Rheumatic patients who have been in

oning such insane procedure, and using as a substitute Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which will infallibly afford them the much desired relief, and is absolutely safe. This benign vegetable depurent cools the blood by expelling from it the inflamatory elements which give rise to mialadies of a rheumatic and gouty type, and rectifies diserdered conditions of the stomach, nervous system and bowels which usually accompany them. As rheumatism has a tendency to attack the heart, the desirability of an early resort to the Bitters is obyious, since the danger is increased by every moment of delay. ^......-

The Second Anniversary of the Y. M. C- A. in This City.

Messrs. Munhall and Present.

Sahimis

The Congregational Church was last nigh* well filled. The anniversary exerercises were opened by singing "Hold the Fort," followed by prayer from Rev. Henderson.

President Byers read an extensive report of th work done. PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR'S REPORT.

The President and Board of Directors of the Young Men's Christian Association, respectfully present to the friends of the Association and to the citizens generally, this, their second annual report.

Our Association was organized about 2 years ago by our devoted Iriend Dr. L. VV. Munhall. whom we properly and with affection regard as our Spiritual Father, for he not only brought us into existence, but he has watched over us and cared for us, and been our counsellor and in ways more than we can enumerate, helped to sustain us. By his assistance in raising means, followed by the entrgetie work of Prof. Byers, our former President and his associate directors with the generous support of our christian pastors and people, our association has been enabled to secure commodious rooms in the Marble Block, No. 624)^ Main street, and have them furnished in a comfortable and somewhat attractive manner, one as a reading room, and the other lor prayer and business meetings of the association.

The use of a library of nearly 300 volumes, many of them very useful and desirable books, was generously donated ua by D. W. Minshall, Esq., for which we now publicly tender our thanks. These books have been conveniently arranged on the book shelves of the Reading Room, where they remain for the free use of our citizens. In addition to this a considerable number of unbound volumes of the leading magazines of our country, such as Harper's, Scribner's, the Atlantic, the Ladies' Repository, Putnam's, the Galaxy, Littell's Living Age, etc., have been donated to us by friends of the Association, for which they are one and all tendered our thanks. Through the liberality of the poblishers of our two daily papers, the GAZETTE and the Express, who have donated to us their exchanges, we have been enabled to place on our files the New York, Cincinnati,

DENNISON DARLINGS. DENNISON, ILLS., May I,

1877,

It has been some time since the Dennison darlings appeared in your paper, and therefore we thought it would be a good time to give a few items that have taken place in this vicinity. Last Saturday we were at Peck's Court at McKeen, listening to a law-suit between Dr. Heusly and a druggist, Charles Streets, involving the right to a skeleton buggy—Thos. L. Orndoff and Emmet Lewis, both good lawyers, for the plaintiff, and John L. Rvan for the defence. Dr. Hensly sola the buggy to Mr. Streets for $95 about three months ago, and now he thought it was too cheap and tried to get it back. Thomas and Emmet tried very hard to recover the buggy for Hensly, but Jfohn Ryan was too hdavy for them this time, although Emmet made a forty-five minute speech before the jury, in which he criticised Dr. Sadler's testimony, making the doctor very wrathy, and they camp very near fighting.

nity to consul' all the leading newspa pers of the country. Toward the close of our first year, Dr. Munhall conducted for us a series of Union reyival meetings, long to be remembered in Terre Haute, in which resulted in some hundreds of conversions and accessions to our christian churches, and which in the opinion' of many, "broke up the fallow ground" in Terre Haute and made ready the field for the glorious revival lead by Rev. Hammond the past winter. Shortly after those meetings closed, Rev Munhall held a financial meeting for us, and succeeding in raising a subscription amounting to over $900, to enable us to employ a general Secretary, and through his influence we were enabled to secure the services in that capacity of our friend J. K. H. Sammis, who during his ten months residence with us won *he heart of all who made his acquaintance, which includes a large proportion of our people.

So at the beginning of the present year our Asso:iation was firmly established with neat and comfortable quarters, a reading-roam supplied with a large amount of good and attractive reading matter, and with our genial friend Sammis energetically working in the harness of general secretary.

Bro. Byers having been re-elected President, the Association with its increased force went on with its work— the work of saving those in danger from falling, and reclaiming the lost and leading them into brighter and better ways.

In prosecuting this work we have borne in mind that our Association is not a church and can not take the place of church, and that its mission is not to work independent ot or in opposition to the churchcs, but to work in harmonv with them, always and everywhere aiding and strengthening them so far as lies in their power. With this view we have worked in localities not occupied or reached by the churches and among classes not reached by the churches as far as possible, and always at times not interfering with church services. During the entire year the daily noon prayer meetings at the rooms have been kept up with varied attendance of from two or three faithful, ones to fifteen or twenty. A considerable part of the year Sunday afternoon meetings werp held at the rooms, and the remainder ot the year were held at the Market Hall and at the several churches in the city. Services were also held during the year, more or less frequently at the following places: Sugar Grove, Fort Harrison,

West Vigo, Union, Church, Grover Chapel, Mont Rose, Upper Rolling Man Maxville, Nail Works, Plymouth Chapel Poor Farm, Union Depot, also myill cottage meetings in all parts of the city, and street meetings when the leather permitted, in all, more than six hundred prayer and gospel meetings with an aggregate attendance

with

of about 30,000. In "October a sewing

jjool was organized by the iadies of

that association, with Mrs Frank Myers as superintendant, which has held a ses-

ance of about sixty, mostly girls who have no other means ot learning to sew. Material is furnished for them to work upon itftd when made, the garments are given to those that need them.

