states : From present indications the

years millers sod owners of chopping
plants have charged 5 ante a bag for
chopping. Until within a year or eo ago
the formate were content to have the
grain ground coarsely and then 5 cents
waa a fair remuneratiou. Now, however,
the choppers state, the farmere want the
coreale ground very fine and owing to
the advance in fuel and the oast of labor
it is imperative that the ooet of chopping
must be increased, they maintain. It 10
probable that the eat will be raised to 7
oe01e, and at this figure, the ohoppere
say, there will be only a reasonable
profit.

al and Divine Experience. The men
addressed were men (I) Possessed of a
true spiritual life, and, (2) Riohly endued

Life" were (1) Communicated to them by
the Divine Wisdom, aud, (2) Impressed
upon them by the Divine power. III
A special Divine Guidanoe. Go, stand
and speak in the temple." They were to

boldness and holy confidence, (2) With
cleanses and fulneee, (3) With the firm
