nine o'clock at night, he had had to walk
10 or 12 mile,. He had driven during the winter 100
miles every six days, and had not had an evening to
ware the whole of the winter. He had gone out In
the morning at 10, had been wet through before it,
and had remained in hie wet clothes til 11 o'clock at
night. Through the winter he had *comely ever been
at hone till 11 o'clock at night. That meant that •

so young as be was 20 years ago. (Laughter) He

ten thousands times more for the Kevin that had

WESLEYAN HOME MISSIONS.

Sermon. were preached on Sunday. April Bth, morn-
ing &ha evening, in the Wesleyan Mimi, on behalf
of tbeee miesions, by the Hey. Taney Rising. In the
morning the rev. gentleman had the following selection
of hymns :-648, 870. 687, 572, and 857. The Lessons
were taken from the 3,1 shaver Proverb.; and 4th
chapter of Act.. Toe sermon, which IVY most
Inter-stint an I in.tructive throughout, was based on
thee° wo.d.--" By what power or by what name have
ye done this ?" taken from verse 7 in the CI chapter
of Act.. In introducing hi. subject, the than national
character of the aseembly was ably dealt with; also
the question Peter an !John were requestsd to answer,
and th objects thi. q 'nation was de.igned to under-
talre. Peter's boil answer was to be found in vests. 8,
9, 10, 11, an I 12 of the gam, chapter. After a
th wow h exposition of the past and present condition
of th poo (trip de, also the morel an 1 spiritual elate
he had been out wa. now in, c moltrie I by applying
the ambient to hi. hearer., avoiring them it we. theirs
in the preoe-it t recognise and value the'r
Saviour's teaching, &c., and to look for themselves
at the 'access att.n nog tn., same. In the afternoon,
at three &clods, the rev. gentleman gave the Sunday
School a very interesting address, and in the evening,
at 6.15, con ducted another service in the chapel. The

25. The Lesson was the 11th of Matthew, and the
text wait in the 28, 29, and 30 veal.' of the earns chapter.
The following Is • summary of the evening's discourse:
, —One of the most full and expressive invitation. in the
, Gospel; loving and tender, yet fall of earned. practice;
' whosoever will may come and Sod rest. The text
furnish.. us with two eugge.tions—The ritual, with
its burdensonienese, which had much increased, making
the religion of the period •ci .niplete burden. "lur
Lord not o .ly di.covered the burden of the religions
yoke,butwcs also in • position to „,eire it stay. It
W the human eye and heart of Jeans that so
eyrapsthised in this. What should we think of any
of our modern teachers if they w re to use such words
We shout I use them with di.guot. Yet Christ was
not speaking wholly as man. yet as man with men;
He was God with Go I. As far as it was plesible for
Him to be revealed to us, and, as it were, to enlarge
on His love, we have the words of the text—" COMO
unto me, an ye that labour," ke. There are burdened
ones among us; a burdened humanity, millions upon
millions who know not where to find the rest so mach
desired.—A collection was m 666 at the close.

SAD CASE OF SUDDEN DEATH.

An old man. named Henry Prows., of Fmlingtu, who
has for a long time been in • very Infirm rate, died
suddenly on Friday evening. lie OM OOMI to be leaning
MO 051 the railing" asar the Mill Midge, and then to fall
against the wall, striking his head. Ile was carried to his
home, but died shortly afterwards. The hairiest wu hold
I o-day (111 snday) at the Fordin don schoolroom, before Mr.
Henry Sym eels (deputy-coroner); Mr. A. Bishop was fore-
man of the lel.
Frances Distal said on Friday about half-pest Sr. she was
slanting near the Mill Bridge and saw the dee and sitting
on the rails. Ile was milking towards his boner, holding
by the rails, when be fell to the groun I with his hem
towards the wall. Bea thought his head stitch the wall.
While decnood was sitting on the rails he looked very
whits, and she beard him gr an whilst he was lying on
the ground. James Budd picked him up, and he was
carried to his house. She saw him there, when he WAS
unite insensible. The doctor was sent for at ODOL
Caroline Prows', daughter-in-law to the decease', said
it was nothing unusual lot him Ii keep his bed till one or
two. He had been very feeble for eam• time. He was
nearly 78 years old. lie said he had had • very bat night.
On Friday he came down about ono. and went out for •
little walk abed half.past two. He did not say where he
was going, end about half-put ft vs truces Prows* COMO
and told her be had fallen down near the Mill Bridge.
Meowed had had two feinting fin previously. the first
&boat ant yeare ago.) Witless went out, and he wee
brought indoor,. He groaned very mach, but did net
speak Dr. Aldridge was sent for, but he was not at
home. He died shortly aft Inwards lie was Uneatable
the whole of the time. Elbe did not notice any bruin b 7
the side of the head when hi was first brought in. She
saw it at inward& but there was no bl sod running from
it. After he wee dead, she sent for Dr. Aldridge again.
Same time ego Dr. Akkidge saw him, and gave him so in,
lotion for his legs, but said medicine would not do him
any good.
Dr. Aldridge wee called, and stated he WM at the
surgery when the first message cams, and was about to
start when a seemed menage came, alelleg he wed dead.
He was of opinion dun resulted from an attack of
syncope from debility and weakens. Thus was nothing
suspicions about the circtunstanees, and the blow on
to. heed might have accelerated death. Very little
would cause death in the ono of ugh an old man.
The Jury returned • verdict in socardance with Dr.
Aldridge' evidesne—that death resulted from syncope,
accelerated by aucassion of the brain, the result of the
injuries sustained by the fall.
