during the past year has been vigorously
prosecuted. New fields have been opened
with great promise, and additional laborers
secured, through whose assistance the WORK
has been sustained and enlarged, making it
altogether year unexampled in our history
OF jealous activity in this department. Du-
ring the summer months epen-alr meetings
were held each Sabbath afternoon at three
or four different points in the city. Services
were also kept up regularly in the city jail,
almshouse, and penitentiary. The daily
prayer-meeting at the rooms was continued
during most Of the months OF the year.
Since last September cottage prayer.meet-
ings have been conducted each week. The
meetings on the canal, about mile above
the city, and on Oregon Hill, have been
continued without interruption during the
winter months.
More than sir hundred meetings for reli-
pious purposes have been held under the
auspices OF the Association during the past
wear. From the very nature OF the WORK IL
has been difficult to ascertain the results.
God has not left us, however, without tokens
of His blessing. At the meetings held on the
canal there have been nine conFerslons-ai
OF whom have connected themselves with
some evangelical church. a gracious reVl-
val of religion resulted from the meetings
held BY our brethren on Oregon Hill, which
was continued in one OF the churches, and
one hundred and fifty souls professed
to have found peace in believing in our
lord Jesus Christ. Among the prisoners
at the Jail and penitentiary much interest
was manifested, and desires to lead ho!ler
and better lives were frequently expressed.
Atthe open-air meetings 1t was often the
fase that more than score at time would
ask FOR the prayers OF the brethren present.

Keeping Rye Ina Stack Ten Years for
Rise I'm Price.

Keeping Rye Ina Stack Ten Years for "a
Rise In Price.
On the farm of Jacob and David
HOLDEN, in Lowhill township, Lehigh
county rye stack which was kept
standing undisturbed for ten years has
at last been removed. The Allentown
Democrat says it was kept because
they were holding off for better prices
than had at any time ruled during this
long period, and because they did not
stand in need of money.
There, however, being poor pros
pect under the existing hard times and
prospective plentiful yield of the new
crops of any great rise in grain, they
recently came to the sensible couclus-
ION that their one stack could at best
not be depended upon to force the
grain markets of the country to the for
mer war figures, and so decided to take
1t down ,thresh out the grain, and turn
ii into market, which labor was last
week performed. The rye was of the
crop of 1865, year noted for scani
! grain production. so scant that in the
majority of cases farmers throughout
this county did not realize over two
bushels from the 100 sheaves.
The stack Of the lIolben's contained
5000 sheaves, and though so long re
naming in It's original state of con,
struction it was found that the grain in

from the Dng exposure OF the cute
straw To all scrts OF weather. Afte
thrcshing and cleaning up the owner!

bushels OF grain, which was equal to I
bushels TO the 100 sheaves. The grail
was at once hauled to BittnoI S mill anC
disposed Of at the regular marke
price, which was just S5 cents less thai
the same kind of grain sold at pc

won't save Europe i-om the potato
bug invasion, il this story from the

Bartlett, while off Long Branch New
Jersey, on voyage from Havana to
New York, was boarded by perfect

rest kept on in an easterly direction, "
AS is well known, England last year for
bade the landing of American potatoes
On its shore until they had been in
spected, so great was Johnny Bali,
fear OF the potato bug, but, as we sait
before, all precaution fails agains
this lively pest. Even now the Other
half of that flock are nearing tho
shores of Albion, and it may be tha
j b. will be glad to have American
'murphies" without the trouble of in
specting them.
