The annual meeting of the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, was
held in Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 3d. ct sea. The
attendance from abroad on the first day was
thin, the freshet of last week having destroyed
bridges and washed away the track of the rail-
roads east so as to delay persons on their way
at Buffalo.
In the absence of both President and Vice
President at the opening session, Judge Strong
of Pennsylvania presided. The afternoon was
devoted to the reading of the report of the
Treasurer, James NJ. Gordon, Esq, of Boston,
and the presentation of the abstract of the re-
port of the Prudential Committee. The receipts
for the year, or rather for thirteen months end
ing Aug. 81, 1861, have been $34l 1888, and the
expenditures S369,S74, leaving debt of S27,-
1876, which is far less than was anticipated two
months ago.
The Prudential Committees Report among
other matters, advised the suspension of the
Missionary Herald after the December number.
and the use of the religious and secular press
instead to disseminate missionary intelligence.
The Annual Sermon was preached by Rev.
r. S. Storrs, of Brooklyn N. Y.
Rev. DR.. Asa ID. Smith of New York, in be-
half of the Prudential Committee, offered re-
solution specially recognizing the good provid-
ence of God in permitting the financial year of
the Board to close with debt of less than twen-
ty-eight thousand dollars, when few months
ago it was feared that it might reach hundred
thousand. He made most eloquent address,
referring to the anxiety of the Committee, to
the war, and to various other matters, at times
almost electrifying the audience Among other
facts, he stated that notwithstanding the war,
the receipts of the Board the last thirteen
months had been greater than for any CORE.
spending thirteen months for eighteen years,
with the single exception of last year, when
special effort was MAIDS to close the half centu-
ry without debt.

The Bennington Banner states that in the
Bennington County Probate Court last Monday,
Judge White decided that the viii of Julia A..
Peck, deceased, could not be admitted TO Pro-
bate. Mrs. Peck was a widow lady, whose will,
on her decease few months ago, excited speci-
al attention in that vicinity, because of its strange
provisions. A little girl, daughter of deceas-
ed husband of the testatrix, was to have the use
of the property under strange condition, not
likely to be complied with; but in case of non
compliance, or on the child's decease, the prop
erty was to go to the City of Troy. The eyl-
dence before the Court was decided amply sutii-
eent to show that the deceased had been sub
ject to insane decisions for several years about
her property and what she imagined to be tne
plots of her relatives to get it, and that the VIII
could not be a valid instrument. Her brother

brother.

TRoUTING.-In the absence of exciting war
news some of of our exchanges are treating
their readers to monstrous trout stories. The
Claremont Eagle tells of one man in that town
who took, one afternoon last week, forty-one
brook trout that weighed fifteen pounds, and of
another who, stimulated by the above example,
went out the next morning and in few hours
took sixteen and a quarter pounds. In both
cases the editor owns up to being seduccd into
telling these stories by two trout breakfasts.
But the Ftchburg Reveile is ahead in re-
lating the return of gentleman of that town,
who by the way we have strong suspicious was
our friend Piper himself, from his annual two
weeks trouting, says she brought with him
twen,y-four trout that weighed 1lS pounds.
The weight of the largest was seven and quar-
ter pounds. They we're all taken with the fly,
and were the genuine red spotted trout, the
same variety as that common in our brooks.

From Western Virginia.

The fight in Western Virginia, between five
thousand of Gen. Reynolds command and
large body of intrenched rebels, at Greenbriar
River, twelve miles from Cheat Mountain, was
a very brilliant affair Although intended sim
ply as reconnaissance in force of the epemy's

eral hours though with loss of only ten kill
ca ana eleven wounded on the part Of the Ma
tional troops. Owing to the position Of ,So
enemy, it was impossible to ascertain the
amount of damage inflicted upon them, but il is
believed that their loss will not fall far short Of
five hundred killed and wounded as our ar,il

also lost thirteen prisoners, and a lot of cattle
and horses. 1t is matter of congratulation

! for the whole class Of diseases orisi.
1 mating in hillary dcransemcnt, caused

No one remedy is louder called for BY the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Aguc. Such
we are now enabled to offer. with q perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
nc harm can arise fom it: use in any guam

Tha. which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in tho

the miasnatic poison of FEVER AND Aous
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach Of its premoni;ory symptoms. 1t il
not only the best remedy ever vet discovered

cheapest. The large quantity we supply fer

and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within tn,
reach Of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any

no Qun,inc or mineral, consequently it pro-
1uces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
BY it arc left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the mia.matic poison. A great variety Of

are Neuralgia, Rheumatism. Gout. Headache,
