Capt. j. G. Cockrill, near here, lost a
fine young horse one day last week. He
was returning from Bolivar in buggy,
and when on Bolivar Heights his team
was run into by runaway team belong

e,rated the side of Mr.. C.'s horse, kill

Rev. Mr.. Ferguson, of Charlestown,
commenced a series of meetings here
on Monday night of last week but the
weather for the remainder of the week
being Indictment, he was compelled TO
defer services until this week. Last
night Mr.. Cackley, OF Jefferson Circuit,
preached an able and impressive sermon
from the text, "How shall We escape II
We neglect so great salvation. Thus
lar there have been no conversions.
Pursuant to a call by the County Su-
periutendent, the teachers of the public
schools in the county met at Charles
town to day, for the purpose Of organ
izing an Institute" and to discuss the
proper time aud place for holding the
same. After considerable discussion il
was decided by vote to hold the Insti.
tute in Charlestown, but it was left with
the County Superintendent to decide
when it should be held. We think it is
the desire of majority of the teachers
to have it as soon as practicable; that
ia. some time in March or April.
A"Business Committee was appoint
ed, which will select the work to be
done in the Institute and the persons tc
do it. Everything promises to work
harmoniously, and the Institute will nc
doubt be an advantage to the teachers
and through them to their several com
munilies.
The Sabbath School here will have
Christmas Tree and some interesting
exercises in connection Herewith.

Wine Products Of New Jersey.


This State is becoming celebrated for
grape culture. Some of the richest port
in the world is produced in New Jersey
by Mr.. Alfred Speer, whose name has
become celebrated as Il producer OF strict
ly pure unadulterated wine. The Port
Grape Wine of Mr.. Speer is not bottled
or put in market until 1t is four years old,
and has become thoroughly fine and mel
low. Ithas proved itselfa wonderful as
sistaYt to physicians, who prescribe 1t
from the fact that they have hitherto
found it difficult to obtain pure Port
Wine. This Wine is recommended for
debilitated persons; and is given to con-
sumptives to use with fresh raw eggs, ana
as IL medium for taking cod liver oil. The
difficulty OF getting an imported or even
pure California Port is well understood TO
be so great as to preclude Doctors from
allowing their patients to run the risk OF
its use. Mr.. Speer being aware OF this
fact has taken the utmost care in the max
ing OF his wine from the ripest and finest
grapes, so rs to supplant the imported
wines by producing s. genuine article.
His wines are known by chemists to be
pure and the most reliable for medicinal
purposes. The Druggists throughout the
country sell it, as bottled by Mr.. Speer.-

BLEMIsuEs UPON THE FEMININE CoUSTE-
NANCE, if of a compleXional nature, speed
ilv vanish when GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP
is used to obliterate them. Pimples, blotch-
es. rouphness, redness and tan are inva-
riablv banished by this incompatible
clarifying agent. Eruptive ailments, sores
cuts, bruises, scalds, and other affections
and injuries of the cuticle are likewise re-
moved by it. SULPHUR BATHS have long
been renowned as the best remedy for
skin diseases, rheumatism and govt.
GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP is in every respect
as etficacous, and far cheaper. BY OPEN
ing the pores, and promoting vigorous
superficial circulation, this eXcellen; ar
ticle contributes to the health of the en-
tire system as well as to that Of the cuti-
Gle. Since its introduction to public no.
tice it has repeatedly been commended by
the medical profession and press, and few
external specifics have won such golden
opinions" among all classes. 1t prevents
obnoxious diseases as well as remedies
them, and disinfects clothing and linen
impregnated with disease. Dandruff Is
entirely eradicated by it, and its use is, on
that account, greatly to be desiderated by
persons whose hair is thinning ont in
consequence of dryness of the scalp.
Those who have used ointments and Ii
auids without avail for the cure of erup-
tons of an obstinate character, will find,
if they try it, that GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP
removes scorbutic complaints irremedia-
BILE by less etiicacious means, and prevents
the recurrence of such disorders.

upon the ninth year of his pastorate on
Sabbath last, and in his sermon on that

years, torty-seven had died and sixty
four moved rway, the net gain to the
congregation having been SO. Nearly

purposes, and the pastor had delivered
in round Numbers 400 sermons and
lectures to his congregation. Which of
