As Mr.. and Mrs. Hezekial,
Greenlee, of Mason Co., West
Virginia, were a few days ago walk
ing hand in hand, not dreaming of
any danger, a dead tree suddenly
fell brushing the shoulder of Green
lee, striking his wife on the top of
the head, crushing her to the
earth in one solid mass, and break
ing every bone in her body SO that
her remains could not be recog-
missed as those Of a human being.
Strange to say, Mr.. Greenlee was
not injured in the least, further
than being stunned for a few Sec
onds. The evening was q calm
one, and it is supposed that the
tree, which was rotten at the roots,
gave way from its weight. Mr..
G. had been married little less
than six weeks.

A swarm of hived bees, on a
Great Western train recently crea-
ted lively time at Princeton, Can
ada. When the train stopped at
the station it was discovered that
the wire gauze placed over the en-
trance of the hive, to allow the
bees air, and, at the same time to
prevent their escaping, had become
displaced. The bees had made
the discovery first, and resolved to
"swarm" and make the rest Of
their journey in their own way.
They did swarm, too, and about
the ears of the officials, who, for
some time made Intellectual at
tempts to induce the saucy little
creatures to go back into their
hive. A dozen or two passengers
who ran to the spot to learn the
excitement, got bunged up. That
was the price they paid for their
curiosity. The train started on,
and the refractory little creatures,
who had refused to return to the
hive, were observed on the wing
a few rods behind the train, doing
their best to keep up, generally
coming in, as the train stopped at
the different stations, in time to
sting the brakesmen.

Sad Accident.

The Russian papers record dis
tressiDg accident which recently
took place near Dorpat. Wolves
had appeared in unusual numbers.
A hunter determined to kill some
of them, hoping to frighten away
the band. A horse died during
the day. He purchased the body
and placed it in the edge Of the
woods, to draw the wolves. The
night was dark. Armed with sew
eral rifles, he took his stand IN
der covert at nightfall. He had
not been long at his post when he
saw something black moving ac-
lively on the horses carcass
Sure it was a wolf, be aimed and
fred. Instantly he heard a des-
pairing shrek, evidently from a
human being, which gave him the
greatest uneasiness. He went up
and found poor woman MORALLY
wounded and in deaths agony
She told him she was the mother
of three children dying of hunger
she had observed the carcass du-
ring the day, but was ashamed to
be seen taking a portion OF it, SO
she waited till nightfall 10 cut a
piece of it for her starving chill
dfen. She had a kitchen knife
and lying ty her was a stew pan
she had brought to receive the
meat.
| Her story was investigated, and
found to be true in every particu-
lar. The investigation led, more
over, to the discovery of the ex-
!istence Of great distress among
the peasants Of the neighborhood.
The neighboring authorities OF
once took measures for the sup
port Of the three orphans. One
of them was given to the hunter
the involuntary cause of their
mothers death. He undertook to
bring it up, and launch it well in
life. The village undertook the
care Of another. The authorities
ordered the head of the village to
take charge of the third, "because
he should have ascertained the
distress of the victim aud hel
family, and have prevented her.
by his charity, from being driven
to the cruel extremity which
caused her death"

Prayer as a Source Of In

IF we believe that the Creator
feels an interest in the welfare of
His intelligent creatures, we can
not doubt that He takes cognisance
Of their prayers. Heathens, as
we'll as Christians, pray, and sup
pose that their petitions are heard
and regarded. But that prayer a.
lone procures for any man or body
of men all the necessaries and COM
forts of life is an assumption open
to doubt. Mamma and quails are
not rained from Heaven in this
our day and generation, however
feryently we may beg for them
Nevertheless, we are assured that
there is an association in Illinois
called the Band of Faith, whose
members rely for their board ecclat-
siively upon this source. 1t is also
stated that there is a hospital in
Boston to which the peculiar kind
of aid needed for its support is
always vouchsafed in answer to
the supplications of its principal.
Whatever he thinks the establish
ment requires he asks God for,
and it comes forthwith without
the slightest hint la relation to
the matter being given to any hat-
man being. 1t is rather difficult
to credit these stories, and we are
not sure that it is wise to circulate
them. To inculcate the belief
that food, clothing, shelter, and
all sorts of "portable property"
can be obtained by simply pray.

ness. Few persons would labor
for their daily bread, if they
thought their wants could be sup
piled on such easy terms. We
have a great respect tor the "Cov
enant of Faith" but have an idea
that it would be a dead letter
without the covenant of Works.
1t is our humble opinion that the
"Band of Faith" and the foundel

The Wrong Witness in
the Box.
From the New Orleans Times.

From the New Orleans Times.
Gen. Henry Gray, of Bienville,
was subpoened to give testimony
before the Congressional Commit
| tee now sitting in this city, to in
vestigate the facts of the last cleo
ton. From what we hear, the
Generals testimony was of a very
unsatisfactory character. He was
asked the cause of the small vote
for General Grant in his parish
only two votes being cast for the
Radical electors.
The General answered that, as
far as he could learn from the ne
groes, the reason they would not
come to the polls and vote was be-
cause the Provost Marshal, who
came to the parish as radical or
ganizer, had promised, if they
would vote for the radical ticket in
the State election, to give each one
of them forty acres of good land,
a mule, pillow, hoe, ak and set them
up in the world This promise
had not been kept, and, therefore,
the negroes would not turn out to
vote for the nominees of the party
| in the November election.
Question-Who told you this
was the reason ?
Answer-About 500 of the ne
groes themselves.
Q--Can you give the names of
any of these /?

inent.
! Q-Were you not nominated

opposition to Mr.. Benjamin?
A.-Yes; | was voted for.
Odd not this show that yor
was a prominent politician ?
A.-No-; it only showed thai
had some popularity; not that
was the proper man for the place
any more than the votes received
by Gen. Grant proved that he was
fit to be President of the United
States.
