On April 4, 1854, appears the first action providing for the regular, weekly or Sabbath collection. This custom has also continued regularly until the present time. Again on May 16,1854, it was, determined to aid the missions which were being 'conducted by. Revs, Alex, Blidkie and Rftudall Roes, the former in Boston, .Mass,, and. the. latter,at Sharon,.

On Oct, 22,1849, the congregation. wa«tdivided iuto seven districts for the purpose of public catechizing dur* nig the then coming winter. The Shorter Catechism was also divided production for the tncutal .discipline which it gives and we need its teach­ ings for the heart and tor ■ practical ne life, especially if success in l:fe is to he viewed from the most exalted standpp nt, ' The session was not culled upon to lulihiuister discipline very often, and then generally on cases that showed zeal on the part of their prosecutors" for straight - laced Presbyterianism, Notably anmng the offenses were quar­ rels, profanity, intemperance and ‘■'tripping' the light fantastic toe.” The trial of these cases always termi* noted happily, in restoring peace, and in repentance and restoration to good Btundir j.

In fact, it was nearly knocked senseless.. This body was ns certain the Governor would make on appointment in their favor, they would have risked their lives on it«. \Ve.are informed that the Gov­ ernor has in bis. possession many let­ ters Irom Greene county’s leading cit­ izens and politicians, warning hint that to place a man from the “gang” would be as dangerous as to have al­ lowed the former*board to continue George Little will be fought from all sides by this cursed organization. Everything imaginable will be thrown in his 4way ns a trap or stumbling block, lmt we are here to say that Greene county’s representative on this hoard Will always have his senses and be ready to meet the occasion, what­ ever it way be. His experience in politics in this county ha‘s schooled him to the tactics that are used hy the “ ninChtiif}'” in their wholesale •‘plunderings.” . . . * •‘Out for blood.” Such was the statement Wade to the writer a day or so ago in vegard to the contestants limit ore out for Probate Judge at the coming-spring primary, The partv says we are to have, a nasty race, from tlie fact that the man with the “glue ’ will be pushed by the “gang” for all there is in it There will be'nothing in view except the nomination for tlie office. All principles of manhood, morality and everything else is to be laid aside and one of the dirtiest cam* pnigns ever known is to be instituted. Greehe county has witnessed eome pfetty rotten politics, but from re­ ports that reach us we are to -pass through still worse. With such plans as these, the present Candidate Who has “four thousand Jo drop to the boys,” is about a# Capable, of putting just such a campaign, as anyone Jhe writer has in mind* In fact, any other kind of politics would seem tame to him and his crowd, , In Judge Tuley’s, pecfsioii of the iSiou Lee industry cake, where Bnmuel Btevensuii brought twilL tO; recover' money he had been,induced to place iu the company, her ruled |lmt the business enterprises, ’carried* on by John Alexander-Bowie* the delend uut, are contrary u>'‘.public -policy, fcStevemsou iiftd been induced to“bring his plant laum England ugd add iYto ZUiu, City’s enterprise#. Later -he awakfed to- tho fact Jha.t ;I)oWie hud liteiiilly frozeu him out, consequently his suit for $150,000,ami the appoint­ ment of a receiver by the court. The Judge regards the- religidu 'as an iu tringemeut ou personut rightB. A part of the Judge’s opinion reads: . “ The title to the laud upon which these industries are to be situuteu itu tier this so-called agreement' of Aug. 4 remained iu John Alexander Doyrie, and it appears by thu Jemarkublq' ar­ gument -alluded to of Mr."Packard that’the title on Dowie’s deuth wouni puss to Dowie’s successor, to be uanieu iu his will, which was drawn by Mr., Packard and which provided tor the appointment of trustees, and those trustees, with -thyir successors in trust, were to hold the', title until “ the sec-’ ond comiug pf Christ,” a rather iudei inite period ol’ time, and. lor that reu-: sou obuoxiops to the rule uguiust per­ petuities.” Tuesday morning the case was Stt* tied out ot court, it is said rather than expose the inner workings ol Ziou, The amount given Btuvensou is placed as high us .$200,000, tlie extra -being given by Dowin rather than have the workings ol Zion given to the public, t tor teat- those whom he has ulr “duped” would iolluw iu Bteveusou $ steps. As it is,t the etfe-et ot the de­ cision will be lur reaching, in that it gives stockholders iu oiner Za/U en­ terprises tlie right to appiy lor receiv­ ers. This would take from Elijah l i the supreme control over his many industries. * . The DowieitCs expected a victory* They prepared lor a triumphal ser­ vice in the court route, but the de* cisiuu was contrary to their thought, and the jollification wus abandoned. Dowie exciaimed, “The beets of the devil have triumphed, but it shall uut be lung; Zion will come out vtctori' ousl” He then denounced the “stink pots” ot the press for their shure ol Ins deteat. • Dowie is a dangerous man. He and hm religion have done greater harm than have the thousands .ol years of the Roman Catholic church. He denounces the Govern,neul and defies law. He threatens liberty and; ait his teachings are blasphemous to a startling degree. His work ■'is only toleruted beciiuSe tt is linked with re ligion. He has trulupled upon the Americans’ religious liberty aud ow iug to this liberty it is impossible to reacli persons of the DoWte stamp. This “ Elijah” has set up a priori pality, a city of his own rearing, and refuses to be governed by that l«w which governs American cities. ; I t is prepostiirous. It is the old spirit of Mormonism revived. It is a retusal on thh part of one man to accept conditions as they exist in this great -country Dowie makes his own laws, He is always antagonistic. He is not a good eitifteii, for no man can be who believes that lie is greater than the law. 4 Neither Jaw', nor courts can make The official organ for the Sewer Commission of Xenia comes yut and says that the citizens’ movement is “ petering out,’’ from the fact that the committee has asked for q week’s more time and that there were a few out Mpnday night to hear the report. The facts are, that many knew the committtee has.found numerous things of interest to the public and would require sHli'more time for their inves­ tigation, and .did no t‘go out to the meeting. If the investigating com­ mittee was conducting its work as did the sewer commission the official or­ gan could safely make such a state meut. The committee has pursued a different course. I t laid its plans and is working accordingly, -while the gewsr commission * fed to"do every­ thing, at once, and then when its work was questioned, said everything at once , and had to “G o ’way hack and sit down.” Wef always believe in giving credit where credit is due ,and for this reason would say that from thft tone of the report they did take care of the money above every- thing-else. /That’s" the reason. they called on,Greepe county for assistance. The perspns who favor giving up the Philippines had better say now all they have -to say, for the longer they wait; the .more mahipropbsYvjl! be their remarks. I t must be remem­ bered that the improvements reported by.

