/ introduced Mr.. Edmunds, who spoke for
nearly two hours, clearly and ably setting
forth the questions TO be settled in the COM
ing Presidential election, and holding the
undivided attention of the audience until
the close. AS we report elsewhere, from the
Free Press, Mr.. Edmunds' speech at Hyde
| park in which he pursued substantially the
same line of argument which he presented
here, we refer our readers to that report

TIE NEW BELL for Trinity NJ. E. Church
of this village, was raised to the belfry in

ship and to prayer. The bell is fue one,
from the foundry of Meneely and Kimberly,
Troy, n y, and weighs 2530 lbs. Must
clans term its tone or note E and although
it is unfortunate that it is not such as to
chime in accord with the other hollis of the
village this cert .inly gives forth sweet must
cal notes Of It's own. 1t was present to
the Church from II. c. Mutt, Esq, of Coun-
eli Bluffs, a son Of Henry Mutt ESD, of this
