on Wednesday Of this week No-dsy,) at Hardin
on Thursday, at Postville on Friday and At
WEsr UNION on Sat nrday-in every case at 2
P. M. We learn from MI. McClintock that the
Deacon was expected at West Union on Satur.
day last and that much disappointment was felt
at his non-arriva1. The Deacon desires us to
state that an error in the dates occurred in
making out his appointments and that the
approaching Saturday was the day upon which
he meant to be ut West Union. He employed
man at Prairie du Chen to carry letter for
West Union TO the McGrcgor P. o. so as to
correct at once the error Of dates, but by some
neglect the letter was not deposited in the Office
here until the s4th. and hence it arrived too late
at West Union TO answer its purpose.
We hope the people will turn out strongly at
all the places named and give the old r. Road
Advocate a good audience. 1t lis for your own
interest to provide way to get your grain to
market if you would have farming to be prof.

you much good, your own shoulder must go to
the wheel-there is no mistake IL, kis. ".-.

ADDICTION, AND IErHArs hUR Z: OF
GIn..-A case Of terrible ar city has just
come e. liaht IN or city. The end of which j.
still inyol'ed in my!tery: but t c detail IF

1kTEREsrrNa CASE OF TRANsFUsroN.-
This operation says an English paper
has been successfully performed by Mr..
Wheatcroft, surgeon, Of Cannock, on the
person of a woman named Wood, resid-
ing there. Immediately after her acouch-
ment, hermorrhage set in, draining the
woman of blood. She felt herself dying,
and summoned her husband to her bed
side. bid him "good bye" and earnestly
requested him to take care Of the chill
dren when she was no more. She then
became pulseless and gasping, occasion
ally breathing, the only sign of life. A
vein was opened in her arm, and one in
the arm of her husband, and as the blood
flowed from the latter it was transmitted
by suitable apparatus into the veins Of
the wife. After seventeen ounces had
thus been elected, the pulse became per-
ceptible, the colorless lips redeemed the
CLASSY eye frightened, and she thank
fully, said, II am better. The case
has progressed very rapidly. and the
woman is recovering. Death was here
literally robbed of his victim. ..

The AntiSlavery Resolutions of tn

The Anti Slavery Resolutions of the
h Methodist Conference.
The Evansville journal, an opposition
parer, speaking of the anti-slavery resolu-
tons adopted by the Indiana Conference,
says: '# sa+.. ., 1888"
These resolutions were all adopted with
great unanimiiy. There is apparently great
Inconsistency in the Positions assumed. If

which they declare it to be, as messengers of
Christ--as chris'ians-as men-they are inn
RELIED by every dictate of humanity--by every
sentiment of the religion they profess-by

christian chulch-to maintain unccasing. re-
lentness war 'pon such a crying sin-sucb an
unmitigatcd wrong. How can men with ten
der conscicnces live hoWly in view of Oh a

form the world, remain passive and Idle in

so monstrous, as brethren and fellow christi ms ?
The resolutions ether It ltify their authors or
lead directly to the rankest p al teal abolition.
Their allegations and conclusions are inconsis-
tent or insinccre. " #
We fear that the Conference has, in this
movement, committed lamcniable error that
will impair if not destroy the influence of the
church in its legitimate sphere. By needing

POLITICAL and party question. it will make the
church potico-rcligious body, and involve it

across the Wapsi. 1t affords us pleasure
to ann Junce that Col. G. A. Bronson of
Brad lord, has the contract for repairing
that portion of the road known as the
Zig slough. extending from the grove at
Forest City to the grove west of that
place, a distance of over half mile
We believe that Col. Bronson will pro-

and we have no doubt that he will put
this road in condition that will defy
the raging waves OF the Wapsi, the dir
ty oserflowings of the sloughs, and the
storms OF the Spring and Fall. This
road should have been improved long
