of getting into Bunces field Bunce EXPOS
tulated with Sizer several times, and then told

fences But Bunce soon found the sheep back
again; so he caught him, and with a knife
severed the cutcle or skin just beyond tho
gambril joint, and between the main cord and
bone, then thrust the other hind leg through
the aperture, and then put the sheep back
over the fence, which went off hobbIing on
three legs. Sizer soon after discovered the
sad plight his sheep was in, and he knew very
well who was the cause of it, but he concluded
to take things JcQQy gpd aMqjt some suitable
Bunce's old SOW broke into Steers field, when
he caught her, and with a sharp knife cut her
mouth from ear to ear, and turned her back.
When Bunce discovered this, he went to Sizer

THE HANDEL CENTENARY.-Whilei in Eng
land, the adopted country of this great must
clan, the centenary Of his birth was celebrated
in so imposing and magnificent a manner, the
event was not forgotten in his native town at
Halle, in Prussia, where colossal statue has
been inaugurated. The figure itself is ten feet
high, and it stands on a pedestal somewhat
higher. Handel is represented Gin his habit as
he lived" and in his hand he holds scroll of
music. The pedestal bears inscriptions, the
chief of which consists of the words, "Der Mes
sias Oratorium" commemorative of his great
work. The celebration was attended by many
thousands of people, and the whole day was
given up by the townspeople to general rejoic
ing.

ELIOT, THE APOSTLE, DESCRIBED BY A
DUTcH CLERGYMAN IN 1S60-The following
extract, taken and translated from an old man
uscript journal in the Dutch language, of two
clergymen OF this country who visited Ameri.
ca IN l619-0O, will probably be interesting
to your readers, in connection with the no.
tees which you have published of the Indian
Bible. 1t is an account of a visit made by
them to the Apostle of the Indians, and /
offer it to you as a contribution to your Eliot
ana IT. M
The Hague, May, 1859.
1850. July 8, Monday. We started from
BOSTON, about o'clock in the morning for
Roxbury which is about three-quarters of an
hours distance, in order to reach his early
home, because our schipper 1.-THE captain of
the vessel in which they returned home and
which sailed from Boston, had told us that
he would come at noon for his money; and SO
that the Rev. John Eliot might not be absent
from home.
When we arrived at his house he was not
yetabout. So we went to look little around
the village. We found that it was very right
ly called RockSbury, for it was all hills and
rocks. Upon our returning to his house he
received us politely, Notwithstanding he could
neither speak Dutch nor French, and we
could speak only little English Neverthe-
less, by means Of Latin and English together,
we managed to understand each other He is
seyenty-seven years old, has lived in these
parts forty-eight years, and has learned the
language of the Indians of this country We
asked him for an Indian Bible He told us
that IN the last Indian war all the Bibles and
Testaments were taken away and destroyed
or burnt, so that he had not been able himself
to save any; but that new edition was in
the press which he hoped would be much bet
ter than the first though the first edition was
not to be despised. We inquired ifw could
only purchase any part of either the Old or
New Testament and whether there was any
grammar of the language in English Upon
this he went and brought us the Old Tesla
ment and the sheets Of the new edition of the
New Testament, so that we obtained COM
plete copy of both. He also gave us two or
three parts of grammars. We desired to know
what we must pay, but he would not take
anything. We asked him if any good fruit
had followed his labors with the Indians
Yes said he, if you mean true conversion of
heart. We endeavor to make them not jew
ish proselytes, like the scribes and pharisees,
but true Christians. | thank God there are
Indians whom | know who are truly convert
ed OF heart, and whose profession | believe to
be truly sincere He accompanied us to the |
end OF the jurisdiction of Roxbury, where we
parted with him. "-HistoracaL 4Maga9ine.

Sun STROKES have caused many deaths
this summer. In Fitehburg, woman of "a
died of sun stroke, while returning from ber-
rying. This is nearly as singular a death as
that of the old Countess of Desmond, who fell
from cherry tree at the age of lao, and so got a
fever, that killedlher. 1t was hard that our
countrywoman should have had such a fate,
for she must have good stuff to have gone
a.berrying at "a, with the thermometer as
high as she was old. How many of the young
women of to-day would have dared to venture
out on a hot summers day on a useful pur-
pose ?-IraceVer.

The SUICIDES FuNERAL.-Rosa Hill, the
woman who committed suicide day or two
since was buried decently and respectfully
Some five or six of her companions were pres
ent, and one or two kind hearted neighbors
called in The clergyman selected the text,
"rhe wages of sin is death" as a basis for a
few solemn words of warning. He then de-
livered an affecting prayer, the gay and
thouohtless wantons with uncovered heads,
kneeling in respectful silence. TWAS a solemn
sight the corpse of one so young and beauti-
full, who had met so terrible death, her com
panions in sin upon their knees some of them
in tears, the solemn words from the man of
God, falling upon ears long unused to such
sounds, and spoken within walls which before
had echoed with the notes of revelry and guilt
and sin. After prayer, the coffin lid was re-

gaze upon her who, only short time before,
was the widest among that wild throng.
Many of them exclaimed, "poor Rose" and
many tear fell upon the corpse, genuine let
us believe, though it fell from wantons' eyes.
The coffin was placed in the hearse, the car
riages wound their slow way to the cemetery,
and the body was deposited in its nameless
Chicago Journal.
