Comrade William II. Relyea, New Britain,

that place six months ago was languishing and
had scarcely fifty members, at which figure it
had stood for a long time Now, however, all
this is changed. A fresh enthusiasm has sprung
up. There are over 100 On the rolls and the

Henry Ward Beecller.

We clip the following handsome notice of
Mr. Beecher's late lecture from the San An
tonic Express. We are tho more pleased to
do SO because it shows remarkable ''change
of heart" on the part of that paper, which
not long since unjustly deprecated Mr.
Beecher The fact may be set down to the
influence of the great mans personal pres
ence and influence:
'sIt was SO much surprise and SO very
delightful surprise to have the great preach
or of Plymouth church here among us Tues
day night, there was 30 much outside of the
merits of his performance to feel ourselves
honoIed in, that the completeness OF the
whole affair, the reception, the greeting, the
packed assembly, the demonstrations OF
welcome, were profound qualification to
our people, who viii be found on this and,

Through all the stages of his subject, into
which he deviate as the artistic dancer

straint. 1t is one of the privileges of

Ep1ron FREE PRIss: The great fair is
upon us. II lis estimated and it is pl oven 10y
figures obtained ut the different steamboat
and railroad offices, that twenty-five thou-
sand visitors entered the city on Wednesday
aud the cry is ''still they come" The big
Thursday" which was yesterday, met with
sad disaster, the rain which had not fallen
for months, came down in sheets the whole
day, throwing everything into confusion,
and lessened the attendance to the fair
grounds at least sixty thousand. To-day
the sun is shining out brightly End throngs
are hastening to make up for lost time.
The "Yeiled Prophet" procession of Tues
day night was very brilliant and was wit
messed, it was said, by the greatest multitude
ever assembled in the city of st. Louis.
The scene for miles along 4th Street, and
Broadway battles description. Immense
fireworks and arches of fire spanned the
prominent streets on the line of the Proph-
cts march. A network of gas jets blazed
tne WnOle VI DIoutNEtyp va 'N''
Olive Street, and Washington Avenue. To-
might the much talked of Trades Procession,
will take place and grand sight it will be.
Many Texans are in the city and are being
heartily welcomed and cordially entertained
A large force of police and details of
special officers are patroling the thorough
fares and public places to detect and arrest
the crowd of pickpockets and confidence
men who come here from Chicago and 9th
er more Eastern cities to ply their vicious
calling.
Unfortunately much crime prevails IN the
questionable neghborhoods of the city.
Drunkenness, robbery, aifrays and murder
keep the patrol wagons and staff of city sur
geons on the jump Of course the trouble
is with the native hoodlum element of tho
city, who take advantage of the big crowd
and confusion to do their internal work.

kinds developed and increased in the ear
lier days of newspapers, and the demands
of advertisers for space began to trench
on the domain of the reading public, pub
fishers from time to time enlarged their
old fashioned folio or four page sheets till
they became like blankets in size, and
as unmanageable as circus bill in the
hands of the reader. Those great sheets
were so inconvenient that in course Of
time the adoption of the quarto or eight
page form became amatter of necessity, in
order that space and convenience, the
rights of advertisers and readers, might
bear due relation to each other. But
with the general reader the bother" cf
opening a quarto sheet and refolding 1t,
or of stitching the paper and cutting the
leaves in order to get at the inside pages,
has been so much of difficulty or per
plexity as to be in a large measure bar
to the reading of the inside of newspa-
per in this form. SO great has been the
prejudice on this score against the quarto
form that many papers have clung to the
old folio blanket sheet as involving fewer
disadvantages than the quarto. The in

recently been put into this office. 1t not

the single matter of folding, but simulta-
neously with the folding it does what it
would be utterly impracticable to under
take to do by hand, pastes the sheets and
cuts the edges. The two machines together

rivaled in this state for the expeditions
