ET A meeting OF the doctors of d.
vinity, who believe in the second coming
of Christ, will be held in the Church of
the Holy Trinity, New York, on Octo,
Der 30, 81, and November l, to discuss
the prospects, and interchange opinions
on the subject. 1t is conference Of
Protestant believers exclusively. Some
English elergymen are expected to be
present and take part in the devotional
exercises. There seems to be q wide
spread doubt upon this important mat
ter of record, and the object of the NEE.
ting is to re-atfirm their belief in the
second advent, and strengthen each 9TH
er's faith. DR.. Tying, Jr., is in no doubt,
whichever. He said in reply to ques.
ton that he was firmly convinced that
Christ would como again into this world,
to take His church, and establish His
kingdom upon earth. There appears to
be growing belief among the believers
that the time is not far off; probably
that some now living may live to see
Him come and crown the church with
His glory.

Gallagher died yesterday afternoon, at
OF this sad event, though not unexpected
by the many personal friends who have
so long and patiently watched by his
bedside, will cause shock to the com.

thousands Of bereaved hearts in every
section of the State. For there was NO
man in the State better known or more
universally beloved than Major Gallagher
and no one whose death could be more
generally regretted. During his lines,
he had every possible attention that the

Cincinnati Star: The application of
wire in binding shcavos OF grain, AS n
substitute for the straw itself, looks. to
many old-time farmers, like an extraya
CANT and useless waste. 1t has so stead
lily come into use, however, in connec-
ton with selt-binding reapers, that the
sale of this article tor harvest use is en-
ornous. One rolling mill, alone, al
Cleveland, Ohio, shipped about fifteen
hundred tons of this wire, last season
for the purpose mentioned. and it is fair
to suppose that other manufacturers had
their share of the trade, Wire is also
taking the place Of wood-splits and rope
in baling hay, and its convenience to
farmer in hundred other ways is so APP
parent that it will soon be looked upon
as necessity on the farm as well as in
the workshop.

Boston Herald We cannot forget
that the republican party is responsible
for Butler, and deserves to be made sick
by him. 1t has repeatedly accepted him
as good enough to send to congress, to
deal with national questions, though it
has refused to allow him to be governor
of Massachusetts. 1t has encouraged him
to buster and swagger, when they were
exercised on the people of the South,
and there would be sort of poetic JUS
tice in it if they sholld be forced to see
him cavorting around in their own china
closet. SO far as the republican party
OF Massachusetts is concerned, it de-
serves severe shaking up, and we will
not lament if it gets it.
