although We have here probably better
| church and Sunday school facilities and q
larger proportion Of the people under their
influence than in any other city on the con-
| tlnent, that the churches and Sunday schools
do not as yet fully reach the masses-that
there are hundreds of children who do not
go to the Sunday school and Of adults who
never go TO churcif..
He then spoke Of the adverse influences
which must he encountered. 1t was esti-
mated that there are six hundred licensed
liquor stores and grog shops in Richmond,
(and large number of these keep open even
on the Sabbath) to lure our young men TO
destructien-to pile up taXes-to corrupt
the foundations Of justice-and to carry
wretchedness and misery and woe to the
| hearts and homes of our people.
He did not know. how many gambling
hells and other dens of vice curse the city ;
but enough to excite the serious alarm Of all
| friends of good order and morality.
What could we do to meet these evils and
counteract their baneful Influences? Public
schools, houses of refuge, asylums, temper
ance societies, &C., are all very good; but we
must do something more.
We must seize humanity and bring it to
Christ before these evils get possession of
them.
We must send the gospel to the masses.
We must establish mission Sunday schools
which shall go out from our churches and
Come back ester churches to join US in our
grand work. .s'@'
He insisted that these mission schools can
only be efficient as they go out from aud are
sustained by the churches with view to the
ultimate organization of churches at the sta
tions. He closed by eloquently urging that
in teaching the Bible and emphasizing the
pure doctrines of the Scriptures as the only
hone of the world, these schools will ac.
complish work which eternity alone shall
fully reveal.
DR.. BURROWS
then made few felicitous remarks, and a
committee was sent through the congrega-
ton to secure life and annual members. The
number Of names secured could not be
counted before the meeting adjourned, and
the treasurer carried home his handkerchief
full Of the slips upon which they were writ.

The singing during the evening was led
by the Sunday-schoOl choir Of the First
church (under. charge of Dir. George A. Mi
nor), and was very good. The hymns were
printed Oh slips and distributed through the
congregation, and it is very rare that sing
Ing is SO generally engaged in or so heartily
enjoyed.
The congregation was dismissed with
brief prayer, and the benediction by Rev. j.
William Jones, and the members of the AS
sociation seemed TO feel that their meeting
had been grand success.

an agreeable one indeed. 1t was more like
spring than q winter day. The air was
delicious aud refreshing, and the churches,
as q general thing, were thronged, especially
in the afternoon and evening. In the Epis-
copal churches, as the Catholic, the day was
known as Qulnquagesina-Sund Sun
day next before Lent, or the seventh Sunday
before Easter.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
On Thursday, October l, while scrapng out tho
county ditch on his farm, IN Seneca township,
Lenawee county, Mic higan, Mr.. Oramon Tuttlo
came In contact with an obstruction which over.
turned his scraper. On examination 1t proved to
be an immense horn, the remains Of some extinct
animal Further digging has developed the other
horn, part OF the skull, collar bones ana q number
Of ribs, also one tooth. The water running back
into the excavated pit has put temporary STOP
to the digging but 1t will be resumed this morning
and measures taken TO preserve the bones. Tho
animal had evidently died standing up.
/ have just visited the spot and examined the
bones and the place from which they were taken.
the Hlsdale and Adrian Colleges pronounce ce them
horns and not tusks. They nave an outside shell
and . distinct pith.
The space occupied BY the skeleton is over
about twenty feet apart The ends OF each are
decayed, but they now measure eight feet nine
inches Ia length, and must have measured about
ten feet when whole: Three feet from the large
cumference and they weigh IT'S pounds each.
Some OF the ribs were seven feet long. The tooth
secured IS frontal tooth, three inches square,
and weighs TOUR and half pounds. They have
been viewed by several thousand people, many of
whom have seen the tusks OF the mastOdon, which
are quite common In this State, and all those
The ANIMALS horns must have measured twenty
feet across. His height was probably about fifteen
ieet, ana length, Independent Of horns nearly
twenty The above statement is perfectly ref-
able. There Is no canard about It; and, II you
think proper, you are free to publish 1t. From
your regular subscriber, Il. HALLENBECK.
