The Centennial Jubilee Singers gave a
concert in the Methodist Church Monday
night, with large audience. Probably
no one went to hear them with positive
expectation Of being well pleased, for it
was doubted that they were the jubilee
singers. All who were present will not
need any urging TO hear them again. A
comparison can hardly be made with the
Tennesseeans, SO well known here, for the
plantation songs and manners are new.
The spirit Of the slave times is kept and
the rich humor Of the race runs through
all. The powerful bass Of Mr.. Jenkins is
often used with comic effect. The con-
cert will be repeated Saturday night in
the same place.
Rev. Mr.. Conkle, OF st. Clairsville, will
preach Saturday evening in the basement
Of the N. Z. Church, at half.past six, SO as
to get through by time for the concert
upstairs. Sunday will be the quarterly
meeting.

He was backing across the bridge over the

Reply to "a Minister In His Right
Place..

You say that your reply to my article
was longer than the matter warrants. You
are right. Let us, therefore, know pub
licly the aim and object Of your petition,
and II we find ourselves guilty Of misde-
meanor by having misjudged and misrep-
resented your movement we will most
certainly beg your pardon. AT the begin
ming OF the Law and Order movement
everything was wanted by your society
(but perhaps the papers gave an incorrect
account OF your meeting, particularly OF
your committee report. Bands had been
playing for excursions on Sunday and the
noise created by the newsboys, crying
their papers at the top OF their voices,
greatly marred the sacredness OF the Sab
bath, &C., &c. like to see body OF men
ministers or no ministers) adhere 10 their
original assertion, such az would at least
show manly principles. A person or per-
sons should make their intentions clearly
understood, and not come at matter in q
roundabout way. How do your sieneB
know and comprehend the true inward.
ness OF your petition, Ii your committee
has as yet not made clear statement OF
the laws that you desire Council to adopt?
II appears TO our limited vision that the
Law and Orders have become, after ascer-
taing public icsentiment, so liberal that they
do not want any reforms whatever; they
have furthermore become SO ponGedlng

liberal observance OF the Sabbath, would

presence being Imposed upon him for tho
purpose OF obtaining his vote and sym.

with the information desired aud no hard

In the dark and not knowing your mo-
dives. We will then he able TO judge
whether both parties were not making a
mountain out Of q mole hill, Our belief
was, prior 10 the Law and Order move

and followers Of Christ, bearing in mind
His saying; "My kingdom Is not Of this

A telegram bearing date Santa Fe., N.
NJ, January %, was received by the Adju.
tant General to-day, stating that Major
Morrow, who is pursuing victoria's band
Of Apaches, was forced to go into ojo Cal
iente from the San Mates mountains for
rations. The command had been in the
mountains without rations for two days,
and were fighting daily. In the last two
days fight, Major Morrow captured one
hundred horses and mules. The Indians
abandoned large quantities Of property
stolen in Mexico, bolts OF calico, cotton
cloth, etc. ia sF
Major Morrow is reported as having
punished the Indians severely. 1t Is
thought, judging from the number. that
the band is all composed OF Indians who
have been living in Mexico. The noun
tains are spoken OF as being very rough.
The loss Of thetnops occasioned by horses
becoming disabled has proven 10 be quite
severe.
