The MEETINGs.-The subject Of
discourse last evening by Chaplain
Stubbs was, Reconciliation" Text
ii Cor. 5, 1S and 20 verses. This
subject was presented as having
divine and human aspects. These
aspects are the substance of the Cos

reconciliation;' God is represented
as sin Christ reconciling the world
unto himself" The ministry ''are
ambassadors for Christ" etc. in
Christ's stead, beseech men to ''be
reconciled to God" Contemplated
on its divine side Gods reconcil-
ing work. visibly achieved, by the
incarceration, suffering, death, resnr-
rection and ascension Of Jesus Christ
is REDEMPTION. Contemplated on
its human side-God's reconciling
work experimentally realized in in
dividuals, and wrought in human
hearts by the Spirit of God, and the
word of Gods SALVATION. The
world is redeemed, but multitudes
of human beings are not sared.
Humanity, thro' the redemption ac-
complished by Jesus Christ, is re-
deemed; j. e.. are placed on salvable
ground; and whosoever will may
partake the truth of life freely. To
induce ali men to partake of this
truth as it is in Jesus" is the pur-
pose and aim of the ministry of re-

INDIAN TRouDLEs.-A letter from
George Chaplin, Goose creek, is
published in the Idaho Statesman,
which states that there is prospect
of an Indian outbreak in that section
of Idahos that the people are organ
izing for protection against raids,
and that a considerable number of
horses and cattle have already been
run off. There are about fifty Sho-
shones in Marsh Basin who say they
left the reservation in eonse-
quence Of threats made against
them by the Bannocks. It was ru-
mored that the Utes were to COOP
crate with the Bannocks in hostili-
ties. Colonel Wood is captain of
of volunteers recently or
ganized in the Basin. Companies
are also being formed at Cassia
creek, and the Governor has been
asked to send 200 stands of arms
there; also to Raft river and Rock
creek. There has been considerable
alarm felt in that section, but it has
subsided some since the
prompt action recently taken by the
officer at Fort Hall in
placing. some half hundred of the
unruly Bannocks under arrest.
TIE DISTRICT CoUgT now in session
has q salutary effect upon the morals
of portion of our community. Be-
fore the court convened. in certain los
calities the sound of concert pianos and
cracked fiddles smote the ear from early
evening till long past midnight; there
was sound of revelry by night" on
every corner, and "hurrying to and
fro" of parties bent on pleasure or mis-
chief. Now all this is changed. The
localities once so lively wear a subdued
air; no more is heard the silvery notes
of instruments, but all is dark and des-
olate. Thus at each recurring session
of the court law and order takes the
place of crime and Iicentiousness and
for the time peace and security reign
supreme. This blessed state, however,
will be of short duration. and in few
days more the old scenes Of riot and
debauch will be re-enactsd as vigor>
ously as ever.

ternoon three persons were admitted
