The indulgence was natHral one at
his age, but either because he is old, or
weak, or unaccustomed to strong liquor,
the results at the subsequent service
have been extremely painful. Some
times he would lose his place and omit
part Of the Litauy, or he would give
out the wrong names Of the people to
be- married and the wrong collects. He
would repeat the Lords prayer twice at
the beginning Of the Sermon, and then
break down in the middle Of his dis
course and try to finish in q few con-
versaticnal remarks. He used to leave
the church for the vestry four or Eve
times during tae service, keeping the
congregation waiting, and when he re-
turned had to be told where he had
left of. These scenes had gone on since
laet Christmas, until at last many of
the choir and congregation have desert

" The effect" said one witness, " on

This Is especially significant, because It

Griffin Yeatman who formerly carried
on the smithing business in Christians
Hundred, and removed to the State ol
Nebraska some seven years ago, Is now
paying a visit to his friends in this
county. He Is engaged in farming, and
has under cultivation some AS acres,
his whole tract containing $50 acres .
The land is quite productive, and he
thinks that people make a great mis-.
take in continuing to labor in menial
occupations when so much good land
is unoccupied. He Is located about
i've miles from the town OF Hastings,
which now contains population OF
5000, although there was only one
house there seven years ago, and there
are good schools and churches of all
denominations, also three newspapers
and every evidence of continued growth.
Many of the houses now being crested
are brick, and the stores have fine glass
fronts and all seem prosperous. The
climate is salubrious, the winter little
colder than in Delaware, and the coun-
try is rapidly advancing in wealth and
population.
He certainly appears to be well salts
fed with his change from the position
Of country blacksmithing to an exten.
sivs landed proprietor, his tiocks hav-
ing increased, and the number Of his
children having advanced from three
to six, and some eighteen or twenty
pounds added to his own corporosity.
