Tlie Rer. Dr. Bo??*,
Of the Theological Seminary in Columbia,
preached in the Presbyterian church
in this place on last Sabbath, taking as
hia text the 24th verse or the 13th chapter
of St. Luke. His analysis aud exposition
nf bis t6xt was able and exhaustive. He
then entered upon an elaborate discus1
kion of the doctrine of predestination I
* and of free will; showing that all social
rules and regulations governing and controlling
men in their intercourse with
each other, as well as tho statute laws of
I all civilized and barbaric countries were
based on the presumption of the freedom
of the will, and that it woHld be impossible
lor a person to act upon any other hy- j
pothesis and not transgress these written |
*?- * ... ? j ?..*i n
-nnu unwritten laws ana regulations. no;
then disrussed tho question of God'.s fore-1
knowledge an i foreordination, and said
k that although we could not understand!
the doctrine it was nevertheless true, and ]
was not inconsistent with the freedom of;
tho will. That the operations of Jod's;
[ power on the converted sinner wa? a,
f problem we could not solve; that it was |
wild is too deep and profound for the human
intellect to grasp; that it was doubt- j
fill whether the anxels in heaven underfttood
it, and as all the philosophers from j
the ancient Greeks to the present time did :
not know what the freedom of the will j
is, so they could not hope or expect toi
Unravel the profounu mysteries of the
doctrine of predestination. That God did
not exclude human agency, hut on the!
contrary included it in tho grond plan for j
i Xhe redemption of souls. That no one I
? could be saved unless they were willing. ]
rTUis is but a meagre synopsis 01 imsi
able and eloquent discourse which com-'
(Handed the undivided attention of thej
entire congregation. . * At
night Or. Boggs again preached In |
a forcible and pleasing manner to a large 1
audience, using as the text the 14th and
15th verses of tho 3d chapter of St. Johr.:;
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the1
wilderness, eveit so must the Son of ihstu 1
be lilted up: That Whosoever believeth in j
tiiin should not perish, but havo eternal I
life."

Their prices are moderate, and their material

[they assume tho proper ground in not exI
eluding one of their own number from a

A Most Interesting Letter From a Talented
and Accomplished Young Lady who has
Recently Returned from a Trip to Eastern
Ohio.
Recently we were on a pleasure trip lil feast;
cm Ohio. We will give your renders smne
of our Impressions while there: This section
was suffering from h severe tiroogni, so mm
we saw the country at h great disadvantage.
There was not u green field to be Keen. The
gra-s was dead, rout and all It was feared, and
Judicious farmers were selling off cattlc to
prevent the necessity of feeding them. But
the people did not appear discouraged as we
SbUtherners are In a dry season. For they
had reaped a bountiful whe?t and oats harvest,
and the corn was nearly made.
PLOUOHINO IS DUST AND MORTAR.
We saw many things that were new and
surprising. No matter how dry the season,
farmers plow right along wllh the dust rising
In clouds behind them. During this terrible
drought, the harvast fields were broken up
and sown again In wheat and oats in the
months of August and September. In some
places we noticed that the fields had been
plowed while quite wet. and the great sods
were hard and sun b;iked. We learned that
It did not Injure the soil to plow while "too
wet," but that some times they plowed when
wuter was standing tn the furrows. Then
when the next, rain couies this limestone soli
Is so soft and porous that the clods melt
down nicely. It Is certainly a convenience
that they < an plow when it suits them, without
belngobliKed to "wait until ItralnHi" No
alow is used except I he lame two-horse ong.
Instead of plowing from one end of the field
and then back again, as wo do, they begin at
one corner of the field and plow eutlrely
around, finishing up In the ccntcr.
TREMENDOUS HILT.S.
We were visiting principally In the eastern
portion of Ohio, near wheeling. We were
surprised to see such tremendous hill*, but
more amazed to sec that, there were no washes.
About two-thirds of the State lies level, but
tliiH eastern part Is very broken. Farmers
claim thcr? Is quite an advantage in owning
hilly land, that we had never thought of,
namely?ttiat whilst lite farmer on level soil
can cultivate only oiieridcdf the grouud, they
can till at least tioo ride*.
The [rlsh potato grows well. The yield is
300 bushels to the acre, and somellrties as
iriuch as 400 bushels pel-acre. 'lbey are shipped
directly to Chicago;
FINE APPLES.
We were better pleased with the ffppleR than
with any other crop. The apple orchards are
a striking feature. Travel which way yon
may, they are large and numerous. This
splendid fruit Is enjoyed Ihcyear round, the
early varieties ripening In June, and the winter
apples may he kept through May. A gentleman
told us that last year he sold from one
??r i?i? m-ohiirds loo hurrels at St tier barrel. If
there Is any one thing of which wo feel flpecllaUy
Inclined to envy the people of this region,
It. Is for thin fine fruit It Is considered
no very healthful. A fruit grower said to ur :
"It Ik a noticeable fact that those persons
who have plentv of frolt and enjoy It, need
little medical attention. lutein the spring,
I often sell even a third grade apple Just for
the children to eat to prevent having to buy
medicine." We never saw fruits used so ex- i
tenslvely on the table. It wa? not an unusual
thing to ?ee half a dozen dishes ol cooked
fruit on the tablo at once, and they have
fewer meat dishes than Southerners, though
the meat is of a superior quality. Apple
sauce Is a favorite dish. It Is ou the table
three times a day, and to are tomalors very j
often. Jtlsa rule to have only cold bread?)
hop yeast bread?which Is superior to the best
baker's brt?ad. The pear is also a popular and j
luscious fruit.
OKAPK CULTURE.
A peculiarity In the fririt line Is tho culture
or the grape. Every fumlly has a great abundance
of snipes. They (trow in garden and
yurd, and therti.ls almost always a vine trained
over rtie hack porch, laden with luscloiis
fruit. The snide varieties grow td i^feater
Kcrfectton than with us?thlnnersklrtriea and
etter flavored; Even In the towns It was not
nnustial to see'? benutitul vine ornamentlne
the frfint ettthtrtco. Lafge vineyards ore not j
so common now as a few years a?:o, when a
good deal of wine was made. Grapes, blackberries.
raspberries, cherries, currants, Ac.,- are
canned by every family, and they enjoy all
this splendid fruit ufrtll It comes the next
year.
THE PKOPLK AND THETK HABITS.
The people ol Ohio Inujresscd us as being
wonderfully energetic. They not only know .
how to make money and how to take care of
It, but they know equally as well how to en-!
Joy It. They have flue productive land, the!
price varying from 850 to per acre; and j
yet they fertilize and take care of it; They
are neither careless nor wasteful. aS. their j
homes and premises demonstrate. If any
thinn geu out of order, it Is Immediately repaired.
Jn the orchard, the treesare carefully
trimmed, and the ground Is kept as clear of
iimivc on/j u-oo/Ib ito q lnwn. fir* thnt thf?!
grass may grow. There in absolutely no rub-i
blan on the premises no broken eaten and
tumble down fences. Every one lives in ft l
good house, and many homes are rea'ly ele-\
ganU Every thlfig speaks of plenty and com- i
tort. Servants arC the rare exception, not the I
rule. Consequently the mother and daugh- j
ters do all the housework, and it. shows to i
iiave been well done. Everything is arranged 1
so conveniently that It does not take always j
to do"thc work." but with systematized ef-1
fort, thoy'still tind time for mental, mrfrttl and !
social culture,- and a margin is left In which |
to cmbelish their homes. We would ft ay that I
the ladies are not vain and extravagant in '
dress, but neat and nice. As there is so little i
Hi'ed labor, the gentlemen have to work, too. I
W~ illd not sec any loafers sitting around '
'whlttllhg sticks." BelinontOonnty is thick- j
ly settled. When on top ofoneot these tre-:

