FRIEND T1SGMoNs In as much az the
Pemberyille controversy has subsidized, and
the mists have at last cleared away, !
shall again endeavor to inform your read
ers of how local transactions wage in and
around this place, To take things in their
regular order as they occurred, makes il
necessary to say that Revs. Williamson and
Black, OF the United Presby byterian persua-
sion, who were sent TO this place by the
Presbytery, held Il series of meetings in the
interest of the congregation in this place,
and labored earnestly for nearly two weeks
prior to Christmas. The result was that
43 persons were converted to Christ and
wero admitted TO membership in the
Church. 1t is thought by many that this
grand achievement is partly the result Of
the labors of their departed pastor, Rev. j.
G. Murch, whom it will be remembered
raised this congregation from the slough
OF despond into which it had been plunged
by the soaring influence OF former pastor.
Much might be SAID in regard to the good
work wraught in this place, but limited
space and haste iorbids
Robt. Bates has again been so unfortu.
nate as to become dangerously insane.
1t may be remembered by some of the con
stant readers OF the JOURNAL that mention
was made last winter in the JOURNAL, to
the effect that Robert was consigned to the
| Asylum at Columbus where he remained

apparently sane. On Wednesday The oath
ult., Mr.. B. was again seized with a fit OF
insanity from which it is feared he will
never again recover. His ACTORS are of a
most dangerous character. For instance,
on Saturday night he feIgned a pretense to
go TO the well for pail OF water and hav.
ing on no coat, vest, boots or hat, his at
tendents apprehcnded no immediate dan
ger, and paid no heed TO the affair for a
short time, but finally when they went out
to look for him found that he skipped.
| BY means OF the snow they were enabled
to track him through fields and woods,
across the river for about a mile and a
half TO where they caught up with him and
took him back homo. am informed that
he will be taken TO the Asylum to-day.
Tis done the great transaction is done

has for n long time been playing smash
with the hearts OF good many of We
gallant youth and blushing misses of this
place, and true TO the prediction of your
correspondent, Hymen, with his lussoo,
