The object of this union is: to protect the Ministry of that order and the cause they plead against the Leperous Hypocrites who turn up among them now ai.d then. It is proposed that the clergy of the various states unite themselves Into a regular thorough working compact for the express pur­ pose of looking into the antecedents of preachers of doubtful characters and If found to be foul, publish them to the world a6 such and avoid them as they would a bad case of small pox or any other filthy contagion. It is also the purpose of this association that If any congregation of the order named above should call any such disreputable preacher into their service*, they knowing him to be such, should be put under ban and strictly shunned by every member of the association.-- floats of respectable people outside^ and inside of the churches In uorth- we6tern, Illinois and elsewhere will hail this project as amove in the right place, at the fight time and in the right direction.

Nineteen hundred years ago a soothsayer cried out to Julius Caesar: "Be ware the ides of March!" The ides Were the 13th, 14th and 15th days of ^ie Roman months. Caesar was assas­ sinated on the ides of March. But this met not^nly failed to free Rome from Emperors, but fixed the C.-csar yoke upon the people for centuries there­ after. What will the ides of March do for the Russian Nihilists? •As a preliminary step in the war Sgainet polygamy, a bill will be intro- duced in the next Congress to change tile form of government in Utah. It ts proposed to place the administra­ tion of all airs In the hands of seven commissioners, to be^appointed by the . President, and continue in office dur- -Ingius pleasure. It is thought tlie «vil can be reached in this way more . readily than under the existing form. Tlie law disfranchising polvgamists, male and female, will also be passed. ERICSSON. John Ericsson, whose name Is linked with tlie fame of the iron clad Monitor is now an oldjmau living in New York, Although 7<5 years of age his whole thought is said still to be absorbed in his scientific and mechanical studies, so that he never leaves the roomy old house on Beach St, whicli is at once his dormltury and his workshop, ex­ cept it be for exercise and pressing business. Social recreation he par­ takes not of. He accepts no invita­ tions and gives none. Kvery day he concludes his labors with a record of the events that have happened. For nearly forty year6 he has kept a diary giving one page to eaeh day, until the work has reached its forty-seventh volume, comprising now over 14.000 pages. In tiis diary only twenty days are missing in the forty years, the omission being due to tlie an accident in 1855, which deprived him of a finger on his right hand. Secretary Blaine has made good ufe of his time since he took charge of e State Department. He has "been constant correspondence by cable irh Lord Granville in regard to the .Fortune Bay outrages, and has made «ech progress in the negotiations that -it is proposed to refer the whole mat­ ter to him and Sir Edward Thornton for settlement. If they fail to agree- tbey are to put the case to a third '*party of their own selection, whose de­ cision shall be binding upon both ^governments. * m- w§- f J^^Tlie Inter Ocean says: President CSarfield has expressed himself on the ormon question. He sayB that po- gamy must and shall be stamped Out. and he has asked at least one prominent Republican Senator to take $is stand upon that platform and fight the evil to the death. He wishes, however, to save from illegitimacy the children born of polygamous marriage. Tlil6 much he feels bound to do, be­ cause two of bis predecessors, Fillmore •ud Buchanan, had reorganized the in­ stitution by appointing Brigham Young Governor of Utah Territory." in Aurora citizen was snow bound at Rockford the other day, and writes to the the News as follows: Rockford is a good enough town, but 1 get all mixed up on their drinks here I call lor cider and get some intoxi­ cant that I do not understand, and when I call for my strongest beverage, beer, I get a little red liquid in a thick bottomed glass, which tastes like a torchlight procession marching down luy throat to find the inauguration cer­ emonies. Unless they will furnish a fire escape with each ihink, I don't • want to spend Sunday here.*' KOBKKT T. LINCOLN. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Times says the selec­ tion of Robert T. Lincoln is not one which ^anybody who knows Garfield would have suspected him of making. Mr. Lincoln is thought very well of here. The grumblers are outside poli­ ticians from States like Indiana, who have unrecognized claims. Robert Lincoln was born in Springfield, 111.-- When hisfathercame into the White House, he was but a youth, and was scarce of age when his father was kill­ ed. He was » very popular boy and was widely known and loved. His younger brother died while he was living at the White House. While here young Robert met Mary Harlan, daugh­ ter of then Senator Harlan, of Iowa, fell in love with aud afterwiird mar­ ried her. They have two children,-- He moved to Chicago after his father's death, and there his father's influen­ tial friends gave him a lift in law, for which his natural abilities so well fit­ ted him. Having made a start under these favorable circumstances he rose rapidly in public esteem and his pro­ fession as a lawyer. He now stands at the head of the bar of Illinois. He has been the attorney for the Pullman Car Company and for a prominent life in­ surance company, aud has taken very little part in politics until the last campaign, when he espoused the Grnnt cause quite ardently. Up to that time his whole attention was devoted to his profession, in which he now stands *o high. Judge Harlan once said Robert Lincoln argued a case more clearly and had more promise of the future than any man in his circuit. He is an ener­ getic fellow, with many of the leading characteristics of his great father, without any of his crudeness of manner aud appearance. Gen. Belknap said to-day that no one could say a word against Robert Lincoln. He was a "polished gentleman, an able lawyer, | and would make his mark in any cabi- j net where his great abilities could be j called into play." While a Grant man ana the choice of Senator Logan, he is also a personal friend of Mr. Blaine. Editor within our province to dictate, moral­ ize, scrutinize or criticise, the acts and doings of our neighbors too closely.-- Nor do we deem It advisable for us to attempt to evangelize the whole world ; but we do feel it our duty and one that we owe to ourselves and to the community in which we live to say a few words (and in so doing we are but expressing tlie views and sentiments of the greater portion of the community) against the abomniable and peruiclons practice followed by a few of our citi­ zens. .Men ot mature years, heads of families, som^of them depending up­ on their dqlfly labor for their support, wasting tfielr time, day in and day out, day after day, in teorte than idleness. Gentlemen! you may ask, whose busi­ ness is It "is not our time our own?" No! we emphatically answer--it is not your own, to be unemployed In tills manner, you have no right to place such examples before your own, and your neighbor's children. What right have you to thus open up, and pave for others a highway to viceand indolence. What right have you to thus form a whirlpool of vice in the Ocean of lifts, in the midst of acivliized and enllgbt- enedcommunity, within whose vortex, will eventually be drawn your own and your neighbors children. What right have you to thus stigmatize the com­ munity in which you live? Fathers, what would you say if your sons were to engage in the sanie practices which you are now persuing day after day? A word to the wise is sufficient. Mr. J. Rarhery, our mail carricr, left this offlco last Saturday morning en route for Woodstock with the mail, aud did not succeed in getting back, until the neighbors turned out oy Mon­ day morning and shoveled the road out all the way to Woodstock. Mr. Job Toles lost a valuable cow a few days ago, by getting an extra feed of meal. Mr G. W. Hunt, who lives about three mlle6 north of of this village, came down on Saturday morning to get his mail, and having to wait until after­ noon got snowed in, and had to lay over until Monday, lie was the guest of Mr. J. H. Gariason's family. Don't be discouraged George.

