his much-estsemed friend Copeland now 50 pleas
antly situated in Rochester, n. Y. II he has re-
ceved your paper regularly, he has before this
time seen that your correspondent has not been
altogether delinquent, and the gentle hint may
prompt to more activity. 1t so happens that most
OF the recent locals have pertained TO the actions
and interests OF the churches, and this will be tho
sase this week There seems to he an unusual
interest in the Methodist meetings. The attend
ancc upon the prayer-meetugs and Sunday SER
vices Is very large . On Thursday of last week,
Mr. s. IL Wheeler was ordained to the Christian
ministry and the pastorate Of the Congregational
church The council was not large, several Of the
churches invited being unrepresented, on account
of sickness or other causes, hut 1t WAS thought
best not to defer the services ON that account
The singing was under the lead Of Mr., Oberi the
invocation and reading Of selections OF Scripture
were assigned to Rev. Mr. Underwood, Of the
Methodist Episcopal church; sermon and ordaln-
Ing prayer, by Rev o. q, Wheeler; the charge to
the candidate, By Rev Mr.. Stafford, OF Burlington
and the charge to the church, by President Buck
ham, of the Vermont University. We will just
note n prominent thought In each OF the charges;
In that Of the candidate, II was individuality.
The minister Of Christ should feel his individual
responsibility. There is no inyarable round Of du-
ties for all ministers alike, nor can any number Of
them establish a common Identical responsibility.
President Buckham discoursed at some length on
the temporal benefits resulting TO the community
from the faithful work of the churches The edu-
catoual Interests and financial prosperity are adj

under very unfayonblo circumstances,
the weather being much better suited to
December than juno. That, however.
did not deter people from paironizinc

svery scat being taken.
Mr.. Queen has been fortunate In sc.
curing the services OF n quartette OF
bareback riders that cannot be e1celled
in the world. Some Of the attitudes OF
Mr.. James Robinson are statuesque in
their fauitless grace. His perfect poise
when he rides around the ring with his
little son Eugene standing unaidsd on
the top OF his head. Is well worthy the
study Of an artist.
Mr.. Charles ". Fish performs some
feats Of bareback riding that are truly
astonishing. and are probably the most
difficult ever accomplished. His riding,
however. is not 80 apt 10 please NJ IL
Mr. Robinson's, from the fact that he Is
not quito SO certain in his movemsnts.
People who are not acquainted with
the difficult nature Of his feats, are Lin.

that the former was called back to the

than q sixtson.mule team.
The trick horses and mulc created no
end Of amusement last night. tho little
Shetland pony in particular being a great
success.
In the m~enaserie are many curious
and rare animals. Tho hogopotamus Is
certainly one Of tho s,raugest looking
swine ever exhibited in this or any other
country. The principal partof his body
is his head. which is ~ornmnented with
enormous tusks. similar To those OF tho
Wild boar. His eyes are a perfect du-
