OB1rrARY-Wc announced, few days since,
the severe illness of DR.. Thomas E. Bond, ST.,
formerly of Baltimore, and for several years the
principal editor of the New York Christian Adj
vocatc and Journal, the leading paper of the N.
E. Church We were not surprised, therefore,
to learn that he finished his useful career on Fri
day. DIR. Bond was MarElander by birth-a
native, we believe, ofHarford county-and came
to Baltimore about the year 1912. He pursued
the practice of medicine for many years, being a
portion of that time city physician. He was .
very prominent and useful member Of the n, E.
Church and local preacher. Some years since
he was, appointed by the General Conference to
the principal eiitorship Of tho Christian Advo-
cate, the duties of which position he performed
with distinguished ability, but, on account of
declining health, ne believe, abandoned the cdi-
torial chair for brief season. His health be-
coming at least mcasnrably restored, he yielded
to the solicitations of the church clergy and lai
ty toresume his position as editor of the Aivo-
cate, which he held during the last ten years,
and.up to the period Of his death. The Adyo-
cate has sustained heavy loss in the death of
DIR. Bond, for he was a man of great versatility
ofatalept He lived to enter his 10Th year
Bait Patriot.

or arc conquered and led along like captiyes,
some by Tntempcrancc, and others by AFRO
sance, here by GovetousnesS, andthere by Vain
GLORY or any other of the Vices; whose chains
they are in vain striving to get loose FROM that
they may escape, and getto the place OF rest;
so that their whole life seems to be nothing but
ono Intellectual struggle And all this they suf-
fer from installing the right way, and forgetting
the orders given them by the directing Genius.
S-That appears to me to be the case, but
don't so clearly see, why the Virtues lead the
person that has been crowned, back to the place
that he had left
o. G-Because hehad never formed a correct
idea of the things that had passed there, but at
best had only guessed, aud doubted about them.
for, from the draught Of ignorance, and error
that he had taken at his entrance, he imagined
things that were good to be bad; by which means
he had lived wretchcdly as indeed all do while
they are there. But now that he has obtained
the knowlcdgeof what is really good, he can
both live happy HIMSELF and can see how very
unhappy the othersare.
Sand when he has taken full view there
what does he do, or whittier does hcgo?
o. C-NThereyer he pleaSes, for every where
is he as safe as one that is got intothe Gorycian
cave; so that wheresoever he goes, he lives in.
full security, and undisturbcd happiness; and
is received by all others with as much happiness
as good physician is by his patients.
&-And has he no longer any dread of these
females which you called monsters; nor any ap-
prehcnsion ofbeing hurt by them!
o. G-Not in the least; for he will never any
more be molcsted either by Anguish, or Sorrow,
or Intemperance, or Covetousness or Poverty,
or any other evil, for he is now master of them
ALL and superior to every thing that formerly
gave him trouble. As they who practice the
catching of vipers, are never hurt by the bite of
those creatures, which is so venomous and even
mortalto others, because they have an antidotc
against their poison; so he is safe from any in
fucnce of these evils because he has the ontdotc
against 'neiI 1r,,n.7,,5.5 to-,no.ro,,N

Tue BIC SLEIGH RrDE-Yesterday, by previ-
GUS agreement, Medina, Cuyahoga and Summit
Counties met, By MISREPRESENTATION,
at Richfeld, to dispute the right ofpossession to
the flag previously won by Summit County from
.Cuyaboga, for getting up the largest sleighing
party. The Cuyahoga people were very conf.
dent yesterday morning Of out-numbering all
competitors, and so assured were they that they
procured squad of artillerymen to take out
gun, that they might announce to the listening
world that the Cuyahogas had won the field
but, alas! Sthe race is not to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong" and the poor artillerymen,
after dragging their heavy gun through fifteen
miles ofdeep snow drifts, and being soused into
four foot snow banks several times by the.up-
setting of their carriage arrived at the village
Just in time to learn that Cuyahoga's honors
trailed in the-snow, and the Banner still hung
from SUBMITS outward wall, untouched. Guy
ahoga assembled procession of ISL four-horsc
teams, occupying over two and half miles of
road; Medina l40; and Summit III. One who
was there says it would be within the truth to
estimate the number ofpersons at 10 to each
sleigh-the total number. therefore, meeting at
Richfield, was at least 1920; the number of hor-
ses attached to the sleighs were 1,848, and the
cost estimating at S15 for each sleigh, was near
ly $1,000.
WHO ever heard of sleigh ride the 14th of
March in Ohio, over roachEays packed with more
than two feet of snow! We arc informed that
apparently no impression has been made by the
sun on the snow in the country, and it is at least
two and a half feet deep on the averagc.-CIerc-
