Mis- knte FieId,s Lroturs.

The lecture of Miss Kate Field at the
Church of Our Father, corner Thirteenth
and L streets. on Thursday evening next,
promises to be most interesting event.
Upon the subject of Mormonism Miss
Field is thoroughly posted having spent
nearly eighteen months among the
Latter Day Saints, and some OF her dis.
closures anent the community of interest
that has grown up in Utah between Nor
mons and Gentiles are startling evidences
Of the energy that has been displayed in
behalf of polygamy. Miss Field claims
that she is prepared to furnish either of
the great political parties with an issue
more vital 10 the national welfare than
the tariff and more potential than was
slavery for building up tho party that

Breaking Colts.

The breaking of colts is very sPpro-
pirate work for winter. Colts that have
made q good growth are quite fit tho win
ter before they are two years old for their
first lessons in training and driving. 1t
in no way interferes with or retards the
growth OF colts to train them regularly the
winter before they are two years old.
The task of training any colt, If properly
managed, is necessarily lengthy one.
1t is Zine upon line and precept upon
precept." Lessons must be frequently
repeated. Repeated time after time, In
order to make sure that the colt is learn
ing; repeated time after time, even after
having been learned, to make sure that
the colt has not forgotten. There is this
advantage in training colts in winter,
the roads are apt to be superior to sum-
mer roads for this purpose. or course as
young colts cannot be shod, they should
not be taken out on glare ice. When
tho roads are we'll broken, and no glare
ice, colts learn very rapidly to keep in
the track, thus rendering the trainers
task q much easier one. IL is sensible
precaution to always hitch the colt with
good travelling, old horse. 1t is apt to
insure the colt acquiring the same gait
After the colt has been driven a few
times, 80 that il seems to know what is
required of it, then it should be driven
every day, and each lesson in starting,
backing, turning to the right or left, &C.,
should be frequently repeated.

was the scene of very impre ssiye COM
munion service yesterday afternoon, at
which twenty-seven additions were made
TO the church, twenty-five by profession
of faith, and two by certificate. This is
the largest ingathering of tho church for
years. and is the partial result of one of
the most searching seasons of revival ever
enjoyed in its history. Quite large
number of these additions were from the
Sabbath school-brothers and sisters COM
ing in together. In one or two instances
almost entire families were included in
the number above stated. The Fourth
Presbyterian Church is one of tho oldest
of that denomination in the city, and the
congregation is feeling much encouraged
