Friends: It is a fact, though a fact hard to be accounted for, that many Sunday schools, especially in country, districts, close in the fall, and sometimes remain closed far into the spring. "Why? Is Bible instruction less valuable or les3 needed in -winter than In summer ? Are souls less precious, or is labour for their conversion less a duty ? Do the world, the flesh, and the devil, cease to allure and destroy? Do sickness and death cease their work ? Are all sure of renewed opportunity neit year? To ask these questions suggests the answer. Why-should the work cease? You give especialy care to your common school in -winter; get the best teachers, .and expect the largest attendance and the best interest. Literary Societies, Lyceums, Lec tures, all literary and educational movements are in full and successful operation in winter. In social life it is the same. Social ' gatherings for purposes of amusement or profit, or both, are multiplied and better sustain ed during this part of the year. Christians multiply their meetings and efforts for their own and others good. . )Ve look for revivals mostly too many of us only in winter. It is the season of activity. And when all else is active, why should the Sunday school the best, in many instances the only, means of religious instruction for the children and youth go into winter quarters and lie dormant; rather die, and await a feeble and un certain resurrection next spring? I know the excuses, I dare not call them reasons, for this course I only ask. Are they vaild?- Will the Master accept them? Cau you meet them, and the dear ones who are to die this winter, at the. Judgment? I en treat you to pray over this matter. Ask Jesus.. Ask your, conscience. Ask the" children. ' If they say, Keep n, let it not bo said, as a little girl once exclaimed, "Our Sunday-school stopped ye8terda3" "Why was that?" she was asked. "Because there were no teachers: they did not come any more, so Mr. -stopped the school ;" and her grieved and troubled look, and her quivering lip, tbld how sorely she felt the loss of her Sunday-school. No! the school should not close, liather replenish the library. Get new papers! Renew old subscriptions! Sedcuble your efforts to lead the - children ' to Jesus! Call in new scholars! Let. us have a glorious winter campaign for Jesus and the children ! I will do all I can to aid you. "Write me about' it;, By all means, hold cn. Do not. -.stop the school! . Yours in love. Missionary American S. S. Union. THE MOEHAN HOUSE. A minister, the Rev. "W. II. II. Mur ray, sometimes called Adirondack Mur ray, has written a book on the horse, in which he gis a history of the Morgan Horse. "We have gone over the main features before but append Mr. Murray's remarks for the benefit of our farmer friends and. brother horsemen: Justin Morgan was about fourteen hands high, and weighed not over 030 pounds a very small horse to have won immortal fame by the excTliehce of his descendants. In the power of transmitting his high qualities to his descendants he stands unequalled by any horse that ever lived. His' color was dark bay; the mane, tail, and legs black, with no white hairs on any part of the body. The inane and tail were coarse and quite ; heavy, the hair straight and not cully". The head was small, lean and bony ; the ears small, Cne, and wide apart; th9 eye3 promi nent, dark, and pleasant ; the forehead broad and the faco straight; the muz zle small, and the lips close and firm; the nostrils very large; the back very short; shoulder-blades and hip bones long and oblique ; the loins broad and muscular; the body long, round, and deep; the chest capacious; the legs short, thin, hard, wide, and free from superfluous meat; the ' muscles very large for so small a horse, and: exhibit ing his developement in this respect at every step; the hair soft and glossy, and long about the fetlocks ; the feet small, but shapely, and with the legs free from blemish. He was a fast walker and a clean trotter. Some con tend that he made his mile in three minutes, others in four. In these days, however, he would be voted slow in this respect. "While ho was proud, bold, fearless, vigorous ever, ready for a race or a trotting match he was one of the most docile and tractable horses of which we have any record. He was patient, gentle, and kind, and loved to be handled ; but he disliked children, and dogs were his special aversion. When running loose in the yard or field-he would chase a dog out of sight the moment ho saw him,- He was a most perfectly trained parade horse, and would move backward or sidewiso at the will of the rider. Of course Justin wa3 always wanted by the militia brigadiers on "general train ing" days. He was playful and in con tinual motion when taken out without halter or bridle. In point of speed, he always won in short races, because he went off like the springing of a steel trap. In the harness ho was quiet, pa tient in the bad places, and alwajTS ready and willing for a "pull." In point of strength aild willingness and most of his life was spent in the ordinary work of a farm ho had no equal in all the country round. Many anecdotes of his feats of strength were still in circulatiou when his his tory was sought to be gathered up and saved from the mould which gathers alike upon the memories of men and brates. One of these will illustrate his high qualities. In those days 1705 he was hired out to a man by the name of Evans, earning the sum of $15 per year for his owner. Evans took jobs of clearing land, and Justin was his only "team." Pulling matches were in