principal cause Of the increase Of insect life is

EDS. CHRONICLE:
This city is known as the "Hoosier City'' o.
Stock Rancho" 1t has about 5000 inhabI
tants, who are very plain in their way Of living
and they are aptly named "Hoosiers,, so far a.
appearance goes. It is great curiosity to those
unaccusiomed to the sight, to watch the con.
slant moving Of stock through the streets of the
city, on its way to Eastern markets. From five
to six thousand hogs and about the same num-
Der of cattle are driven through every day. Of
ten, pedestrians have to take the middle of the
street, on account of hogs laying on the side
walks. The land appears to be rich, undulating
and well set with white clover. Corn is worth
S5 to 40 cents per bushel; wheat 50 to s. cents
per bushel; oats 20 cents. Timothy hay is SELL
ing for five and six dollars per ton, and drug
in the market at that price. The people are
very free in speech, ard favor free govern
ment for free people. They would just as soon
have Bob Ingersol address them, and have Just
as much respect for him, as Judge Comegys, the
Delaware justice.

are in great demand, and whenever it is known

wood and earth necessary to build a crossing at
the upper end of Lake Gerar, aud $500 in cash, |

Suggested Abolition Of Sermons.
tr,o,, tho St Jo,noa Gazotte

At the meeting of the Congregational
union, yesterday, the Rev. W. E. Hurn-
dali, OF Bow, read paper on the use
by the churches of means not OF a dis
tinctively religious character for the
promotion of the moral and social well
fare of the people. He said that the
theater and music-hal could attract and
so could the church if it provided prop
er food. He ridiculed goody-goody
tracts and dull, lifeless sermons re-
marking that the services should be
bright and cheerful. Would he added,
amid much laughter, that sermons were
altogether abolished. What q great
mercy it would be to those who had to
compose them. What an even greater
mercy for those who have to listen to
them. What had Kept the people from
the sanctuaries? Sermons and few
other things. One cause of the pro-
gress of the Salvation army was that it
preached no sermons. Sermons were
unscriptural. The sermon on the mount
was not sermon, and would have been
condemned by any college professor al
grossly out of sermonic form.
