MIR EDITOR On the arrival Of the Pill
grim Fathers in New England, they had Bit
ter recollections OF their oppression by the
church OF England, and resolved to wipe out
all recollections and forms of the established
church. They called their houses ofworship
meeting houses, and instead Of the cross,
an emblem of stability, with which the spires
Of churches at home were crowned, they
placed on theirs weather cocks, unstable as
the wind The worshippers in the English
church all knelt, or sat with bowed head, in
prayer, and stood during the choral service.
rhe Puritans reversed this, as they did many
other forns. They sat during the singing,
and stood with their backs turned to the Off
ciating minister during prayer. THIS custom
was universal among those who retained the
faith of the Puritans until within forty years,
and has been continued as the prescribed atti-
tude during devotional exercises, in dellbera-
tive bodies in New England to the presenttime

After turning Us over to the chaplain, it would
seem that the presiding officers duties ceased

before the Most High, the members feel bound
to obey the power on earth and all spring to

Now do not object to the attitude of stand

The ladies of the Baptist society gave their
first entertainment to thoroughly pleased
and satisfied audience at Granite Hall last
evening. The stage exhibition, lasting about
two hours, was pleasing, chaste, and beauti-
fu; perhaps as elaborate as anything at
tempted at levee in this city. The fine ex-
hibiton of stattary received the most en-
thusias.ic commentator. The success OF the
stage entertainment is due in large measure
to the direction and organization ofthe Boston
artist; but he had good material to work with.
On this (Friday) evening, at the same place,
will be given the second and last entertain
ment, with change OF programme. One i'm
portant feature of the evenings performance
will be the representation of Miss Malory's
views on the Chinese question, by permission
of the author, Mrs Mapes Dodge, editor of
the ''St. Nicholas" The piece will be read
and illustrated in four still and one moving
scene. No comic piece has had wider cir
culation, having been read by Mrs. Butler
and nearly every public reader Of note in
England and the United States. A magnfi-
cent present will be given to the person re-
ceiving the highest number of votes.

The Fair.-We trust that farmers gener-
ally are preparing to contribute to the inter-
est and value of the next county fair. There
is class of men and women in the country
and town who always beara cheerful, lively
part in these exhibitions of the work done on
the farm. in the orchard, garden, shop and
household but the number of such is toe
small and select it is matter in which the
majority of rour citizens should cooperate
Farmers should especially interest their chill
dren of proper age in these fairs, by giving
them a chance to own, raise and prepare ami
mails, &C., to compete for prizes. This would
prove a means of interesting them also in the
noble pursuit of farming, and chre them Of
the desire to go to towns to fritter away theil
force in the less lucrative positions of clerks
etc The Association offers liberal premiums
scan the list, and set your caps to secure some
Of the rewards.

divers Chilled Plow:is one of those
agricultural implements which commands
itself to farmer as soon as he examines it
and no wonder, for its many points of superb
ority are so pertinent that they at once COM
mend it. For light ess of draft, steadiness in
running, ease of management, and its dura-
bility, enables it to do more work and 10 do
it better than any other plow yet introduced.
So far as economy is concerned, those who
know anything of the quality of chilled met
al, should know that plow made thus would
outwear any plow made in the ordinary way.
Even steel plow is not its equal for durabili-
ty. This admirable plow is only for sale by
Thompson & Co., where our farmers can al
ways see and inspect it. Besides, there have
been enough of them sold to farmers in this
vicinity, who will bear testimony to their
good qualities. If