vogue in that portion of the Green Mountain State, and on one oc casion several 1,203 pound horses were hitched singly to a big pino log which was wanted in a mill ten rods distant; but none of them could make it budge an inch. Evans came home in the evening, when he heard of the discom fiture of the big horses. He offered at once to bet a gallon of rum that his "colt" could draw the log to the mill at three pulls. The bet was taken; and after a drink all around, the crow-d went out to see the sport,- by the dim light of a lantern. After hitching Justin to the log, Evans told three of the men to get upon it and ride. They did so, and the little horse was told to start. At the word he started, draw ing the log halfway to the mill before he was stopped. Taking breath a mo ment, the next pull saw this tremen dous load deposited on the log-way, and his owner had won his gallon of rum. A few days another gallon in afterward he won a race of eighty rods. But the most remarkable character istic of this wonderful horse 4i the preservation rind full development of his fine qualities in all the successive generations of his descendants down to the present daj In this respect the world knows not his equal. "Crossed with twenty families, his blood domi nates over all." This stock is now known throughout the world, and it has made the fortunes of great num bers of men, and added millions of dollars of wealth to the country es pecially benefitting Xew Hampshire and Vermont, where Justin Morgan was owned. Celebrated horses de scended lineally from him are now found everywhere; and, to come down a moment to statistics, it has been as certained that 14 have trotted better than a mile in 2:2G; 40 better than 2:33: 49 better than 2:30, and 3 in 2:30. The descendants of no othe horse have such a record. And yet, thi3 founder of a race this kingly horse, which enjoys such a surpassing posthumous fame was reared and owned all his life by plain country people, who valued him chief ly for his ability to do hard work. lie was never luxuriously cared for, and only knew tho treatment bestowed upon ordinary work horses. His won derful sagacity and docility seemed due more to his inherent qualities than to any systematic train. He was oneo sold for $100, and bird out to work a whole year for $15 during which time he helped his master build "log heaps." - He lived to be 23 years of age, and his death in 1S21 was a sad one. Instead of tender, considerate care, af ter his life of usefulness, he was turn ed out to run loose in an open barn yard, in the inclemency of a Vermont winter. In the course of the winter he was kicked by another hor3e in the flank; inflamation set in, and this 8100 horse very soon died. Before being hurt he was perfectly sound and free from blemish of any kind Persons who saw him in 1820 describe him as possessed of almost youthful health and vigor. Neither rtge nor revere la bor had sapped hi3 vigor or broken his constitution. His eye was bright, his step firm and elastic, and his natural force unabated. At a weekly meeting a straight-laced and most exemplary deacon submitted a report in writing of the destitute widows who stood in need of assistance from the congregation. "Are you sure, deacon," asked another sober brother, "that -yon have - embraced all the widows V He said he believed he had. THE FURXAS-IIEEALD SUIT.. Knowing his entire innocence of the charge made against him, Gov. Furnas commenced the libol suit against the Omaha Herald, not only to vindicate his private character, but for the com mon good of society. It was com menced at the only place this charac ter of suit could bo brought, with no expectation of being forced to trial in that county, with the then and present t -surroundings. At first opportunity, change ef venue was asked, not from the judicial district, but merely to an adjoining county in tho same district. This, we. submit, tnas due the case, un der circumstances, without reference to either of the contending parties as individuals. The reasons given for thus seeking a change of venue were: That Omaha was the home of the de fendants, who were publishers and ed itors of a daily newspaper, in Which capacity tliey have been persistent and constant in creating a public opinion purposely prejudicial to Gov. Furnas by the publication of numerous edito rials and depositions taken solely in the intertst of the Herald. Omaha is the place where the alleged crime i3 said to have occurred, and out of which has grown great and prevailing excite ment. Furnas resided in another por tion of the State, between which locali ties it is Well known there has, for many years, existed a bitter local feud. Under these circumstances it was un reasonable to believe, other than that intelligent men in Omaha, competent to sit on a jury having under consid eration a case of this magnitude, were either unfavorably prejudiced, or had read, formed and expressed an opinion, which, under court rulings, disqualified them for such position, and thus de prived the case of an intelligent jury. Again, it was, and is still believed, not only by Gov. Furnas, but by his friends, that such were and are the social and political relations existing between the Herald and the court officers having principally in charge the making up and handling of tho jury,-that there was, and is, good 'grounds for a belief that partiality would be exercised in favor of the Herald and against Fur nas. Under all these circumstances a change of veuuo was denied, trial was had, and the result what every intelli gent eye-witness predicted, no ver dict for either party. 