CnURcH.--On Sunday evening Rev. Mr..
JORDAN, late Of Foxcroft, Maine, preached
in the Baptist'Shnrch, taking the place Of
his brother-in-law, Rev. Mr.. palmer, who
lately returned from the burial of his be-
loved partner, ut that place.
Mr.. JORDAN is a young man-only one
year in the ministry-but he is most in
teresting speaker. If it would not seem
like aattery we would call his sermon on
that occasion one Of the most eloquent we
ever listened to. 1t is said he will remain
here some weeks and conduct the services
in the First Baptist Church while Mr..
Palmer takes ramble about the country
to obtain rest from labor and to divert his
thoughts from the most heart-rending af.

sepulchral in business way. Wheat in

We beg leave to state that in justice to
ourselves and the public, in the present
condition of the roads, and there being a
good many of our Agents who have not
yet reported, We find it Necessary to post
pone our Concert for very short time.
In doing 80 we beg leave to say that
amidst SO many disadvantages of season
and dull times, together with the suspicion
that has of late, very justly, been aroused
against every enterprise Of this kind the
success of our enterprise is truly wonder
full. We have probably sold three fourths
Of our tftkets,-or nearly that number
enough to insure its certain success, at no
distant day. -- s...-.

of late--some of them of great magnitude

to admit Of only one prize, among humid
reds Of thousands, besides many schemes
Of irresponsible and dishonest persons,
whose only object was to swindle the pub
lie, no wonder that many people doubt
and distrust any enterprise of the kind
however fair and honorable it may be con-
Quoted. But instead Of debating upon
our own honesty and responsibility we pre-
pose to place the matter on such founda-
ton that every one at distance, as well as
our friends at home, may know that their
Investments, whether little or much, are
safe and secure. We propose to organize
committe imposed Of some of the we'll
known men from each of the principal
towns in this vicinity into whose hands we
psoposc to put the property in trust for the
ticket-holders until the weather is little
more favorable and we can sell the balance
of the tickets or the most Of them.
We shall, by letter or circular, request
this committe to be here on the 10th inst,
and receive charge of the property, and
their certificates will be published. They
will also determine what day we shall post
pone to, when we hope all will have a
chance to come, and our concert and draw
ing come off to the satisfaction of all par
ties. The delay will be very short.

TnE McDoNALDs.-We are in receipt
from the Office of the Metropolitan Record
Of Prospectus Of work with the above,
title, to be published April Goth. 1t is
also called The Ashes Of Southern
IIomes," written by VIM. Henry Peck, Of
Georgia, distinguished southern author.
1t will be full of most stirring scenes and
incidents connected with the late rebellion
aud particularly relating to Sherman's
march. From the prospectus we judge
that all phases of southern society win be
exhibited, from the hero and heroine of
affection down to the heartless SPECTATOR
in human flesh, ind the simplicity and cum
ming Of " Myra," the negress. The work
IS doubtless one of absorbing interest to
all who care about reading the inside his
tory of the south during period Of the
last few years.

Elections.
The late election. are not favorable to q
continuance Of radical rule. Last week
we stated that dissensions were becoming
TOO rife in the dominant party to prolong
its life. II is composed Of too many ele.
'aents Of discord, and its weight in num-
,,ers will break it down. Connecticut
elects democratic Governor and three out
"f four Congressman. The Governor has
!'79 majority, not large we admit, but
enough TO teach our folks that union is
>trength. This election gives hope to all
that fanaticism has at last found check,
md who but fanatic is not glad Of it,
We arc beginning to hope considerably on
Iowa. Once let the charm with which po-
-itical thugs have conquered the people be
broken, and away goes all that discipline
which is SO mighty to conquer. Itmay be
held together awhile longer by the "Grand
army Of the Republic" or some other af.
fair purporting to look after the soldiers
interests, but such transparent selfshness
an the part of the leaders cannot long pre-
vail. It is only y question Of time and the
losses of that party we'll know it. Let
them whistle-they are approaching po-
iitical graveyard, and we would not de-
prive them Of sti,nulant in their hour Of
isar.
Rhode Island reelected Gen. Burnside

stitntion Of our country cannot long afili-

lave devoted their lives to its destruction
and now actually boast Of their partial sue

If Wisconsin, including many towns once

ticket easy, and old Crawford County is

But the most gratifying of all in the
.c.ty elections returns are those Of Daven-
nort. This is the centre of Iowa radical
IN, the home Of Hiram Price and the
~nndezvous or convention ground of the

opponents have put entirely too much ,coel

ut however that, We have much regard

Tins much for preface. A theatrical rep
rascntation called "The Apocalypse " or
:. Johns visions as recorded in Revela-
son is now the sensation in Chicago.
Il has been extensively played on eastern
boards and it is now recommended to the
hicago people as calculated to promote
profound regard for the doctrines of the
sew Testament. The argument may be
s,und but our moral eyesight is growing
worry dull if this beautiful scenic ridicule of
the language Of the Revelator is not about
KS potent wedge as can be driven into the
system. Can persons scitness, before death,
tho glories promised to the saints? Is it
proper to dress up angels in imaginary
celestial stage-costume and bring them out
to the sensuous gaze Of fashionable audi
cnce at dollar sight? The beasts and
the birds, and the walls " and the thou
sand other things mentioned in that most
curious Book will attract crowd but We
doubt its subscribing any good to religion.
