DEAR EDITOR; Tie exhibition al
West Independence, Oh Thursday
night, was a grand affair. The audi
torium was crowded with spectator,
who will remember the exhibition after
the Centennial is forgotten. The Inde'
pendencs band delighted the audience
with unrivaled music, aud the other
performers riyaled the TennesseeaLs
III singing the beautiful song, en-
titled ''There is Meeting here To-
Night" Their other performances
were equally good. The stage mana.
ger won good opinions by his fine
bearing on the stage
We are honored again by the pres
en:e of Mr.. III. Hawkins, of Findlay,
agent for a Life Insurance Company
of New York We kind of fancy that
he has taken a fondness for some of our
girls, and that will explain Why he is
trying to work up business in this vi
cini'y.
The season of parties is about over,
and a new era is ushered in. It is time
to make garden, and it is edifying to
See a couple of young ladies under the
of mamma, marching for
tile garden, armed with spades and
rakes, and prepared to sweep every
thing before them. Vegetables cannot
fail to grow where such energy is

! Roads good; we don't want pixies;
the boys were out in full rig Sunday
the girls formed the walking brigade
farmers busy blowing, some do,.e SOW
ing, some plowing for corn.
; Our small boys go fishing on Sun
days. 1t looks nice to see them march
ing up street with string OF minnows
and a big pole on their shoulders ~
Boys when you go fishing on Sunday,
go the back way. God sees you all
the same, but have some respect for
the Sabbath, and for those who respect
It.
Siddali aud Scott, of Findlay, gave US
a lecture last Sunday afternoon. They
handle the question we'll. We lave
some good temperance men in our CON-
muBity, and we have some bitter enc
mics to the cause. We have one who
would suppress religion to vindicate
his cause,
Now there is another curse that is
nearly equal to whisky, and that is
tobacco. 1t don't kill, but the chewers
make a fearful muss of it. We have
some young men who make practice
of going to church and trying to see
who can spit the most juice on the
floor They think it is sharp, but it is
shameful that any community should
Lave boys who are guilty of such
tricks.
The Band is talking if getting uni
forms, if they can raise the stamps.
They say when they get them, they
don't want them taken away and sold.
We have had a few nice showers
which makes tie grass look green.

Presbytery of Lima.

This body, embracing the Presbyter
| ian ministers and churches ia th,
counties of Hancock, Putnam, Var
Vert, Allen, Auglaize, Mercer anG
Shelby, held its regular spring meeting
in Findlay on the 10th and 11th inst.
and there were present eleven minis
.ers and twenty elders.
There were present as corresponding
men bers, Rev. J. R. Sutherland, o.
the Presbytery of Grand Rapids, Mich
igan. Rev. D. Kingery, of the Presby
terry of Columbus, Ohio, and Rev. s.
s. Sprecker, pastor of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Findlay. Rev.
w. Z. Hill, in the absence of the Mod
erator, preached the opening sermon,
and Rev. r. McCaslin presided in the
opening exercises.
Rev. w. Z. Hill was elected Moder-
otor and Rev. j. V. Stockton, Clerk.
The following are among the items
of business transacted: Rev. r. Nc
Caslin on bis own request was released
from the pastoral charge of the church
in Sidney, that he might be free to
accept call to become the pastor of
Park Church, in Dayton. Bro. Nc
Caslin was accordingly dismissed to
to connect himself with the Presbytery
of Dsytor.
Rev. W. E. Hill, of Ottawa. and
Elder A. Boyd. of Lima, were appoint
ed commissioners to the General As
sembly, and Rev. T. P. Johnston, of
Lima, and Elder o. Jay, of st. Marys,
their alternates.
An overture sent by the General
Assembly to the Presbyteries, propos-
ing a change in the ratio OF represen-
tation in the General Assembly, was
in the negative.
Mr.. James b. McCracken was licen-
sed TO preach the Gospel, as ii proba-
tioner for the full work of the minis
try.
Notice was taken of the death of the
venerable George Van Eman, who
when living was the oldest member of
this Presbytery, and suitable resolu
tions were passed expressive OF the
high appreciation in which he was
held by his brethren for bis ministerial
ability and faithfulness, for his emi
nent usefulness and success in the
vineyard of the Lord. during the sixty
eight years OF his long life spent in
the Gospel.
The narrative of the state of r-ligion
shows the churches within the bounds
of this Presbyte.y to be in a state of
commendsble prosperity. Many con
have been increased in
all have had acessions
from the world, and a few have inioy-
more than ordinary religious interest.
Sabbath schools have generally been
enlarged in numbers and efficiency.
Prayer meetings have been well at
tended, the cause of temperance in
several localities has received new life,
and the signs of the times are propi
tious of rapid advance in this sphere
Of usefulness, since it has become more
a work of divine grace than
formerly. All Christians have great
to support this cause
with real and earnest effort.
A vote of thanks was rendered to
people o: Findiay for the kind hos"it-
ality extended to members of Presby-
terry. R. Fl. HOLIDAY.

vince them that the vote of a State
which was good enough to secure
Hayes electors, is not good enough to
secure Governor.
