Mr.. MILLIKAN:
For the past ten days business has been
unusually dull; so say our merchants
who, for great portion ofthat time, have
been waiting for (not waiting on) custo-
mers.
We understand that the dedication and
dance of the 1. o. of r. NJ, at Bourbon,
last week, was pleasant affair, passing
| off quietly and to the entire satisfaction
of all who participated therein.
Among the various candidates now be-
fore the people, tor the Office of County
Treasurer, the most popular in this vici-
nifty is VIM. Dudgeon. of Green township
"a man of sterling integrity and highly
esteemed by men of all parties. Mr.. d.
was not seeker after Office; but was in
duced through the urgent solicitation Of
friends of both parties, to allow his name
to be announced as candidate for the
above named office.
Mr.. l. Mattingly was in town last
Saturday, looking after the interests OF
the Bourboun Mirror. He informs us
that his subscription list is about as large
as when publishing the Marshall! County
REPUBLICANS; but advertisements rather
more limited. He spoke OF the citizens
of Plymouth being quite liberal in their
patronage, and highly appreciative of the
benefits of advertising.
There are many citizens here who
would be happy to receive visit from,
and welcome the handsome (?) phiz of
the proprietor of the REPUBLICAN. Come
right along; not with our friend Harris.
but take the cars which will insure more
safety with less speed.
We have had an auction man in town
for the past few days; but his business
has been something like the ID
shearing hog'-more noise than wool.
Married, in Plymouth, last Tuesday,
Mr.. Henry Shaffer, of Green township, TO
Miss Mollie Fish, of Walnut township.
Work on the new school house will be
resumed this week by NJ. r. Tribby and
VIM. Mcclure, carpenters, and VIM. Bea-
ton, plasterer. 1t is the design of the
Trustees to push the matter forward to
completion as rapidly as possible, and to
further this object it is hoped that ali
who are delinquent on subscription will
pay up promptly.

Changers and Christianity.
From the ohicago WINES. MAY 1eth.

From the Chicago Times May 18th.
ScHooLcRAFT, Mich, May 1S-Rev.
A. E. Ketchum, of the Methodist church,
took a bold stand against the granger
movement on yesterday, much to the as
constituent of his audience, largely COM
posed of patrons, among them 5. +.
Brown, master of the state grange. He
pronounced the movement as unchristian-
like, and gave many reasons why church
members could not conscientiously belong
to the order. He said that all institutions
should, by their principles and policy
respect Christianity; and the interests of
our country, the business of merchants
and mechanics, is acknowledged by both
human and divine government to be law
full and right, and no organization is JUS
titled in doing anything to injure that
business. The policy of the grangers, if
successful, would disorganize the entire
trade of the country, and utterly ruin the
local tIades in every part of the United
States. The grange was at first organized
to do away with tire great railroad mo
nopolies :: it has now become greater
monopoly, or will, if successful, than the
world has ever seen; it will break Gown
the entire law of competition, which is
the only safeguard of the poor, and pour
the profits of trade into the hands OF the
few instead of the many; it will injure
the farmers themselves by injuring the
commercial interests of the towns it les
sens the value of surrounding lands. The
preacher urged that the members should
withdraw from the order, as its principles
are not in accordance with the golden
rule; that, if carried out, society would be
divided against itself He urged his
hearers to patronize home interests, spend
their money in building up home trade,
and enriching the section wherein they
reside He quoted from a confidential
circular of tie grangers, about to be is
sued, advising and requiring every mem
Der to purchase no article except through
their grange agent, he buying of foreign
dealers at wholesale, thus entirely ignor-
ing tradesmen of their own villages.
The CHANGERS in and out of the church
are much incensed at the position he has
taken, and will probably reply to his re-
marks.
The question is open for disclssion'
and in view of its importance should be
thoughttully and dispassionately cxamin-
ed. We invite both friends and opponents
of the new order, to send us coInmunica-

Mr.. MILLIKAN:
Health is getting better.
Weather warm the most of last week.
Considerable rain last Saturday and
Saturday night.
The most of the farmers in this vicinity
are planting corn.
There will be another furniture shop
started here before long.
John Twist says in the REPUBLICAN
of last week that "John Boldin from
Denver, made a short visit to Walnut last
Saturday and Sunday" John must be
mistaken, as there is no person in Denver
or vicinity, who bears that name.

Aversion to Manual Labor.

