Eds. Tel:-Much increased interest is
felt in the subject OF religion in this place.
Since the week of prayer more frequent
meetings have been held by both the Pres
byterian and Baptist churches. The Pas
tor of the NJ. E. Church for some two weeks
past has been with Bro. Pastor, at New
ton Falls, Trum5ull Co., where a series of
meetings are being held. Having returned
it is understood that he will help in turn
in carrying forward meetings here.
With the additions to the Baptist Church
we are left to infer that effectual, fervent
prayers are sent up to the Lord on Sabbath.
The Pastor of the Presbyterian church,
some two weeks since, conceived the idea
of extending an invitation to the Rev. Mr..
Avery, now of Cleveland, to come and la
Dor with him and the other pastors, as far
as might be agreeable. At this time Mr..
Avery was IN Geneva closing two or three
weeks labor in the Congregational church.
He was at once secured and his first ser
mon was preached on the morning of Sun
day the 10Th. Very many of the people of
the absent Methodist brother attended both
the services, and united heartily in the SER
vices ot the week following. Up to this
time Mr.. Avery has given us IA sermons,
all directed to the special wants of the
professor. With 40 years or more of re-
vival work, this evangelist seems to be
clothed with power in both mind and heart.
The fallow ground, he thinks, must be
fitted for the seed that it may not fall
among thorns. The meetings are to be
kept up this week, and probably next also.
Deep interest is awakened from the pre-
sentations of truth, and much good is prom
ised. The sermon of last Sabbath on
Goods perfect law" was listened to by a
crowded house. 1t was two hours ex-
temporaneous effort and its comprehensive
thoroughneSs and completeness, its strong
under current of spiritual influence was
enjoyed throughout.
We have on our mortality list, the past
few weeks the names of Minnie Nettleton.
Kate Curtis, Master Clinton Sabin, &c.,
who IN their youth gave So much promise
of usefulness and comfort to the world, and
at the decease of whom so much of general
sadness was felt. The public mind is now
occupied with the early probable decease
of Mrs. James A. Fickinger; all know her
as ida, ," the only daughter of Mr.. VIM.
Carr, of our village. Consumption sapped
her life, and all within the circle of her
acquaintance are stricken with sorrow, and
deep sympathy is felt for those who are
called to mourn the impending fate of one
so much beloved.
Mother earth is again a factor of the
landscape-emerging from her long OBJ
security by the recent rain and softened
weather. The hope is that the rough places
in the roads may be made smooth. Our
food experience of September last, will
not probably be repeated this time. C.

proaeh of person. Their treatment
should be such as that they will actual
" learn to entertain an affection for
their keeper, and if they do, they will
naturally be tame and docile. A flock
of wild sheep is about the most un-
profitable investment that afarmer can
make. They are continually getting
themselves into some trouble, and Csaus-
ing great annoyance, if not loss, to
their owner.
We have seen some fiockmen Jump
into a flock and pull and haul the sh eep
by the wool until the animals were not
only half frightened to death, but suf-
fered great injury otherwise. A 81 leep
should never be caught or lifted by the
wool. Some one has said that if ny
one doubts the impropriety of hftin 8 a
sheep by the wool, Just let him per nit
himself 10 be lifted by the hair, and it
is a good suggestion. When sheep ;Gre
thus caught or lifted, the skin in so me
instances is actually torn from the
flesh, and if the injury is not to that
extent it cannot but affect the flesh to
some degree.
A sheep should be lifted by placing
the arms around the pody anu near the
forelegs. This is the easiest way to do.
especially with large sheep. To catch
the animal, the hands should be thrown
about the neck, or else the sheep should
be caught by the hind leg Immediately
above the hook. This latter may DO
done with the hand or the crook, and
when this way is adopted the utmost
gentleness should be observed, and the
sheep gently drawn back until the other
hand can reach the neck. 1t is scarce
ly necessary to remind the keeper that
when the crook is used upon a sheep
which is closely surrounded by other
sheep, that great care must be exer-
cised lest the other sheep jump against
the one caught or against the crook, in
which case severe damage may be edOne-

to the difficulties of his ambitious at

ming over a golden girdle, wi ich, by
the adjustment of glowing topazes of
extreme smallness, and garnets equally
small, looks as though heated, which
would argue certain recklessness. to
say the least, on the part of the mice in
question. Still another pin has upon
it horrid little Deaths head, in white
points glow behind the hollow sockets
of the eyes, and, upon examination,
prove to be two lighted cigars of ruby.
This is of French design. A fourth pin
has a golden skeleton adjusted by invis-
ible wires, which jerks at every motion
of the wearer.
There IS Il certain fascination about
these weird pins that gives one an un-
accountable desire to possess them.

Motion for new trial filed by plaintiff
During the past week several jury causes
have been disposed of, amongst those the
case of Gary & Humphrey vs.. Thomas Hill
was for the collection of note claimed to
have been given for patent right TO one
McNett, and by him assigned TO the plain
tiffs. The defense set up was that the de-
fendant never signed the note, and that
the signature thereon was forgery, and
also that the patent right for which the
ncte WAS claimed to have been given was
worthless, and the note obtained by fraud,
of which fraud the plaintiffs were alleged
to have had notice. The trial was mainly
Oh the question of the forgery. The jury
found in favor, Of the plaintiffs for the full
amount claimed to be due on the note.
The case of Eldred vs.. Wilkinson being
for seduction and breach of promise of
marriage, attracted considerable attention,
as::was supposed to be one-of sensational
character. The plaintiff herself was placed
on the witness stand as the first witness,
and detailed the main facts. The chief
witness for the defence was the defendant,
and his testimony was chiefly denial of
the plaintiffs testimony in regard to the
promise of marriage, and the criminal in
tercourse and seduction. The cause for
the plaintiff was briefly argued by one of
the plaintiffs counsel, and the defendants
counsel offering to submit it to the jury
under the charge of the Court. Judge
Woodbury. then charged the jury in regard
to the law governing the case; after which
the jury retired, and in about 10 minutes
returned with verdict for the plaintiff of
$5, 900 damages.

Business for Ladies.

Our attention was called to a new arti-
Gle for the use Of ladies, the invention of
which has conferred an everlasting blessing
upon every lady. We refer to the Queen
City skirt suspenders for supporting ladies
skirts, the most desirable and beneficial
article eyer invented for the relief Of wO-
men, many of whom have suffered years Of
miserable health caused solely by carrying
the weight of number of heavy skirts,
completely dragging them down. Some
thing to support ladies' clothes is absolute
ly necessary. These suspenders are recon-
mended by our leading physicians to all
ladies and young girls. Every lady should
have them. They are sold only through
lady agents. A splendid opportunity is
offered to some reliable lady canvssser Of
