 Y zl- 1 4- .st* Ia There are several men, connected with the State Canvass of the Executive Com mittee of the '. M. c. Associations in this State. who, have been holding Gospel meetings in several places in connection with the churches, and last week Mir. Wilcox and Mr. Lewis from New London. Mr. Adams from Bristol. and Mir. Orcott from Waterbury, came here and held meetings three evenings and two. days. Monday evening We had praise service at the Centre, and devotional meeting,. the subject of which was the Holy Spirit. On Tuesday. all three meetings were at the Methodist church in West, Goshen, and in addition to the praise and devo- tional services, the subjects were. Bible reading ; an Experience meeting Conse- cration to God our greatest need in Christian service; and the sinners need of Jesus. The meetings were very well at- tended. Fhe three meetings Wednesday were in the Congregational church at the Centre. and although it was an awful day, reminding us of tue 10th of February, 1860, when Mr. Joseph 1. Gaylord was killed, the people came in great numbers to attend the meetings, the wind roaring so as to make it difficult to hear the speakers. Subject in the morning, Jesus in the Home, Family Influence in the afternoon, the Duty and Joyfuiness of Personal Effort to win Souls, and How to Labor Successfully in Christian Work in the evening. Jesus the Saviour of Sinners. Have you come to him? Mir. Lewis, Tn closing, spoke feelingly to those who hope they have lately found the Saviour, and to those who are thinking of their souls salvation. He also asked the prayers of Christians to attend them as they go to another place. Rev. MT. Hagen closed with very appropriate remarks, and before we separated all united in singing 'Blest be the tie that binds, etc. The brethren left us for Roxbury and are to be in Sey- mour tue first half of this week, and then in Danbury.
 The case of Bradshaw vs. Weldon, came on for trial last Saturday, before Justice Norton. Trial of Weldon vs. Bradshaw was adjourned till February 18th, until which time the decision in the former case was reserved Kilbourn for Weldon and Prescott for Bradshaw.

 MIR. ED1ToR:-I common with many others I was glad to notice in your last issue few figures in relation to our town taxes As you say. those reports should be looked into and their figures compared by the tax payers. It is chiefly for this purpose that they are printed. And the town officers are of course willing it should be done if done fairly and understanding. ly as all who handle other peoples money, if faithful to their trust, are willing their accounts should at any time be examined. But do not think that all who speak or write on this subject are dissatisfied tax payers" as you classify your former cor. respondent. The large majority are as willing and ready to pay their just taxes as they are to pay any other debt. All they want to know is. are they necessary, and has the money been reasonably and iudiciously expended? This they have right to know, and in duty to themselves they should know. This I believe has oc- casioned much discussion on the sub- iect for the last few. months. Other towns around us are, and have been, dis. cussing the same subject. But you like short articles. A brief review of some of our expenses next week.

East Cornwall.

There was fine fall of snow on Thurs day night which set our farmer friends to work drawing wood piles and logs to mill, &c.
 East Cornwall, or tue original College Street, has commenced its spelling schools once more. There was one held at the East Cornwall school house on Monday eve., Jan. 31st. which proved to be quite interesting. It was under the leadership of Mir. Frederick Johnson, who is teaching the aforesaid school this winter. The contest was started by choosing sides with "J. c. B." and "Jack" as choosers. The spelling went on evenly for time until J. G. B. took all of Jacks spoilers, leaving him alone. Then the scales turned and Jack took all of J. G. B. s spoilers, leaving him alone, looking quite forsaken. Then J. G. B. drew back part of Jacks best spoilers, after which we had a recess.
 After recess the school was invited to stand up and be spelled down. The ranks soon began to thin out, J G. B. going down on the word "T-h-r-u-m-b. Jack followed on Grisly, ''G-r-i,z-l-y." and Mr. Almon Miner of Cornwall bore off the honors of the evening. After this we had declamations, dialogues, &c. We rather suspect one of Cornwall's famous univer- sity scholars of trying to impose upon us by trying to read something about pile of Bells from Eaton's Intellectual Arith- metic. Anyway the book very much resembled the aforesaid work, which your humble correspondent thinks he is we'll acquainted with.
 We were startled last Monday by the report that there was to be wedding that evening in our immediate vicinito. It proved to be one which was very easily dissolved, so no one was hurt after all, but our friend R-- must be more cautious next time. JACK.

were inflated in nearly if not quite a
corresponding ratio. The high prem
ium on gold which prevailed during
the rebellion, in which our duties on
foreign goods arepaid, added this
premium to the rates of duties impos-
ed and gave ample protection, even
with the high rates of wages and high
prices for money. But when the
premium on gold commenced declin-
ing in greater ratio than interest,
dividends and the wages Of labor, the
rate OF duties on many articles ceased
to be adequately protective to our
home industry, and it became depress-
ed for the last 4 or years, and will
continue in this condition so long as
non-productive capital has the ad-
vantage, under the present laws.
These disadvantages to home labor
and our productive industry can only
be remedied by wise legislation on the
part of Congress ...~
In our next we will try topoint out
the legislation required.

How to Obtain a Farm A
Plan Suggested.
FRosTBURG, Aug. 2, 1876.

Mr.. Editor Wishing to suggest a
plan whereby some of our fellow-min-
ers could be made independent of the
coal mines, propose the following as
laudable one if put in force
Iii for every miner in our coal
field to subscribe, say, fifty cents per
month, towards obtaining farm, to
be drawn for each month. AS there
are about four thousand miners in our
coal fields, this monthly payment will
amount to about two thousand dollars
per month. That amount will start
family at once upon farm where he
can live happy. Let the miners of
each mine appoint a Secretary and
Treasurer to enter all names and re-
celye all monies of subscribers. The
Secretary and Treasurer of each mine
be then empowered to appoint gen.
eral Treasurer to receive the subscrip-
lions from all the mines. Let there
be a'day of drawing and ticket be
put in box for each subscriber, one
OF them representing the prize. and
the balance blanks; let boy be blind
