Vital Magnetism, or Healing Power Of the
Mind-Dr. 9. NJ. Mood.

A late writer says, '.the exact
line between the results of science
and the works performed by means
of faith is certainly unknown"
Another says 'faith ana ,ciU may

propositions IN science, it is said,
there are no late curious events
showing miraculous power; but, on
the contrary, these remarkable works
reported are all consistent with law
and science, some of them according

century ago; others according to
late. discovery. But, by far the

The faculty have made the science of

our Sabbath School friends from Mil.

had done so much to impart intetest
and profit to the meetings OF tie con-
yention, urging upon us the truth
that We could bring our Sabbath
School scholars and our children no

vention then closed its meetings with
the singing of the doxology, and the
pronouncing of the benedicton.
Such is an imperfect record of IA
meeting to which no mere record can
do justice, but which was such in its
manifestation of love to the Saviour,
and attachment to the Sabbath School
work, as a part Of the work that de-
wolves upon us, that it made the

ISOLATION may have prevented some
Sabbath Schools from sending in u

County Superintendent Hubbard Elected
The Canvass The Rising Man.

BY tacit agreement, the Republi-
cans Of Grant County divided on
Brooks and Purman, the Regular
-d0n't-cdre-a-d-a~ for qualifications
but>eUery- thing Nor,party men going
for Mr.. Brooks, and all others going
for Mr. Purman and the democrats
supporting Mr. Hubbard and elect
ing him.
Mr.. Purman received respect
able majority of the Republican vote;
and, had it not been for the unyield>
ing minority being in the way with
their man Brooks, we should have
elected a good Republican for Coun-
ty Superintendent. A week before
the election, seeing what the result
must be, we honestly told the people
in the Herald that the election must
lie between Purman and Hubbard,
and that if the Brooks men wanted
to elect Republican they must take
their man Brooks out of the way. We
thought they would do SO, but they
preferred a democrat to a republican,
so went it blind for Brooks.
Single and alone we worked for
Purman-nobody helping except that
Brooks played into our hands toler-
ably we'll The " Young Mems christ
ian association, their head quarters
at .sBarterS' Saints Rest" formed in
line thence to the polls, but they fell
sixty votes behind in Lancaster-in
the county may be two hundred.
The CassviIle democratic relationship
deserted the party and went for
Brooks III view of saving tho Rernb>
lican head from the impending crisis.
This event came near npsctting Hub
bard and spelling a democratic victo-
ry. O. B. Phelps engineered the
democracy with entire success and
deserves the thanks of the divided
democracy, leaving out Cassville.
Mr. Brooks flung away certain
victory by acting the knave from first
to last-beginning with his maiden
speech of acceptance made before the
county convention, in which he said,
'Gentlemea, thiS is the hdppieSt day l
erer hare Sdar shall endeaver to
undertake to-uy to do my duty
when elected" &c, and ending With
his unscholarly manuscripts which he
persisted in printing-thereby ADJ,
vortising himself an ass. His friends
who manifested their devotion to him
at the expense of the public derision
showered upon their heads, have our
sympathies.
Mr.. ]. p. Hubbard, P. O. at Brit
ish Hollow, is q gentleman OF exper>
fence as teacher, is not a classical
but good English scholar, possesses
q first rate mathematical head, has
plenty Of good, sound sense, but is
quite deficient in egotistics and vain
presumngs, on which account he ap>
pears with third grade certificate
in,his face when he might hold mum.
Der one. 1t will be the duty of all,
irrespective of party, to support Mr.
Hubbard during his term OF office and
thereby make him useful to the
schools. In morals, integrity and even
politics Mr. Hubbard is about the
best man in his party, and the won>
der is he stays there or is allowed to
stay, for such democrats generally
emigrate.

he turns with changed voice and
fierce gesture on the boy (: "You
