This church union is notable also from it's action in plac- ing itself in connection with the national council of the Congregational churches of the United States.
 During the sinking of large pits and wells in Nevada strata of rock salt were cut through in which were found perfectly preserved fish, which are doubtless thousands of years old, as the salt field occupied what was once the bottom of large lake,, and no such fish are found now in the lakes of Nevada The speci- mems are rot petrifed, but flesh, and all are preserved in perfect form, and after being soaked in water for two or three days can be cooked and eaten, but are not very palata- ble. After being exposed to the air and sun for day or two they become as hard as wood.
 Congressman Charles T. O'Ferrall, of Vir- ginia, who tells us in his autobiographieal sketch in the Congressional Directory that he ''enlisted in the cavalry service of the Con- federate States as private, passed through all the grades of sergeant to colonel, and at the surrender of Lee was in command of all the Confederate cavalry in the Shenandoah valley" announces that Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation only with doubt and hesitaney. The Charleston, s. O., News and Courier goes still further. It says that Abraham Lincoln was only the unwilling agent in an illusory emancipation, his part in the matter, and that, if they want to erect statue to anybody, they should se- lect Jefferson Davis rather than Ar. Lincoln for that honor.

SPRING DRESS.

About this time of the year every man and boy begins to think and to plan about the renewal of suit and outside garments. All take note of dress and vie with each other, not in cost, but in neatness, substan- tial quality and general adaptability. Price is an important consideration, but cheap goods, at any price, are stunned. But do not confound low-priced goods with cheap goods. We sell at the lowest price possible, whatever the value, but we sell nothing without considering the future patronage of the buyer.

Manchester. Wilder's mounted infantry had
taken possession Of the town in the early
morning Of that day BY evening Thomas

The campaign had opened successfully. SO

generalship in the regular army at that time,
and in his duplicate letter Hallccli offered
this place to either Grant or Rosccrans,

by the two generals was characteristic of

At the same time with the advance move

before all TO deceive Bragg as to the real
route taken. To this end Ro,ccrans divided
his army. Crittcnden's corps made an adj
vance eastward on Chattanooga through the
Sequatchie valley. Two Of Crittendens
brgades, Iia2cn's ard Wagner's, had indeed
taken the eastward march directly over tho

dens, can be traced on the map.
