measures for the formation of Musical
Association in this village.

Remarks explanatory of tho object of
the meeting was made by G. w. Pratt,
w. ii. Winchester and others.
On motion committee consisting of
G. w. Pratt, VIM. H. Winchester, A. D..
Andrews, S. W. Dickinson and ]. T..
Pratt, were appointed to draft Constitu-
ton and Bylaws for the Association and
said committee were instructed to report
in one week.
In answer to inquiries as to the char
acter OF the association, qualification for
membership DC, various gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves of opinion that it was
highly desirable thai Instrumental music
should be included as well as vocal; that
the object of the association was not to
teach music to new beginners, but to
practice it with those who had already
acquired some proficiency in the art; and
that, for Instance, qualification of mem
bership should be, the ability to read plain
music at sight.
1t being probable that portion of the
time at the next meeting can be devoted
to musical exercises, it was deemed adj
visable that the ladies and others DESTROYS
of becoming members be invited to be
present. G. W. Pratt was requested to
conduct the exercises of the evening.
The books used viii be the " Hallelu-
jah" or sJubilee," perhaps both.

An Example for Christians.


On Friday last, a sweet little girl of
some eight summers, came into our Off
ice and commenced conversation with our
office boys. The earnestness with which
she conversed attracted our attention and
we learned that she was endeavoring to
make dtem promise to attend Sabbath
school the following Sunday. At first
she received very discouraging answers
but neither discouraged nor discounted,
continued with increasing zeal until their
obstinacy was removed and the promise
obtained. 1t occurred to us, that if all
protesting christians would labor with the
zeal and sincerity that this little rcformer
did, their professions would be better
exemphfed, and much more good accom-
plished. 1t taught Us a lesson, and we
trust that life so usefully and beautiful
" begun will bring forth'fruit equal to the
promises of the blossom.-Eau CLAIR

1T is the glory of the Protestant
Church that its early founders were pro-
test-ants. They protested against the
usrped authority of the Romanist church
protested against the belief Of certain
of its dogmas, and boldly assumed the
right to think and believe for themselves.
Now, what any church or any individu-
ais claim for themselves, should be freely
accorded to others, and any attempt to
taboo the i,yfdel, the socialist, or the spir

RODS below the depot. Several of the passengers
and number Of boys from the village and Mr.
Tbomp.on's school gathered upon the plank bridge
which covered that portion Of the culvert not oc-
copied by the track, when the rotten structure
gave way, precipitatipg pine persons into bed OF
rocks over twenty feet below, most OF whom are
more or ess injured with broken leg' arms, ankles,
and heads. Mr Edward Arnold OF North Adsms,
Mas il is feared cannot recover. lie Is pupil
of Mr. Thompson. and went TO the depot TO meet
his father whom he expected on the train.
Well. VII. il To blame IN this case Let the
people iudge here are the facts: Originally there
was bu, one track when the second track was laid
the cuyert was not wldered, there being just room
enough for the two tracks, this left space about
twelve feet WIDE extending from one aoutment to
the other, forming a half circle; this was spanned
by one stick of timber six by eight, planked and
supported by posts set into the water below.
These posts rolled out and fell down more than
year ago. The stick Of timber which supported toe
outer end Of the psnks was rotten, and several Say
il was an old stick when fret placed there: For
more than year it has been known to the EN-
ployees and many of our citizens that the bridge
was unsafe, SO much so. that those who knew OF
it's condition have avoided it when walking across
the culvert alone. -