On the

18th

of last January, Brother

Sammis having received a call to engage in the state Y. M. C. A. work, tendered his resignation as general secretary which was accepted by ,the association with many earnest expressions of regret. Since then the Association has prosecutedits work as best it could without the aid of a general secretary.

In March Prof.

Byers

tendered hit. res

ignation as president, which was accepted by the association, and thereupon^the

5®

present imcumbent was elected and immediately entered upon the duties. The following is a Statement of the funds received and paid out daring the year:

We are indebted to Bro. Sammis a balance on salary of $245. To paythis we have yet unpaid subscriptions (made for that purpose more than a year ago) to the sum of $125.

Our current expenses are paid up to date, and nearly enough subscriptions provided to pay the same to the close of the current calendar year. We about need $100 to enable us to subscribe for the leading current literature.

Mr. Sammis, the old secretary made a little speech which was listened to with attention.

DR. MUNHALL,

always a popular speaker here, next came forward. He sang "Gleaner, where hast thou gleaned to-day?"

He then spoke of "Life, and its Praise of the Great Creator." The Centenary quartette sang Saviot-, breathe an evening prayer."

Mr. Rovse closed, thanking the audence for the attention given. The meeting was a very successful one.

OBITUARY.

WILLIAM GANAWAY BFTOWNLOW, Indianapolis Journal. Special dispatches from Knoxville,Tennessee, announced the sudden death of Hon. W. G. Brownlow, which event toox place on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Brownlow's career was a remarkable one. He was a native of Virginia and the child of humble parents, and being left an orphan at an early age, was compelled to earn his own livelihood from his youth. He learned the trade of a carpenter, but when twenty-one ysars ot age he entered the Methodist ministry and labored as an itinerant for ten years. He was one of those who believed there was nothing incompatible in serving the Lord and at the same time serving his country by the advocacy of political doctrines the triumph of which he believed essential to her welfare. From his earliest manhood he took a deep interest in national politics, being attached to the Whig party, and hating the Democracy with a hatred so thoroughly ingrained in his system that nothing could eradicate it. In 1837 he became ie editor of the Knoxville Whig, and retained control of it until its publication was suspended by the outbreak of the late civil war. Through the medium ot this paper he became known to the public throughout the country, his peculiar style of handling a subject which fell under his hands marking his articles for a wide circulation through the medium of friendly journals. So combative was the spirit which shone through all his writings that the sobriquet of "The Fighting Parson" was applied to him In addition to his newspaper a-ticles Mr. Brownlow gave to the world a number ot pamphlet publications on political and religious subjects, and in 1858 he held a public discussion, in the city of Philadelphia, with Rev A. Pryne, on the subject "Ought American slavery to be perpetuated?" Mr. Brownlow took the affirmative of the question, and argued in favor of the perpetuation of slavery both upon moral and economic grounds. When the war of the rebellion broke out Mr. Brownlow promptly allied himself with the friends of the Union, and his fearless course in defense af the National government did more than dny thing else to develop and sustain that strong Union sentiment among the hardy East Tennesseans which the Union forces were able to profit by when the progress of war carried them into that region. In the winter of 1S61 Mr. Brownlow was arrested by the secession authorities on a charge of treason to the Confederate government, and confined in the Knoxville jail until March of the following vear. Thi3 long and irksome confinement laid the seeds of the decease which eventually terminated His life, but it could not bend or break his iron will, and the Confederate authorities were glad to get rid of him by escorting him beyond their lines and turning him loose. After Nashville fell into the hands of the Union troops he leturned to Tennessee. In 1865 he was elected governor of the state, and at the close ot his term was elected to the senate, his term in that body expiring in 1S75. His health was such that he was never able to take any active part in public affairs from the time of his entrance into the senate. At the close of his senatorial term he retired from public life. Mr. Brownlow was one of that peculiar style of politicians who aimed to carry a point less by argument than by force. He had an opinion on every subject that engaged public attention, and never hesitated to express it—nor was he at all choice in the selection of phrases in which to place his views before the public. It must be borne in mind, however, while criticising Mr. Brownlow's style that he wrote for people who possessed but little refinement—men who believed in speaking the truth in the plainest language, and thought half the strength in an argument lay in the vigor of the language in which it was clothed. Under different circumstances, and with the beneSt of a different training. Mr. Bro vnlow would have befen »ns of the leaders and directors of opinion tor the country, instead of the narrow valley of the Holston. Whatever faults his enerais could charge him with, it could never be said that he was dUhonest or a coward, and when the struggling Union sentiment of East Tennessee needed a champion, it found a brave and uncompromising one in the Fighting Parsons of Knoxville.
