Speaking OF that faction, leads us to say
that Leo Miller was here fortnight ago.
He spoke his piece, and doubtless it
pleased the seven followers of fiatism pres
ent to hear him, but certainly made no new
converts TO his doctrines. We feel sure
that Greenbackism is losing ground here
aboutS, and that the Democratic army
not kept well in hand and under its own
lag-but hidden TO go into battle under
bastard banner, can never again be called
together, and brought, with great degree
of unity TO fight for itself as of yore.-
Many say that "Sir Isaac" cannot deliver"
all the Democrats over to the support of
Greenback nominees. All the political
changes in this section since last Septem-
Der we hear of are favorable to Republican
success. We hear great deal Of discus
sion, and many avowals made,-all show
ing that Greenbackism is waning. Re
sumption, extra session of Congress, inn
provemcnt in business, last winters LegiS-
laturc, study, reflection and desire TO do
right on the part of the masses,-all these
working ogether-haye had and are having
their influences-and cast down, whistle
past-thc- graveyard air is visible in the
Greenbackers, while in every Republican.
you see visible signs of that hopefulness,
certainty and faith always marking the APP
pearancc of one who knows he is fighting
winning fight. You shall have a better re-
port to chronicle after the September cleo
ton of 70 than you did after that of rs
That's the way we feel about it, that's
what the signs Indicate, Republicans be
licve it, Greenbackers fear it. II.

Friday evening was grand success.
Everybody went, and the boys gathered
over ten dollars for the new band. The

Some miSchievouS boys took the old
signs which were removed from the Post
Office building while the latter was being
painted, and decorated the village with
them on Friday night \ large white

On Wednesday evening, Prof Hewett OF

Holland, before the Congregational circle.
Prof. Hewett has recently returned from II
tour in Europe, and has devoted considera-
BILE attention to Holland and its people. He
has recently published a book touching
upon this subject The lecture was SO full
of information that it is impossible to
divide it and give an abstract report. At
ter the lecture, ice cream and other refresh
ments were served.
Tuesday evening, at about half past an
alarm of fire was rung, and the engine was
called out Investigation showed the corn
factory to be on fire. While soldering
cans, some fire was dropped into basket
of charcoal, unnoticed. During the eve
ming, the charcoal was ignited, and burn
ing, communicated fire to the adjoining
woodwork The fire was discovered and
extinguished before the engine arrived. As
the firemen were all out, they concluded to
try the engine, which has recently been
thoroughly overhauled. She played beauti-
fully. 1t was very fortunate that the fire
made no further progress, as there are
several wooden buildings in the immediate
vicinity; all near the large -four mill of d.
