The ChignOn Fungus.

DEAR Journal: Having noticed IN your
columns recently certain paragraphs alluding
TO the existence OF creature commonly
known as the jute insect, and believing the
whole affair to be one of the popular fallacies
of the day, think it may not be amiss to call
the attention of your readers to kindred
subject, from which it seems natural to sup
pose our own recent ''jute panic" to have
arisen. Perhaps some of your lady readers,
who, terrified by the representation OF inter-
ested parties, concerning the jute insect, have
consigned their vegetable tresses," to the
flames and resorted to the use of human hair
coming from 'heads unknown" may not be
aware that the war of the Chignon Fungus
began in Europe, while as yet, the poor per-
secuted jute was waving in its native fields
all unconscious of the eventfnl future that
awaited it in lands beyond the sea.
On the 9TH of February, 1867, there APP

chutz" an article in which the pubic was

After prayer by Rev. N. j. Kelley, the doc
trinal sermon was preached by Rev. Mr.. Bry-
ant of East Winthrop, from the text in Exc
dus, 90 Is. Theme-'Law of the Christian
Sabbath" The sermon was an able effort
and showed that considerable thought had
been bestowed in it's production. In the af-
ternoon there was a general discussion of the
main features of the resolutions, but before
acting on them, the Association listened to a
sermon from Rev. DR.. Wilson of Watervillc,
after which the convention adjourned to even
ing.
In the venng, after Introductory devotion
al exercises, deeply interesting and impress
i've sermon was preached by Rev. II. V. Dex-
