1t is reported that the old church,
Cor more properly the meeting house,
was used by the soldiers for barracks
during the period aforesaid.
The church has had, since its organ
ization, seven stated pastors, embra-
cling period of over one hundred
and fifty years. The present pastor,
r. K. Rogers, D. D., was installed in
May, 1880. During his long, and +
may add, successful pastorate, the
Doctor has, of course, become deyo-
teddy attached to his charge, who, in
return, regard their pastor with sort
of reverential affection. Never, in
deed, have ] seen people more unan-
imous in their expressions of attach
ment toward their minister.
The DR.. is, / believe, the oldest set
tied minister connected with the Pres
bytery of New Brunswick, and yet
age does not in the least interfere with
his usefulness. He is, apparently, as
energetic, buoyant and yiYatious as
ever. During a brief call, this morn
ing, he exhibited to me a list of depar-
ted members of his church and congre-
cation during his ministry among them,
and / must confess the sight startled
me. The record measured nedrIy

he displays the roll occasionally, be-
fore his people to impress them more
deeply with sense of their mortality.
And verify it is most unansWerable
argument--a most heart awakening
sermon. But / must proceed to speak
of other matters, more directly, per-
haps, of general interest.
Harvesting season closed about a
week since, and a most abundant one
it has proved to be. The crops of
wheat, rye, oats and hay have been
abnndantly heavy, and owing to the
uniformly favorable weather, have
been gathered in good condition.
But as respects the corn--the chief
crop of the farmers-the case is wide
" different. 1t is the unqualified
opinion Of all concerned that so far as
appearances indicate, the corn crop is
most decided failure.
Said a farmer to me yesterday !:
Last year / had eight hundred bush
els Of corn (shelled,) and this year,

LINCOLN AND HIS RECoRD.--The Repub-

little in public life. and consequently but
little is known of bis principles. He was
a member of Congress one term, and du-
ring that time his record is certainly not
very favorable. He opposed the Mexican
war, and by his vote declared it " uncom-
stitationat and wrong," thus giving aid and
comfort to the enemies of our country. lie
also voted against giving l60 acres of land
to our brave and gallant volunteers, who
were engaged in that war. Let the thou

~ Tie americans held meeting at

erarion the question of supporting the
ticket put in nomination at Chicago, and
endorsed By the Commercial Advertiser Of
this city. The meeting was large one
and very enthusiastic, as we learn by a
member, none but members being admit

nous decision of the purity in this city not
to follow 10 the lead of the Commercial,
which pap r was denounced as having
deserted the party and its principles. Some
of the most influential members are highly
exasperated at the course of that journal
