NEW HAMPSHIRE,

Mr. John II. Nichols, has recently
been ordained to the Baptist ministry,
at Goflstown Centre. The sixty-sixth
report of the yearly work Of the Bible
Society, of this state, has just been
issued. The President, is Dr. Spald-
ing, of Nashua, and Deacon W. G..
Brown of Canpton,is Superintendent.
This society has instit t 1t b. anches,
in each county which are furnished
with suitable executive officers. And
it is said that this organization is
making strenuous endeavols to have
every family in New Hampshire how
ever destitute recuniarily, supplied
with copy of the New Testament,
The a mt collected last yeal, cash
which amounted 10 81 500. Mrs
Betsey Whitehouse, who died not
long since, bequeathed S. 1000, to this
society, in her will. But some legal
flaws occur in it, and it is being con-
tested in court. Thus it is not GER
tain whether the society will derive
any funds from this bequest, or not.
The officers are all pious men, who are
earnestly interested in their sacred
work. An encouraging measure of
religious interest is being shown by
certain classes Of the inhabitants of
Hudson. The church in that town,
have admitted sixteen new members,
since the first of May. Consequently,
they feel decidedly strengthened, in
many respects, and are more hopeful
i'll regard to their future prosperity.
In defiance of the heated term, the
young mems Christian association
workers, are proving themselves to be
enterprising They have held a seri-
es of crowded meetings at West Stew
artstown, and will soon CONNER ce a
number at Wakefield. And their
gatherings are crowned with success.
And every place they have visited, in
campaign, has been awakened. Men
and women wio were formerly hard
hearted, and sceptical, are seriously
thinking Of their spiritual welfare.
AMI among them, are persons of
wealth, education, ndinnuence. The
church at Gambia, have given call
to Rev. w. Ii. Phelps. Of East Wind
sof, c., to become their pastor.
The Congregational church organ
ization at Bethlehem, has heen mark
ed by its poverty, and weakness, for
upwards of seventy-tiye years. And
it has often been expected that no
worship Under its auspices, could
possibly be supported in the wis
dom of divine Providence, however,
more favorable state Of affairs has
been introduced. And this promis-
ing change greatly cheers the hearts of
the sympathlzing people. A fire new
church edilice was dedicated there, on
Sunday, August 9th. Rev Dr.. j. f.

One of the leading commercial pap
ers has been looking up the national
balance sheet for the last ten months
rs far as exports and imports a,e con
eerned, and the showing is a highiy
favorable one. Within that period
our imports have decreased thirty-one
and half millions, as compared with
The same time last year, willie at the
same time orr exports have increased
in the extent of SCI, 61S,0S4 showing
a balance in our favor Of Sl57, lO4
OPT. There is decrease in the ship
ment of wheat, but the loss is more
than made up ia the shipment of corn.
We have made large gain in the eX-
port of manufactured articles, es-
peceally cotton goods. Inproporiion,
double of last year. There has been
large gain in provisions, tobacco and
moral stores. Swine cattle and fresh
beef, has been q large item, and a new
one, as also cotton goods. We have
sent. agricultural implements to all
parts Of the world. But there is one
drawback that throws mud on this
beautiful picture, and that is it takes
Just about the balance that comes to us,
to pay the interest on our bonds, that
are held abroad, embracing all kinds
of government municipal and corpo-
rate. But it is far better for us, Of
course to be able to pay our interest
account abroad in this way than to
have to ship the gold for that purpose.
ctill it is not pleasant reflection to
think as q nation, we have to employ
nearly the whole OF our vast resources,
or to speak properly, the surplus be-
yondour wants, to pay for what goods
we import, and to square our interest
account from year to year, and all
this has come because of our extrava-
giant folly during the past few years.
And yet we are not wholly wise now,
and IL ! every man, and especially
women in. the, country, would live
within 4heir means, during the next
ten months, the BALANCE sheet would
be vastly increased in our favor.

1t is predicted that there will be
four tickets for State officers in the
field in Wisconsin this fall-Republi-
can, Democratic, Grecnback and Pro-

not amount to much, and the main
contest will lie, as usual. between the
Republicans and the Democrats.

At the tins Of our great Centennia

At the TINS OF our great Centennial
exhibition last year, we he'd between
10000 and II, 600 miles of completed
railway in the United States. The
last yenr has been very hard for rail
roads. The poverty of the times pre-
vented travel, and reduced the freight,
81 much so, that many roads have had
hard work to meet running expenses,
and repairs, to say nothing of interest
on stoekahd bonds. During the first
half of-the present year, there have
been according to the RaaUay Age
foreclosures against 80 railroads, and
16 roads have had receivers appoint
ed, and proceedings for foreclosures
have been commenced against l6 OH
er roads, making "a rail roads that
arc Involved in this kind of embar-
rasslhent, and many more are not be-
hind these in financial matters. The
above named roads have an aggregate
length ofnear 1000 miles, ald have
liabilities of near $3.50 100000. The
entire cost of all the rail roads in the
United States is near S5,000,000, and
roads representing nearly one half of
this immense sum are now in default.
Or have been sold nnder foreclosure.
Outside of these roads, there is anoth-
er class that pay interest on their
debt, but nothing on their stock and
but very few pay interest on the lat
ter. This showing is certainly not
favorable to the rail roa1 interests Of
the county, and shows il most cases,
that reduction of expenses became
an imperative necessity.
