Ed. BULLETIN Dear Br0.-In accor-
dance with my promise to many of your
subscribers to acquaint them of the do
ings at Special Convocation held at
Charles City, Floyd county, where the
Rev. Hale Townsend is missionary in
charge, desire to say that the same was
eminently successful. The missionary in
charge, feeling that the design held in
view would be best attained by inviting a
few of the District clergy to assist him,
in response to his invitation, Through
Dean Ryan,, the following named clergy
men reached Charles City on Tuesday
evening, the Sth INST: The Rev. Joseph
E. Ryan, Dean, Rev. A. A. Butler, Rev.
A. j. Stilson, Secretary of the Southern
District. Rev. F. Humphrey, and the Sec
rotary of the District, Rev. Dr. Thos. B.
Kemp, of St. James. The mission is a
new one, hence has no church building
of its own, but the Baptist, Methodist and
Congregational denominations not only
threw open their church doors, but their
hearts, and thus we were permitted to re-
aliZe once again the oneness of the Body
of Christ The course of sermons and
addresses were of a practical character,
and the immediate results to the Mission
was the doubling of the number of COM
municants, and the admission into MEM
bership by baptism of 20, with promise
of many more. The next regular meet
ing of ConvocatiOn is to be held in st.
Luke's Church, Cedar Falls but Convoca-
ton meets In special session in ST. James
Church, in this city, some time in June,
of which due notice will be given.

THE town Marshal of GAINESVILLE last
week, got on track OF party of chaps
who were wont to repair to certain
place for the purpose of gambling. He
forthwith made raid upon them, cap
turing five of them with cards in their
hands. They were taken before the

SERIOUS RUNAwAY-Mr. V. w. Davis,
the wcll-known stock breeder of West
burg township, and wife, met with an ac-
cdcnt last Saturday, quite serious and
well nigh fatal in its consequences. AS
we gather the particulars, MIR. Davis and
wife started for home after doing some
trading at Jesup, und when half mile
from the village, the horses became
frightened and unmanageable. After run
ming some distance the wagon was over
turned and smashed to pieces, and Mr..
and Mrs. Davis were violently thrown
out against wire fence. We are not in
formed of the character of their injuries,
but learn that they are yet confined to bed
in consequence.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Dubuque

There was no occasion for so flat a
falsehood as the above. The ConsTrou-

that when we ascertained that Mr.. Jones
would be candidate, we gave that fact
just as much prominence as the announce
ments of other candidates. Further
more, we recognize the right of Mr..
Jones to strive for the position by all
honorable means. We simply do not
propose to be the Champion of any candi-
date before the nomination. Let there

Blackhawk county is disposed to boast
of the fact that she issued eighteen NOR
riage licenses in April, while Buchanan
county could only get rid of nine Du-
buque Times.
April is not our marrying month; be-
sides if large share of Blackhawk's mat
rimonial alliances are of the involuntary
sort described by the Courier, and cop,
led by the Times in the same column
from which the above is taken, she hasn't
much to boast of. Ours are all of the
honest kind, preceded by the regulation
courtship, the old folks willing, and on
hand with the customary blessing, and
all that.

THE OPERA.-The rendition of the op-
era of tie Bohemian Girl, by the Rich
ings Bernard English Opera Company, on
Monday evening was pronounced by near
ly all who heard it, the finest musical en-
tcrtainment, without exception, ever Civ
en- in our city. The principal characters,
by Mrs. Bernard, Mrs. Drayton, Gates,
Kinross, Howard and Morgan, were OK
ccllently sung, and though the chorus
lacked somewhat in smoothness and pre-
cision, it contained some very fine voices,
and added much to the effectiveness of
the performance. Mrs. Bernard showed
in her splendid rendering of the charac-
ter Airline, very little if any abatement Of
her youthful force or sweetness, her voice
being clear and powerful, and under per.
feet control. Mr.. Gates, rs Thaddeus,
won much credit and applause, as did
Howard, rs Devils hoof, and Kinross, as
the Count. Some of the concerted num-
worthy of praise we mention especial
ly the chorus at the close of the second
act-snd were received with genuine en-
thusiasm by the audience. Altogether it
was very satisfactory feast of melody
to lovers of music, and will prepare for
the troupe, when it comes this way again,
a very cordial welcome and liberal pat
ronage.
1t was matter of regret that this splen-
did troupe of artists were not favored
with larger audience. If it were due
to want of appreciation of entertainments
of this character, it would be an imputa-
ton upon our good taste, but undoubted-
ly the stringent times had much to do
with the paucity of the house.

AT A meeting of the Baptist society,"
of this city last Sunday evening, it was
decided to extend call to Rev. Jas Pat
crson, who has been officiating in that
church for two or three Sundays past.
Mr. Patterson accepted the call, and on
Monday started for Chicago to prepare
for entering upon the charge, one week
from next Sunday Mr., Paterson is ''an
old bachelor" that is, he is upwards of
40 years old and unmarried. This is a
serious disqualification for minister,
but it fortunately is not irreparable. The
church relies with confidence upon the
unmarried ladies in this emergency.
