At five O'Clock this morning the exercises
OF the day commenced by family worship
in every tent. The prayers offered to the

tones more or less loud the chorus OF 30 Lords'
that went up were very Affecting AT eight O'Clock
there was prayer meeting at the grand stand. At
half-past ten O'Clock the regular Sunday service
commenced. The seats around the grand stand
all occupied, and people stood packed together
as far back as 1t was possible to hear anything
There must have been
present. The prayers were very deyout. The Pre-.
siding Elders and many ministers Occupied seats in
the pulpit. From the number OF ministers present
1t is possible that those who remained at home had
to content themselves with prayer meetings Revs
HadIey and Dr. Mitchell participated in the exer.

GREENFIELD,S FERRY.
Liss % CHsrlesisn, Mo.

Greenneld's ferry is sealed mystery to
many Of our citizens who have yet to
learn that Cairo has more than one ferry
more than one steam ferry. Many times
each day Mr.. Greenneld's trim little boat,
propelled BY steam, leaves her landing on
the west side Of the city, and carries pas
sengers and horses and teams and wagons
70 Missouri, from which State il brings
many people, many teams, many wagons,
many cattle, many eggs, much butter, lots
Of corn, and huge quantities Of all kinds
Of country produce.
Lately Mr.. Greenfield has made many
improvements in bis boat, and among 9TH
srs has added an engine built by Mr.. John
T. Rennie, of this place. As specimen
Of substantial and neat workmanship the
machinery is hard to beat. The cylinder
is OF inches in diameter, with 16 inch stroke.
The vater-wheel shaft running across the
boat is geared to the main shaft Of the en-
CINE with spur mortice wheel in which
maple cogs are inserted which make the
running Of the machinery noiseless and
perfectly smooth. The water wheels are
IL feet diameter with 4 feet buckets. By
the use of clutch couplings the engine
can be run independently of the water
wheels, as the force pump is attached TO
the engine. The arrangement allows the
boiler to be fed without run
ming the water wheels. The boiler
ian upright) Is 52s inches In diameter, 0
feet high, with 46 3.inch Aues, built for
Mr.. Rennie by Mr.. d. A. Rheutan of this
city. Tho hull is GO feet long, Is feet
beam; width over guards, 81 feet; hold, 8
feet. The machinery is placed we'll back,
so as 10 allow ample space forward for
seven wagons. With thirty pounds Of
steam she makes good time, making ten
trips daily, burning only half . cord
Of wood in ten hours. She
can make four trips An hour with ease,
including time Of loading and unloading.
On the trial trip the time Of running from

Y. NJ. c. A.-The meeting of this asso-
citation held on Monday night last was
tout of the ordinary" and deserves more
than passing notice. A large number OF
citizens were in attendance, and great In
forest was taken in the ceremonies and ex-
ercises Of the evening. At the stated hour
the association was called to order by the
President, Mr.. q. p. Parton; and Rev G
II. Foote, in an earnest prayer, addressed
the throne Of grace. After prayer, the
business of the evening was entered upon
and finally the discussion was announced
in order. The question was HAS in.
creased wealth beneficial effect upon the
morals Of the community ~ In the afiir-
NATIVE were Hon. d. w. Mum and Rev.
q. n. Foote; and in the
negative, Mr.. s. r. Hay and
Prof H. 8. English, principal Of the pub
lie schools. The debate was animated
and able, the Affirmative carrying every
thing Except the verdict) before them;
but tho negative, although lacking some
Of the "divinc affiatus," and eschewing
the too elaborate graces of oratory, dealt
in very sturdy arguments, If the express
sion is permissible, and-won the question,
Mr.. Mum himself gracefully acknowled-
ing the corn by voting that the negative
had the best Of the argument. We do not
anticipate crusade against wealth as a
result of this debate--that any person
wrought up to enthusiasm by the logic of
the negative will seek to impoverish Cairo
to make it more moral, and we
don't believe the verdict of the
audience was in accordance with common
sense, although II may have been justified
by the superior arguments Of the gentle
men Of the negative; but we do hope the
debates of which this one was the begin
ming may be continued for the entertain
ment and instruction Of the public.

A"HARp 'UN" ARREsTEp.-A fellow
by the name Of Duling-s decidedly
"hard case"-has been in the city for some
time, on the sly. His place Of conceal-
ment was q house Of ill-fame, on Thir-
teenth street. between Poplar street and
Washington avenue. Day before ysster-
day he sent small boy to Mr.. Hanny's
dry goods store to buy ten yards of calico
for his bawd, giving him $40 bill Of
"the queer" with which to pay for the
goods. Mr.. Hanny detected the coun.
terfeit, and sent the boy back for another
bill. The boy returned with a IS note,
also of the ''queer." Chief Of Police
Myers, who had been on the lookout for
Duling, and had spotted his messenger,
followed the boy and arrested Duling on
Monday night. On the person Of the pris-
oner was found
One huge navy revolver;
One Smith and Wesson revolver;
One Derringer;
Ola PoSAcb oooh5
Ono nickle butter knife;
A lot Of silver spoons;
One razor;
An assortment Of jewelry;
One file, etc.;
A little money-all good;
and other articles too numerous to men,
ton. Myers gave Mr.. Dulipg into tho
keeping Of Mr.. McHale, and yesterday
morning took him before United States
Commissioner Candee, on the charge Of
trying to pass counterfeit money. Tho
evidence, however, was not sufficient and
the gay boy was discharged. How long Dir.
Duling proposes to honor Cairo with his
presence We do not know, but would sug-
gest that he might find IL to his interest II
hc would return without any unnecessary
delay to his home at Paducah.
