The Governors NIcssnxe.

Governor Andrews delivered his first message to the General Assembly in ioi,t convention last Thursday. It is we'll spoken of bv the press of all part,es. 1t shows the influence upon the intellectual faculties of the clear pure air of the Litch- field hills,-it IS clear and to the point. with no waste of words, and demonstrates that good lawyer can make a good gov ernor. We cannot lay it entire be .ore our readers, but will endeavor to give a sum- mary Of its chief top,cs.
 The governor accepts the Bee 10 which he has been elected, with profound grati> tude and deep sense of it's respo nsibili- ties and eongratulates the Ge neral Assein@ bly on the completion of the new Capitol, and hopes that they will bs distingulshed not only for being the first to take full DOS. session sof it, but withal for some improve- ment, either in the method of enact,ue laws. or Tn the laws themselves, or in the procedure by which the laws are admSnis- tered, He then refers to resumption of specie payments and says that in the pres- ent condition of the country it can have but one effect, aud that beneficial one, and that this state with its large uauHfac1 turing and commercial interests has special cause for rejoicing m the prospect of ulti~ mate relief from the financial embarrass> ments of the past, He next refers to the joint rules of the legislature in regard to expressing and perfecting bills. and to the provisional adjournment of the legislature at the end of the session, to enable tae Governor to examine the bills submitted to hin. which was first pracuoed last winter upon the recommendation of Governor Hubbard. He thinks thls a wise course and ought to be followed in the future.

The sunday Sermons.
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.


 A missionary sermon was preached in the M, E Church from Mark xvi, l5-"Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature"
 Alter brief introduction the speaker re- ferred to the yivifying. purifying influences Of tEe gospel of Christ upon the world, it. ustrating the thought by showing the differ ence between those nations that have had gospel light and influence and those that have not. and proving by the contrast that the charge so often made by the enemies of Christianity-that the gospel is failure, and that the world instead of becoming be,- ter is growing worse and worse under it's in. nuence, IS erroneous. The speaker then showed the duty of Christians to contribute according to their means to this enterprise. Several objections 10 giving were then re- tered to. and closing appeal was made to all to see that their responsibility in ,his matter be faithfully met.
 The evening sermon was from John, xii l7-''1t ye know these things happy are ye if ye do them." The sermon was brief on account of the indisposition of the pastor. The design of the sermon was to show the importance of obedience tO God's con- mands.
 AT THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
 An appeal was made in behalf ot Doane College at Crete, Nebraska. 1L wns also the time for general collection for Home Mis- slons. It seems difficult to realize tha, Ne oraska would make sixteen states ot the slze of Connecticut. Ot twenty states and ter, ritoriea west of the Mississippi only two. Iowa and Arkansas, are as small as New England.-The total would make thirty New Englands. There are 1948 different towns where graduates of Western colleges have laborcd as home missionaries. Of S3 colleges at thu West the ConRregationalisls have but seven. Mir. Gladstone says ..The census ot 1880 will show the Cuited States to be the wealthiest of nations. The dauph. ter, whether tairer or less far, will be stronger tban the mother" Joseph Cook referring to our political difficulties. says, ''Iherc are three great means ot safety {: they are the prevention of an unemployed c ass, and of an ignorant class. and of an unprincipled class: in r'public neither of these classes can be allowed to exist with safety" Endorsing and helping colleges is | laying the foundations of many gener- atiOns.
 AT CHRIST CHURCH.
 Last Suncsy was the first in thr seuson of ! Epiphany which commemoraies the msni- festation ot Christ to the Gentiles. The ser mon was based on Gentsls, i, 3-''And God said. Let there be light and there was ligh." Tue preacher first explained in de tail the description o1 the creation of light and the sun as gwen in the book Genesis, and showed the importance Gf light as the first step in the process of bringing order out of chaos.
 The second part of the sermon dealt with the light of the new creation, showing that Christ is ''The true Light which lieihrth ev. cry man that cometh into the world" The conclusion urged upon those present the duty of walking as children of light. '.Let your light SO shine before men, that they may See your good works, and glvrify your Father which is iG heaven.

A Rich City.

Frankfort -on-the-M Main, now containing
a population Of about 100, 600, is reputed to
be the richest city OF its size in the whole
world. !. its wealth were equally divided
among its inhabitants, every man, woman,
and child would have, it is said, 10000
marks, or some S., 900, apiece. There are,
as may be supposed, a good many very poor
people in town /; but the citizens are, as a
whole, in unusually comfortable circum-
stances, more SO, probably, than the citi-
zens Of any other Capital in Germany or
Europe. 1t is asserted that there are 100
Frankforters worth from 81, 0G0, 900 to S.
900, 900 each, and $50 who are worth ST.
060, 900 and upward. The city is one of the
great banking centers of the globe. Its
aggregate banking capital is estimated at
$500, 000, 900, more than one-fourth of
which the famous Rothschilds, whose
original and parent house is there, own
and control. The annual transactions in
bills of exchange are in excess of $780,
000, 900. Its general trade and manufactur
ing industries have increased since the
formation of the German Empire, to which
Frankfort was originally averse, being a
free city and an opponent to Prussia until
coerced, in July, 1866, by Gen. Won Falk-
e~nstein, who entered it at the head Of an
army and imposed a fine of 81 ,000, 900 forms
for its characterization. Frankfort is such
a place for convention and assemblies Of
all sorts that it is very apt to be full of
strangers, and is consequently very expen-
sive, and by no means satisfactory to tarry
