WOODS MEETING.

On next Sabbath morning the Methodist
here intend commencing a woods meeting,
to be held in the shady grove near the
church, to last three Or four days The
work of saving souls has been going on in
SO many eommHnities that the people here
fee. the importance of engaging in it toQ.
If Mr.. Aldred' s deep an;, stirring sermons
fail to arouse the members of the church
to a higher standard in christianity and to
impress the unconverted, how useless would
be the effort of an evangelist.
THE FESTIVAL HELD LAST WEEK.
The Episcopal denomination held a fes-
pose of raising money for the Sabbath
school. We think they did will, though
we are not certain.
CoLoRED SABBATH SCHOOL. oRGANIzEL.
The colored people, who live in Grove
Neck and make up large part of the
population, have never had any direct eff
fort made to instruct them either morally
or mentally till last Sabbath, when some of
the more enlightened of their brotherhood
went among them and organized a Sabbath
school. The number that attended and
the interest they manifest in it, by their
eargerness to learn, was wonderful 1t
promises already success for good.
WANTED-A GOOD RAIN.
A good soaking rain is the great need of
the farmers here. 1t rained very singularly
three times last week. In some places it
would rain heavy, almost flooding the place,
and perhaps the next farm adjoining there
would not be enough water fall to settle
the dust
STRANGE FACES.
For several months we have been seeing
strange faces as we 90 to and fro and in
our congregations. The superstition is that
our Philadelphia friends are returning GEN
tennial visits.
CRABS PLENTIFUL.
Crabs are being caught in such large
numbers this Summer that some of the
fishermen on the Elk River have aban-
doned that avocation and gone to grabbing
as ? better way of making money.

THE OXFORD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
AS many OF Cur citizens are directly in
terested in the success of this institution,
they will be gratified to know that it is in
fair way to be soon cleared of all iiDan
cial encumbrances, and the prospects are
for better fair this Fall than for several
years. The Spring fair was decided sue
cess, and the spirit manifested among the
members will make the next more so. A
meeting of the stockholders and board of
managers was held last Saturday. At the
meeting the stockholders agreed t. tax
themselves 81 each, or pay that much of
an admission for themselves and stock, to
increase their receipts and pay off the debt
that was incurred in improving their prop
erty. With the large number of stock
holders, there have been always two or
more admissions free, and many of these
free admittances have received cash pre-
miums. So it is yet a profitable thing to
become stakeholder, especially for those
having large families OF pretty daughters
who are then admitted free. The man who
proposed to pick the bones of this Society
may go hungry awhile yet.

truths in regard to fertilizers and other
things Mr.. d. said: Many farmers an
nually wasted on their farms many tons of
manure more valuable than the best manu-
featured fertilizers. 1t would be advisable
for them to be more economical in future.
The Changers have store in Newark,
where anybody, Granger or otherwise, can
purchase goods cheaper than elsewhere in
the town or vicinity. They do business on
a cash basis AND make no losses. They
divide the profits, if any accrue, eI.ry
six months among the purchasers.
The Changers of Delaware had brought the
large manufacturers of Philadelphia to
compete with each other, and they could
buy bone there, through the Grange, for
five dollars a ton less than others could,
and were sure they got all they paid for

Grange. and thought they would be bene-
fitted thereby.
After Mr.. Dean concluded his remarks,

ment tG his remarks, his intention being to
induce the ladies to join the Grange. He
spoke of the parable OF the talents and urged
the ladies not to keep their talents wrapped
up in napkin.

Grant Preparing for War.

A telegram from Washington states
that Cameron is having all the govern
ment arms and ammunition removed from
arsenals in Democratic cities and States
to Republican citier and districts.
Nearly fifty thousand stand of small
arms have been moved to the arsenal at
Rock Island, ILL.,, III the centre of strong
Republican population. Over eight hun
dred pieces of artillery were packed in
the same place, and have been shipped
by rail for New York to be mounted in
the harbor. They are now in Cincinnati
en- route. The War Department denied
all knowledge of an intention to make
these removals or even of their progress,
but information from the staff Of the
General of the Army makes it certain
that these shipments are part of an organ
lied plan to empty the arsenals in Dem
ocratic cities. Information has also been
obtained that orders have been given to
supply the batteries now in Iowa with
eighty rounds of ammunition, or twice
the usual amount, nearly all the extra
rounds being shrapnel, canister and grape.
The army will not fight to please Grant

"A HAPPY NEW YEAR."-That eacf

"A HAPPY NEW YEAR."-That each
reader of the GAzETTE may enjoy "a
Happy New Year." is our most sincere
wish. And we feel confident that the
wish would be realized to very general
extent notwithstanding the severe times,
were it not for the alarming state into
which the country has been placed by
Grantism and the conduct of the abomi-
nable Returning Boards in Louisiana.
We say to each reader of the GAzETT e
with all sincerity that if such an outrage
had been attempted by the Democratic
party to defeat the national will the
GAZETTE would have condemned it in no
unmistakable language, and so we think
would every true Democrat. Notwith-
standing all this we hope that TILDEN
will be quietly inaugurated and that con-
fidence will be restored and all will en-