The practice OF educating boys for
the professions, which arc already over
stocked, or for the mercantile business,
in which statistics show that ninety.
Eve in a hundred fail Of success, is fear
fully on the increase in this country.
Americans are annually becoming more
and more averse 10 manual labor; and
TO get living by ones wits, even at
the cost Of independence and. self-re.
spect, and fearful wear and tear OF
conscience, is the ambition Of large
proportion OF our young men. The re-
suit is that the mechanical professions
are becoming monopoly Of foreigners,
and the ownership Of the finest farms,
even in New England, is passing from
Americans TO Irishmen and Germans.
Fifty years ago father was not
ashamed TO put his children TO tho plow
or to q mechanical trade but now they
are "too feeble for bodily labor ono
has pain in his side, another slight
cough, another 10 very delicate consti-
tuition" another is nervous and SO
poor Bobby or Billy or Tommy is sent
OF to the city to measure tape, weigh
coffee, or draw molasses.
It seems never to occur to their fool
ish parents that moderate manual labor
in the pure and bracing air Of the coun-
try Is lust what these puny, wasp-waist-
ed lads need, and TINT to send them to
the crowded and unhealthy city is to
send them TO their graves. Let them
follow tho plow, swing tho sledge, or
shove the foreplane, and their pinched
chests will be expanded, their sunken
cheeks pumped out, and their lungs,
now /" "cabined, cribbed, and confined"
will have room TO play. Their nerves
will be inyigorated with their muscles;
and when they shall have cast of their
Jackets, instead Of being thin, pale,
yapid coxcombs, they shall have spread
out to the si2e and confguration OF
men. A lawyers Office, q counting.
room, or q grocery is about the Lost
place to which q sickly youth should be
sent. The ruin Of health is as sure
there as in the mines OF England.
Even OF those men in tho city who hayc
constitutions Of iron, only five per
cent. succeed, and then only "liying
like hermits and working like horses"
the rest, after years OF toll and anxiety,
become bankrupt OF retire and having
meanwhile acquired a thorough disgust
and unfitness for manual labor, bitterly
bemoan the day when they forsook the
peaceful pursuits OF tue country Tor the
excitement, care, and sharp competi-
tion Of city life.-M, In What NcIt?

The Church Of England,

There are at present, in round mum:
bers, II, 730 bone6ces in England and
Wales, Of which /, 900 arc new districts,
which are being continually formed out
OF the old large and overpopulous par
ishes. Various acts OF legislation have
Of late years facilitated this. These
districts are called perpetual curacies,
or incumbencies, and for the most part
are but very slenderly endowed The
old benefces are either rectories, where
the incumbent receives the great or
corn tithes, or vicarages, where he re.
ceiyes tho small 1.-THE only. The great
tithes had anciently been bestowed up
on tho neighboring monasteries, who
appointed Wears who lived on the
small tithes and offerings Of the peo-
pie. At She dissolution Of the monas-
teries, many Of the great tithes were
giyento laymen, and laymen now ex-
tensively hold them, and some TO en-
dowed colleges. There are two popu-
lar errors with respect to church prop
erty: one Is, that the endowments were
in some way made by the state the
other, that they are very rich. Neither
OF these is the case. The endowments
were all by private beneacence, and
there is no tenure 80 ancient as that by
which the parish church holds her prop
erty. In the aggregate, the amount IS
very large, and was ascertained by the
commission appointed in 1880 to be as
follows Bishops, 91sl, ,631 /; deans and
chapters, 9360,095; parochial clergy,
90, ,25l, 150; total annual revenue, &3,-
702, 1886. The revenues OF the Irish
branch are stated at $1,000, 1000, but
this is probably in excess Of the truth.
Since 1880, the English revenues must
have rather increased from private be-
nificence and the increase In the value
OF property. Divided equally among
the whole number Of benetices, this
would give an average Of less than
k300 per annum for tho Joint support
Of incubent and curates. II appears,
frsm the last census, that there arc in
England and Wales L, OFT churches or
chGpels, served by 1880 ministers, or
1923 ministers to every 100 buildings.
The church rates, ,amountingto $500, 600
annually, are no part OF tho ministers
endowment; /; they are collected and de-
voted to the repairs Of tho church fab.
ric, and the warming, lighting,
cleaning, etc., OF the church and are
under the exclusive control Of the
church wardens Of these there are two
in each parish, one generally nominated
by the minister, the other elected by
the parishioners. The patronage Of the
church is in great variety Of hands
in the crown, the bishops, the mobiles,
and gentry, and incorporate bodiessuch
as colleges and cathedrals. Adyowsons
and next presentations may be sold as
property, but Approximation may not be
sold when q living is vacant. A clergy.
man is "presented" to his living by
the patron; he is inducted by the bish-
op or his appointee; he must tread
himself n"-i. O., he must read the
Thirty.nine Articles after the morning
or evening prayer within two months
after induction.
