KpcwIedge OF the Futnrc-Tke Duty Of

The Rev. DIR. Potter, assisted by the Rev. J. W.
Howton, ofciated at the communion service In this
pleasant little church yesterday. The sparse con-
gregation assembled TO listen TO the eloquent Ter
mon preached by DR.. Potter shovel that every one
who could escape from business has ned to the cool

Dr. Potter took his text from 81. John, xxi.

forty days which followed the resurrection OF Christ

clothed In mystery. On His first appearance after
the death on the cross He indeed gave proof OF
bodily presence; but the very expression which lie

This charming village presents an unusually
lovely aspect just now, number OF families from
New York and Brooklyn having made 1t their sum,

was nllcd to-day By Rev. s. W. Strong, OF West
Troy. who preached With great acceptability from
the text, H. Timothy, l., 10-"JeSus Christ hath
brought life and immortality to light through the

the necessity and Importance OF natural light for

OF sermons which present this morning our
readers will perceive that those Of .our clergymen
who remain III town can impart as wholesome IN

not always in such popular form. The old prac-
tice OF shutting UP churches as We do
schools has been almost abandoned this year.
and several OF our country clergy are now ex-
changing pulpits with their city brethren. and BY
this means double purpose is served-the city
churches are kept open ana the city pastors enjoy
their vacation at tho same tine. This feature Is
worthy OF more extensive imitation. Save the

10 SNoKERs.-The great tobacco controver-
sy continues to agitate Great Britain. The
Dublin University Magazine for September
takes up the subject, saying, BY way of
apology, Sour desk Is Uttered with books
relating to tobacco" One thing seems to
be sufficiently evident Few habits are
moIe expensive than the habit of smoking.
Tobacco is shown by official figures to cost
more than bread in Germany, Holland, the
United States, and England. The total ex-
pendture in the last named country in 1868
for tobacco and snuff was Gll ,43S .299 These
figures are important, but two things should
be remembered. The first is, that all aggre-
