MEssRs. ED1roRs The congregation
of Disciples in this place have Just closed
very interesting meeting, which. after con-
tinuiug for two weeks, resulted in the addi-
ton Of thirty-four to the church, and the
awakening of many others in the commu-
nifty. 1t is hoped much good has been
done. The meeting was conducted with
much ability by Messrs l. A. Garfield and
H. w. Everett. - nTe
Religious reviyals are very numerous,
and 1 should Judge very successful this
winter, which can be accounted for by the
hard times, perhaps. At any rate, they
may prove a blessing rather than curse.
The Chillicothe Gazette says, "a revi-
val has been going en- for some time past
in the Methodist Episcopal Church"
A New York correspondent Of Boston
paper says:
The daily prayer meeting in the Old
North Dutch Church, has outgrown the
place of its origin. The large Lecture
Room is crowded to repletion. The Sun
day School room has been opened, and
that is also filled TO overfowing: At this
week the room in the third story has been
thown open and that is also crowded
and sometimes the voice of swelling praise
can be heard from many hundred voices all
at the same in different tunes and hymns in
each room, but in no respect discordant.-
A large number Of the persons who attend
is young.
Clerks and others come with bank books
in their hands, pencils behind the ear,
memorandum books just peeping out of
their pockets, and other marks of trade
about them, and join heartily in the seryi-
ces. Carmen and wagonmen drive up
their teams to the curbstone, in their frocks
with the marks of their employ on them,
come into the meeting, join heartily in the
song ofpraise, kneel down and pray, and
then pass out, jump on to their teams and
drive off to their work. All classes are
here.
A person in writing from Worthington,
O., to the Columbus Gazette, says:
During the last few weeks, the hearts of
Christians have been awakened, sinners
converted, and God more glorifed. Twen-
ty-one have already been added to the
church, and many more are asking 'swhat

darkness of the night, the inclemency of the
weather, nor The almost impossible condi-

(Presbyterian) from being filled. The
Methodist Church has also shared in the
same rich blessing, and the entire harmony
with which the two churches have moved,
has most beautifully exemplifed the prin-
ciples Of the gospel Of Christ-that Chris
tians love ene another.
The Steubenville (O.) Herald says the
grand anniversary ball for the 22d, in that
place, proved total failure, not single
couple presented themselves, and not all
even of the managers came. There was
music and supper, but no one to participate
the prevailing seriousness" filing the
churches and emptying the ball rooms.
The Warren Democrut says:
Revival meetings are now being held in
the NJ E., Baptist, Presbyterian, and Dis
ciple Churches of this place. On Monday,
several persons were added to the last by
immersion.
The Mansfield Herald says:
Religious meetings are still in progress
at nearly all our city Churches and with
good results. There has been .goodly.