We learn that several persons here­ abouts went to Woodstock last Wednes­ day evening to hear Dr. Thomas lecture. How soon it is found out if a public speaker has ideas. We would go ourself any time, a mile out of our way to hear a genuine new idea expressed. We heard the other day one of our citizens remark that he was always pleased When any one asked him his Reasons for any opinion or sentiment be might advance, because such in­ quiry indicated an interest on the part of the questioner in the subject, and a wllllingness to look at evidence. We thought how good it would be if all felt In this way. Many people take it in high dudgeon, or at least, become quite nervous, when called upon to de- feud, in a rational way, their views or notions. A sensation has been produced in our place since our last bulletin was sent you. occasioned by the distribution of several pamphlets, published by Wm. C. xllerrington. an old and highly re­ spected citizen, detailing certain al­ leged facts and circumstances connect­ ed with his own and his family's expul­ sion from the Greenwood Baptist Church, and their uniting with the society in Richmond of the same de­ nomination. If the averments therein contained, are truthful, there surely must be something rotten in Denmark, aiul with this view, we feel our safest place is with the outsiders. Mr. R. M.

Our dog law is in danger of going to pieces. The real trouble is that every sixth man owns a dog, and not one in a thousand ownsasheepa So after getting a pretty good dog law through the previous Legislature, it is in danger of repeal. One member was elected especially on that issue; he must get the dog law repealed or fail in bis mission and his rising hopes as a politician be blasted. So he says it is cumbersome and not only that, ljut unconstitutional. It. taxes a dollar a head on each dog, and a large amount has been accumulated. This consti­ tutes a fund out of which to indemnify those who lose sheep by dogs, so it somes down to sheep or dogs. Tlie bill to repeal was referred to tlie commit­ tee on revenue, and was reported back with recommendation that it pass. But the sheep men succeeded in having it referred to the committee on agricul­ ture, The day following a professed sheep man, out of courtesy to a dog man, moved a reconsideration of this action, but Senator Hunt showed that' tliis would be out of order. It may be courteous to snatch a bill from a com­ mittee that hasn't had an opportunity to consider it, to oblige an individual senator opposed to sheep as against dogs. We shall see which interest will be protected, sheep or dogs. A wliol- sonie tax on dogs might thin out the curs, and lead to raising better dogs whatever it might do for sheep.-- Sycamore epublican.
