horses.
ADvRNTIsTs.
The adventists of this place are quite MINER.
gus, and include many of our most intelligent
and respectable citizens. Mrs. Jones preached
sermon embodying their peculiar views, at Rob.
inson's Hail. on the evening of Sept. 1lth Twas
unable to remain in the hall until Mrs Jones
closed, but from what 1 did hear, Judge her a
woman Of more than ordinary ability, and am
very certain she is a lady OF genuine piety.
Her sermon is we'll spoken of by all who heard
it. 1t is really refreshing to attend an advent
ists meeting, where you can hear preached
:" Christ and him crucifed," the Niger left out.

day 1t was announced that no would address the
people in the evening on tho political issues of
the day, and the news few through the town,
and in the evening Robinson's Hall was crowded
with anxious hearers from all parties. Mr.. Gray
was in his happest mood and certainly gave us
ono of tho best speeches delivered in Earlville.-
He spoke two hours, and the people around here
would gladly have listened two hourslonger Gray
commences where he should not, Mt theh Of the
eel to skin, and the further he skins, the eaiser
the skin strips off, If Mr.. Gray can't take
the hide off the Radical party and hang it on the
"collar beam" to dry then nobody but Billy
