It was in a time of threatening danger, on the night of
me betrayal, when His enemies were plotting against
Him, when trouble was hard at hand, and His disciples
had need to consider to whom they should look for
help, it was then the words were spshen. To prepare
them for what was shortly to follow, and to teach them
how they should act when the danger came, no doubt
Jesus littered these words. What the blared Lord pro-
bably meant was, that their safety depended upon the
state of preparation for defence in which the danger found
them it wee all essential that they should be thus
prepared to defend themselves; nay, so necessary were

' at night, out of a place on the Quay nearly opposite the

observed a light on the Quay, and now missing it went to
see where it was, and found the old man struggling in the

KIyANG A mall AT yETIIINSTER.

.
A singular occurrence took place here on Sunday morn-
ing, the *IDA of October. It appears that .Japanese deer,
which was imported at great expense by the Earl of
Ilchester, and which was so tame that it would eat out of
anyone s hand, had escaped from Mellsury park, and in the
morning in question was bend by • man of the name of
Matthew Brake, who is living with his cousin, farmer
John Brake, and has a thrne certificate, and takes upon
himself not only to shoot over his own cousin's farm, but
also over gil the lands in the neighbourhood, to the great
annoyance of all partiee. On the maniac in queation the
said Mattlthw Brake found the Japanese deer close to the
Yetminster railway station, and immediately went to the
house of his employer, farmer John Brake, for he gun, and
shot the deer, and cut its throat before • large number of
persons who were attracted to the spot by the sound of the
gun on the Sunday morning. The deer was skinned, and
it is said sent to London. only • certain part being kept
to entertain a select porty of the friends of farmer John
Brake. The Earl of Ilcheater is naturally very much
vexed at the circumstance, anti will no doubt take proper
steps to punish the offenders. This, it is believed,is not
the Itort or crowd deer that has bow killed by the same
Party.

The annual meeting of the members of the almve insti•
tution was held in the lecture-room. There was • very
good attendance. Mr. A. Reynolds, a member of the
remmitlor, having been voted to the chair. called nisei
the secretary to read the report and statementof account..
It War slated that the year had closed with a balance id
£l,l due to the treaairer, and that a little over 1:3 WAS the
proportion of this deficiency which belonged to the
Period under review. The cause was • falling off in the ,
number of members. The committee considered it their I
first duty to get clear of debt, and to thie end they hod I
determined to spend no looney on lectures during the ,
present season, and also to recommend some retsenche-
macnt
in the papers. They had been enabled to make some
, considerable additions to the circulating library by the
unsolicited kindness of the late member for the Istrough,
, Mr. T. A. Mitchell, who had always generoimly contra-
, baited to their funds. They h.l received a requisition,
I signed in accordance with the rules, asking them to
; mavens, a special meeting an consider the wirisailoility of
opening a room for conversation and games, end in which
