The GOSPEL MEETINGS have con-
tinued since our last issue, and are still
held daily. under same arrangement
as then noted. The attendance and
interest has not Notwithstanding
increased. At all events ii did in
crease greatly during the latter part of
last week, when some meetings were
held ut which 10 one, however indif-
ferent could have been present with
out realizing and knowing in his heart
that some powerful influence, entirely
outside of and beyond anything that
could come from or be done by the
participants, pervaded the assemblage.
The religious portion of the commu-
nifty seems TO have been almost en-
tirely and thoroughly awakened, and
their united prayers and efforts have
resulted in more and still more hope
full conversions. Rev. r. ID. Parsons
remained with Mr.. Lee until Saturday
morning, preaching afternoon and

announces that poultry in this State is
poor and scrubby, and growing more
so-stating as the reason that it is sola
by the head instead of by the reuud,
and that therefore poor scrawny pull

SuIlNG FOR Edward w.
Clark, a mail agent on the c., r. ]. d
l.. X. e., and living ut Wilton, filed
papers To day al the Court House pray
ing for IA divorce from his wife, Maria
Antoinette. on the ground of adultery.
Ii is alleged that the particular act on
which the charge il based was com
mitted in this city last fall, the wo-
mans paramour being gay Lotha-
rio' from Rock Island, whom she
met by chance" here. The case will
come up at the next term of the Dis
trict Court. Mr.. Clark is known to
many of our citizens.
The above, from last week, Thurs
days Muscatine Journal, explains its
elf, hut the Wilton Reuie,r in copying
it and also PUBLISHING. ''left my bed
and board" notice, makes the follow
ing comment:
To citizens of this town it will cause
no wonder from the fact that the cir
cumstances were surmised by them
before Mr.. Clark was apprised of them.
1t has been anotorious fact that things
did not look in good condition in that
direction for some time, but as Mr..
Clark is away every other week per-
forming his duties as a postal clerk he
was not aware of the situation or the
unbccoming, to say the least, acts OF
his wife. The other morning when
he came home he found that she had
left his house and carried with her
several articles of his own effects.
Our citizens will sympathize with Mr..
G. in his misfortune, or shall we say
congratulate him upon his good for
out, and think no less of him on ac-
count of the part he takes in this un-
happy affair.

THAT METEOR LAST WEEK. When
Noah's ark was about finished, and he
saw the heavens blackcning for the
dcluge, the outside world said, He
holds his corner lots "a high ~ ever"
TIC.
The above, intended to Offset para
graph about the Adventists which has
been going the rounds, il probably a
mistake. If old Noah had any corner
lots, he was undoubtedly ready before
entering the ark to swap for sea biscuit
Or india-rubber goods at o heavy dis
count. He had firm conviction that
real estate was going under.

SOUTHERN ANNEXATION.

The Philadelphia Inquirer candidly
bases Its opposition to Mexican anuexa-
ton on the ground that it would be the
height of unwisdom to add to the area Of
"a solid South" until it has been made
quite clear that the heresy of secession is
so dead that it can have no possible re-
surrection. 1t Is difficult TO understand
what possible proof the South can give
that she has discarded that doctrine that
has not long ago been furnished. The
Inquirer seems to think that 1t Is the
South alone which desires Mexican an
nexation. There is not q particle of
proof of such suspicion. The Inquirer
talks about solid South having interests
apart from those of the North, East and
West. We had supposed 1t we'll proved
now that its interests were in common
with those of all other sections, and If
they were not we know of no law of
equity or political economy by which one
section should sacrifice its interests to
those of other sections. The annexation
of Texas and California resulted more to
the advantage of the North than the
South, and the same in all probability
would be the consequence of additional
annexation. Nothing is asked in regard
to Mexico except that she should restrain
the predatory bands of outlaws who cross
the Rio GIands to rob and murder citi-
zens Of the United States. We are
pleased to see that the Inquirer itself
concurs in the view that if the Mexican
government cannot restrain its people
from acts of lawlessRess upon ours 1t
should be compelled to pay the United
states Tor restraining them, policy
which it says iG is the general impression
cannot be tried too soon. However,
where once it was secession that was
feared on the part of the South, now it is
annexation instead.
The daily gazette., 1877-11-17

The whole outlay of the United King
dom for intoxicating drinks In 1876 was
estima ted at 100000, 600; that of the
United States for the same year is said
to have been $500 100000. But John Bull
draws very handsome revenue from
this source. The income of Great Britain
for 1876 was about s40O, 200, 900, and of
this amount $l7O,00O,0O0 came from GUS
toms duties on wines and spirits, and ex.
else duties on spirits, malt, and licenses
In 1862 the customs duties on imported
wine wines aud spirits amounted to $780,
March last they were S37 10000 Ex-
else duties on spirits, malt and licenses
in 1862 came to 1000 900; tor the year
ending on the 3lst of March last they
were over S132, ,OOO, 900.

A BRAVE LITTLE BOY.

From the Fort Scott Monitor
The little son of Mr.. VIM. Carruthers,
who lost his right arm by the same acci-
dent that deprived his father of his left
arm, showed the most remarkable hero
ism in that trying hour. AS soon as the
accident was discovered, General Agent
Mug rushed to the assistance of the boy,
while Others went to the relief of the
father. When Mr.. Ming laid the boy ON
a seat in the caboose, he said, "Where's
my hat 2" and then, "Where is my poor
papa ?" His father at this moment was
borne into the car by those who had
gone to his assistance. "Papa, one of
my arms is gone" said the little hero,
and not cry or groan efcaped his lips
from first to last.
