The Methodist Festival. Our

The Methodist Festival. Our
Methodist friends enjoyed a good time
at Music Hall last Thursday and Fri
day evenings. The tables represented
the good taste of the ladies, and were
laden with good things toothsome.
We think the society would have done
better to have secured the large hall
instead Of the lower rooms, which are
altogether too small for the crowd
which usually attend festival. How
ever, all were satisfied. and we learn
that the society made a good thing out
of the two nights teasting. We can
speak Of the excellence of the Ice
cream, Lemonade, and Pastry which
just did cur editorial stomach good.
The Cornet Band enlivened the even
ing with choice selections rendered in
very good taste. The gross receipts
were some over $50.

The Crops.-A general feeling o

The CroDs.-A general feeling of
confidence is expressed by the agricul-
turists in the excellence of the crops
in Wood county, since the heavy rains.
Fields which promised scarcely nothing
in the way Of crops have put on a
different look and promise abundantIy.
Late potatoes will be an excellent
yield. The early varieties promise
poorly, still in many localities the crop
VII be good. Corn which appeared to
be scorched and withered by the heat
and drouth to an extent that threat
ened the return of only a meagre crop,
is coming forth beautifully, and prom
Uses big yield. The hay crop will
not be so large as usual, nevertheless
it will be sufficient for all the needs of
home consumption. Small grain as
general thing. excepting on low
ground, is failure. On the whole
the crops in Wood county will be good,
and in some portions excellent.

light the peculiar difficulties met by re-
publicans in exposing and furnishing cor
ruption in their own party. 1t says
Every time rogue has been punished the
opposition has shouted: "See how corrupt
republicans are!" 1t is as if, whenever a
surgeon removes tumor from his patient,
the mob should shout: GLOW very rotten the

Fret, every time we remove rascal we lend
plausibility to democratic calumny; second,
every time we punish one We make dem

recruited, not only by those knaves we have
dismissed from Office, but by still larger
number who have been unable to get office.
1t is not impossible that by this process they
may in time recover a majority. Coed men
cannot, without uneasiness, contemplate the
possibility Of the country once more falling
into the control of that party, when, in addi-
ton to the devils which always paralyzed it
for any noble effort, it shall have been reen-
forced by all the unclean spirits expelled
from the republican party.

The newspaper founded by Horace
Greeley loses its temper over the Indiana
democratic platform, and uses language
that reminds us of the oid-time vigor with
which its founder pummeled the demo-
Gratis. 1t says; "Here is democratic
Convention which has so thoroughly for
gotten the oldest principle of the demo-
cratic party as to glory in the shame of
abandoning hard money, declaring prac-
tically for reputation by proposing the
payment of the United States gold bonds
in greenbacks, and rivalng Morton in the
demagogue's clamor for more currency.
Tom Benton would have spurned such
spurious creatures from any Convention
OF honest Democrats, and declared them
not decent enough to be kicked."~

LETTER FROM RHODE ISLAND.


To the Editor of the Journal:
To those who are not enjoying the invig-
Grating breezes that blow toward the land from
the Narrsganset Bay, it may be pleasant at
: least to hear good tdings from this the small
est, but by no means the least of the United
States.
East G reenwch is small town Of about
1000 or 5000 inhabitants, situated on the
headlands of the beautiful Narraganset or
rather the Village lies on an area of the Bay,
called Cowest Bay. However it seems like
he same. The town is quite celebrated from
being the birthplace of some noted individuals
among others Silas Casey, of Fair Oaks fame
and author of a system of Military Tactics in
use during the war. mile or two away, just
across Cowesit Bay, was horn in 1912, Gen.
NathI Green, the hero of Eautaw Springs,
and also prominent in the battles of Trenton,
Brandywine and others. The Updike Hotel
also contains many Oft the old tmhers of an
inn and trading post erected in lG4l on 'Pe-
quot PATH" the site of which is occupied by
the above named Hotel.
SO much for the village, and now for the
business on hand. DIR. Eben Tourjee con-
ceived the idea of holding Normal Musical
Institute, for the benefit of those especially
who contemplate making music teaching
something of profession. He was ably as
sisted in his efforts by other eminent teachers,
who decided upon the elegant grounds and
buildings of Greenwich Academy, which were
kindly placed at their disposal
The idea of combining seaside pleasures
and musical discipline from our country's
most competent instructors, is a new and
novel one in this country, although quite
common in Enrope), but certainly it is one
that cannot fail to elicit the appreciation of
all who are favored in enjoying its remark
able advantages.
With his usual activity the DR.. seems to
be everywhere present, arranging now for a
ride, and then a sail, after the hours for study
ana practice are over, always seeking the en-
joyment of those under his charge.
