THE CASE OF "JouN ToDD. 1T strikes
us as very singular that John Todd
doesn't pay his subscription. lie hasn't
paid one cent since 1865. Todd stands
well in his ,efghborhood, sets up to be
a standard of honesty, belongs to the
church, and is really good man. How
does he reconcile it to himself not to
pay his subscription? Of course, the
Chronicle is worth the money. We
like Todd, but we are worried about his
character, because he does not pay his
subscription. We. heard him speak
slighingly of neighbor the other day
because he was "badlpay." Thinks we
to ourself, Oh, Todd
Todd is a small matter by himself in
a subscription point of view, but then
there are so many Toddsl

EXPERIENCE THE GREAT TEACHER.
MRS. j. CROLY Jennie June) tes-
A'I titled :-"I like the Grover & Baker Ma
chine in the first place, because, if / had any
other, should still wanta Grover & Baker:
and having q Grover & Baker, it answers tho
purpose of all the rest. 1t does q greater va
riety of work, and it is easier to learn than
any other" :
Mrs. General Buell testified 1--WE have
Grover Il Baker Sewing machine for seven
years, in constant use, hemming, telling,
tucking, and everything that the fingers can
do. 1t is preferred over all others ON account
of its durability of work, elasticity and
strength of stitch, case of movement and
simplicity of construction"
Mrs. A. G. Foss, wife of the Rev. Archibald
Foss, writes I'll feel it to be both duty and
n pleasure to inform you with what satisfac-
tion and success have worked on the Gro
yer Il Baker Machine for the past eleven
years, 1t is so simple in its structure that 1t
is exceedingly difficult to get it out of order
Both of my little giris-one live and O half
the other four years-can sew straight sean1s
on 1t without assistance"
Mrs. Wilson, wife of Prot. Wilson, Hobart
College, writes :-"Your Machine is such -
benefit to manl<iid that | often feel rs
though 'twoild do me good to trumpet it's
praises farand near. The one l have is of
the plainest kind, but would not exchange
ii for the most expensive ever saw of any
other make"
Prof Henshaw, of WiHiston Seminary,
writes any Wife, from n six years .previ-
GUS use ola Wheeler& Wilson machine, came
to the work of q Grover & Baker with reluc-
tance. But in n few weeks prejudice vadish-
ed admiration succeeded, and now the Gro
yer & Baker has no more enthusiastic adyo-
catethan she. The simplicity ofits cehstruc-
ton; the facility with Which its use is ac-
quired the beauty, strength, and elasticity
of its stitch and its adaptabilfty to all kinds
of work, are qualities Chich do MOI all belong at
once TO any other machine"

BRUTALITY OF THE TURKs.-How the Turks
carry on the war against the Cretans is demon
strated by an incident related in late letter
from Athens. The Christians in Selino were
informed by the consus at Came that European
ships would appear off Sugla, and take such
families away as choose to leave the island.
In consequence nearly 5000 women and chill
drcn hocked thither, anxious)y awaiting the
arrival of the promised vessels. A large
steamer appeared, carrying the English flag,
and was cbeercd by those On shore, when
suddenly the steamer turned out to be a Turk
ish ship ol-war, opened her ports and fred her
broadside into the helpless and unarmcd
crowds. Over $50 women and children were
killed outright, and a much larger number
more or less seriously wounded Such wanton
acts OF cruelty and barbarism must hasten the
termination OF Turkish dominion in Europe.

RELATIONS BETWEEN MONKEYS AND MEN: -
Prof. Agassiz, in a recent lecture, poceeded
to show the structural difference between
monkeys and men, and declared that if it ever
should be found that all men descended from
one and the same pair, the same evidence
would prove that all monkeys were descended
from the same pair, and that monkeys and
men had one common origin. This Of course
he denied. But he holds that the different
races of men have had separate and dis
tinct origin, as the different families of monk
eys have also had. He then, in a very elabo-
rate manner, showed how an Intelligent Mind
must have been necessary to the creation and
spstenance of such variety of animal life, SC
diversified and yet found 10 exist under such
uniform conditions. The lecture was fire.
quently applauded, and at its close George
Bancroft, the historian, assembled the platform
and in brief speech, in which he said thai
the lectures of Prof. Agassiz had clearly
shown that there was nothing great on eartl
but man, and nothing great in man but mind
proposed, by resolution, vote Of thanks tt
the learned scholar who had given the audi
ence so rich treat. 1t was passed unani
mously, and Prof. Agassiz responded, thank
ing the audience

VERY CUR1oUs.-It is a curious fact, says
an Australian paper in an article on deep
mining, that from the hours Of twelve at night
till three in the morning, the disturbing in the
bowels of the earth obtains increased activity.
At that time it is observed by miners that
water falls from places where none is obsery-
able during the day. The volume in the
wheel is perceptibly increased the atmos-
phere is charged with gases which often pre-
vent the lights from burning, and small par,
tic]es of earth are observed TO fall from the
top of the drives. Whether the phenomenon
is TO be attributed to the diurnal motion Of the
earth or other causes, it is worthy the atten
ton of the curious.

A carriage came along, and the man "avea
