CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
DR.. Walcott, OF Chicago, will arrive in
the city on Wednesday and in the evening

as he thinks it better that the persons in
terested in this movement should retain
their membership in the Presbyterian
Church, aud endeavor to close the Chasm
between the two tactiOns-at least make
an effort to harmonic as far as possible.

cert in Grey & Garrett's Hall, the object

MANSFIELD, O., Aug, 49,
Editors Of the TntellIgOnCCr.
The proposition for holding State Ar
chmologiCal Convention on the lat Of Sep.
tember in this city, with the view Of the
concentration Of knowledge upon the sub.
ject, especially directed to the mound
builders, and the formation Of perma-
nent State society, to collect and preserve
remains as well as to advance knowledge,
Is taking on large proportions. 1t will
be attended by many OF the most emmi.
nent scientists In the State, and from
other States, and the collection Of pre-.
historical relics will be the largest and
most imposing ever collected In the Coun.
try. The cabinet Of DR.. Henderson, Of
MELVILLE, the largest collection In the
country except perhaps the Smithsonian,
is now being arranged for exhibition, and
many will be brought from other parts Of
the State and from other States. We
hope TO nee some Of your scientists and
explorers with remains from Grave
Greek, Martinsville, &c. ThecOnvcntion
will probably be In session for two or
three days. Our city is hospitable, md
our committee are preparing for the en-
tertainment Of all guests.
Our State camp meeting, now being
held here is pretty well attended, though
rain has fallen every day but one since
the lat Of August. To-day, the sky is sad
and grey as an Arctic winter, the clouds
occasionally dropping tear or two over
a sinful world.
The political outlook here is very ia.
vorable for the Republicans at the next
election, but It appears TO gain more Rd-
herents by the Geghan bill and the fear
Of Catholic influence in our public schools
than by the financial question.
The apparent financial strength and
ability Of your city attracts many encom-
iums from our business men, and the pur.
chase Of glass and nails especially IRON
YOU Is considerable. One Of our best
Wholesale dealers in glass and china, Mr..
ITaronn, is with you now. Yours,
