I desire a short space in yonr Valuable paper to say that any insinuations from that quarter are regarded with that su­ preme contempt aand indifference that their source would imply, and can only fall still-born and harmless upon those whose indignation even would become flattery. And to those busy bodies who so re­ cently have become alarmed lest the good reputation of the church bo lost without their especial eflort* to save it we would say that the Baptist Ciiureh. of Greenwood'is fully competent to attend to its own affairs and would commend to them this language ot Paul: "Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy we faint not. but bavj^, renounoed the hidden tilings of dislionesty, not walk­ ing in craftiness, nor handling thetoard of God deceitfully. , PRO PKO I:T ECCLMLA. boys,) and a soul was. found in .

The weather was mipropitions, and Hie expenses much more than had been do­ nated. aiid the "forlorn hope" "bucked up" the balance, just as It hail done the year before. We are Informed that the forlorn hope is uot lu. the bucking up business this year. It will not be creditable to let -the celebration'go by default this year. Whether one I? advertised or not there Will be a large Impromptu gathering at our beautiful cemetery on that df.y. Will not our local and neighborhood clergy meet with the, people, say, at two o'clock in the afternoon, and do a little talking? ^ s It seems to be definitely settled, by Madame Rumor, at least, that Mr. Bil­ let has disposed of the Richmond House, and will soon leave that popu­ lar hosteirle to other hands. Most of Our best citizens will see Mr. Billet and family leave with regret. We hope he will bear away with him kind feelings toward everybody. We think, however, that there a few foe whom his heart cannot be overflowing with love, exactly--that Is If he ha6 any of the Old Adam fn him at all. He lias always attended strictly to Ms oyn business, «o far as we know, and has always let other people's alono. He has been repaid by deliberate and sys­ tematic efforts to damage his business by men who ought to be ashamed of it. Happily the nmhber was very small indeed. The local political Is­ sue had much to do with It, of course, but ho never Interfered with local pol­ itics, and he wns madQ an innocent sufferer for partisan spite. He took out a license when the people voted license,just as any other man would; under the circumstances, and when the people voted nay. he submitted snc). held 111* pence, though It is well known a hotel cannot pay its rent here with­ out a bar. The Incoming man should find a United community to stand by him--but he won't. .We certainly wish him every success and hope he may be able to find in the Richmond House a mine of wealth. * IL11 -- NORTHERN NUNDA* ,* ' , "EDTTOR PLAINDKAIKK:--Perhaps (.16 Old Scribbler says after coming btiek from Iowa) a few items from this place might be interesting to some > W yonr.tna'ny readers.

A half dozen of the Association could not be got together after the second meeting; A forlorn hope--and two would tie the vote of it--for two years tried to be self-deluded with the idea that tlie Loyal League was still an en­ tity.
