A curious accident happened on the turn
pike in Chelsea, ON Saturday. As alarge wag-
on, loaded with chairs, beds, and other house
hold furniture, was proceeding on the road, il
was observed to be on fire, and in a few sec
onds, before even the woman who was in the
wagon could extricate herself, the wagon and
ali were enveloped in flames, and destroyed, be-
fore the driver had hardly time TO look round
A bed, which was pulled off and thrown on the
side of the road, communicated fire to the dead
grass and leaves, and spread so rapidly that il
was found necessary to ring the bells, alarm the
inhabitants, and get out the engines, TO put
out the fire. 1t appeared, on examination, that
there were some ''iricton' matches, as they
are called, in draw of bureau o. liable, a
mOng the furniture, and the motion of the wag-
on had produced ignition, and FIRE was thus
communicated to the load Gloucester Demo

Interesting TO WomGnkind. "A correspon-
dent of the N. Y. Evening Post, written from
Chicago, Illinois, describes very feelingly the
demand for young, handsome and interesting
helpmates in those regions-where the chords
of the creation are far more numerous than
samples of "womankind." A trip to the West,
is worth thinking of by our New England
damses in these hard times, when marriage
bids fair to be ceremony, which although Of
ten talked Of, will seldom be performed. The
following is an interesting extract from the
letter.
"lnteresting women are in demand here-for
such the market is sure one. understand
when the steamboats, arrive from Buffalo and
Detroit, that nearly all business is suspended;
and crowds of desolate, rich young bachelors
flock to the pier, and stand ready to catch the
girls as they land. Whether they use the
lasso, an accomplishment which some of them
have acquired in catching ponies on the Rocky
Mountains, or whether they take them by the
force of smiles am not informed, having just
arrived cannot speak from observations; but |
believe the result to be pretty universal sur
render"

A long nGp.-The Schoharie Republican
states that Mrs. Sidney, living about five
miles south of that village, after leaving the
tea table on Saturday, March 18th, sat down
in a chair and soon fell asleep She remained
in this situation till in the evening, when the
family endeavored to awake her which, after
resorting to every means in their power, was
found to be impossible, and they were COM
PEELED to carry her to bed, where she remained
apparently in sound sleep until the Oath of
the same month, when she appeared to take
some notice of what was passing in the room.
She appeared to sleep perfectly easy, and took
no food during the time.

The Albany Daily Advertiser says, that one
great cause of indigestion Is unquestionably
anxiety Of mind, If this be true, we think the
dyspepsia must be very prevalent about this
time. Those troubled with the blues as well
as dyspepsia, are advised to call at the RECESS
and purchase box of Mohat's Life Pills and
bottle of his bitters. They are all the go
in New York city with the broken merchants.

Of the 2Othsof August last, you viii con,

been injured and the public abused. My
reason for ofating this 10 the Telegraph
is, that l have been refused place in the
Waterman, 10 reply, by the Editors, for
reasons best known TO themselves. Sub
sequently, forthe first time, saw Mr.
Wellington, who manifested some sur
prise that should have been denied an
opportunity to reply, and requested that
would send him copy, for the purpose,
as l supposed, OF Obtaining its publication,

was authorized to apply for repeal OF
mr.. Straton's letter. Reference may be
had TO the Oath section Of the Probate act,
where it says, THAT if the guardian OF
guardians of any ward, appointed by any
Probate Court, shall reside out of the

account or to perform any decree of
such court, or shall become noncom-
puS mcntis, or otherwise incapable or
unsuitable to discharge the trust, such
court ay decree that the powers of such
Guardian or Guardians cease" Now
from the testimony that was introduced,
taken IN whole, if any Of the foregoing
! objections were sustained, | have vet to
acknowledge that | have committed an
"outragc"-such an one as you say has
not "come within the compass of my in
formation tor many years." You say
also, IL have given brief relation OF
the Mendon kidnapping" TO what ex-
tent kidnapping has been carried on in
that place, it is Tot my business TO enquire

If you, sir, by your wanton attack up

not. This is the humble prayer of your

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
From the Journal and ILminary.l
DECLARATIONS OF DEIST.
CINCINNATI, Jan. l9'

NtNCIN Jan. 1901.
In the beginning of this history, the
reader may be assured that he holds in
hand narrative Of facts OF very recent
occurrence.
On the morning of January 10, 1887, a
young man called at my door and said that
Mr.: Baker residing at the corner of Court
and Elm streets, desired to see me. In
about half an hour, went 10 the house
and found Mr.. Baker on his bed. With
this gentleman, Mr. Isaac Baker, had no
acquaintance. Those who knew him in
tTmatel y, speak of him as a gentleman,
upright IN his transactions with his fellow
men, and as sustaining good moral char
acter. inquired how long he had been
sick, and what his prospects were of re-
covery. He said that he had been sick
three or four weeks, and added, Il am bet
ter than have been, and expect to be
about gain in few days" This re-
mark should be lodged in your mind, that
you may not suppose he was excited by
the fear ofdeath Death, in his own view,
was not near.
Then, taking my hand, be said, "there
are one or two points sir, on which have
! desired to Converse, therefore have sent
| for you In, the first place, / wish ~te
know what evidence there. is that there
ever was such being>as Jesus Christ il
