time editor Of "World's Crisis Of Boston,
having, as he remarked, had special call from
God last evening to preach at this time, pro-
ceeded to obey the call by preaching one of
the most earnest and "square-sdged" discourses
that we ever listened to, upon the very import
ant subject of Specific Readiness taking as
his text Matt. XIV, 1O-"And while they went
to buy the bridegroom came; and they that
were ready went in with him to the marriage;
and the door was shut,"-to which any mere
outline would fail to do credit He held the
closest attention of the entire congregation,
which was large, from first to last and un-
doubtedly the discourse was very effectual. If
the sincere earnestness with which he handled
the subject is any criterion to judge by, the
call was certainly from God, and realized and
acceptably obeyed by the preacher.

The following appeared in the Kennebec
Journal yesterday:-
1 notice in the New Era of this date, a chal-
lenge from Mr.. E. Palmer of Cambridge, Me-,
and lose not moment in saying, ny appoint
ments are made for every day, up to and in
Guiding Friday, Aug. 80, as Published in your
daily paper. If Mr.. Palmer desires public
discussion, am confident he can be accommo-
dated nearer home, for 1 have not the slightest
doubt but that Mr. Buker or Mr.. Hurd of St.
Adams, will allow me to detail either of them,
and either will give him all that he will relish.
Nevertheless, if Mr.. Palmer really wants to
meet me in debate upon the financial issue now
being discussed politically, if he will appear at
any meeting announced, where am to speak,
during the next ten days, he shall have half of
my time, the debate to be conducted under the
rules governing joint discussion, (he the chal-
longing party.
Still more, in order to be accommodating, it
is immaterial to me, whether it be Mr.. Palmer
or any other Greenbacker, come from where he
may.

which any government of the world ever enjoy

THE COUNTY NE VS..
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.
WINDSOR.

Eds. TeL.-As your Windsor correspond
ent has been very reticent of late, l will
undertake to give your readers an account
of what seems to me remarkable case of
dissatisfied with the location of one of our
public highways, thinking it was not made
on the original survey and knowing that
there was a crook or angle, took the mat
ter in hand, had a committee appointed,
who with the assistance of our efficient
surveyor, proceeded to re-establish the road.
After one day spent looking for ancient
boundriss and land marks, the matter came
to the knowledge of Solomon Morgan,
Esq, who said he could point out one COL
ner that they had thus far failed to find.
The next morning he met the Committee
and went with them to the spot, and placed
his cane on the road and tolu them that
his father and the father of one of the in
terssted parties fixed that as a corner, six
ty years ago the present spring. He also
described accurately, a stone that they
marked and buried there, and told them
to dig and they would find it. Coats came
off and the work began. They were soon re-
warded by finding, some three feet below
the surface, that old land mark, which
proved to be a satisfactory peacemaker,
and at once all parties concerned immedi-
ately readopted it as the corner and the
controversy wisely ended.
Esq. Morgan at the time the stone was
placed, was boy of twelve years old. He
has lived to see two generations pass away,
and yet retains in a remarkable degree, the
strength of his mental faculties unim-
paired. His eyesight and hearing are
much impaired, but his mind is as strong
as when he took an active part in matters
of public and private interest, and did
so much to change the unbroken forest
into the pleasant fields and bright homes
that now help to make this part Of be-
nighted Ashtabula. S. s.. S.
