WEEK or PRAYER.-The Young Mems
Christian Associations Of the United States
and British Provinces recommended to
all Associations the customary Observance
Of the second Sabbath in November as q
day Of prayer and thanksgiving. At the
Seventh Triennial Conference Of the
Young Mems Christian Association Of all
lands, held in Hamburg, Germany, Au.
gust last, where seven nations were repre-.
scented, the appointment Of the American
Association was heartily concurred in,
and it was
"ResOlred, That during the coming three
years, or until the meeting Of the next
Conference, the week beginning with the
second Sunday in November be observed
as a week Of prayer for the blessing Of
God upon the work Of the Associations"
These resolutions, passed by delegates
from our societies in all parts Of the
world, give promise Of an Observance Of
this day and week OF prayer for young
men more general and efieCtual than in
any previous year.
The following suggestions are made in
aid Of the observance Of the day and week
in each Association:
!. Ask Of your pastors sermons to
young men from the various pulpits OF
your town or city.
Q. Arrange for a smaller meeting Of
those most actively engaged in the work.
The brethren have often found the only
available time to be very early in the
morning,
3, Give all possible publicity to the an.
nouncement OF the day and week-special-
ly among the members OF the Association
that every one may observe it in public
services.
4. Call, il possible, union meeting on
Lords day, November IA, for prayer and
conference about the work, inviting the
entire public.
8, II possible secure collection in one
or more OF the churches friendly to the
cause.
0. As for as practicable, signalize by
some extra meetings during the week the
fact that Christians all over the world
are uniting in special prayer for young
men, and for our work among them,
7, II an extra meeting can not be held,
use special effort to give prominence to
this subject in your ordinary meetings.
8. Most earnestly would we urge system.
attic personal effort TO secure the attend
ance Of young men at these meetings, par
tiCularlyo Of those who have not yel begun

TIE famous Ward will case still drags
its length along in Detroit, and week
will probably pass before the case is
given to the jury, The defendants Of
the will are now producing evidence in
It's support. This Is mainly confined to
the general asSGTtion Of Captain Wards
soundness Of mind, Scores Of leading
citizens testify to his extraordinary
strength OF intellect. Evidence has also
been brought in to show that, though q
Spiritualist, Captain Ward did not be.
lieve oil that the mediums told him. 1t
was shown that he was beyond all com.
parison the foremost business man in
the State Of Michigan, and one Of the
most active and prominent in the whole
Northwest. Born in poverty, he accu.
mulated q vast estate, estimated al 49,
$4,000 This, the supporters Of the
will claim, could never have been the
result had Captain Ward trusted wholly
to the spirits for directions regarding
his business, as alleged by the opponents
OF the will. On the other hand, there ia
vast mass Of testimony indicating Capt
Wards belief in Spiritualism, and the
connection Of his conversation with me-
diums and the making of the will. Mar.

tiers, Of CHICHESTER knockings" celebrity,
and the wife OF the famous Attic expIor.
er, Dr.. Kane, testified that she was fire..
quently consulted by Captain Ward about
his will, and that different spirits strug-
gled for the possession Of her, the spirit Of
the first Mrs. Ward advising an equal
distribution, and the spirits Of the father
and cousin OF the present Mrs Ward pre-
dieting that all OF tho children by the
FIRST wife but two would become insane,
and advising will giving the bulk ofthe
property to the second wife. No less
than Ten mediums from various sections
Of the country have testified to Captain
Wards having consulted the spirits

Whence these useful tradelmen get
their designation Is q matter Of some un.
certainty. The generally accepted deri.
vation with those who have Investigated
the matter Is that the word comes from
the French crosse, and that tho dealers
are 70 called because they formerly sold
only a Ia crosse, not dealing in small par.
GELS, or by retail. "Retail grOCers" would
seem, II the derivation Of words is con.
sidered, misnomer. But custom has
settled 1t. The word "grocer" was form.
erly sometimes written "grosser." Some
ingenious wordmongers get the Word
grocer, or grosser, from the Hebrew
"grOssus," signifying green fruit or lgS,
which, says Bailey, "they very consider.
ably trade ill.," From the same authority
we find that grocery" in his day, meant
not only commodities sold by groCers,
but, also, Small money, as farthings and
half.pence." II may be noted that the
plural form groceries" has hitherto not
been used in England any more than
"chandleries" or "hosieries." We per.
ceive, however, so manifest Is the con.
veniencc Of the plural form that II Is
coming into favor, like many other
American innovations. Grocers were al.
so formerly called "pepperers," but that
was when pepper was scarce and dear
article, and did not hold to other grocer.

From the above It will be seen that the
total vote Of the county this year is near
ly 1000 greater than 1t was last year or
the year before. The Democratic vote
this year is about 1000 greater than the
average Democratic vote tor the past five
years, Probably the heaviest vote ever
polled in Belmont county previous to this
year was in 1872, when 7,943 votes were
polled at the October election. The total
vote this year being 9,l57, Is therefore
1914 votes more than was ever before cast
