Poi.i..- and TemperaHcc.-Thc issues In the
coming election are being much discussed, among
the mos, rominent being the local option question
and the rcasonablensss Of giving the people the
right to vote upon Il Is being foTeiby presented.
This question having the sanction Of our best
citizens ought not require such campaign as the
Temperance Alliance has undertaken. This, how
ever. was made necessary because Of the non con-
plianec of the Democratic nominees for the Legis-
laturc and the Disagreement In the Republican
ranks. II was thought strange that the Demo-
cratic nominees should ask their Executive Com
mittee 20 decide this important matter for them,
and prominent Democrats Of this district were Of
opinion that the nominees should have favored
the request Of the Alliance. IL 10 unfortunate
that there is lewiston In the Republican ranks
on this subject. The opinion prevails that there
should be agreement at least ~ 10 the iegisla-
tive nominees, and 10 do this party sprit and per-
sonal feeling ought 70 be laid aside.
An Afflicted Family.-Mr. Nelson r. Miles,
wife, son and daughter-Mrs. Pearcs RlehardsOn
have lately been terribly afflicted. Mr.. NJ. has
been confined for ten weeks and Is only able TO
walk about the house. His wife and son are still
bed-fast but are improving, and his daughter has
been III with pneumonia aud malaria. Her con-
dition IL now somewhat improved. They have
the sympathy Of many friends In their afflietion.
Raia.-During the past week We have been
visited with eopious rains, causing the grain 10
advance rapidly, aud the earliest sown now makes
fine appearance. Corn in shocks where u lying
down, land much OF Il IL In this eondition) will be
damaged greatly by the continued wet weather,
and Il viii be the same with fodder. The good
weather was taken advantage Of BY some and
much corn and fodder were secured.
CiHb Meeting. Senior 0unpowder Agricul-
tural Club met at Mr.. d. Gorsueh's on Saturday
evening last. An inspection Of the premises found
everything In good order, Mr.. q. being noted for
his care in such matters. The principal question
for discussion was the inexhaustibe one Of ma
nure. its making and application. few years
ago Mr.. 0orsuch gave mp the milk business and.
sold much Of his stock. lie now talks Of still re-
dueing 90 TO pasture but little thereby improv-
ing his land BY aftermath, &c. His farm Is In
high state of cultivation and is kept 90 without
the use Of lime.
Diri.ioH Of Hsreisrd Cire~i.--Tbc proposed
division Of Hereford Circuit, N. =. church. Of
which ] have heretofore spoken, 10 as follows:
Hereford, Nj. Carmel. Dover and Gorsush Hall
third. Monkton, Wesley Chapel. Ciynmalara aud
Warren, each to be provided vi b married min
lister. Already there 10 much opposition TO the
change. especially among the older members.
The territory Of the Circuit IL 20 large 90 pre-
vent proper pastoral work, and Il is thought that
where this could be done efficiently the hhan-
ciai sources would improve rs TO provide for
three ministers. The lack of means TO properly
provide for this number IL objection Could
this be met the division would be an advantage
in many ways. By q change burden would rect
on the congregations Of Jessop's and DOsley's
churches in obtaining parsonage. We're u not
for this the people would favor IL and both churches
would be greatly benefited. The whole subject
will be well considered and wisely acted upon at
the proper time. The present ministerial allow.
ance IL ~ ,s0o-s9no for each minister.
