Hon. HENRY A. CAsTtE, orSt. Paul
will deliver n lecture in this village, on
Tuesday evening, Dec. 18th. Particu.
lars next week.
THANKSGIVING was technically Oh.
served here by "union services" in the
Congregational Church, aud tho usual
service in the Episcopal Church. -
Rev. A. B. Bishop preached the sermon
in the former, and Rev. j. j. Town.
send in the latter. Both discourse,
we're able and highly intcresting.-
They were heard by audiences about
half as large as can DO comfortabl,
seated in the Houses.
Tho TRANSCRIPT Office and the
First National Bank, so far as We car
learn, we're the only business houses
which were closed during the day. Il
occurs to US that occasions like that oil
Thursday last have claim upon the
public which cannot be ignored safely
If protesting Christians do not more
generally observe the religious rites en-.
joined by Thanksgiving. but little good
can be expected to result from perpe-
tuity Of the custom.

DIR. sPINNEY,
PROPRIETOR,
DISEASES
TREATED WITH ENTIRE SUCCESS.

An experience Of twenty years, in Special
practice, devoting his whole time to tho treat
mert Of old and complicated diseases, gives
him advantages that but few physicians in
this country possess. The Doctor was we'll
known for many as founder and proprietor Of
tho Montreal Medical Insfi,"te, lin C. f. where
his wonderful cures gave him q widespread
reputation in the British provinces. DR.. Spin
ney will continue to consult with patients at bis
city office, 81 Perry Street, Davenport. Iowa,
(where he can be found each day, from 10 =.
IN. to 4 p. n.y. or at his 1nfirmary at SPinney-
vile, during the balance Of bis time.
Parties suffering with old lingering diseases
that have bafiied the skill Of eminent physi-
clans, and arc tired of dosing with mineral
drugs, arc cordially invited to try few weeks
treatment at the Spinneyville Infrmary, where
the magnetic waters alone will restore to per-
feet health the majority of all suffering from
impurities If tho blood, or chronic disease OF
any kind. The 1niirmary buildings are new
and elegant, built last year under tho Doctors
individual supervision, and is furnished
throughout in the best possible manner, and
being located on the bank, or near the Missis-
sipp: river, every thing combines to mako it q
lovely resort for both invalids and pleasure
seekers. All are invited to come, as it is .
summer resort for the healthy who need rest
from business cares, Is well ~ . home for the
invalids.
To the Ladies who have ruined their health
by whatever cause, come and try tho recupers-
tive powers Of the magnetic waters.
DR.. Spinney having spent many years in
the strdy Of treatment Of female complaints,
feels competent to troat them in their most
complicated forms, either medically, or by the
aid Of the magnetic waters Of the Spinneyville
Springs.

A NARROW EsCApE.-Little Theo-
dore Mollison, son Of the Sheriff, on
Tuesday, while standing beside the long
augcr with which Messrs. Westover l.
Weaverbore pumps, stopped down to look
at something, and the end Of his comfor-
ter caught upon the revolving shaft.
His face was drawn down to the iron,
and he'd there only a moment before
the machinery was stopped. When re.
leased, he was apparently dead, having
been stranglcd by the tightly drawn
comforter. As soon IS the compress was
removed, he began to struggle violent
", and in a short time was fully re-
stored. His neck is very lame and one
cheek is badly burned BY contact with
the rolling iron. It is thought that he
will soon recover.
Much credit is due to Messrs. W. l.
W., for the prompt and successful re-
lief which they brought to the suffer-
ing boy.

Rev. j. +. Graves.

The connection of this gentleman
with the Congregational Church Of
Austin terminated with the services of
last Sabbath. He was here two years.
Austin was his first pastoral field
Here the responsibilities, the perplexi-
ties and the joy of minister's profess
sion we're, by him realized for the first
tune. Here he brought his young wife,
and made for himself a home, and here
was his only chill born to him, and
here, too, be has reaped his first ripe
experience. He has gone. Other fields
await him; h. will enter them fear
lessly, yet humbly. Other duties press
upon him He will shrink from the per-
formance Of none Of them, although his
proves is net Of that kind which rele-
gates all fear. In his youth, aud with
his modicum Of experience, he may not
meet, to the fullest extent, all the re-
QUESTIONS of thiscxacting age,but he can
never ~holy fail. He possesses all Of
the Christian quality and the mental
power, which are required in the sue
cessfui minister.
If he is apparently deficient in
any particular, it seems t. be
found in his sublime disregard Of
the value Of mere appear
onces. A matter-of-fact man himself,
he is not likely to discover that many
persons require an ornamental prelude
to al Christian Notwithstanding
in the way Of caskct in which
to display the jewel of Christian faith.
Although sincere, such people
cannot worship as heartily in Il
shed ,as in a cathedral. The fault is not
wholly theirs. 1t lies at the door Of
those who had charge of them in their
youth. These are likely to initiate ap-
pearanccs, and afix. to them fictitious
value. With such, MIR. Graves can
never be in full sympathy. He has but
little Of what is termed "rride Of ap-
pearancc," and cannot therefore realize
the Importance which =omc attribute to
that which, to him, is at most, a non-es-
sential. While his estimate of the
value of these things may never change,
we have no doubt that he will hereafter
more folly recognize their existence,
and their influence, and thereby avoid
some Of the unpleasant experiences
which will, otherwise, be Inevitable.
His ministry has been successful, so
far as VIC can judge, and he went from
here accompanied with tho very best
wishes Of his church and congregation
The causes which led to his departure
were, happily, OF such character as to
excite no ill-fecling between pastor and
people, or Among the members, nor in
sny way to impair the harmony or use
fulness Of the church; circumstance
which furnishes occasion for devout
thankfulness.
