We publish the following interesting mai
'rative of the wonderful cure effected b
means of the "Mad Stone" written by MI
Seth B. Stanton, of Appanoose county
Iowa. Mr. S. is reliable man, and hi
statement is entitled to full credence. Hi
son, T. H. Stanton, is well known to larg
number of our citizens. We suggest tha
similar stone should be procured by ou

EDlroRs OF HOME JOURNAL. Having
just been rescued from the most dreadfu
of all deaths-that produced by hypropho
bal will briefly state the case as it oc
CURED. On the morning of the 18th O.
March last, rose early, walked out to the
gate in front of my house, where was at
tackled by rabid animal-a mad cat. Il
sprang upon me with all the ferocity of q
tiger, biting me on both ankles, taking a
piece entirely out of my left ankle, cloth.
ing, flesh and all. l saw at once my hope
less condition, for the glnring eyes of the
cat told that it was in fit of i,ydrophobia.
l at once resolved to start forthwith to
Terre Haute, Indiana, expecting there TO
find Mad Stone. Accordingly in a few
hours myself and wife were under way,
crowding all sail for that port. On arriv-
ing at Alton, Illinois, we heard of a Mad
Stone seventeen miles from that place,
near Creighton; Macoupin county, lii, be-
longing to one Samuel Treble. We reach
Ell bis residence the eighth day after l was
bitten. For three days before we got there
l felt the terrible disease coming on; had
high fever; my eyes were red and swol-
len, with rumbling sounds in my head :;
found it difficult to swallow any liquid !;
my left leg turned spotted as leopard, to
my body, of dark green color, with
twitching of the nerves; had some parox-
ysms, with hard cramping; drank no wa
ter for eight days. The Stone was prompt
ly applied to the wounds. 1t stuck fast
as leach until it was gorged with poison,
when it fell off voluntarily. 1t was then
cleansed with sweet milk and salt and wa
ter and was applied again, and so on for
seven rounds, drawing hard each time,
when it refused to take hold any more
The bad symptoms then all left me and
the cure was complete, and I returned to
my family and friends with heart over
flowing with thanksgiving and praise to
God for his goodness and mercy in thus
snatching me from the very jaws Of death.
L have written this imperfect scroll hop
ing thereby to benefit suffering humanity,
and kindly request you to give it passing
notice III your excellent journal; and re-
main respectfully and truly yours

and saacers can accomplish but little with
out that indispensable thing towards house
keeping, namely, tea-kettle. There goe:
Mrs. Sause, with her "six knives and forks,
which she she gave most willingly, and
four tea spoons, which she was willing
to "lend," though she felt unable to give
them.
Mrs. Jarvis, wife of James, one of the
trustees, gave "gave half dozen cream
colored plates, aud DISH" The very co.
lor of the plates is transmitted to US. Mrs
HARRISON helps to furnish the table by
giving. "three burnt china plates, two chi
ma cups, and four silver teaspoons" The
excellent Mrs. Crosfeld, of precious memo
ry furnishes atwo table-cloths."
Mrs. Newton makes provision for the
preachers washing and shaving and there
fore sent ''wash- hand basin," ETC., Mrs.
Crook gave ''two towels" as well as ''two
pillow cases" annd "three table-cloths. =
Mrs. Lupton, in order that they might
sleep well, gave "bed-quilt," and Mrs.
Ten Eyck 'bed sprey;;" Mrs. Newtown

curtains" for the bed.
Chairs were also necessary. Mrs. He
key gave .'one Windsor chair and cllsh-
ion." This was the only chair belonging
to the preachers house, but Mrs. Taylor
kindly lent four chairs and "one night
chair" This made six chairs in all. There
were two "window curtains" color
was "green"-one lent by Mrs. Jarvis and
the other by Mrs. Benninger. One was
for the window fronting the street, and
the other the window fronting the church
yard. That the preache might behold
their natural faces in mirror, Mr.. Trigler
supplied them with "small looking glass;"
and Mrs. Moon, in order that the preachers
might take "little wine for their coun-
try's sake, and their often infrmities."

They went ia for the "ornamental' as
we'll as the <'useful," and therefore one fur
nished ''red rug" Nothing said about
carpets; they were not very fashionable in
those days; "three pictures" were supplied
by Mrs. Newton. Mrs. Harrison gave
one and Mrs. Taylor lent FIVE SO that there
were ninc pictures with which to adorn the
walls of the first house fitted up for the |
of Methodist preachers in
America.

