w We are sorry that the Mechanics
celebration at Espy, Columbia county, was
not successful. Gen Clement, The Demo.
cratic nominee for District Attorney in this
county, was invited TO address them, and
went on for that purpose, but had moi
fitting opportunity of giving the me.
chanics of that county specimen of his
fine oratorical powers. The General is a
fine speaker, and is appreciated as such moi
only in this but in the neighboring counties
At the late term of so1f Court, in the trial OF
an important criminal case, he displayed
unusual abilities, and made an impression
upon the people in attendance at the Court
that will act with great force at the October
election. If the question of ability has any
weight with the voters, (and we believe
that it has great weight,) Con. Clement will
receive a large majority of the voters in

HollO,Oay's Ointment and Pills have effec-
ted another wonderful Cure of Sore Legs
Anthony Harrison Scard, of Martinsburg,
was a sufferer for twenty y-eight years from
sore legs, so bad at times, that human ma
ture could scarcely bear it, as they were
covered with wounds and proud flesh. His
friends had given up all hopes of his ever
regaining the use of his limbs, as he was
in SO piliable state; the more especially
as the doctors told him it was constitutional.
Having heard from several people the good
effects Holloway's Pills had produced in
cases OF this nature, he made up his mind
TO give them trial after using them for
few weeks, he felt much better, and by
continuing them for two months and hall,
he was perfectly cured, after being % years
cripple, and considered beyond human
aid.

AUTUMN.-The local of the Buffalo Replj-
lie says pretty thing in the following -
awe saw dead leaf fall yesterday. 1t may
not be the first token OF Autumn-the dying
year-yet we look upon it with about the
same feeling that a man experiences when
he discovers his first gray hair, or the mis-
cry felt by fashionable lady when all at
once the fact comes home TO her that her
eldest daughter is marriageable female
The crows feet in the corners of the eyes
are the falling leaves of life, and the dead
twigs the gray hairs that have lost their sap,
and tell only OF what has been. Yet Au-
tumn has is fruils,as age has lis experience;
with experience comes faith, as plenty
comes with autumn. Let us then hoard up
faith, as Autumn gathers up its bounty"

A HISTORY OH ALL RELIGIONS ;

Containing a statement of the origin, deve-
lopment, doctrines and government oil the
religious denominations in Europe and
the United States, with biographical
sketches of eminent divines. By SAMUEL
NJ SMUcK Err, Ii. d. Published by Duane
Rulison, Quicker City Publishing House, 33
South Third Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
The subject of Religion and the Doctrines
of Sects must always have an absorbing in
terest for the thoughtful observer, and u
work which affords the desired information,
in convenient and accessible form, dt 4
moderate price, has been urgently demand
ed, and will be sought for with avidily, and
must command large sale.
In the present work, the origin, develop
ment, doctrinal belief, ChIrch government
and pecularities of over eighty different re-
ligious sects, are treated in style clear,
compendlous and accurate, and will ailord
all the information which might be procured
with great difficulty and expense, and much
labor and research, from the larger polemi.
cal works and encyclopedias.
DR.. Smucker has evidently prepared this
work with much care, and it exhibits great
ability and learning. The articles on the diff
ierent religions are very impartially written,
and show the careful study OF an unpreiudi.
ced and sound mind; and the importance
and value cannot be too highly estimated
oil such superior and unbiased effort in a
work of this kind, as too often, those pre-
tending TO give correct information upon
such subjects are prejudiced in favor OF some
particular sects or denominations. Mr.
Rulson has brought out the work in very
handsome form, and the public is indebted
to him for a very valuable, instructive and
useful book. The price, Sl.0O, is remark.
ably low for such work, and in order thai
il may have a rapid and extensive circula.
tlon, he will send it TO any address, accom-
panied with a valuable Gift, on the receipt
OF the price and twenty cents TO pre-. pay

on Long Island, near the village of Newton.
The father and mother became the followers
Of John Wesley, ,anG we believe that major
ity if not all the present members of that
firm belong to the Methodist Church, and
have pews in the ST. Paul's new marble
Methodist edifice in Fourth avenue. So
cially they are all excellent men. The SEM.
or, James Harper, ex-Know-N Nothing May
or of New York, is fond of good joke, and
enlivens the company he may associate
with by relating many laugh-provoking
anecdote. John, the next oldest, is an ex-
cellent man with clear head, active habits
and great business tact. Fletcher, the third
brother, is kind-hearled, pleasant and
agreeable man also laughs heartily at a
good Joke, and is, when not absent in Eu.
rope on business, the taking man of the
concern, with authors, idlers and outsiders
in general. Wesley, the fourth, we believe
is the youngest of the brothers. He is The
local and active business man of the firm,
under whose supervision all the various
mechanical operations of the house are car
ried on. He is quick, industrious and OF
few words, but has mind that is as keen
as briar. The "quarto" of brothers de-
serve great credit for their success. They
commenced in humble but respectable
spheres-the eldest as printers and James,
the eldest, we are told, in his younger life
worked many day pulling at a hand.press
in job printing Office. From printers
they got 10 be publishers, and have arrived

HARD TIMES AMONG WESTERN Preachers
The Upper Iowa Conference, which clos
cd lis session last week in Iowa City, we
learn from the Northwestern Methodist aduo-
cIe, must be hard field. Many of the
former preachers have labored in the face
of absolute want, not merely of money, but
ofthe necessaries oflife The "daily bread"
has been wanting, and many families on
the frontier have lived on hominy instead
The editor remarks: awe have said that
there were hard times in the northwest
such as nowhere else, and so he says now.
What would some Of our eastern brethren
say 10 going 10 quarterly meeting, and after
coming in-GSs.xniles be compelled to
leave their horses and walk through the
slush? After preaching, the class leader
says, we have nothing 10 eat;' but fluids
in the meantime some meal has been pro.
cured, and the preachers shate it. Next
morning, love.feast is held without bread,
for there is none! The service is preached
and the audience dismissed without the ad-
ministra.ion of The Lords Supper, for the
people can provide no bread Yet the
Methodist preachers who endure these
things say not a word of dcsistng. Truly
the days OF heroes are not past. The men
the wilderness. In some instances, but for
the small missionary appropriations, our
brethren and their families would have been
utterly pennless. Yet there is no finch
ing. Men stand true 10 their post They
can afford to die, but not to desert. They
share with the people in their poverty, and
when days of abundance shall come the
people will share with them of their plenty
Some of the preachers were compelled to
work, "laboring with their own hands," TO
provide for their families. Yet the senti-
ment of the Conference against seculari-
zed clergy was clear and unmistakable.-
By the way, some time since, "frontier
layman" reported that an Iowa presiding
elder received from one circuit, as his claim,
for one quarter, two chickens and one pound
of butter. We have seen the preacher,i in
charge, who says there were fifteen chick
ems and six pounds OF butter sent in quar-.
terly conference. Of these the presiding
elder received six chickens and bought four
pounds of butter, and the pastor desired the
matter corrected, as his people believe in
paying up the presiding elder y
But Methodist pteachers are not alone in
their sufferings. A Presbyterian missiona
ry in one of the Western States writes to
the Central Herald: "I have not dollar in
cash, and not dollars worth OF provisions
in the house. OF those who subscribed
$500 10 my support last November, know
not man 10 whom can go Cor measure
of meal or pound OF meat. Times have
been awfully hard for six months past
Johnny cake has been the staff of life, and
almost life ITSELF"
