Sabbath,

Last Sabbath was a lovely day. The
wind that had been blowing strong fol
day or two previous, calmed down into
gentle breeze. The suns rays were
warm and pleasant. The attendance al
church was quite large.
Mr.. Milholland being away at Synod
the Rev. VIM. Tidball preached morning
and evening in the Presbyterian church
In the morning he preached from the
text: "To whom shall go but unto
Thee, &C." In the evening his text was
"Quench not the Spirit" Both discourse:
were interesting. The attendance al
the U. P. Church was also very large
Mr.. Gibson's text was: ''By faith Noal
being warned of God, &C." The sub.
ject was well treated.
The attendance at our other churche!
was likewise good.

Northern Lights.

The Aurora Borealis, being so very
bright for almost every night for week
or more past, has given rise to many
questions as to the probable cause of the
phenomenon. We mentioned in our
last issue that it was not known what
the origin of this light is. There have
been quite number of theories advanced
in all ages of the world. From all ac-
counts which have been collected con-
cerning this polar light, as it is some
times called, it would seem that the
phenomenon was less frequentin former
ages than at present. Yet we must take
into consideration the fact that meteorlc
observations were not so much attended
to then aS at present. Aristotle, VINO
died 322 years B. c., describes the phe-
nomenon with sufficient accuracy i'll his
book of meteors. Allusions are also
made to it by Pliny, Cicero, Seneca, and
others; so that it must have been often
witnessed by the ancients, even in the
climates of Greece and Italy. In the
history of the Dark Ages, We find de-
scriptions of armies fighting in the air.
These doubtless owed their origin to the
freaks of this fantastic phenomenon.
The Aurora is not confined to the
Northern Hemisphere, but is seen in
high Southern latitudes. Mr.. Foster,
who accompanied Capt. Cook in his last
voyage around the world, describes one
which he saw in 1873, in IS degrees
South. which resembled those seen in
Northern ATTITUDES with the exception of
the tint, the light being a clear white.
Other navigators bear like testimony to
this effect.
No satisfactory theory is yet given OF
the cause of this phenomenon. Some
ascribe it to the suns atmosphere !;
others to particles of the earth's atmos-
phere driven beyond its limits by the
impulse of solar light. Many other
theories have also been advanced; but
the one which is greatest in favor by
scientific men of the present day, is that
of electricity. This is probably the
true origin. but, just how to explain it,
all are at a loss to know. Experiments
have been made with electrical ma
chimes, by which luminous phenomena
have been produced, which closely re-
semble the Aurora Borealis, suggesting
this as the most probable origin of this
meteor. Any one understanding the
electric machine can make the expert
ment for himself by taking glass tube,
and partially exhausting the air within,
Theoretically sealing it, and applying it
to the conductor of an electric machine.
The whole tube will be Illuminated from
end to end, and continue luminous for
some time after it is removed from the
conductor. If, after this, the tube be
drawn through the hand, the light will
be remarkably intense through its whole
length; and if grasped in both hands
near the extremities, strong flashes of
light will dart from one end to the other
and Will continue many hours without
fresh eXcitation.
The only warrantable conclusion,
then, which, with our present knowledge
we can come to, is that the Aurora
Borealis must be ascribed to the agency
of electricity in the upper regions of the
atmosphere, but in what way the excite
ment is produced, it remains for future
discoveries to make known.

Maxims for Business Men.

A short advertisement four times is
better than a very long one once. "Brag
is a good dog, but Holdfast is better
Don't fear to have a small advertise
ment by the side Of a large competing
one. The big one can't eat it up.
4 prominent advertisement once or
twice will be effective, if followed up by
a steady card giving your business and
address.
If business admits of it, several small
advertisements, with your name repeated
every time, will avail more than the
same collected with your name in only
once.
Don't take down your sign in dull

vertising failing of success.

Mutilated Currency.

The following, taken from the Intern
al Revenue Record, in regard to the re-
demption of mutilated currency will
perhaps settle in the minds of some, the
fact that torn currency is not worth its
full value: Under the rules of the
United States Treasury, all mutilated
bank notes are redeemed according to
the degree of mutilation. A note, with
a certain portion of the superficial sur
face torn off, is never redeemed at its
full value, but in proportion to the SUI
perficial surface presented for redemp-
ton. A division of the Treasury has
been constantly engaged in redeeming
this mutilated currency, and an account
of the aggregate, up to the present date
shows the sum of $1S5,693.

A Word TO Bows.

Truth is one of the rarest of virtues.
Many youth has been lost in society by
allowing falsehood to tarnish his char
acter, and foolishly throwing truth
away. Honesty, frankness, generosity
virtue-blessed traits, Be these yours,
my boys, and we shall not fear. You
are watched by your elders. Men who
are looking for clerks and apprentices
have their eyes on You. If you are pro-
fame, vulgar, saloon-going, they will not
choose you. If you are upright, steady,
and industrious before long you will
find good places, kind masters, and the
prospect of useful life before you.

