DEDICATION. The new Congrega-
tional church was dedicated on last
Sabbath. An excellent sermon was
preached on that occasion, by Rev. J. E.
Roy, of Chicago. The amount raised at
the dedication was about 5000, which
was sufficient to clear the church from
debt. The whole cost of the building
was about 81, 100. It is neat, commo-
dious, and well furnished building, and
an ornament and permanent benefit to
the town. It's erection in the short space
of four months, does great credit to the
energy of Rev. c. S. Harrison, pastor in
charge. He has spent upon it much
time and labor. The congregation is not
large, but it has accomplished a work
that would be an honor to a larger con-
gregstion. We hope its membership
may increase.
The numerous friends of Rev. Nj. X.
Cross had the pleasure of seeing him at
the dedication.

LIFE SAVED BY WHIPPING.

Many years ago two men were travelling ir
one Of the Northwestern States, in the depth oi
winter, on horse back. 1t was a long time since
they bad passed any human habitation, when
one of the men became so benumbed with cold
that he told his companion that he could not sit
on his horse and could not go any farther.
/ They both dismounted in the midst of some
very large pine trees AS soon as they were on
their feet, the other traveller commenced apply.
ing his horsewhip to the numb one. This of
course warmed him up in more senses than one.
He ran after his companion, who to avoid him
also ran round one of~those pine trees about ten
feet in diameter After thus exercising for a
few minutes, they were soon both able to pursue
their journey. good whipping perhaps saved
the mans life ..E .....
Many years ago in one Of the Western coun-
ties of North Carolina, an Irishman got lost in
the woods. He had little dog, and after foun-
dering about long time, and could not find his
way out, he finally took up his little dog and
whipped him severely, and hit him a few strokes
after be let him go. True to his natural in
stinets the dog ran in the nearest direction to-
WARDS home, and the freshman, following him,
extricated from his difficulty

- FIFTY YEARS IN AN IRON CAGE-There is
now living at Buckland, Massachusetts,, maniac
named Josiah Spaulding, who has been confined
in an iron cage for over fifty years, and for more
than thirty years has not stood erect, till he has
become so deformed that it is impossible to
straighten his limbs by manual force. He re-
fuses to be clothed, and will not suffer anything
to remain on him, and is only kept warm in
winter by warming tie room in which his cage
is placed.
His human nature seems to have totally de-
serted him; he is only being of senseless ex-
istence. His father, Rev. Josiah Spaulding,
was the first minister that settled at Rockland,
aud this, his only son, was the only survivor of
premature triplet birth. During his boyhood
and youth he was INDUCED to the fullest extent,
aud though an extremely dull and backward
scholar, finally applied for admission to Williams
College, after the continued efforts and persua-
sion of his parents and teachers
He was unsuccessful in his application, ard
commenced district school, which the symp-
toms of insanity compelled him to give up. His
madness manifested itself in attempting to MUIR
der his father and mother, and was chained for
the safety of his family. After months of rub
bing the links Of his fetters against each other,
he succeeded in freeing himself when his first
act was to attempt to murder his sister. Since
then he has inhabited the cage in which he is
now kept, and his insanity has been growing
more and more hopeless, until it is now utterly
incurable.

A LESSON FOR LAZY WIyEs.-One day, a
sturdy peasant was at work ia the field amid
storm and rain, and went home in the evening,
tired and ,drenehed to the skin. His loving wife
said :-"My dear, it has been raining so hard that
| could not fetch water, so / have not been
able to make you any dinner. As you are wet
through, shall be obliged to you to fetch me a
couple of buckets of water; you cannot get any
vetter." The argument was striking; he, there
fore, took two buckets and fetched some wafer
from the well, which was at considerable dis
tance. On reaching his house he found bis wife
comfortably seated by the fire; there. lifting one
bucket after another, he pourd the contents over
his kind, considerate partner. Nov, wife, said
he, "you are quite as wet as Il am, so you may as
wellfetch water'for yourself; you can't get any
wetter."

PET BIRDs-Cased birds are the source Of
much pleasure, and whils they give great hap
piness if they are kept in good healthy copdi-
tion, seem to enjoy life nearly if not quite ss
well as their mates in the bush or the wildwood
especially if, either from the lack Of memory
or from bissful ignorance, the Gagged birds do
not know what pleasure they lose. "Where
ignorance is bliss, tits folly to be wise" One
Of the drawbacks to the happiness of birds, and
to the pleasure of keeping them, is lice, and
having recently learned of safe and sure way
of removing them, we give it to our readers.-
The Michigan Farmer says: Z
"Lay piece Of canton or cotton flannel over
the cage at night, several nights in succession,
taking it off at daylight. Multitudes of them
will be found upon it, which are easily killed.
After few days all will be removed. A. case
in which this was very successful has just been
brought to our notice, from pair of bob-olinks;
hundreds of these parasites were removed in
this way"

Ra% One of the greatest absorbent of gases
is charcoal OF some kinds of gas it will absorb
90 times its volume. This was strongly illus
trated some time since, by blacksmith, who
had pile Of it lying exposed not far from his
shop. A poor old horse, just ready to die was
lay down and died on the side Of it. Perceiving
no bad smell TO arise from the carcass, the
blacksmith did not remove it, but let it decay
where il was. But when be came to burn the
coal he discovered that all the gas that arose
from the decaying animal matter, had been taken
up by his fuel and was by the FIRE driven out
again, rendering bis shop insupportable.

THE LAw.-Two Dutchmen, who built and
used in common small bridge over stream
which ran through their farms, had adispute
concerning some repairs which it required, and
one of them positively refused to bear any por-
ton of the expense necessary to the purchase OF
plank. Finally, the aggrieved party went to
neghboriug lawyer, and placing ten dollars
in his hand, said:
"Pll give you all dish moneys if you'll make
Hans do justice NIT de bridge" r
"How much will it cost to repair it?" asked
the honest lawyer
"Not more than FIVE dollar" replied the
Dutchman. --..
every WE'LL" said the lawyer, pocketng one
of the notes and giving him the other; stake
this and go get the bridge repaired; tits the
best course you can take"
"Yaas," said the Dutobman, slowly, "yaas,
dat ish more better as TO quarrel NIT Hans;"
but as he went along home he shook his head
frequently, as if unable, after all, to see quite
clearly how he had gained anything by going
to law