1 The whole pro ceedings of tho trial only confirmed the truthfulness of the reasons given ask ing for a change of venue a3 to facts and circumstaflces. A trial under such surroundings and circumstances was the merest farce in form of law. All unbiased men who witnessed the trial agree in this. opinion. Applica tion was made a second time for change of venue, reiterating former reasons given, together with glaring and dis graceful facts which occurred during trial and observable even to the morti fication of the HeraMs friends, prejudi cial to Gov. Furnas. Chango of venue even under all these circumstances, was again denied. From the fact that in this State there is no Statuatory regulation gov erning in the matter of change of ve nue, all being entirely within the dis cretion of the judge, and therefore ap peal in exceptions being of no avail, and being satisfied that another trial in Omaha, under such surroundings and circumstances as have been nar rated, would only be the more ridicu lously and shamefully farcial, with no earthly hope of securing justice, Gov. Furnas ha3 ordered the case dismissed. "We are fully satisfied with Gov. Furnas' vindication from the testimo ny in the trial had, and believe that any honorable, impartial person, who heard, or read the entire testimony in the case, believes him innocent of the charges made by the Omaha Herald, But let none believe that the end is yet. Broicnville Advertiser. TliE CALIFORNIA FLYER. Occident's Wonderful Trot of a 3Iile In 2:1G 3-1. From the San Fiancisco Chronicle. San Fp.ancisco, Sept. 18. It was announced, some time ago, that ex-Governor Stanford's horse Oc cident would be entered for the $2,000 plate offered by the society for any horse that would beat the best time ever raada in the State 2:1734 by Goldsmith Maid. A general hop has existed that he would , succeed in ac complishing . the great feat, .mingled with a great deal of doubt as to the result. . : : -. . . . Yesiferday morning it was reported that the horse would not go for the plate, but merely be speeded over the track, so as to satisfy in some measure the desires of those who had gathered to see his pacel Happily, however, the report proved unfounded, and ev erybody was on the qui vive when it was aonounced from the judges' stand that Occident was entered for tho plate and would make an effort to mark down the time recorded for the best trotting over a California track. At 3:30 o'clock. - - OCCIDENT APPEARED ON THE TRACK and wa3 greeted by a welcoming shout. He looked well, and murmurs of ad miration were heard from nearly all of the 7,000 or S.GOtf people who had been drawn together by the magic of his name. The ladie3 alLsmiled sweetly upon him ; and the men who had been filled with doubt regarding the issue of 'i tho great effort of his life now took note of his" fine appearance, and began to hope that, aftr all, he might give warranty in public to tho splendid promise of his private trials. His young driver, George Tennent. held the reins quietly, and no sign of lack of confidence was to be found it: ICok or act of his. Gov. Stanford was in the reporters' stand, little anxious, of course, but hopeful of the horse's suc cess. He said that Occident could cer tainly beat 2:17, but it was possible that he would not bo in condition to do it in thi3 trial. As Occident, with clock-like motion, trotted down the track, in front of the grand stand, he was loudly cheered by thousands of voices. Innumerable stop-watches were produced; there was jostling and skirmishing for the positions from which the best view of the track could be obtained; the cheers died away into silence and then all waited nervously for tho event. Tho running horse, Brown Dick, was brought out to keep him company, and: after a little pre liminary scoring, " TIIE BELL WAS TArrED, and Occident shot past the score, Brown Dick some distance behind. Tennent handled the horse in handsome style, and the eager crowd breathlessly watched the little bay beauty as he went "striding onward" to the quarter- pole. With honest, faultless trotting he passed the pole in 30 seconds, without apparent exertion, and went on without effort, increased his speed irilhe second quarter 1. seconds, pass ing the half-mile pole in 1 :10t' Ten nent holding hard and Brown Dick gallantly following on. " On the third quarter, Tennent put. him down to his work, and the pace was increased, the far turn being rounded in rapid fash ion, and -the noble horse swung into the home stretch at a terrific gait. As he came tearing down the long stretch not an exclamation was heard; but when he passed under the line, without having made a skip or a break, in TIIE WOXDERFCX. TnrE of 2:lGi. the suppressed excitement of tho vast concourse found vent in long and ringing shouts in honor of the great triumph of the gallant little favorite of California. For sometime wild and almost ludicrous enthusiasm held icssesRion of the crowd, mani fested by repeated cheers, waving of handkerchiefs and hats, and all man ner of exhibitions of delight. The throng crowded the quarter-stretch, waiting the authoriiive announcement of the time made by the little flyer; and when the figures were hung but on the black-board, and it was announced from the judges' stand that Occident had made the best time on record in the annals of the California turf, and won the plate, the enthusiasm broke out .again, and the vast throng, not forgetting Stanford in their admira tion of Occident, cheered the Governor heartily, till that well-pleased gentle man advanced