It was anununced some time ing about Its' not being enough, I - ago that Governor Lyoq had a card up his sleeve that be would play later, It’s not'right certain, that he has played his hand in his “last interview, yet we have about come' to the con­ clusion that ,he is holding n rather shallow hand. So far the only thing knotyn that the Governor held'was the keys to the institution which was absolutely necessary for one soi pop­ ular with the .feminine employees. He held the keys all right, but it is a question jn dur mind as to his, popu larity. But then every man hus his friends. •The interview with .Governor Lyon has caused. considerable talk, and indeed reflects largely on him in his capacity about the state institu­ tion, The ' Cincinnati Commercial Tribune has the following to Bay in editorial comment: ^ “ Apparently Governor Nash will be impelled'to go deeper into the af­ faire of the State Hospital, at Dayton, thnu the mere demand for the resig- know what I am talking.about, and I know that he has been getting- not less than $10,000 a year out of the position.’ -- -‘.'-Possibly Governor _Ly.on--fails4o_- see that he is . bringing against him- . self, and against the old board, a most grave charge as well as against the Superintendent for he shows, by his interview, that the hoard Was cogni­ zant of the alleged fact of the Super- ' intenden't’s wrong doings^ He says that ‘we iu Greene county knew how he made money out ot them,’ meaning the patieuts. He details that Riitliff ‘ disobeyed the orders of the board a# to the admission'of patients, but wou,Id- travel round to the several counties, . ‘and .by re-examining patients, an illegal proceeding, and by serving, as witness, he drew from, the various county treasurers $3 a head for each - patient.’ Governor Lyon has' most thoroughly justified, the peremptory ' demand of Governor Nash ■ for his nations of the members of the former resignation, and for the?.refusal to Board of Trustees.
