and Clinton Avenue Church in reference
to the recent action of Plymouth Church
in the Tilton- Beecher matter. At the re.
quest of MIR. Beecher, the reply which he
had written to the communication was
read. 1t admits the difference between
the Congregationalism of Plymouth Church
and other Congregational Churches and
claims that the foundation of plymouth
Church was affected to protest against the
denomination Of Congregational ministers
which had excited profound Indignation
among the members of the Conversational
Churches in the city of New York at the
time. Plymouth Church has been gov
erned by the majority Of its members.
while in neither of the other two churches
has ever been heard u voice of the broth
erhood in open or called assembly. The
attitude of the Clinton Avenue Church and
the Church OF Pilgrims in this controversy
is characterized as unwarrantable, and Ply
mouth Church refuses to receive any fur
ther documents, which are not accompa-
MED by proof Of the authority of the
whole brotherhood of Congregational
Churches regularly and deliberately CON
terred and they decline in any case to re-
ceive from any church letters containing
covert insinuations against the character Of
any of the members of Plymouth Church
Plymouth Church does not decline to join
| in calling a ministerial council, but will
await less dubious invitation. 1t claims
| that Plymouth Church can make rules for
its own government and still remain Con
gregational, and declines to withdraw from
the Congregational fellowship. The reply
was adopted and ordered to be signed by
the chairman and members of the commit,
tee, and forwarded to the joint committees
of both churches. The committee tc
whom was referred Mr. Bowen's protest
reported adversely. The report was or
dered placed on file The meeting ther
adjourned.
The following is resolution adopted by
Plymouth Church, tonight, in reference tt
Bowen's case.
Resolved, That the report of the exam
lining committee and the statement of tht
:, clerk of the Church concerning the case o
Brother Henry G. Bowen, be entered upol
the minutes, and, in view of the facts there
in set forth, the charges be dismissed anC
the examining committee be discharged
from further consideration Of the case.

County Supplies.

The Court House and Blonde Little
Sheet rings in this county oppose the plan
inaugurated by our present Board of Su-
pervisors to procure county supplies by
contract, for the reason that it interferes
with their little political and commercial
games and leaves no chance for them
to make a per centage in the business
as now conducted-no chance to go around
to shops and stores and promise county
patronage in exchange for votes They
even try to make the Supervisors believe
that they have no right to take charge Of
all the purchases-especial those for the
county ofioers. and thus tho Board, o~ory
session, is wheeded into paying extrava-
CANT bills contracted by county officers.
The Supervisors should take the bull by
the horns and pay no bill they donot con-
tract for. This is done in other counties
all around u.s. Neither Mercer nor White
side Supervisors permit the purchase OF
anything not ordered by the Board or q
committee thereof-and this course should
be pursued here. ADd it would be if oul
county Supervisors could act Independent
ly of Court House dictation.

cago journal of yesterday, the proceed
ings of the County Commissioners in Cool

nal, the following:

CAN 1T BE TRUE ?-Within the last few
months a considerable number of persons
have called upon DR.. WALKER, the pro-
prietor of the popular medicine known as
VINEGAR BTTTERs, and assured him that,
in their belief, his preparations are an in
fallible antidote for rum and tobacco. The
minute details which have been furnished
him forbid him to doubt the accuracy of
the statements. This new claim ola great
remedy to the confidence Of the public will
give vast and well-deserved impulse to
its popularity. Heretofore the BTTERs
tonic and oorTeetive, devoid of alcohol, and
thoroughly adapted to the cure of the
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous
disorders, bilious affections, muscular dis
eases, and, indeed, majority of the all
ments within the reach of medicine but
if it will also cure the craving for liquor
and tobacco, philosophers, statesmen and
theologians ought TO unite their voices il
its praise, Can the good things be true
1t is easy to test the question.

A HELPING HAND.

OH if it be that sweet success has crowned
Thine efforts, and that fame
Has traced upon her consecrated ground
The record of thy name;
Be not unmindfth of the cherries fate
OF those who, toiling still,
Have missed the path or found it all too late
To hope they can fulfill
The promise of their golden days of youth,
When all seemed fair and bright,
And naught was wanting save the ray OF truth
To guide their footsteps right.
And when thou canst wandering brother guide
Or help him on his way,
Let nothing turn the noble act ASIDE,
Or cause thee TO delay.
For toll is hard, and perseverance rare,
And failure frequent, too;
And those who would succeed have much to dare
As well as much to do.
And help from those who stand aloft, secure.
Is ever dOubly blest,
Enabling those who win not, to endure,
And leave to God the rest.

are native California " bronchos," costing

His stations are from the east, weighing
1925 pounds each, and cost him on the
average s69l.60 each. He calls his
young stock American bronchos," small,
tough animals, but tho light for draught
purposes. He intends, by procuring heavy

method of breeding, only exercising
