About two miles north of Battle Ground stands the little log but in which Bishop I. W. Joyce was born and reared. It is about twenty rods from the Monon railroad tracks, and is in the center of a green field of wheat, It is an interesting 'spot, 'made so because Bishop, Joyce was born there. When a.

little boy in homespun, trousers his feet trod over every foot of ground about the hut. To-day they support the form of a great man whose position is sacred, dignified and one of the most responsible and honored that man can attain. It is for a life-time, and no man ever' filled it who was more worthy of the high honor. There is but one room ia the hut, and if it could, what interesting reminescences of the boyhood of Bishop Joyce it would relate.

Mary's Catholic church at Anderson, and a well-known and popular man, has been assigned by Bishop Dwenger to Fulton, an out of the way place in northern Indiana, described as containing 250 inhabitants, surrounded by a big swamp, and eighteen miles from a railway. This appointment is regarded as a tyrannical whim of the Bishop, because of Father Weichman's refusal to build a new church at Anderson.