MiFlNO.
Coal miulng Is onito an Industry in tills i
part of the State, wo saw several mines In!
operation, though not on a larue seal*. A few I
miles from St. Clalrsville, the County seat, a j
mine is being worked. All the workmen of j
tliis mine live In New Pittsburg,a litlle town
of one hundred houses, which has sprung up ;
in the last few months. These were the tirst1
miners we had seen. They passed by us Into,
in the afternoon with lanterns ami picks. As!
we looked on their black faces and shriveled j
forms, sure we are, we did uot envy them
their hard lot.
GLASS WORKS;

were In the glass house. The workmen come
on duty every six hours, working 12 honrR out

wages and might live well hut that King AtCoho'l

PIC-NIC.
We had the pleasure of attend'ng plc-nlcs.
fairs, <tc, and thus had the opportunity of
conversing with many people. We were
present at a Sabbath School pic-nic of the
United Presbyterian Church of St. Clairsville.
We much enjoyed feeing now other people
did such tilings. Not only were the little[
children pleased, but every one seemed wide i
ihviiUp unit hutinv to see everv one else enjoy-1
lug themselves.""
A COUNTY FAIR.
We also attended the Belmont County Fair.
We were escoried over the grounds by the
genial Mr. Thompson, who took special pains
to make his "Southern friends" enjoy themselves.
The ladies made a line exhibition of
most beautiful and artistic work. But we
were specially interested in the machinery
and stock. We saw a wagon propelled by
steam, intended for moving heavy machinery
from place to place. These Ohio people use a
great deal of improved machinery and farm
Iniuleiiienis. We were much Interested In a
mill which ground all klnd.4of grain and peas
and cottou seed for stock. It was operated by
one lior-e and cost only S0O. Wo thought every
large farmer ought to liaveone.and that
two or three farmers on a smaller scale should
own one Jointly. In a few hours, on a rainy
day< a farmer could grind his own trfeal and
prepare stock feed which would be far superior
and more economical than when fed ungrotitid.
The convenience and economy
would pay for the mill in a year or two.
FINE STOCK.
We have alwnys ad in I red fine stock, but did
not know we could be quite so enthusiastic.
The stock exhibit was lull and tine. The
Spanish Merino is the fine wool growing
sheep. They command a price All the way
up to 81,8:.Kper head. These are fancy prices,
as they are raised here principally for sale.
Such cows we have never seen! The short'
horn, the fine beet cattle Is of mammoth size.
We saw some which wete longer, broader and
heavier than a large sized liorse. Some of the J
gentlemen said their backs would support an
ordinary sized mattress in a comfortable position.
Three years ago there was not a Jersey
In the County but Judging from the ex
moil, mat oiei'u is last. growing popular.
While looking at the hogs, we remarked to
our friend, "we would Ju*t aR soon have a
rhinoceros uttack us as one of these tusked
monsters," and he replied) "Yes, ludeedi"
We have not inuen to say of politics. North,
for we *aw and heard Ultle of a political character.
Once we heard Maine's name mentioned,
and once we saw a Cleveland Auk.
The Prohibitionist party Is gaining ground.
We heard good men of both the Republican
and Democratic persuatton expressing themselves
as hopeful that these old parties would
soon give way to new and purer ones.
L. G.
Why delay fattening your hogs when
you can buy mill feed which is half shorts
at Rogers' Wholesale Store at $1.25 per
hundred lbs ? It is cheaper than corn.
Rogers' wholesale prices are having
the desired effect. He is receiving orders
