Special Correspondence ofthe Republican.
About every third person one meet
on the street is suffering with cold
owing to the sudden changes Of the
weather, and smiling and sneezing Ii
not the exception but the rule. tot
keep up with the fashion by blowing
my horn as loud as the loudest. This
is no false impression, but q vsritable
fact, as my goneness all over bears evi
denoe TO.
The mild weather of the past few
days has instigated the farmers Of our
neighborhood to look after the condi'
tion Of their ploughs, and ere long we
may expect to hear the plowman's
CHEEKY song, as he turns the rich fur
rows to receive the seed. for another
crop. II some of our farmers would be
wise, and try crop of beets they
would make more money from 1t than
anything they could put in the ground,
provided the crop was equally well at
tended to that other crops receive at
their hands. 1t Is certainly worth the
venture at all events, as all the beets
they can raise will be taken at pro-
itable price by the beet sugar company.
Ia speaking last week OF the gratui-
tous carpenter work being done at the
Episcopal Church, inadvertently ne
elected to mention the name of Mr..
VIM. Mullin in connection with that OF
Mr.. Lewis Evans. Both of these gen.
tlemen are properly appreciated by the
membership, and they have their
heart felt thanks for the skillful man
ner in which they have performed their
work. They Lave "cast their bread
upon the waters, and it will return af.
ter many days. 1t always pays to work
for the Lord. Services are regularly
continued every day in this church, and
grow in interest and solemnity.
The protracted meeting which has
been in progress for a week or two in
the NJ. L. Church is bringing forth
good fruit. Many have been convicted,
several converted, and on Sunday
morning they came before the church
seeking fellowship with the people Of
God, and with the household Of faith, and
according to the rules were put on
probation. Rev. Mr.. Prics on this oc
casion, preached sound, practical ser
mon from the 9Th chapter and goth
verse of James, which all might profit
by if they gave that attention to his re-.
marks they should have done. The
Rev. gentleman gave no encourage
ment to those professed christians
who ars constantly sitting in judgment
IN the short comings of their weak
brothers; they should rather, he said,
aid them to keep the faith, save a soul
rom death, and thus hide a multitude
If sins. There is work for every mem
Der of the church to do; it is as much
,he work Of every individual member

he error Of his way as it is for the
Minister to preach the gospel, although
he Rev. gentleman said that he at all
lines feels that he must be burdened
ny this work as well as the membur
ship.
1t certainly is very gratifying to Mr.
Price--now that he will shortly labor
n other fields--to see that his plead.
ng to the lost sinners have not been in
vain, as is attested by those who are
seeking admission to church fellowship.
Wherever Mr.. Price is called to labor,
le will carry with him the best wishes

ruths he has impressed upon their
hitherto clouded minds, and apprecia-
ed, because he boldly proclaimed
