particular mode of worship. As we said last week, it attempts to harmonize the va rious evangelical denominations, and en. deavors to induce them to regard each other as co-workers, though in their different ways of doing it, for the accomplishment of one end, common to all the salvation of souls.
 In regard to your remarks concerning the Truth being the image and reflection of the Mind and Will of Almighty God, we would not presume to dispute, and when you say that two and two cannot be both four and five; that is to say that the truth is the truth and cannot be but one it is four and not five, that assertion is correct but the truth is the will of God made known to us by His Word, and that truth is the fig ure four alluded to. We have not learned that anybody was trying to make five out of four, but the Union Allocate would have us believe, that although your com bination of the figures two and two make four, if MT. B. chooses to use neither of your twos to obtain the same result, but in. stead will take three and one together, his four would be as complete and accept able to mathematician as yours. Or fur ther: If MT. c. comes forward with his problem solved to his satisfaction, the re- suit of careful study on his part, and in bis search after the truth, has discovered that to attain the result almed at, four ones combined will do it. is he not right? and then here is D: who does not understand the Word as the others have, yet has stud jed from the same book. He goes at it perhaps more labo. lcusly, and finds that two and one-half and one and onc-half make four, all the difference between D. and the rest being, he makes more fuss about it. His four is precisely the same as the others; no more nor no less, nor no better. We feel to assert that the writer of that article mistakes. The Adoocnte does not urge Christians of different denomina- tions to throw aside their distinct organiza- tions. It simply asks that while holding on to their own modes of worship, they acknowledge and commune with all other professing Christian bodies, who are agreed on the great fundamental truths of the gospel. This is, as we understand it, the aim of the Union Adsocate It asks us to realize, that in our religious us we'll as secular affairs there are different ways of doing the same thing, and when we can see but one particular way of doing it, asks us to be generous toward others who will ac- complish the same end but are doing it in a different way, and not set up howl at the rediculous aspect of our neighbor, who is laboring with three and one, to make of them the -four we shall make with our two twos.-Ed.

NIAGARA FALIs.-We are indebted to the author. MT. George w. Holley, for a copy of most interesting work which he has just published, entitled, "Niagara, its History and Geology; Incidents and Po- etry." MT. Holley is a native of this town, but for more than thirty years past has re- sided at the village of Niagara Falls, New
 York. He is therefore, by observation as also by education, well fitted for the task he has so happily accomplished. Under each of the four heads into which the con- tents of the book are divided, the details are ample. valuable and full of interest. Some of the facts stated under the Geolog- ical head are specially so, and are entirely new and original. The account of what MT. H. calls the " Niagara Barrier, consti. tuting as it did. 6 dam across the Niagara river, which set it's waters back to Lake Superior, thus forming one immense lake whose waters are emptied through the Illi- nois and Mississippi rivers into the Gulf of Mexico; the action of the Ice in cutting out the present chasm in the Niagara river; the age and rate of introcession of the Falls; all these matters will attract the notice of scientists generally. The bio- graphical sketch of Mir. Joel R. Robinson will make the public acquainted with Q re- markable man, It almost makes ones hair stand on end to read the account of his voyage through the Whirlpool rapids on the Maid of the Mist" Few comedians are more provocative of mirth than the serio-comic story of "Fisher and the Bear" in the canoe, and the extraordinary method adopted by an ingenious Hibernian to per petuate the story of the tragicsl death of Miss Martha Rugg. We should judge that every visitor at the Falls would find this book an indispensable companion. We un- derstand MT. Jones, of Lakeville, has few copies of the work on sale.

AmeSvilles

Amesville.
 The work at Amesville under tue super vision of MT. H. L. Reese goes on finely, although. it is not that kind which strikes the beholder, being confined to foundation building, the removal of dirt, etc. This business is however we'll on toward com. pletion, SO that in short time we may ex- pect something to appear above ground. The wall for the machine shop, built by Contractor Mckee is nearly done. There remains yet to be completed the round house wall, also, that of the turn table and transfer, all of which are begun, and that of the paint shop, which Ss aeot begun. These walls are laid deep in the earth and are indeed marYels of foundation excellence. The labor of changing these works from 8 manufactory as they were under MT. Ames, to car and engine depot of the proposed magnitude, was gigantic. Huge banks of dirt had to be removed. The hill back of the Ames residence was driven into by Boss Kirvins' men and carried up almost to the house. A drain inlaid and covered with quarry stone traverses the whole campus to the river. This was the work of Stone mason Stevens and his men, great under taking indeed, but quickly and handsomely performed. The old ground has been gra- ded up with top covering of dirt, in some places to the depth of several feet. Mon strous piles of rubbish had to be removed i; a new bridge built; Q track laid across it and over the campus, so that cars loaded with materials for the new buildings come in. The car shop formerly known as the new forge has undergone radical but sub stantial repairs. The walls have been ceiled, stone masonry for machinery has been laid, and now an able corps of workmen are busy fitting up the wheels. Mill-wrights Loring and Webster are here, also, Carpen- ters Turner, Jarrett, Wolfe, Briscoe, and others, are busy and anxious to get the thing going in the quickest possible time. Besides, there are fourteen large houses to be fitted up in first rate style. Each family is to have all the ct ceterGs necessary to Q comfortable living. Good cisterns are dug by Boss Landon and his men; while s. Morris and his boys, Yale, Horsford and Hill are fitting them up inside. Contractor Fuller of Pittstield has half dozen men painting them on the outside. while J. Judd and J. Brewster do the paper-hanging and painting within. Foreman Reese is archi- tect and superintendent of all, and is mas- ter of the situation. c. R. Morrls, master mechanic, occupies the Ames house, which, with its tasty outdoor arrangement and handsome furnishing inside, is truly a beau ideal of home excellence.

Scutt's shop and about l-2 mile to the turn in the road, where, in turning, the carriage was capsized on wall, throw ing Miss Pratt with great force against a stone, striking her head and fracturing her skull, besides bruising her badly itbeing a very narrow escape from instant death. She is as comfortable as can be expected under the circumstances. The horses were found feeding near MT. Bennett's store, being not at all frightened. They have been known to run before....