Railroad Accident. another Gage Affair

At about four o'clock on Monday
morning, the Pacific Express train, on
Il Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago
Ra lway, going west, was suddenly
thrown from the track, near Wanatah.

locomotive and second-class passenger
car were precipitated down an embank-
ment some fifteen feet. The engineer.
Samnel Schlagle, and the fireman. L.
Hancock, We're both buried under the To-
comotive. 1t took an hour or more to
dig them out. Schlagle died i'm a few
minutes after being rescued, and Han
cock was so badly injured that he could
survive but a few hours at most. The
passengers in the second-class car were
all more or less hurt, but none seriously.
No one was injured in the first-class
cars and sleeping coaches. 1t is pretty
certainly ascertained that the accident
was caused by the removal of rail
from the track by a man living near
where it occurred; lin revenge for the loss
of a cow, which had been killed by a
train, and for which the railroad COM
pany declined to pay.

In 1866, a Mrs. Kippe died, and
was buried in the wilds of Kansas,
at the extreme verge of civiliza-
ton. The body lay undisturbed
for four years, when the relatives
of the deceased desiring that the
family burial grounds should be
the sepulture for all, disinterred
the remains and found them COM
pletely petrified. No stone could
have been harder. The color had
changed to darker hue, but there
was little change in the appearance
of the body, After four days eX
pOsure to the air, the body changed
by atmospheric action, was trans
ported hundreds of miles-from
Kansas to Pittsburg-arrived in a
perfect state of petrifaction, and is
now undergoing the curious scru-
tiny of science.

Remarkable Earthquake.

A heavy shock of earthquake was eX-
perienced on the Goth, at Cleveland, o.,
New York City, Hudson and Schenec-
tady, n. Y, and in Montreal, Canada
This was specially remarkable, in view
of the fact, that the country followed by
the earthquake is not known as a vol
canic region. The shocks were exceed
ingly heavy ,swaying buildings violently
and causing people to fall in the streets
We shall be interested to know what
reason will be assigned for such an unu-
sual phenomenon.

Sentenced for Ten Years

John Sugdon, the partner of William
Gage, in throwing the railroad train of
the track, near Lucas, last May, and who
turned States evidence against the lat
ter, plead guilty to Manslaughter or
Monday last, and was sentenced by
Judge Geddes, to ten years in the Peni-
tentiary. This, We believe, is the full
extent of the law, and is righteou:
act of Justice.

Terrible.

A whole neighborhood was aroused
not thousand miles from Millersburg
one night recently, by repeated cries OF
"murder!" Neighbors went with revol-
yer in hand, to investigate the matter,
and found the occupant of the house on
the sidewalk, so badly frightened that
he was only able to tell that there were
robbers in the house, and that they had
fired several shots at him. Hearing
other "shots," search was made, and
in the pantry were found several cans
of green corn recently put up, which
were fomenting and exploding with a
report like that of pistol.

Separation After Twenty Five Years
Welded Life.

JtVdTdtlOu Alter Twenty rive Tears Ol
Welded Life.
Old fools are the worst of fools. We
have case in point. A husband and
wife, formerly residents of Oberlin,
have lived together for upwards of a
quarter of a century, during which time
they raised fifteen children. One would
suppose that fifteen little olive branches
would be sufficient to entwine the hearts
of the parents together; but in this case
it seems that the more twigs the greater
the breach. Well, to make the story
short, this long-wedded couple have de-
cided upon dissolution of partnership,
and to that end they were in Oberlin
this week to solicit the kindly offices of
mutual friends. They do not want di-
vOrce--only written contract that each
shall be dead to the other for the re-
naming days which they shall have to
pass on this side of the grave.
What has caused this separation we
know not, nor do We care to inquire.
Enough has transpired to show that the
heart of the wife and mother still beats
with affection for the partner of her
younger days and for the children
which have been the fruit of these long
years of welded life. After having the
papers drawn up and signed that were
to separate them for life, the mothers
love is exhibited in her anxiety for the
comfort of husband and children. With
spirit of unselfishness she gave up all
claim OH their joint property, with the
understanding that the husband would
provide for the younger children till
such time as they would be able to care
for themselves. Then she asked per-
mission to return to her old home with
her husband that she might put every
thing i'm order, such as fixing up the
childrens' clothing and preparing their
Winter outfits.
With sorrowful hearts both husband
and wife left Oberlin for their once
happy home. Hereafter their paths in
life diverge; no more shall they hold
thoughts in common. Yet the past
twenty-five years can never become a
blank; the happy hours of their early
welded life will still be to them a green
spot around which the blasted hopes OF
their future will cling with fond remem-
brance.--LOrdin Co. Meas.
