The most CONSPICUOUS of these.
was one held at Tabernacle, a VIII
lage few miles from here, at the
Methodist church, at that place,
under the ministry of Rev. Bask-
erville, (who also has charge cf
the church here. 1t began with
a Sunday School Convention, in
which much interest was given by
both old and young, after which
it was conducted day and night
for two successive weeks, resulting
in the happy, and [ hope, true
conversions of about seventy
five, of different ages, and the
Accession of about sixty to The
communion of the church. Other
churches had, as tile common
phrase runs, "a good meeting" but
not with such mammoth results.

The Beaver Dam wis Argue
tells the following story: "There
resides in this city a LADY, who,
for some time, has not lived with
her husband, during which period
of separation the said husband has
married another woman, the par
ties having been acquainted be-
fore either marriage. Well, a few
days since, the husband and wife
No, 2 came to this city, and made
visit to wife No. 1, and, strange
to say, instead Of doing each others
eyes in purple, OF making a stimuli
taneous assault with broomsticks
and CAGE. knives, the trio seemed to
enjoy themselves serenely togeth-
er, promenading the streets, hus-
band in the center, and a wife at
tached to each elbow. Finally,
after the visit, the husband and
wife No. 2 departed for their home
in an adjoining State, with no
marks of violence about their per.
sons, leaving wife No. l happy as
the recipient of several useful pres
ents."

match for two like me. In vain
tried to think of some way of es
cape; there was none. The win
dow was strongly grated !; the
door dozen men like me could
not move. ! thought of my dear
wife and darling innocent babe,
and tears would come in my eyes
In spite of all | could do. What
would she say when l was borne a
ghastly, bleeding corpse to the
house. Sometimes | would try to
hope he would forget me, and not
COME back, but reason told me bet.
ter. | tried to pray, but instead
OF having my mind OH what said,
| was continually listening for his
returning footsteps. At last they
came, nearer and nearer, and as
he came in sightI noticed he car
ried a long carying-kniie in his
hand. As he approached the cell
he accidentally dropped the lamp,
leaving US in darkness. A faint
ray of hope pierced my mind
Could | not dodge out as he un-
locked. the door? Nearer and
nearer he came, and at last stopped
at the door. i could hear him
cropping for the keyhole. At last
| heard him insert the key and
turrit. Drawing in long breath,
l nerved myself for tie encounter,
and as the door opened, l made
spring at him, and Providence IA
vorlDg me, caught him by the COL
lar. Putting forth desperate ef-
fort, | twitched him, and tripped
him at the same time, sent hun
to the further side of the room
| Immediately sprang out and was
locking the door, when he rushed
to it, but finding it locked, reached
through the CRATES, and with his
knife struck me across the hand,
while | was removing the key
As he went,to draw back his hand, !
| seized it by the wrist and catch
ing hold of the knife with my
wounded hand, wrenched it from
him. The next day | left the asy-
lum for good, and have never b. en-
Inside of one since. We bought

er since; and now, friend, you
can judge whether | can ever look
