THE LARGEST CHURCH AVID BELL.

1t is stated that the largest church on this
continent is the French cathedral of Notre
Dame, in Montreal, Canada. 1t will conn
fortabIy seat 10000 persons, and on the oc-
casion Of any great religious ceremony, will
hold $4,000. II has only been completed
within the last few years. The bell lately
hung in one Of the towers of this Cathedral,
is also the largest bell upon the continent
of America, and with some few exceptions,
such as the great bell at Moscow, and the
great Tom at Lincoln, England, is the lar.
gest bell, now hanging, in the world.

THEORY OF THUNDER STORM

| In an article on this subject, the New
York Evening Post. utter giving its theory
of the cause, thus alludes to some of the
freakish effects of lightning ,.. ...y...
| 1t is commonly thought that there is more
danger from lightning in the country than
in cities, but statistics would seem to show
u greater number Of accidents from light
Mug in cities than in localities of correspond
ing size in the country. About fifteen years
in a storm Of two hours duration, lightning
struck in thirty different places in this city
and suburbs. w. .. 49,. a. =, .ssrg'
1t is probab!e that upwards of City per-
sons are annually killed in the United States,
and it mnv be truly said that in most cases
these deaths are the result of rashness or
earelessness on the part Of the victims. 4
great many persons are killed by taking re-
fuge from the rain under the trees in open
fields. Their presence renders the tree much
more liableto be struck, because the human
body is better conductor than the tree, and
it is therefore safer to get wet than to run
| the risk consequent upon taking shelter in a
thunder storm. =@" '.5 "
In a building, the safest position is q hor-
! izontal one in the middle of room, and
care should be taken that the body he not
placed between two good conductors, such
as, for example, a mirror in one room and
q stove funnel in the room beneath, because
lightning in passing throug II a building Sc
lects the best conductors, and occasions de-
struction on its way from one good conduc-
tor to another. Several years since a per-
son was killed while standing in front Of q
mirror by u discharge of lightning, which
passed across the quicksilver coating of the
glass, thence down the body to the floor and
through that to a stove funnel Immediately
beneath. Mr.. Hatch, of fPougbkeepsie, was
killed while seated in chair on the piazza
Of his house with his head leaning back
against the bell knob. Persons have been
killed while standing at door or window
during thunder storm. A man was killed
in West Newton Mass, some years ago,
while sitting between boiler inside build.
ing, and lightning rod upon the outside,
the discharge leaving the rod and passing
through his body on its way through the
building. Its proper to add, that this light
ming rod was insulated by glass fastenings,
and that there is no reason to doubt the efi-
cacy Of lightning rods when they are con-
structed and applied on proper scientific
principles. Protecting buildings from light.
ming, however, is something like prescribing
for sick person, the success Of the
prescription in either case depending, under
Providence, on the degree Of knowledge,
skill and experience possessed BY the physi-

Bronchitis &C., very much reduced the pro-
portion Of deaths from consumptive diseases
in this country. The Pills are as good as the
Pectoral and will cure more complaints.
Everybody needs more or less purging.-
Purge the blood from its impurities, Purge
the bowels, Liver and the whole visceral sys-
tenn from distractions. Purge out the diseases
which fasten on the body, to work its decay
But for diseases we should die only Of old
age. Take antdOtes early and thrust it from
the system, before it is yet too strong to
yield.
Ayers Pills do thrust out disease, not only
while it is weak but when it has taken strong
hold. Read the astounding statements Of
those who have been cured by them from
dreadful Scrofula, Dropsy, Ulcers, Skin Dis
eases, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia
