The Evangelists have opened their annu-
al protracted meeting in WeIssport. Thus
far there have been no converts, but prospects
are bright with a large demand,
judging from the appearance of those
who assisted Sheriff Koons in getting his lug
gage to the county seat there must necessari-
ly have been an abundant low of something
more yirtuQus than Adams ale,
Under the able supervision Of F, p. Fem
ner, schsol No. is in we'll organized and
very flOurishing condition. The number Of
pupils has been increased and there is every
reason to believe that everybody is 5ttlsfed
with the new principal.
Mud has never been more plenty in this
vicinity than 1t Present. The walks are in
very poor condition.
--Garcelon's kick up in Maine Is about the
only topic of discussion in this place. The su-
preme courts decision makes the fact very
obvious that the Governor acted Hery uu-
wisely in granting Fusionists certificates OF
election.
The inconsistency Of the opinion that II
Grant should again be elected President, this
country would become an Empire, is decidedly
complete; and yet minority persist in say
ing that such would be IN inevitable result.
The Weissport Uornet Band favored Le