to the front of the stand and bowed his acknowledgment of the compliment. Tor was tho dri ver forgotten, for a crowd gathered around him and congratulated hinl on the careful and successful manner in which he had held the reins behind the turf monarch. A rLEASANT WIND-L'P. Governor Stanford, whose gratifica tion at the triumph of his horse was exhibited without attempt at conceal ment, at once came to tho judges' stand and presented the valuable plate to the society, with the understanding that it should bo put up each succeeding year for competition until the time just made by Occident should be beaten. This generous act was announced from the stand, and wa3 greeted with much applause. ANOTFIER DASIf. After awhile, at the solicitation of many persons on the course, Occident was again speeded around tho track. He went handsomely to tho quarter pole in So VX seconds, and reached the half mile pole in 1:09 , one second less than his time in the first trial ; and it was believed that ho was going to even more remarkable speed before he reached the score. On the third quar ter he was trotting splendidly, going along at an extraordinary gait, but un fortunately, to the regret of tho con course which was watching his progress down the home-stretch with the deep est interest, he broke, about 200 yards above the distance fla.?. where an ex cited crowd were shouting hoarsely and exultingly. Before he could be got down to square trotting again, some seconds elapsed ; but even tvs it w?.s, he parsed under the score in the very good time of 2:16 TIIE EESEXT. Gov. Stanford may well be congrat ulated upon the ownership of such a splendid horse a3 Occident approved himself Wednesday, and the whole State will come in for a share of tho congratulation, inasmuch as the event cannot fail to add greatly to the al ready widespread reputation of Cali fornia as a producer of fast stock. Occident has, by this brilliant perform ance, placed himself at the head of the trotting turf, side by side with Goldsmith Maid, whose best time he has equalled. II is future, under care ful training, is brilliant, and we may reasonably hope that he will yet in crease tho speed which seems to U3 so extraordinary now, in view of his pedigree, the hard labor he has been put through in past years and his in experience on the racing .turf.. . iiENERAL NEWS.

National Bank men are getting alarmed at tho prospects for war upon the National Banking system, to be predicated upon the conduct of these institutions during :he recent panh?. It is said that tho Democratic Mem bers and Senators will unite in an ef fort to abolish tho National banking system entirely, and substitute green backs for national bank currency. A prominent Western Senator has com mitted himself to a project in this di rection which goes so far as to in2re.;.-;e the volume of paper money to a thous and millions, and ho argues that tho plan can bo so guarded us to prevent the possibility of future panics, and at the sarno time to keep the gold premi um merely nominal. SENATOR CARPENTER. " A strong effort is being made to re move Senator Carpenter from the io sition of President pro tern, of the Sen ate, to which he was chosen just be fore the adjournment of that body last spring. The friends of Senator Mor ton are pushing him for the place, but Mr. Anthonj', of Rhode Island, will probably get it if any change i3 made. KEN A TOR STEWART. There are various ruiSors about the cause of the reported "suspension" of Senator Stewart; o'f Nevada. It is known that he has suddenly ceased the expenditure of money on the palatial residence he is erecting here. He is largely interested in mining stocks and other securities which have suffered by tho panic, and he is also a large shareholder in the Nortiiern Pacific Road.- A. J. Strong efforts have been mado to draw Andy Johnson out on tho mat ter of Mrs. Surratt's execution, but he declines to be interviewed uutil he can have an official investigation. In pri vate conversation he protests that lie knew very little about the eifurt3 made for the unfortunate woman's reprieve or commutation. Immediately after the trial a petition in her favor was sent to him, but he did not feel like extending Executive clemency. Sub sequently, he says, Preston King and others interfered to prevent petitions from reaching him; aad on the morn ing of the execution Mr. King positive ly prohibited Mrs. Surratt's daughter from seeing him on an errand of mer cy. It will be remembered that soon aftor this Mr-. King committed suicide by drowning in tho North river. Johnson feels very sore on this sub ject, although he avows bis ability to make a good record for himself when the subject is officially investigated. Not long ago a country slcre, in close proximity to tho city of New Or leans, had one or two boxes of torpe does, that are about the size of a wren's egg, left over from its holiday stock. In rearranging the shelves one of the little boxes was opened and all St3 eon tents given away, except one single torpedo, - which, resembling a "bird's egg" candy, a3 the colort d folks call them, was left on the ecu nter. A wise looking old negro rode, up to the store on a malkdou.'vJookiiig hor.se' about 9 o'eiock at night. He hitched his "crit ter," and came into the store alter a dram. While the clerk wa3 pouring th;3 out, old grizzly heal, thinking that where even the smallest things are available, opportunities should not be lost, slid his horny hand over that "bird's egg" candy and hauled it in.--Then be made out like he was putting a chew of tobacco ia his mouth.
