Having personally inspected each quarter
section OF our II 600 acre tract on the east line
of Lyon county, between the A, T. & 5. F.
and the NJ. X. q t. railroads, and made full
plats and descriptions of the same, we are
now ready to ansu er all inquiries in regard
to this immense tract of unimploved land,
soon to become dotted with thriving prairie
homes. This tract is mostly good high roll
ing prairie, with stock water on q number of
sections, coal on some, and is mostly good,
tillable, productive soil, with cheap fuel,
plenty of building stone, near to markets and
railroad stations, with ample range for stock,

sas City. 1t il offered atlDoth cash and time
prices. from "A to 50 per acre, and is admira-
bly, situated for colony purposes. or for old
friends coming west to choose localities near
each other. Plenty Of good coal at to 10
cents per bushel solves the fuel question on
this tract.
This is portion of the old Sac and Fox
Indian reservation, and is 4 part of the lands
now belonging to the Reading Iron Works.
OF Pennsylvania, and formerly known as the
MeManus lands-on which land some of the
best and most highly improved stock and
grain farms in this county are now located.

The PnbIIc SCHOOLS.

The city schools engage fifteen teach
ers besides the superintendent There
are $50 scholars enrolled, giving to each
teacher about 81 pupils. On account of
the popularity of the rooms some teach
ers have more, others less. Every seat
in the department is occupied, and still
they come. The actual accommodations
belonging to the city, are the same that
were provided ten years ago. Then the
census gave about 700 of school age,
now, we have by the last census ,494 of
school age. At present there are about
100 between the ages of five and seven
years who are excluded from school on
account of room. There are 40 pupils
in the primary, who can at present have
only half day sessions. The board have
sent for more seats, which Will remedy
the half day sessions. With few excep-
tions the pupils are interested in their
work. The patrons should give as much
encouragement TO the teacher as possible,
for there is not a more faithful, perse-
vering, efficient and may add, success
full, corps of teachers in the state. The
children are thinking about "A bell for
tie new school house. To help raise
funds for the bell, the high school, as
sisted by such talent as they may be able
to secure, will present TO the public, at
the holidays, Santa Claus" Christmas

one, and one beyond the ability of the
brethren there, but there is good reason
to hope they will be generously aided
both in Virginia and at the North.
Brother Dobson promised to take up a
collection in his church in Chester, Pa,
for this enterprise, and if few others
would show like kindly interest in the
work the needed amount could readily
be raised. After having visited the field
four times, and studied it with some care,
can say with confidence that there is
most urgent demand for this undertak-
ing, and that there is now every indica-
ton of success. There are difficulties of
course, and possibilities of failure, but
nothing but the manifestation of reason
able degree of interest in the work on the
part of those who ought to take an interest
In it, is lacking to assure entire success
If there are those who mourn the slow
growth of our church in Eastern Virginia,
and who really wish to see advance made
in this direction, here is capital opening
for intelligent iberality to show itself
If we allow such an opportunity as this
to pass from us we deserve to fall behind
as Church. The Rev. DR.. George D.
Armstrong of Norfolk and the Rev, DR..
Moses d. Hoge, OF Richmond, have been
requested to receive contributions intend
ed for the Gloucester enterprise.
To this already lengthy letter L will
add one other statement. The young

has field embracing about one hun
dred square miles and has to walk a
great deal. That region is one in which
horses are very scarce. Is there not in
our Synod some generous man who has
horse he would like to devote to Gods
cause by presenting him to the Presby-
terry for the use of its missionary in Glou-
cester? If so let him inform DR.. T. D
Witherspoon of Petersburg, or myself.

