From the Northtield Messenger.
Legislative Prayer Meeting.

We are happy to notice, that an effort is be-
ing made by members Of our Legislature to sus-
tain "a prayer meeting at the Capitol. Those
upon whom rest the interest of State legislation
should be men of prayer. A very interesting
state of religious feeling has existed at Montpe-
lier for some months pust. which we hope may
be augmented rather than retarded, by the
present. meeting of the Legislature in that place.
A correspondent of the W. Chronicle thus re-
fers to their first meeting for prayer:
This year some Christian men felt the need
of such meeting, and their obligation to sus-
tain it. They conferred together, and resolved
to make the attempt A note signed ny hall a
dozen members, was handed to the speaker on
Monday afternoon, requesting him to give no.
tee OF such meeting at seven . clock the same
evening at the Vestry of the Congregational
! Church. The house was not full when the no.
/ tce was given.--wc had not become acquainted
with each other-the notice was short, and
some had engagements already made To meet
with Committees ut that hour. 1t was with
much soictude and some fear, that We went to
/ the place of meeting. But truly the Lord is
moving among u.s. More than thirty were pres
cnt earnest and appropriate prayer was offer
ed old sacred hymns were heartily sung many
spoke of the feeling of relief, ard of pleasur,
with which they listened to the notice Of the
meeting. Some had come from the scenes OF re-
vval and had become to feel the chilling effects
ola political atmosphere upon their religious
feelings, and ware longing for the Spirits inlu-
ences, and the place Of social prayer. The quiet
solemnity of the place, and the spirit of prayer
that peryaded the meeting were truly refreshing
All seemed to feel that the meeting must be re
Ipeated weekly. Even this did not satisfy ant
with unanimous assent they agreed to NEE
again, at eight O'Clock on Thursday, for 4
ossraing prayer meeting"

Chief. Justice Redfeld.

I'VE are pleased to receive the following COM
complimentary as it is to our
worthy Chic Justice, from source at least ell
titled to respect and consideration.
EDITOR FREENAN:-As our Rulers are the
agents of the people, selected for the time being
to carry out the will Of the communicated as
the I" servant is not above his master, II AIN
disposed, as one of the people, to descant
little on the conduct of the servants. noticed
that ninety-two of those "most noted for Wis
dom and virtue were inclined to dispense with
the services of Judge Redfed on the bench Of
the Supreme Court. Now | conceive that in
this case the will of the people was disregarded.
In my Judgment the great mass of the people
are very anxious to retain the Court Just as 1t
is, and had the ninety-two accomplished their
object, the people would have said that the
Court was robbed of one of its pilars--ot
one of its choicest ornaments. Judge Redfeld
has presided over that Court with virtue and
an ability which has endeared him to the people
they believe that public gratitude and conf
dence are due to him for the service he has ren,
dered in the cause of justice, Of education, of
virtue, and temperance, and the Public delight
to honor him. He has not only public worth.
but private excellence, not only an able judge,
but Christian man-in all the relations of
life useful and exemplary. Unlike many dis
tinguished men, he has symmetry and harmony
of character-not only is his intellect attended
to and cared for, but his heart and conscience
also. The people believe that this man is, from
his attainments and long experience, emmently
fitted to be Chief of that Court which is called
upon to decide questions of the gravest charac-
ter and most serious Importance. He stands
high in the estimation of the most distinguish,
ed Jurists in the surrounding States, but the
ninety-two, with keener powers of perception,
discover some spot, or wrinkle, Or rather, some
little ADvERB, that units him for the Bench
and should consign him to the shades of private
life. Those servants who knew the will of tleil
masters and did it not, should be visited with
sharp rebukc. JAY.

The November Elections.

We have almost too good news from the re-
mainder of the Northern State elections. Every
Free State, except California has given round
Republican maioritcs. This shows the Admin
istration with I'LL its official influence and pat
ronage Just no where We had rather have
heard that the probabilities of Iincon's election
were good in Illinois but can with good grace
give up the State to the mar who prevented the
admission of Kansas with the Lecompton Con-
stitution.
MAssAcnusErTs.--rhe general result of the
election in Massachusetts, was given last week.
The whole Congressional delegation is Republi-
can. Banks plurality is over 20 1000. The
Senate stards 81 American Republicans and 3
Democrats; House, 1917 Republicans, 10 Amer
leans. and 20 Democrats.
NV JERsEY.--In New Jersey we hear of a
total defeat of the Administration. The whole
opposition delegation to Congress is eleeted--a
gain of three, There is a majority on joint
ballot, which ensures the election of an opposi-
ton Senator.
New YoRK.-Glurious news comes from the
old Empire State. Like Pennsylvania, she
sends an almost unbroken Republican delegation
to Congress, three Democrats only being elected
The majority for Morgan, Republican, for Gov
ornor, is upwards OF 10000.
From Michigan and Wisconsin we have intel
ligence of the same good result. This gives 1
fair working majority in the next Congress. No
a single Free State this side the Rocky Noun
tains uphods the Administration and Califor
MIA gives it only 5000, instead of 10000 tw'
years ago.

parsnips for Winter and Spring Use.

Let them remain in the ground as long as
they can, without danger of freezing in for the
winter. Then dig them, cut off the tops, and
pack them IN boxes, barrels, or casks of any
kind, cover them with moist earth. shaking it

tops so as to keep out to much wet, and let
them stand out of doors until they are we'll

sthe frost work out gradually. The best pars-
nips that have ever eaten we're treated in
this manner, and they were in fine eating or

SUCCESS OF THE STEAM. PLow.-The State
Board OF Agriculture of Illinois offered a
premium Of $4,000 for steam plows It was
expected that three different inventions wonId
be exhibited aud tested at the State Fair.
out only one was on the ground. That was
Fawkes locomotive steam pillow, Lancas-
ter Pa. which excited great interest among
the qrairie farmers, and performed well. The
machine and apparatus with fuel and water.
weighs only about seven tons, and By the use
OF drum or barrel-shaped driver for pro-
pel'ng the locomotive, the difficulty Of mir
ing in soft soil, and slipping on hard, smooth
ground is overcome. The steam plow is
easily managed, and is described as cross
between locomotive and tender, combin-
ing the essential elements OF BOTH mouu;cd
on two guiding wheels and huge roller.
The prairie ground on which it was tried was
baked as hard nearly as brick, but the en-.
CINE turned six burrows side by side in the
most workmanlke manner. The excitement
of the crowd was beyond control, and their
shouts and wild huzzas echoed far over the
prairie.

In Illinois, the uew members of Congress
stand like the present, four Republican to five
Democrat The latter, of course, are Douglas
men. The Republican State Ticket is elected
by handsome majority.
1t now appears that Hon. William A. How
ard of Michigan is defeated. We regret this
extremely, as Mr.. Howard has been one of the
best Republicans in the two Houses His dls-
trict (the Detro) has always been close.
The Washington correspondent OF New York
Tribune says:
The triumph of Douglas in Illinois oxcites
more feeling here than all the rest Of the STATE
elections. 1t is felt by the administration as
the seyerest blow they have yet received
1t has strengthened the reports of the with
drawal from the Cabinet of Secretary Cobb, tc
whom the Lecompton policy of the administers
ton is mainly attributable. -
