On Sunday evening, DR.. Joel Hawes pastor of the
First Congregational Church, who last year
travelling in Palestine, gave his auditors brief
sketch of what came under his notice which, as he
said, more and more confirmed him in the truth OF
the holy scriptures and in belefof the inspiration
of the ancient prophets. He selected multitude OF
texts to fortlfy his positions citing among others,
Deut. viii. 10; ID. xvii 1925; Luke xix. 4l-44;
Eek ad. hb &c. &c. and proved, as far as cir
cumstances could PROVE that all the prophecies rela
tive to that portion of the old world had thus far
been literally fuflled: and drew the corolary that
the day OF its regeneration at hand that the
Jews would once more possess their fruitful heritage
and the vine, the olive, and the fig tree, would again
| flourish, where now all was waste and des-
olaion. He truthfully deneated melancholy pic
| ture of Jerusalem, city containing about
two million inhabitants, but reduced to
| less than twenty thousand, comprising all
creeds, colors, and conditions; and gave vivid
description of the revolving rites of superstition and
| ldolatry which he witnessed IN the church OF the
Holy Sepuchre," and which he could compare
with nothing but the sickenng orgies OF a host OF
bachanals Tyre, too-once the proudest city In
| the world whose merchant princes were the
envy and the admiration OF surrounding natlons-he
described as having become literally 6 place for
fishers to spread their nets" while the site OF Sldon,
| the next known city OF Importance, could scarcely
be distinguished from other portions OF the dreary
waste by which it was surrounded. But know,

Yesterday that you have not space spare Tor any

mind after the restoration OF the jews had been
touched upon, that II fortunate thing for
the ancient people of God that the Grand Island specu

aspirations all the vines olives or fig trees they
could propagate in the tropical regions selected by the
Judge, would sing small in an empty stomach

Why they're not circumstance to the real Simon Pures
who constituted the awful array this occasion. The

the days OF Noah don't mean the Judge editor OF 1t

which will exist until the final fulfment of Father
Aler's prophecies then and there duly represented
and that too in manner which could not fail to impress
the most indifferent spectator with the vast importance

During the afternoon, some wicked wags mustered a
company Of grunters alias pgges and after decorating
them itotre with as many scarlet scarts breeche
and chapeaus they could well carry, turned them OUT
when they took their line of march through the Maine
street much to the qualification of those delight in

The weather was well suited for the OCCASION although
rather cooler and cloudier than compored with the
wishes OF those who had neither military any other
wholesome exercise to keep their blood in motion. At
an early hour the troops turned in goody numbers
and during the day the various companies evinced a
much higher degree of discipline than had anticipated
There were exactly dozen companies duty half of
which belong this city viz-Artiery Capt kennedy;
| Governors Foot Guards, Captain Bacon Light Guard
| Captain Seymour Light Infantry, Captain Sprague ;
Captain Boardman. There two "crack companies
from New Haven, viz-Govcrnors Foot Guards, Captain

Thompson, newly organized but perfectly drilled
