thing, such good order during n pro
tracted meeting and hope that some Of
our Young men Of the Loop will follow
their example and not deport them>
selves so ungentlemanly and ineonsist
emily as they did during the meeting
at Zion.
The members Of the church nj Egg
Hill aud the spectators are on good
terms with each other, and this IS the
prime cause Of their orderly conduct in
the church, and there is no reason why
it SHOULD not be thus. AT Zion. one
or two who desire prominence. are al
most incessantly parleying with the
boys, reproving them when it is
unnecessary and fond Of making
display of their authority, and the boys
in turn. swear vengeance on them for
interfering in what they deem legally
and morally right. the result is that
the boys have no love for the church
aud the church no particular regard
for them.
One great source of annoyance Is
Il at the boys gather around the door,
form a line on each side Of the path to
the gate and the women are obliged TO
run gauntlet, single file. all ina row, like
Browns cow. But wethink the ladies
have found a remedy. Some talk Of
arming themselves with n goOdly por

there will be employ ment for some
eminent oculist. Won't there be some
sneesing and swearing done! The
report came to day that the engineers
have run against tree in the vicinity
of Soyer's dis;illery. Some one sug-
gests that the road be well located

and therefore will give it no futher
notice.
