YaulHe Letter.

VANLUE, o., Dec, 10, '7S,
DEAR EDIToR-It has been several
weeks since our village has been repre-
sented in your paper. The correspon-
dents seem to be short lived. We are
all eager to read the Vanlue letters,
but.no one is eager to write them Oul
village remains quiet and orderly, but
it is full of life and energy. The ship
ment of hogs has been very heavy this
fall; but shippers claim they have no,
grown rich.
Our merchants have a good assort-
ment of goods. and they seem to be
doing good business. They are men
of integrity and good business qualifi-
cations and they deserve liberal pat
ronage.
Our Sabbath Schools are we'll at
tended and an increased interest il
manifested. Quite a number of the
old people, especially the ladies', are
interested in the s. 8. work, and show
their interest BY their presence in the
classes.
There will be an entertainment at
the Lutheran church on Christmas for
the members of the Uuion 8. 8 A
pleasant time is anticipated.
A protracted meeting is in progress
at the U. B. Church. The interest is
growing every day, and the prospects
are favorable for a revival of religion.
Under the impressive sermons of Rev.
Barlow. many of the dry bones are
shaken into renewed spiritual life.
The first Quarterly meeting was held
at the U. B. Church last Saturday aud
Sunday, Elder French presiding. His
discourse on Sabbath morning was
Faith, which was ably and forcibly
presented to a large and appreciative
audience. After preaching the Sacra
ment of the Lords Supper was admin
istered.
The winter session of our school
opened two weeks ago with a large at
tendance and increased interest. Al
though laboring under a great disad-
vantage on account Of too many grades
in each room, our school compares
favorably with others who have better
advantages. A large number of onr
young men and women are in attend
ance to prepare for teaching. Let us
hope that teachers and pupils will do
their whole duty AMI that success will
crown their efforts.

THE utter failure of the City oi
Glasgow Bank, has produced great
disaster and depression in England
which is just now eliminating. The
West OF England Bank, with forty-tuo
branches, has suspended, and its
branches must follow suit. Its liabili
ties are placed at 81, 800, 600, and its
assets are said to be fully equal, but
consisting of local bills, not negotiable
in London, the Bank Of England would
make no advances upon them. There
are 9, 600 shareholders and their liabiI-
ity is unlimited. Added to this is the
suspension of the Caledonian Bank, at
Inverness. 1t owned four shares ip
the Glasgow Bank, but as the holders
of stock are liable to the extent Of their
ability to pay, the bank concluded to
close. The financial condition of the
old world is bad indeed.

1T is estimated that the Mormons
have increased at the rate of 4, 600 per
year for the past ten years, snd that,
at the same ratio of increase, by 1890,
they will have a population Of 300, 900,
which in voting will be controlled by
the heads of the church. Their wealth
will increase in the same ratio, and be
at the disposal of the church. They
are looked upon as likely to prove
bane In politics when that time comes
round.

THE Chinese question of citizenship
will probably seek solution In the Q.
s. Court; California and Louisiana
Judges have decided against John, but
a York Judge has decided in Johns
favor. As the Democratic 'Ohic
Idea" of visible admixture,n has long
since become obsolete, we presume
Ohio Judges would stand with the
New York Judge. But the principle
should be settled by the highest auth.
ority or by law of Congress. Per
sonelly we can see no reasonable
objection to John; when the extreme
are admitted, all shades between should
certainly be included. Neither ''race,
color or previous condition" work any
disqualification.

BRKATHILT COUNTY, KY, is in q
state of insurrection and murder and
rspine are the order of the day. There
are two parties there headed by Ned
Strong and the Freemans, on the one
hand, and the Littles and the Aliens
on the other. There has been bitter

minated recently in a bloody fight in
which a number of the participants
were killed. The Governor has been
asked for troops to quell the trouble,
but as yet it continues, and no troops
have been sent.
