Peter Bayne, in the WdtehlHdH aud
Reflector, tells of veteran independent
minister in Wales, David Williams by
name, who is now IS years old. and has
ministered to the same scattered flock
for "a years HE breaches generally
three times on the Sabbath and several
times dnrIng the week, and Monday
morning sees him up as early, and
with looks as keen and clear as in other
days"
"A writer in the same paper, giving
an amount of the parish OF Haworth in
England, now famous as the residence
of the Bronta family, shows that the
place had had some peculiar expert
ences before, in a ministerial way. He

"Rev. William Grimshaw, who set
tied at HaWorth in lTI2, was quite as
original and eccentric character as
old Mr.. Bronte, though his peculiari-
ties developed in a different way. In
his early ministry he was lax in theol-
ogy and more loose in morals, and in
dulged somewhat freely in profanity
and drinking to excess. But amer ten
years ofa worthless ministry he came
under terrible conviction of sin, and
passed through a mental agony rarely
euualIed. After this crisis in his relig-
ious history his zeal andindustry knew
no bounds" lfe..- sta-l-

his failure to reply to DR.. Colenso's
book on the Pentateuch. he says:
"Dr. Colenso draws attention to the
fact that, although ProfessOrO of Hebrew

fully through the first part OF it with
those members of the University who
liked TO be present at the discussion;

THE Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Net0s gives an account of the
life and death of person whose eccen-
tricity would entille him to IA place in n
novel by Dickens. His peculiarly
was habit of spending most of his
time in Omnibuses. He was always
ready to get into the first omnibus
which left the quarter where he lived,
at seven O'Clock in the morning, always
going first to the Palasi Royal and
then somewhere else. He contrived
generally to get into the corner nearest
the door, where he could talk with the
conductor, and betrayed much vexa-
ton if he was unable TO do so. AllIhe
day except ap hour and hall for din
ner and breakfast was spent in omni-
buses, and he returned home by the
last one at night. The correspondent
says: .aa .. rHr b.. --....
"On getting into an omnibus he al
ways asked for Correspondence
i. e., "a ticket emitting the bearer 10 ride
for nothing on some other line. but he
very seldom made use of it. His habit
was to put the ticket in his wHistcoat
pocket and pay afresh in the next car
rtage. Two days ago, after taking his
dinner in third class restaurant
which he frequented in the Rue Vile

little, but begged him particularly 10
wake him in half an hour, as he had to
take the omnibus for Batignolles.
When the waiter, with q punctuality
due regular customer, came 70 wake
him, he shook him by the shoulder in
vain. The little old soldier was dead.

stroke. The domicile Of SO great an
omnibus traveller was easily found.
It turned out that he was native of
Nantes, whose head had been turned
by his unexpectedly coming in to a
considerable fortune. He was under
the delusiOn that he was a secret in
spector of fomnibuses, whose duty it is
to go about and report the number OF
passengeH, with a view to discover
frauds on the part of conductors, Fif-
teen hundred omnibus correspondence
tickets, carefully sorted and labelled,
were found in one of his drawers"
