Mr.. EDITOR: The corn crop in this
neighborhuod bids fair to be an unusu-
ally heavy one. The Buckwheat also
promises an abun dant yield, if not over
taken by the frost before it natures.
Our farmers are now busily engaged in
cutting their corn and seeding wheat,
which they are with few exceptions dr7-
ling in. Hunts "improved Patent Slide
Drip Is altogether used, and thought
to be as good, if not superior, to any in
use.
The Evangelical association will dcd-
icate their new Church (Monnt Hope)
situated u miles n. E. of this village,
on Sunday the 10Th, Oct. next. The
Ceremonies of Dedication to be pretorm-
ed by the Rev. Davis Hlmbright. The
same denomination, design hol ding a
" GODS Meeting in'he grove of Mr.. Job
Haines, on the ''Platform" of the |. @.
0. F., on Sunday next, 10Th inst, which
will be largely attended should the day
prove favorable. They will, also, hold
a meeting of the same character in
Chapel Grove near Battle Swamp, but
will not likely use the ''OId Platiorm'
spoken Of by my old friend ':Y." COM
menclng Sunday, Oct. 3rd.
The NJ. E Congregation Of this neigh
borhood have in progress of erection,
in the East end of this village, New
Church, 50 by 40 it., walls to be of
brick; architect, Mr.. JOS. r. Thomas, an
excellent mechanic, and worthy citi-
zen. The Church going and Gospel
loving community are expected to
"tork over' literally toward the erec-
ton Of the same.
| hope all will take an interest, and
look upon it as duty they owe to soce-
ty, to contribute something, let it be
ever so little. 1t will be thankfully re-
ccived by the worthy Committee, who
are making every exerton to speedily
complete this highly commemorate
work.
The Rev. Mr.. Hodge, of the Noting
ham Presbyterian Church also favors US
with an occasional sermon; SO you may
infer, that we are not kept in the dark
in regard to religious matters:-yet they
the ministers all address us as though
we We're heather people, and them
selves sent as missionaries to convert US
to the true faith. May success crown
their efforts.
The Rev. Mr. Hodge preached for us
last evening, very powerful, interest
ing and impressive sermon; from vii
chapter, Hebrews. hope he may con-
unue to preach for us when ever health
and professional engagements will ad-
mt.
There are two classes of ,"B'hoys" or
would-be men who frequent our even
ing meetings, and elsewhere, whom,
permit me to notice; First, the smart
business class, who appear so eager to
gain tradition, that they are constant
" running in and out, in order to &C
quire knowledge Of what is going on
both in and out of the church, especial
ly the latter. The second class is en-
tirely higher order Of beings, who
wear standing collars, smoke segars and
swear, and are already too intelligent to
be taught, and possessing, as they ina
CINE, all that is requisite to constitute
gentlemen Of the first water. Such
gentlemen do not stoop to enter churc h
but choose rather to be "out-sders." If
some Of the B'hoys try the above on ri
wager my old Beaver they will obtain
.'Hty.o kELSO.
