Mr., EDITOR:
Chicago, Nov. 6.
A hard frost on the night of the fourth
ult.. (the first of the season.) decided the
fact that fall had surely come. True,
men and nature, had dotted their summer
attire for the warmer CARDS and more
sonIbre hues of autumn. The flowers
had been gathered into their snug winter
quarters. and all were waiting in SILVER
ing expectancy for the first icy breath of
the Frost King; nor was the waiting long.
On Monday about 3 A. NJ. Old Boreas came
out with all his forces, and like politicians
before election, he blOwed, and like the
discounted party after, he raved and
tore. The lake was dashed into fury. and
the poor mariners blinded by, the snow
and sleet, and deafened by the surge of
| the angry waters seemed indeed at the
mercy of the winds and waves. 1t was
| the most disasterous storm known here
| for many years Wrecks of vessels are
scattered along the lake front, schooners
| lie high and dry on the beach, while many
Others are badly damaged.
| The lecture season has come. and al
ready some noted lecturers are in the
| field, some clergymen of the city have
gone away on like missions, preparatory,

mer vacations.

talks on historic characters of the middle
ages. Abbie Sage Richardson is speak

Mathews of the Chicago Institute is also
about to give course of lectures. The
noon prayer meetings at Farewell Hall
are crowded daily with devout worship
ers, earnest seekers, and rejoicing con-
verts. Three days of the week the topic
in these meetings is temperance and much
good is being done in reclaiming the
drunkard. A great amount of personal
work is done for this unfortunate class,
and the results are glorious. Another
PRAYER meeting has been holden daily III
the same hall at p. NJ. for three years,
and conducted by;a Mrs, Rounds, one Oh
the best leaders / ever saw, and certain
~ the most devoted to the work in which
| she is so earnestly engaged. Her prayers
