ET The Christsaas Union is undoubtedly the greatest and most popular of our reig- ious weeklies, having justly earned circu- lation which is the largest in America. As religious paper it has no equal, being an unsectarian, independent journal, using the Bible, not as an armory for theological warfare, but as a storehouse of spiritual food ard refrcshment. The news of the day receives its proper share of attentionfn the columns of the Union, in compact, terse reviews of events in the Church and the State, both in America and abroad. The paper is of equal value to all classes, to the scholar as well as the artisan, to those in terested in the great topics of the day Religion, history, science, politics, finance, sociology, reform-and to the family seek ing amusement with instruction. We have noticed an especially elevating and refining influence in the Union, not only in its liter ary and art departments, but in the gen. eral tone of it's social and household articles it has well-br and home-like air about it. The paper is now giving to its readers George MacDonald's new tale of the civil wars in England, called St. George and St. Michael. back numbers of which are sent to all new subscribers. This will be followed by a new story by a distinguished and favorite author. Its new feature of Monthly Illustrated Numbers proves most interesting and attractive series. The pie ture premiums given to subscribers, choice chromos, (genuinely beautiful Paris printed oleographs), and Marshall's splendid steel engravings of Lincoln and Washington are really artistic, and all that the most fastidious taste could desire.

Cornwall.
 Owing to the severe drought, news items are at discount. Nothing is talked about or thought about but the shortness of the crop in general. The hay and tobacco crops are very slight; corn is looking well as an average; potatoes are struggling with the Cry weather, and Cornwall of course, not to be behind other places, has the DO. tato bug; they are composed of three dis tinct species, one of which, reading the edi tor of THE NEWS comments of two weeks ago, are called the Pukeadorus stinkus bug ......On Saturday evening of last week an entertainment was given at the house of s. F. Dudley for the benefit of the Cornwall Cornet Band; the band were treated to ice cream and other delicacies, besides en- toying the society of the boarders, which we all know to country people is a rare treat, there being sort of sotherness' about them which we in the country admire, but those of us who do not know that it is very surprised when driving an innocent bovine through the streets to hear feminine shrieks and exclamations such as 'Oh mercy, there is COW; wonder if it will hook ? etc.; and also to see young man who comes up into the country for his health, whenever he goes out doors in a sunshiny day carry an umbrella large enough to keep the rain off from two elephants and mule; but these things we have yet to learn.... ..Seve- ral of our young men are making prepara- tons to attend camp meeting; that is they are getting their boots hlacked and their fa- ces washed......One evening of last week there might have been seen (speaking after the manner of the dime novelist) young man walking along the streets of our vil- lage, who from his strange manner was thought to be troubled with nothing on his mind. He wandered to and fro on the face of the earth without apparent purpose. Some of our philanthropists taking pity on his forlorn state, took him and learned that his strangeness was occasioned by the grand order of the o. M. w. & G. having met at his place of abode. Kind reader, would you know the name of this strange young man? twas X.Y.Z.

 FRIEND PHASE. During the heavy thun, der shower on the afternoon of July 18th, the house situated on Sharon Mountain and occupied by MT. Wm. Bownes, was struck by lightning and considerably damaged. The fluid passed entirely through the house, knocking off large pieces of clustering and mixing up things generally. Mrs. Bownee and their granddaughter Laura, and young man that dropped in while the shower last ed, were considerably paralyzed. but not seriously injured. The old lady was fixing the wash boiler at the corner of the house when ball of fire of intense brightness came down the conductor and parayzed her so that their near and kind neighbor, Mrs. Hopkins, was instantly summoned, and by free use of camphor and other res toratiYes she was soon restored 10 con- sciousness. The old lady said to me that for some time the house was SO full of sul- phurous smoke that she could not realize whether she was yet on the earth or in that other place that is all fire and birthstone Mrs. Bownes said that after all she did not care much about it, only it was too bad to have the lightning knock a hole In her boiler and otherwise unsolder it so as to let out all her water when everything was so dry. There is good lightning rod on the house, and in good order, but the lightning did not seem to be much attracted by it.

EpRToR NBws.-The centre of Micigan ii locking finely as this season of the year. An abundant supply of rain has brought forward the crops and they are good. Corn looks ven, though not any more forward than with you in Connecticut. The wheat crop is Rood-better than the aYerage-bet ter thsn 1t was lass year, when 1t was above twenty bushels to the acre but the fields present singular appearance. The crop wss partially winter killed, but came again; the spots that did not kill are more for ward than those that came again thus to- asy the Aelds are in patches, alternate green and golden the old-time cradles are being hreaRht into use, and there are spots al- ready cut while there is much more ready, and in every field there are spots that will noa hs ripe in ten days. This makes the labor of the harvest field much more se- ysrs and will call for moro hands.
 Oats ara very heavy crop all through ths West and promise very abundant har' vsss. which must reduce the price greatly. A prominent dealer here told me yesterday that he should not want to contract now to bay oats as over lS cents per bushel. The fact Ia that good rains make good crops, end good crops make the farmers feel well.
 You may send THE NEws to me. l shall always welcome 1t for the items of home news it contains Yours truly,
