Since then the progeny of this gander, and their prtgeny ever since, have developed a similar deformity in a considerable percentage of their number, thus affording a serious inquiry for the modern school of evolutionists The Rev. Dr. Sonnenscheine lecture on temperance, which was to haTebeen delivered at Mercantile Library Hall St.

Louis, Thursday evening last, was postponed, the attendance not being large enough to warrant the lecturer in delivering it. The Murphy meeting at the Rink the same evening was largely attended. The Rev. Dr. is on the wrong side of the fence.

The Murphy Movement at Marshfield. A correspondent writes as follows concerning the inanguration of the Murphy movement at Marshfield Marshfield has taken the Murphy it fever. The ball opened on Saturday nght. The weather being stormy, the turn-out was not very large. Yesterday morning, at the colored church, and in the afternoon at the M.K.

Church, some work was done, but in the evening, at the Court House, there was a full house and great interest manifested. Several well-known slaves of the bottle had come forward in a body, when a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm filled the house. Some 250 have already joined the roll, and the work is fully inaugurated. Election of RsIIrosd Officers. The Springfield and Western Missouri Railrotd Company have elected the following officers fer the ensuing year: President L.

II. Murray. Vice President C. II. Heer, Sr.

Superintendent II. E. Havens. Treasurer Chas. Sheppard.

Secretary Jas. Abbott. It is needless to say that the selections are good, and that the interests of the city are safe in their hand. Under their energetic management, too, the road will be pushed rapidly forward to completion, and Springfield will soon realize some of the benefits which will flow directly from this enterprise.

The Greenbabkers and labor reformers make substantial gsim, generally at the expense of the Democrats.

Gold. This metal has come to be considered a kind of business barometer, and the gold reports are watched each day with an interest as intense as that felt by the dealer in wheat or cotton in the market quotations of those staples. Many believe it to be an infallible indicator of the condition of business that its approach to an equality with government notes shows a gradual but sure return of better times; that when it has an npward tendency, commercial rain is sure to follow unless the unfortunate tendency is checked. It was on this gronnd that the money seers of the country predicted an era of universal bankruptcy, as the necessary and legitimate result of the passage of the bill to remonetize the silver dollar. They argned that gold would at once go up out of light that it would leave the country that it would refuse to associate with its cheaper brother, and cave the commercial and other industries stranded on a medium of exchange which nobody would have, aud which was too cumbersome to handle, even if its quotation was acceptable.

In the face of these dolorous predictions, the bill was passed, vetoed, passed over the veto, and became a law. The first movement of gold was downward then it fluctuated a little for a few days again it started down, and almost every day since the price has been marked by a lower per cent, above the value of greenbacks; or, what amounts to the same thing, the price of greenbacks has appreciated until on yesterday gold was quoted at fl 001 only seven-eighths of one per cent, remaining between gold and paper, at the expiration of two weeks, under the dire effects of the silver bill. If gold is the indicator it is believed to be, the country must be on the road to a better condition cf monetary affairs. At any rate, it is safe to say that business has not been badly demoralized by the remonetization of silver. The Lenten Season.

Lent has been fairly inaugurated, and society people will govern themselves accordingly. The following are the regulations of the Catholic church for observing the season, as given in the Chicago dailies 1. All the week days of Lent, from Ash Wedresday to Easter Sunday, are fast-days, of precept on one meal, with the allowance of a moderate collation in the evening. 2. General usage has made it lawful to drink, in the morning, some tea or coffee.

3. The precept of fasting implies also that of fasting from the nse of flesh meat; but, by dispensation, the nse of flesh meats is allowed in this diocese at any time on Sundays, and at the principal meals on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with the exception of Holy Thursday. 4. It is not allowed to nse flesh meat and fish at the same meaL 5. Lard may be used in preparing fish, vegetables, eto.

o. The church excuses from the obligation of fasting (bnt not from abstinence from flesh meat, except in special cases of sickness or the like,) the fol lowing persons: Young persons under the age of 21 years; the sick; those whose dnties are of an exhausting or laborious character women in pregnancy or nursing infanta all who, through weakness, cannot fast without great prejudice to their health.

Special Correspondence Daily Patriot. Watnesvillz, March 10, 1878. Editors Tatrioi: The preliminaries necessary to the selection of a jury ended on Friday last. Seventy-six men were sworn before a full panel was secured. The twelve sworn to try the case are as follows, John Hamilton, Jacob II.

Logan, W. S. Musgrove, L. D. Fletcher, A.

G. Cook, H. II. Skaggs, J. T.

McMillan, T. B. Musgrove, Samuel Carson, D. J. Bowlin, J.

R. Finley and Smith Story. One hundred and fifty witnesses have been sworn in the case, one-half of whom are for the defense. It will probably take ten days to hear the evidence in the case at bar, and in the three cases to follow at least three weeks more. A number of witnesses have been examined, the most important of whom thus far was Joseph Shelton, a country boy nineteen years old.

He said that he spent Friday, the lstof June, in Gibson Greenstrcet's saloon and blacksmith shop; had seen and talked with the two the week before; cn Friday, June 1, the day before the wreck, Green-street ss id to witness while they were in the saloon, lets get on a drunk and tear the railroad up that's a better way of making money than this is. We had all been drinking a little; Gibson, Long and myself were in the saloon at the time; could not aay whether Woodward was present or not; the doors and windows of the saloon were closed had known Greenstreet for a couple of years, also Gibson played cards and drank in the saloon with Gibson, Greenstreet and Long that afternoon. There is mnch more yet to come, and there in no donbt that the guilt of one of the most fiendish crimes ever committed in the State will be fixed npon the proper persons before the trials are over.
