The church and state clashed in Oswego on the Lord's Day. A case of smallpox in a colored family was reported to the authorities last Satuday. The circumstances surrounding the case were aggravating when it was known that the family afflicted with the disease had attended a revival at a colored church and whites and blacks had been exposed. A revival was also in progress at the Methodist church (white).

The board of health con vened and ordered that the church es holding revival, services should be closed. This order affected both the whites and blacks. The blacks in awe of the uncertain power of the board of health were willing to obey, but concluded to follow the lead of their white brethem. The whites announced that they would continue tneir sunaay evening meetings. The bell was rung for the night services but no services swere held.

Remember that all back dues at that rate must include a subscription paid in advance for one year. Unless settled by that time the accounts will be put in the hands of a collector.

TIME TO QUIT. For several years we have been carrying a number of subscribers on our list who appear to pay but little attention to settling for their paper and unless these accounts are settled before Feb. 15th they will be put in the hands of some person who will make life weary for said subscriber until he settles for back dues.
