 The latest thing in the tramp llne- the potato bugs seem to be seeking winter quarters, and beseige every house. They are bold and intrusive; the best parlor is not to good for them, if the door happens to be open; and they even aspire so high as to enter the guest chamber.
 The weather for week past has been lowery, with sprinkling of rain every other day-just enough to muisten the face of nature, but not enough to raise the brooks, springs, or wells..
 We went to the tent meeting in Dan- iel's grove, last Friday evening; notwith- standing unfavorable weather about sixty persons were present. Rev. A. W. Brad ford, of Springfield. Mass. presided. Rev. J. o. Day made powerful exhorta- tion. and some twenty others of both sex es took part in the meeting and testified for Christ. MT. Bradford preached again on Sunday to a large audience, The tent is to be taken down to-day (Monday), but the meeting will be continued occasional ly somewhere in the neighborhood. Some twenty hopeful converts are the result of these meetings; while some backsliders are drought back to the fold. Some rude boys tried to create a disturbance on Sun evening. They are evidently not aware how strict the law is in such cases.