the first parsonage, to show how it was

The First Methodist Parsonage
in America.
This was building in the antique styl'
of the Dutch, which stood partly in from
Of the chapel. They did not dignity i
with the name of parsonage for parsons
were scarce, but "the preachers house,
As this was the first house of ihe kind oc
cupied in America by Methodist preachers
we will be little particular in describing
at, and show how it was furnished. 1t was
little old building that stood upon one Of
the lots the trustees purchased from Mr..
Forbes, David Morris, who did much Of
the carpenters work to the preaching house,
repaired this house. This record in the
-Old book" is on page IL: "April 2s,
ITO, TO cash paid David Morris on accent
of work done the preaching house ard
dwelling house, e25."
The house was rough in its exterior, and
interior, and a very gloomy place, with
very few windows, and as cold as barn
in winter. 1t was better summer
house. than winter. They were not trou-
bled for want of ventilation. 1t was con-
nected with the chapel by a pair of stairs
in the rear.
The early Methodists in New York, set
a good example in furnishing their preach
cr's house, which it would be we'll for 9TH
ers to initiate.
Humble was the place and humble the
furniture.
A few articles they bought, some were
given and others lent by those who did not
feel able to give them. Seventeen persons
gave, and six lent articles of furniture for
the preachers house. They were mostly
women. The women have generally fur
nished the Methodist parsonages where
the preachers and their families are made
so comfortable. Paul makes honorable
mention of the Phebes and Driscillas, 'and
the honorable women not a few" and says:
"Help those women who labored with me
in the Gospel whose names are in the
Book of life." From that time, .devout
women have been ever ready to do good,
and the women of Methodism have not
oeen whit behind others in this respect.
Inc devout Hannahs and holy Elizabeths,
the humble Marys and active Marthas,
ought ever to be held in grateful remem-
brance.

One says, 81 can furnish this thing for it !"
another can lend an article not feeling able
to give it. The day is appointed for COL
lecting the things together. l see Mrs.
Sennet, with her "gridiron" and "pair of
bellows" vending her way to the parson-
age. There goes Mrs. Earnest, with her
'six cups and saucers," determined the
preachers should have good cup of tea
with which to refresh themselves after their
pulpit sweat. Mrs. Leadbetter sends her
tea "chest and canisters," knowing that
the cups and saucers no matter how beau
tiful, amount to but little without the tea.

Listen, listen, on the s:ai-,
Patter, paiter, little feet;
Little voices everywhere,
Come to greet thee, soft and sweet.
And an angel on the stair,
Comes to watch them playing there;
Sunny hair of wary gold,
Brown eyes sweetest meaning hold;
All are there.
See thy children on the stair;
Little children round the room
Chasing sunbcams on the wall.

Loves you better than when she
Watched the birds and aewers with ye

Thinkest thou of that little hand
OHce thou used to lead about,
In the doors and then Without
Little hand SO kind and free;
Now that hand is leading thee.
Golden chords there are to bind.
Angel thought to earthly mind;
She, the gentle, good, and kind.
Thinks on thee.
Thou hast yet four blossoms left;
Heavenly Father knowest best
Which most needed Heavenly rest.
Babie Charlie, laughing one,
Cheering thing to look upon;
Resembles her, the angel one.

Mischief Sam, that rogish boy.
Is he not pride and joy?
Which no sorrow can alloy7

Loving spirit sweet and shy;
Little hands which never tire,
Sitting whiting by the fire.
Carrie, with her doll and book,
Sitting by with knowing look;
Dark eyes beaming with the CLEANS
Which foreshadow future dreams.
See, an angel sister guides
Her bark down life's uncertain tide;
Storms may come. and i'll betide;
She's not alone.

Deepest JOY unto you given?

PROPOSED GREAT CHESS MATCH.-A
challenge has lately been sent by the New
Orleans Chess Club on behalf of Mr.. Nor
ply the American chess champion, to Mr..
Staunton, the English chess champion, for
a match to bo played in New Orleans this
summer, at five thousand dollars side, the
winner of the first eleven games to receive
the stakes. There is no probability, how
ever, of the match coming off this year.
Mr.. Morpby is prevented by family rea-
sons from visiting England this year and
Mr.. Staunton is chained down To labori-
GUS literary occupation which prevents his
absence for any considerable period.

An Internal Machine-.Incend
raiSm by Clock Work.

While Mr.. Henry Fischer was employed
on Saturday last, in removing Mr.. Tol
hurst's agricultural implements, patterns
and stock, from the Stephens Warehouse,
on the canal in South Akron, he found a
ngular box with external fixings indica-
ting mischievous intent. Fearing it might
prove an Orsini's bomb, or one of those
hair triggered death dealers such as are
packed up at Sebastopol, he threw it into
the canal.
On taking it out and inspecting it, the
box was found to contain the running works
of brass clock, so adjusted and fixed that
the revolution of the stem would draw a
bunch of friction matches connected with
a train of tissue paper and fine shavings
over the tube of . lamp wick. An oyster
can, cut and fitted, with leather top, and
filled with camphene, was placed under the
clock, being the lamp to furnish the blaze.
The box was enclosed in large box which
contained combustibles. A bottle of CAM
phene was near and some quarts of friction
matches.
When adjusted and the lamp lighted,
the clock would have run several hours,
according as it was wound up,) and grad
ually drawn the matches into the blaze,
when the combustion would have been i'll
Simultaneous. There can be no possible
doubt that the whole contrivance was for
the purpose of incendiarism, but the ulteri-
or motive is a mystery.
The building in which it was placed was
warehouse belonging to Roswell Kent,
Esq. Mr.. Tolhurst. whose stock was in
the building, was uninsured. Thus far the
purpose to be accomplished in setting fire
to that building is not discovered, and con
lecture is quite at fault.
The apparatus was ingeniously y got up,
but has failed of its object. Such discov
cry in Akron, in all the circumstances, is
calculated to suggest some curious refec
which, however, We leave readers
to follow out for themselves.-Akrom Bea-
con-.
In addition to the above, we learn that
the clock had been set and the lamp light
ed, but the operation failed, as is supposed
OH account of the lamp being not vented,
and Sc of course burning but few minutes.
