on examination of the secretary's edition wf the session laws tor 1S85, that the act for the suppres sion of noxious weeds, passed and ap proved last winter, is omitted from the books. The law calls for the county commissioners to advertise re ^aiding the pulling of these weeds be fore til.' 27tii iust. The omitted law will be sent out to-morrow as a sup plement.—St. Paul Globe. The Pioneer Press, of the 21st inst., ^oes even a step farther than the above, and says that the law was om mitted "by a blunder of tin enrolling ••ierk." Mr. l'ieree, of Salem* 1) T, enrolling clerk of the last House, ac* rompanied by Hon F. A Kldredge of i his city, also a member of the last House, were in the Hekald ofllce yesterday jmd both positively assert that no such bill ever passed I ue House last winter, and Mr. Pierce bas already written o the secretary as\mg a certificate to that effect, for as the charge now stands it places Mr Pierce in a wrong light.

Several very able lectures, besides sermons, and literary and musical entertain ments were given. Rev. Hmgeley's lecture of Friday evening entitled, "Among Dykes and Smells and Bears'' was a colloquial narrative of much in terest, descriptive of a tour through the Netherlands, up the Rhine and in Switzerland. Dr. Van Anda's talk Saturday afternoon, and his sermon Sunday morning were effective dis courses and much appreciated but these were eclipsed by his scholarly lecture on the "15ible and Art." de livered to a goodly audience, Sunday afternoon. Sunday evening Rev. Wm. M. Blackburn, D. D., president of Pierre University, lectured to a large audi ence on, "The Moral Elements in Ed ucation." This was a soul-stirring sifting of the false'.claims of would-be scientists as contrasted with the truths taught by the Bible and Chris tianity on which alone can any true and lasting system of morals be found ed. To preserve and promulgate this highest and only true system of mor als. Dr. Blackburn made an unanswer argument in favor of the use of the Bible and Christian teachers in public schools. Dr. Blackburn lectured again Tuesday evening on the subject "IIovv to Teach."but with much re gret we could not attend. On Saturday and Monday evenings the Misses McClarv and Miss Dexter, of Minneapolis, gave literary and musical entertainments of much mer it. These young ladies are quite pro ficient in their respective arts and won the praise of all who heard them. Tuesday afternoon, the M. E. and Congregational Sunday Schools of Or tonville. were largely represented on the grounds and were joined by simi lar delegations from the Sunday Schools of this city. The gathering was addressed at length by Supt. Par dee, followed by rich words from Rev Fairbanks and Rev. Kemerer, both of Ortonvile, and Dr. Blackburn. Despite the day of small things, the first Sunday School Assembly of Simp son Park is but the harbinger of grander things to be. Everything for an effective series of meetings is al ready planned and the work is to be broad and deep, The moral and spir itual forces at the back of this enter prise know no such thing as fail, and whatever vicissitudes the manage ment may encounter from time to time matters not, the cause will stead ily and irresistably go forward. coit.mt v omiissioj:iis.

Chas. Mann sen his daughter, about eighteen years ot age, to school at Lake City, Minn., last fall. Shortly after, Geo. Westcot a farmer and neighbor, left his ife and two little children, but nothing was then suspected. Soon, Mr. Mann learned that his daughter had left school and gone, no one 111 Lake City knew whither. In his efforts to find his daughter, the father incidentally discovered that Westcot was living in Brainerd, Minn., with anothei wo man, and his fears soon realized the worst, namely that the woman was his own daughter. They had been living together as man and wife ever since last fall. The pair were speed ily apprehended, and Mr. Mann s first impulse was to avenge his family s disgrace but nothing that man could do or suffer would wash away the stain. Pity alone for his daughter prompted his action, and as he passed through here this week 011 his way home with his lost and ruined child, every heart went out in sympathy to wards him.
