WHAT PREACHERS SHOULD BE.

The Rev. Henry Ward Bcccher, recent.
Iy delivered a sermon in Washington, in
which he shadows forth the qualifications
that 60 to make successful minister of
the Gospel
ACHURCH on AN EGCLEss NEST T.-True
ministers must know no fear. He must
be a warrior. He must not preach to the
Justice Of the Peace or the Senate. He
must 90 forth and attack wrong wherever
he may find it. Does he say it is peril.
Gus Why, it is perious to live. When
preachers shall do their duty faithfully
there will be less dogs to bark They are
told 10 mind their own business, and not to
be medlers. But the minister who never
creates an agitation, is like the husband.
man who never plows, because he may
rip up some old roots. 1t is a PECULIARLY
Of the Gospel that it don't mind lis own
business. It is aggressive. 1t don't wait
for man 10 come 10 it for relief, but it goes
out 10 find man wherever he is. A church
may have all truth in its creed, but if it
sits on its cggIess nest, aud never incum.

Death Of an Editor from Pear of Cholera.

Mr. Wilson, one OF the editors Of the
Reform banner, at Hamilton, Canada
West, died a few days ago. 1t appears
he had a great fear Of the cholera, and i
is said that since the appearance of the
disease there, he would never 90 out of
his house, except with bottle Of cholera
mixture in his hand, and u parcel OF chic
ride Of lime in his pocket, and he regula-
ted his diet and the economy Of his fami.
ly ia strict conformity 10 the rules laid
down bv the board Of health, but unfortu.
na,elv his children, three beautiful boys,
could not be restricted when they got out
Of sight, and they were seized with chol-
era from eating green fruit. Soon after
bis wife was taken and died. Seeing the
approaching dissolution Of his wife, poor
Wilson became quite frantic. He rushed
out Of the house, leaving all his sick chill.
dron behind him, and went TO a lodging
house up town, where he also died next
dav, from nothing else than downright
fear The poor man was panic stricken,
and if It had not been for the attention Of
a friend, the family might have been left
altogether to themselves. One Of the
children has since died.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENF-A most terri
BILE calamity occurred atfhe papar nil of
Messrs. Thompson, Hanna & Sons, this
morning about 10 O'Clock, a new well
which had been sunk TO the depth of some
forty feet, cavcd in, burying Mr.. Rob-
son and his son, and small boy named
Spence. The two first named individuals
we're al work at the bottom Of The well, and
were about coming out when the bank
commenced giving way at the bottom
Young Spence was sitting at the time at
the top Of the curb, about two or three feet
down, and was carried down with the ial-
ling earth. Up 10 the time we left the
scene Of the disaster, 3 P, NJ, none of The
bodies had been reached. Those enga-
god 10 removing the earth labored under
great disadvantage, in consequence Of the
earth caving in, and some time was con
sumed in getting ready and putting inio
the well a large curb, y as to support the
banks. |; is expected that the body OF
young Spence will soon be reached, as be
cannot be a great way down.
The other two unfortunate individuals
il is supposed are at the bottom OF the well
and various conieclures were ahoai as to
their condition. Some are OF opinion that
they may be alive, being projected BY the
frame work which surround the sides, but
this seems to Us 10 be hoping against hope.
Two or three days must elapse before the
bodies can be reached.

A Moment of Terror.

An exciting scene took place at ball
some where in Mississippi last summer.
Among the persons present was a young
lady who had a great horror Of snakes,
and after dancing u while she was great
ly alarmed by feeling a sensation as
though serpent had fixed itself beneath
the folds OF her dress. GrasPng the
head oflhe monster tightly in her hand
she screamed aloud for assistance. A
hasty consultation among the caImest Of
the ladies' was held, when 1t was deter
mined that Dr. Trlnson who was present
should be called to their assistance. He
was quickly on the spot and being n man
OF uncommon courage, he was not many
moments within the circle OF weeping and
half Iainting females before he had caught
