Bilious Us. Pious.--"They think they are pious
when they are only bilious, remarked the famous
Tom Hood on one occasion. In speaking of the
late Rev DR.. Moses Stuart, the venerable Rev. DR..
Todd of Pittsfeld, says: Professor Stuart was
a decided dyspeptic; and | now can see that he
was injudicous as to the amount and violence of his
exercise, and also in the time of day when he took
it | have no doubt that he and the good Dr.. Pay
son often mstook the miseries of a weak digestion
for the hiding Of Gods face; and that they uttered
many groans of agony over their sins, which groans
were really the results of morbid state of the
stomach"

REVISED BOOK OF DISCIPLINE.
Reso1ved, That this Presbytery, in response to
the call of the General Assembly to examine and
criticjse their New Book of Discipline, agree to
adopt the action of the Presbytery of Chickasaw

was to this effect: That, while we commend the
diligence of the Committee on Revision, and high
IL appreciate the result of their abors. we deem it
inexpedient to prosecute the subject of revision

FIELD DAY.

Our usually quiet street, wherein Is situated
the NEWS office, was made the scene of much
hustle and hilarity on Tuesday last. The cause
was the advent Of some White River farmers and
stock men, who, after disposing of their articles
Of produce, trotted out some Of their fast nags TO
compete with I" anything on legs" as they said.
Racing was In order during the whole afternoon,
and was only stopped when no more horses
could be found TO run. The prize was carried
of by the White Rivers, their stock being ahead
In every race run. Much coin changed hands
during the progress of the racing, and We wit
messed more people on the street than for many
months before in fact, everybody was there
except the ladies. many Of whom however could
not resist the temptation Of peeping out through
window curtains. half-open doors, etc. Unlike
many affairs of this nature, no trouble occurred
between the contestants, all joining in good
humor and the plessantest feeling prevailed.
After the " high toned races were over, our
enterprising livery men, Morris l. Ballenberg,
trotted ont their stock and kept the racing up
until nobody could be found to bet a cent. The
grand race of the day. however, was between
Morris Ballenberg and a running horse and.
although Morris showed considerable speed and
endurance, the horse won. We like to see the
people wake up once in a while and show there
is still much of the old life in Hamilton IL does
everybody good to be shaken up occasionally.

Mr.. Edward Hickey has got his
l50-horse-pOwer engine, 4 running
in his lumber mill, andis cutting out
lumber at rapid rate. We don't
know how much he expects To manu-
factuIe the present season, only that
It is reckoned by millions. Thiry-tive
men are constantly employed In the
mill.
Messrs. Pritcher & Brown, at Stark
Water Station, are manufacturing
lumber much faster than they can get
cars to transport it to market. 1t is
very annoying to them, when custom
ers are waiting, and the lumber is
ready to ship, to be obliged to wait
for cars.
Pike Brothers & Horn have
cut and hauled to the steam mill
at this place nine hundred thousand
feet OF spruce logs, and ten thousand
feet of pine; have cut and hauled
nine or ten hundred cor,ls of wool to
the Grand Trunk Railroad, about
four hundred hard wood piles, which
are to be used in rebuilding Back
Cove Bridge, near Portland, Me. and
some sixty thousand spruce spars,
during the past winter.
