II will be recollecled that this individuals
name was brought before the public in the
Telegraph, in connection with the Conven-
tion at Granville; and thata communication
was afterwards published from his uncle in
Salem, N. X, making some statements rel
alive TO his course. I saw friend Church
at Huntington, week before last. He tho't
that, on the showing of his uncle, ought
TO have considered him unfortunate, rather
than otherwise. Perhaps ought He adj
mits the truth of his uncle's statements
except the one in regard 10 the death of his
mother. On this point he says his uncle is
mistaken. He says his mother did not die
until after he left home. Says his derange-
ment, touching the "Susan Williams . az

disposed to put the best construction on
everything in the case, and would lay moth

me favorable impressions as TO the goodness

Terrible Collision Of Vessels.

SCHOONER ACORN sUNK.-A melan-l
choiy disaster occurred about II o'clock |
last evening. The schr Emily, Capt. |
Chase, bound from Vernillion 10 ST.. Cath
rlnes with a load of wheat, ran into the
chr Acorn, Capt. Cobb, bound from
Buffalo 10 Chicago, with passengers and
merchandise, and so serious was the COL
ilslon that the latter sank in fifteen min
utes, In ten fathoms water, the crew aud
passengers escaping with nothing but the
clothing on their bac KS. One young
man, on Engllshman just arrived 10 this
country, missing, whether carried down
with the vessel or lost by jumping over
board not known to the Survivors. =
Capt. Cobb describes the crash and the
scene which followed as terrific. The

and neither vessel was described from the
other until nearly afoul. The man atthc

There is here and-there one who can not
conscieniiously - as they say, and as they
have probably persuaded themselves - take
the Telegraph, because Of the Editors views
of the ordinances. Most Of these same In
dividuals have no conscientious scruples
against patronizing vile and corrupting po-
iticdl prints. But they are afraid The Tel
egraph is going to remove the foundation on
which they have stood. Now il should be
remembered that the Telegraph is open TO
both sides. And with this fact in view,
whence comes their fearfulness2 Do they
believe they have got the truth? If they
do, are they afraid it will suffer from free
and open encounter with error? Are then
ready 10 abandon free discussion And
where is the secarian, UNCONVENTIONAL print
tina; admits of free discussions Not one
can be found on the face Of the whole earth.
The fact that the seciarian organizations are
shrinking from investigation, and are pro-
scrlbing and persecutingthose who are in
vesiigalin2 their claims TO confidence and
support, is alone an overwhelming consid-
Grafton against them. 1t shows that they
are afraid OF the light of discussion and in
vestigation. Dear Brethren: Nothing but
truth will do US good. If we are confident
we have got it, we need not fear the ordeal
OF investigation. If we find ourselves fear
full, i is the best Of evidence that the ground
wherein we stand needs examining thor

Francis Highly Improved Manifold Writer.
DY this wonderful invention letter and dupli-
Id cate can be written in one operation, with
more ease and greater facility than single letter
with an ordinary pen and ink.
To. the mercantile, professional and travelling
part of community this truly great invention is OF
infiIie value, as it is a great saving of TIME,
TROUBLE and Expense. he principal advantage
to be derived from the manifold writer Is THAT a
COPY of any document may be kept without any
additional trouble to the writer, aud without any
necessity of using either an inkstand or pen.
The instrument used for writing is an agate point,
con sequeI thy il never wears by use. For banks,
insurance offices, merchants, men of business gen.
erally lawyers, post-masteTs, editors, reporters,
public officers, and all who may be desiTous of
preserving copies of their letters, documents, &c ),
with an immense saving of time, and the salts
fiction of having an erdct copy of what they have
written, this will be found invaluable.
Francis Manifold Writer has now been in sue
cessful operation two years, during which time
The proprietor has had the pleasure of receiving
the unfeigned appreciation of all whose observa-
| ton il has come under. At the late Fair of the
American Institute, the merits of the article were
/ examined into by three of the most able chemists
/ in The country, who pronounced il to be very
ingenious and useful continuance, and not liable
to change color by exposure to air, moisture, OF
I chemIcai agents. consequently medal sndS
/ awarded by the Institute.
The proprietor has lately made great improve
ments in this article. The paper IS of the best
quality manufactured In the United States, being
made for The Manifold Writer expressly to his or
der. The ruling of them which has tor some
i time been thought impossible, has at length been
brought 10 perfection, for which copyright has
been secue ed The copying books are bound in a
variety of forms and sizes, varying 10 price from
1 SO cents upwards.
Stationers and country merchants in general,
will find it to their advantage to procure the arti-
cle as they meet with ready sale. A liberal

TWO MINISTER'S STRUCK WITH LIGHT
MING AT THE COMMUNION TABLE.

A correspondent at North Stamford Conn gives
us tho following narratives:
North Stamford, July s, 1912.
To the Editor Of the N. Y. Observer:
Sabbath day, the Sd inst. was solemn dav TO
the people in this parish. The morning devolons
in the house of God were ended, the exercises of
the sacramental feast had commenced, the bread
broken and distributed, the cup taken when the
house in which we Were assembled was struck
with lightning. The venerable Plat Buffet, Of
Stanwich, was present and assisted the pastor Rev.
Henry Fuller, in the exercises He had poured
out the wine, taken the cupand was giving thanks
to God when he and Mr. Fuller were Instantly
Frustrated to the earth.
The groans and shrieks which Instantly broke
forth from the congregation it is utterly impossible
for me to describe; and yet there seemed to per
wade the assembly the most solemn awe; all ap
peared TO feel MS if standing the very verge Of
death. The bursting thunder, the vivid lightning
without, the thrilling within, contributed 10
render the gloom most terrific.
Mr. Fuller was not seriously injured, though
feeling considerably affected in some limbs. Mr.
Buffer is very seriously injured We supposed
him dead FOR some ten minutes; no signs of life
were apparent until water was procured and
thrown upon hIm. lie still suffers great distress
a The stomach, takes food. but is perfectly ra
tional.
Tho electric fluid entered the chimney top dc
scended TO the stove pipe, and exp ded immedi

Some others were slightly affected, though no,
seriously.
The Congregational meeting house in New Ca
naan struck abou, the same time, and several
knocked down. An academy and dwelling house
in the same town, and dwelling IN this parish
were considerably injured.