Letter from Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23d. 1886


MeS8rs. EditorS,-I was exceedingly
interested in a communication to the G2n-
t2'GI Presbyterian of last week respecting
the State Fair, and more especially in the
remarks respecting Grape Culture IN Vlr-
gina. We have long thought that Vir-
ginia, even more thanf California, was
adapted to the cultivation of the grape,
and that if the drinking of wine instead
of more fiery stimulants became more
popular that the evils of intemperance
would be reduced to a minimum. There
is nothing in the climate of Virginia that
should lead its people naturally to use
heady intoxicants, and no doubt if milder
were supplied of satisfactory quality and
price, the masses of the people would ac-
cePt and use them, thereby decreasing in
vast proportion the injurious result now
witnessed. For this element of
Climate Plays a most Important part in
the Choice of a Nations Stimulant.
In every country the body of man is
rooted deep in the soil and takes shape
from his surroundings. If one goes to
Scotland he will hear them talking about
a " Scotch Misth, and getting caught in
one you will be apt to ask, off this is a
misth what can a rain be-" That mist
is almost perpetual. The vapor, like a
furnace smoke, crawls forever on the hori
zon, and the clouds are ever marshalling
themselves in the sky and turning their
fanks and growing black, and descend
ing in heavy showers. You dare not
cross the street without an umbrella, for
fear of drenching. 1t is a decidedly
humid country, and the humidity circu-
lates in man as well as plants-afecting
all his sensations and his frame. 1t is
not strange that in so humid and foggy a
land-with the German Ocean beating
forever against its rocky coast and COW
ering it with ceaseless exhalations-with
the terrible north wind coming over the
sea bearing spikes as of hoar frost in its
penetrating blast-in land of rain and
wind and surge and storm-that they do
not find oatmeal porridge enough to feed
vitality, but that in lieu of the most gen
erous food that should be theirs, they use
not beer, not wine, but brandy, pure and
straight, among all classes, men and
women, ministers and laymen,
1t would be an interesting study TO
trace the influence climate has upon the
body-from the far northern climes where
the waste Of animal power is SO great that
to keep up the physical heat men add to
food and clothing the II, fierce and
fiery stimulants-down to sunny France
and the happy shores Of the Mediterra-
mean where the waste is not so great, and
from the days Of Horace until this hour
the mild Falernian wines and the less
exciting drinks are deemed sufficient. I
think it is demonstrable that climates
have vast influence upon the bodies of
men-that those who five in cold lands
or among marshes or on the shores of
Wild seas, who are ill-housed and ill-fed.
and ill-clothed by reason Of the poverty
OF nature, who gaze upon sombre skies
and are a prey to gloomy thoughts, crave
violent sensations and give way to drunk
enness as they do not in more congenial
climes.

The New Translation.

The Presbyterian says Intimations have
reeched us from which VIC CLEAN !. word
about passages often inquired about, rs to
whether they have been removed from or
left on the sacred page. The narrative of
our Lords treatment Of the woman taken
in adultery in the Gospel of John, VIC un-
derstand remains. The record of the de-
scent of the angel into the pool of Sloan
also remains. The dOxology in the Lord s
Prayer is removed, and if VIC read the new
translation we will have to stop at "de
liver us from evil" as it is now in the
Gospel of Luke. Verses 14-1S in the last
chapter of Mark, about which there has
long been doubt, remain. The 'threc that
bear record" we are under impression re.
main, though we would not speak definitely.
We regret the silence Of the committee.
We believe that it ha:; done harm. 1t
will injure the prospects Of the new trans
latiOn. If changes had been announced
the public would have put their vertlicts
upon them and this would have ended the
controversy, for it is not possible for any
translation to live in defiance of public
opinion, no matter how the scholarly may
decide. There is an inner sense that re-
jccts, not on account Of the " KaiGar' of
the critic, but from its OWN consciousness
and for reasons satisfactory to it.
sell. Communities may bc educated
to tho convictions of scholars al
last, but it will take half 4 dozen
translations to do it. There is always
doubt about secrecy, and it grows natur-
ally into distrust, and perhaps to convic-
tions of unfairncss. Besides all this, we
have had 4 constant assault on tie pre-
sent translation without any opportunity
given for defence. The advocates Of the
new translation have been firing broa.lsides
at our present Bible and We have had to
stand by with weapons of defence, fuse in
hand, witlr profound mystery and secrec,
to assail The now translation may he all
that could be desired, but the reserve So
closely maintained has been against it. and
when it appears all the batteries o.! the
country will be opened upon it.
