Another Speech from Honest Horace.


BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,. Aug. 29.-Hon. Hor-
ace Greeley addressed vast impromptu crowd
to-day. He said: This great gathering I re-
ceive as something which forty years of active
and earnest life may possibly have in some
measure invited, but which did not anticipate
Allow me, then, when receive it as evidence
of personal goodwill, and in some measure Of
confidence, to make single remark With refer
ence to the aspect of the great struggle now going
on. Strategy in politics is the tribute which
craft pays to strength. The wolf S skin grow
ing too short, the fox's tail is pressed into SER
vice to piece it out Laughter and cheers
You see at this day great party struggling to
avert defeat by distracting and breaking up the
host which is opposed to it. You would not
have Federal Office holders working SO hard to
get up a third ticket if they were sure that be-
tween the two tickets already in the field the
verdict was not against them. [Cheers, and
cries of right, old boss. The efforts, then, to
distract the host on our side is a confession of
despair, aud as such we receive it. The con-
fession remains. The despair is not likely to
pass away" Applause.

Rev. DRs. READ AND HoGE.-The congrega-
ton of the Presbyterian church of this place
were delighted with two able and eloquent SER
mons on Sunday last.
In the morning Rev. G. II. Read, D. D., of
Richmond, preached forcible and graphic SER
mon from the text: St. Matthew, xviii chap,
18th, 10Th and 10Th verses:
'And Jesus came and spake unto them saying,
All power is given unto me in Heaven and in
earth
Cove therefore and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoev-
er I have commanded you and, 10, am with
you Away, even unto the end of the world
Amen"
In the evening, Rev. Moses D. Hoge, d. D.,
of Richmond, preached an able, beautiful and
impressive sermon from the text st. Luke, Oh
XIV, verse 10:
Likewise, L say unto you, there is joy in the
presence of the angels of God over one sinner
that repenteth"
The'subject of this able discourse was the no.
bleness of the grace of penitence.

the old Staunton Wooden Factory, at the en-
