WOOL A new England herself
it seems, mas been sought for some of our
wool. We copy the following Wool Arti-
Gle from the Boston Courier's Price Current.
There has been a fair demand for dones-
tic Wool during The week, and sales to a fair
extent of both fleece and pulled have been
made at about the current rates for the last
thirty days. We do not learn that there
have been any sales of coarse foreign wool
worth reporting. We understand that the
low price of American wool has led those
who are interested in in the article TO ascer
tain the value of sertain descriptions in the
English market. and il is found that ship
ments may be made to London TO realize
quite as much as could be obtained here.
Samples have already been sent to the Lon
don and Liverpool markets. and we under
stand shipments TO some extent a re about 10
be made from this and other ports.

TO hear the Rev, A. c. Thomas deliver
Lecture refuiing the doctrine of Miller, that

remarks in which he stated that without any

The foundation of Mller's theory wos IT,

lengths of time he allowed for the accom-

by the $500 days in Daniel and the 10
years. That Miller's theory was erroneous
he proved by quoting some other prophecies 5
in which the term OF days and years were
used, and the length Of time taken proves
completely that days and years were used
in prophecy as in common language with

Second Church in Rorb,uy, Mass, 1912.
This Discourse, of 50l pages, is in Mr..
IIammond's Library, and is probably the only
copy in town. 1t is an extraordinary produc
tlon, and in many respects, work Of tran
sccndan, power and beauty, Never before
did the religious sentiment appear more
beautiful than as il gushes, full OF life md
sweetness, from the heart Of its minister, and
overaows many of his immortal pages. 1t
Is the christianity Of Christ, pure and unde-
filed, and in its loftlest aspect. 1T is sweet

much religious love!ness, in this age when
the religion Of Christ is so girted by the
bands of earth that but few seem ever TO find
rest beneath its folds or ever to have known
it in its unshackled lovellnoss, Sublimity,
and truth. The language Of this discourse
is like an eloquent strain Of music, and its
thoughts take hold of the foundations Of the
great deep

We have received a communicat alton
from an unknown correspondent, ami
madverting upon the strange course Of
the Boston Post and other kindred prints
in relation to the rebellion in this State,
in which the writer intimates that the
falsehoods contained in the Post were
not concocted in Massachusetts,. We
are very much inclined to the same opin-
ion. A certain gentleman, well-known
here and elsewhere, an Ex-Lieut. ofthe
Revenue Service, we understand was
heard to repeat, in Public House in
Providence, previous to their publica-
ton, the same or very nearly the same
infamous stories as have appeared in
the columns of the Post abou, our Rhode
Island afairs-and also TO advise the
printing Of them in said paper. What
part, if any, this ex-lieut. took in fur
nishing the black lies referred to for the
Post, has not yet been ascerained, but
if it should be proved that he has been
instrumental in getting up, in any shape,
the falsehoods that have recently ap-
peared in that paper, we hope he will be
called to an account for SO doing, as
well as every other person that may
have been concerned with him.
This stirring up strife and rebellion,
by appealing to and arousing the worst
passions of the ignorant-repeating and
endorsing scandal for the sole. purpose
of adding to excitement, (already sufii-
ciently great and alarming,) should be
considered as criminal Git is in fact more
so, if possible as the actual perpeira'
tion of crime itself
