Thursday evening Rev J O A Clark, D D, addressed the congregation iu boluilf of Wesleyan Monumental Church at Savannah, The lecture was an able one FYi'day afternoon Rev Jas Dun woody by the unanimous roqnest of the Confer ence preae hed at the Methodist church. His text was Isa 9; Chap and 6th verse. Although iu his 9otk year almost blind and with a feeble body tottering on the bounds of time, this venerable sol dier of the cross preached one of the best sermons o his life. His mind is clear and logiCjcal, his spiritual vision nudiuimed, and after a very long blame less and faithful life, his words seemed almost like a revelation from above. W Friday evening at the JWethodist" church, Dr-J B J/eF’errin preached a sermon that was greatly felt and admir ed by the congregation. /Saturday evening Dr. Wilson deliver ed an address on Missions which crea ted and brought in some liberal sub scriptions to the cause, Rev James Duuwoody subscribing §10, and others following. /Sunday morning at 9 o’clock a large and most enjoyable love feast was held. * At the JF'thodistchurch 11 a M/Sunday j?ey Dr Wilson of Nashville preached to an imuieuse congregation. His text was 4th Chap of /Second Corinthians, 1st and 2nd verses. Ilia sermon was de cidedly the ablest and most powerful we have heard.for a long time. It was a model of eloquence and elegant dic tion.

He retired as usual, and a gentleman who was rooming with him asked him a question. He did not an swer, and it being repeated two or three times suspicion was aroused, and he was found speechless and unable to move. He has been attended by Dr. M. W.

From tbe unlimited words of praise that hove been bestowed upOn^t, tbe conclusion fixed that tbe Detroit Free Fress is the most popular journal in exibtenee. Not that it has tbe greatest eireuiation— tnougb for tint matter few papers have a more ex tended one—but that tbo most profound affection for it exists among those who read and know its merits. Certain is it that no journal contains so many at tractive and original features. Enjoyable in the highest degifee,, ife tone is the purest, its literary standard the most 'excellent. It combines to a surprising extent in its weli-fill- Cd pages tbe grace, learning, wit, humor, versatility aud genius oi tbe American people. Unique amoag newspapers, sprightly and reada ble in every portion—it is coiled with so much, tact, intelligence and ease, that readers of every class and it, abc ve all others, the one that satis fies! Varied are its deportments and its contents^the whoje a most jugicipus combination. If one may liken intellectual to material things its field cf sto ry, poetry, correspondence, anecdote, wit, burner sentunent, history, belies letters, knewledge in its illimited extent— may bo compared to a well order ed banquet.
