GREELBY's LETrERs.-The reader will observe
that the date Of the present number of Gree
ley's Letters is anterior TO that of the proceed
ing week. Although ont Of its numerical or
der, its appearance is IN accordance with the
order Of its reception. The letter we publish
this week is one of the most deeply interesting
that we have published. 1t gives an insight u-
to the workings of Mormon life and manners,
and Mormon Institutions.
BUSINESS CuANcE,-We regret that our next
door neighbor STocKwELL, has been constrain-
ed to yield to adverse circumstances, and close
out his paper and drug business The concern
has by purchase passed into the hands of Mayor
HENDRY, who is adding materially to the stock
As soon as returns can be had from New York
the public will be able to find a good supply Of
choice family groceries, more complete stock
of drugs and popular patent medicines and
stationery, &c, sc. Mr.. HENDRY's genial dis
position, aud tact and business qualifications
will not leave him without good share of
patronage
CoNYEAUT FAIR.--Our neighbors on the East,
are making becoming efforts to throw as much
interest as possible into their coming fair, and
having much of the right kind of tact for get
ting up these enterprises, genial soil, pref
ty good "hang of the school house," they will
no doubt reach the object aimed at.
Is anybody moving in the matter of procur-
ing course of lectures for the approaching
season If there is nothing doing belo,c, more
thhn appears upon the surface the case cannot
be very hopeful one What say you gentle
men of the Social Library Association, who
ure entrusted with this business
The Tribune prints list of l94 men and 8
women who are ready to answer invitations for
public lectures this next winter
Horse STEALING.-Two thefts of this kind
have been successful in this neghborhood
within short time, one from j. B. WATRoUs
OF this town, aud another from j. j. Epson, of
Geneva. This business. like the hopping cough
or measels, is apt to have run for a while, and
our citizens will do well to exercise little more
thah ordinary vigilance to avoid loss, and to
keep their powder dry.
STARTLING CoNcIDENCE.-Wh Rev. S. B.
Webster, of Painesville was preaching before
the Grand River Association at Geneva, last
Wednesday evening aud at the moment while
he was Illustrating TRUTH by startling allu-
sion to burning dwelling, the flames were ac-
tually consuming tile house of an aged couple,
who were sitting thrilled with the eloquent
words of the preacher.
COMFORT WETMoRE and wife had early in the
evening left their home in the care of two little
girls aged about IL years, one an adopted child
Of the old people, the other a grand-child who
was on visit to her grand parents. As they
neared their house, after the evening service,
they discovered the house to be on fire, aud
soon found the adopted child badly burned,
but not fatally, she had crawled out at the win
dow and vainly entreated her companion to fol-
low, but frightened out of her reason, she took
refuge under the bed and perisbed She was
soon after drawn out with hooks her head aud
limbs mostly consumed. The father of the
Che girl is Barnard Wetmore. The origin of
the fire is not known but there is no reason to
attribute it to the carelessness Of the girls.
ToENsHIp FAIR.-A meeting of the Exeeu-
tive Board will meet at the Office of Judge FAs-
sETr, on Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, for
the transaction of business connected with the
approaching fair
The Secretary informs us that the entries are
being made, much in advance OF last year, and
the idieations are highly gratifying that the adj
dtiona interest shown will have a corresponding
result in inviting competition and adding TO
the funess aud completeness of the exhibition.
Our citizens will no doubt all participate4h this
interest, and aid in encouraging the board who
constitute the workers, and upon whose gener-
