A few days since, damsel as "beau.
tifnl as butterfly made complaint be-
fore magistrate in Augusta, Me, that she
was annoyed to death by young fellow
who followed her wherever she went. He
insisted, "Wilt thou be mine? but she
wouldn't wilt, and wanted to marry her.
She could not return his love. Il was
not until he threatened ito take her
hearts blood" or something quite as ter
rible, that she felt constrained to seek le-
gal protection. The young man was arres-
ted and after examination agreed to leave
the place to quiet the matter, promising
never to return. He has gone and the
damsel breathes freer.

A good man ence said: The longer I
live, the more feel the Importance of ad-

who circulates an i'll report.
4. Always to moderate as far rs can
the unkindness which is expressed toward

A Start ling Discovery.


A party Of young people recently anus.
ing themselves ut the house of the Rev
Mr.. White, near Terre Haute, Ind, were
suddenly somewhat startled on hearing
the croaking of frog in their midst!
While they were strangely watching for
the strange visitant-an unwelcOme one
certainly, in front parlor-they noticed
that one Of their number, a young girl oi
seventeen, named Mary Copaxi, turned as
white as sheet and laid her hand on her
breast.
The croaking continued, and Miss Co.
paxi suddenly uttered terrible scream
and swooned away. As her young CON-
panions gathered around her, applying
the proper restoratives, they made a start
ling discovery that thrilled them with hor.
ror
Mr.. White coming in at this juncture,
inquired as to the meaning Of the strange
tumult, and was informed that the croak.
ing of frog was heard, proceeding from
the stomach of Miss Copaxi.
Yes, there could be no mistake, the
noise of the frog came from the young
girl
She swooned away three times before
the kind minister could inspire her with
sufficient hardihood and cooiness to endure
her misfortune as became Christian, and
her companions were obliged to carry her
home in carriage.
DR.. Williams, promising young sur
geon, on visit to some relatives at this
place, was Immediately sent for. lie per-
ceived at once his patient was difficult
case but with remarkable selfpossession
and steady hand, he at once proceeded
with the work. which alone could save
the young girls life. Before night he had
made an incision in the flesh just under
the breast, and extracted a large green
speckled frog, almost four inches in ex-
tent
The girl is now doing we'll. and will re-
cover.

A colored man was arrested in Boston
a few evenings since, with bag on his
shoulder, on suspicion of being thief.
Upon looking into the bag it was found to
contain peck, more or less of rats in all
stages OF death-dead, stone dead, half
dead, and expecting to die! The fact was
speedily developed that the party arrested
was professional rat-catclcr, and as his
ayocation was not illegal nor his booty con-
traband, he was discharged.

to meeting lady acquaintance who, for
reasons best known to herself, don't see
you when she looks at you, and don't know
you when she does see you, it is the most
uncomfortable thing in the world.
But, as was saying, when the sheet
bath failed to cure my cough, nice lady
friend recommended the application of a
mustard plaster to my breast. / believe
that would have cured me effectually if it
had not been for young Wilson. When l
went to bed, l put my mustard plaster

The CentenaryiC Celebration.-Method-
ism is unquestionsbly wonderful feature of
modern Protestantism. It's rise and prog ess

ovatimg Protestant churches, and it has given
origin aud vigor to the various evangelical
agencies now in use, for the Characterization
of the world, of power extent. Its progress
is the most wonderful phenomenon of mod
1879 in England, and in 1865 in America, it
has grown beyond all precedent. In Ameri-
ca in one hundred years, from little society
Of six persons il has become the most numer-
Gus and religiously progressive Church, on

and half of colDmunicants and from eight
to ten million attending on lis ministry

The Centenary Contribution, called for by
the Church, as thankofering 10 God, for his
great mercy in our past history, will be
glorious success amounting TO from four 10
Ave millions of dollars. The N. E. Church.

ROLLERsvILLE.

Rollersville cannot expect to compete in
growth with her sister villages which have the
advantages of the railroad. However, she
proves TO be beneficial to good surrounding
country by doing good country business.
As said before, although she has her im-
provements, she cannot boast of rapid
growth; but thers..is one thing still.better and
Of far more importance than the gro,cta of a
place that il can boast OF, and that 10 te7t-
perc,,ee. There 10 not one drop of intoxi-
eating liquors sold at this place, and fair
prospect for Its remaining free from this sril
spirit. So long as ii does the people may be
proud Of their little village, though in bus
insss point it may be of minor impo: tance.
It is sslf-evidsnt that there il no (terrsstrisl)
blessing that promotes the bliss of people
30 much as temperance. This is manifest
by the uuauimity of the guests at the Holi-
day balls given at A. B. Cooks Hall. They
were attended by comfortable number and
all passed along smoothly and pleasantly.
In our next we will say something of the
business capacity Of our town.
