.'The world goes round: the sun sets on despair,
The morrow makes it hope. E,ch little life
Thinks the great axle of the universe
Turns on its fate, and finds impertinence
In joy or grief conflicting with its own.
Yet fate Is woven from unnoted threads;
Each life is centred in the lie of all,
And from the meanest root some fibre runs
Which chance or destiny may intertwine
With those that feed a force or guiding thought
To rule the world: so goes the W rid aronnd."
-Frons LIARS" by Bayard TAYLOR.

London has had an immense meeting, in
two halls at once, "mostly elderly laymen," to
protest the value to piety of the Athanasian
creed Charles Kingsley, for instance, ex-
poets of this creed "a most potent and saluta-
ry influence, not only on the theology, but on
the ethics, and on the sciences, physical and
metaphysical of all English speaking nations"
Ths Spectator treats the agitation as resting
on the assumption of sacredness in mere

formula of magic" instead of an explana-
ton of belief .1

Tragedy mt EIarrisvilic.

On Wednesday of last week, as
our informant relates to us, two
men in an intoxicated condition,
entered the fancy goods store of
Casper Alpern, at HarTisville, and
commenced a. disturbance. Mr..
Alpern prevailed on them to desist,
but they refused, and soon over
turned the stove with q cant hook,
at the same time threatening Mr..
Alpern, who still continued his en-
treaties for peace and order. They
drove Alpern behind the counter,
and said they would "clean him
out" About this time Mr.. David
Chambers, who was also intoxica-
ted, entered the store and inter
fered in behalf of the two men,
telling Alpern to be quiet for nc
had a revolver. Mr.. A. then reach
ed in the show case and took there
from o revolver, but Chambers
pounced upon him, clutched him
by the throat, and threw him down
in a corner, when Alpern fired, the
ball lodging in the ceiling. Tho
two mon who first commenced the
row now fed, leaving Alpern ant
Chambers alone. Alpern fired the
second and third shot, the I'd JUS
breaking the skin on the upper
side of Chambers head, and the
third entering the abdomed. Dur
ing the scuffle Chambers wrenched
the barrel from the revolver in his
cndcavor TO take it from Alpern
The wounded man was taken home
to his family, and Mr.. Alperr
placed under $1,000 bonds to APP
pear for examination on Friday
next. Mr.. Alpern is now in this
city, where he has friends, and will
return to Harrisville on Thursday
He is known here as being a peace
able man. A telegram was receiv-
cd hero on Friday stating that Mr..
Chambers had died from the effects
of his wounds. He leaves wife
and two children.

fore he reached town His funeral
took place from the Methodist
Church on Friday, it being largely
attended. Mr.. Wilson was a man
of good habits, and was beloved by
all who knew him, but stricken
down at the age of about thirty
years. There is rather a sad story
connected with himself and family.
About the first of May last he lost
his wife, and was left with an infant
babe. The child was taken by Mr..
f. s. Goodrich, who worshiped the
little fellow even as his own child,
but it was not destined to remain
long, and on the 18th of July it
was called to join its mother in the
other world, where all is peace and
happiness. During the fall Mr..
Wilson, while in conversation with
Mr.. Goodrich, repeatedly made re-
marks which indicated that he did
not think he should live long, hav-
ing several times said that if any
thing happened him he wanted so
and so done. Mr.. Goodrich en-
deavored to have him Danish such
an idea from his mind, but it proved
of no avail. Wilson went into the
woods at the aarly part of the lum-
bering season, and worked faithful
ly to the time of the sad accident
He had no relatives in this section
but leaves very large circle o.
warm and endearing friends tc
mourn the untimely end of so gooG
a citizen and companion.

Fatal Accident.

James Wilson, who has been
working at L. Browns camp this
winter, last Thursday met with an
accident which caused his death.
Mr.. Wilson, with some others, was
at work swapping when limb of
a tree fell, striking him on the
head, and rendering him senscless.
The injuries were apparently very
bad, and he was placed on bed in
o sleigh and started for this city for
surgical aid. but it was useless, as
the injuries were OF too serious a
nature, and the poor follow died be-

ANOTHER LNE.-The Saginaw
Courier publishes a correspondence
from Bay City, from which the fol-
lowing is cleaned:
The fact that Capt. Cole will
place on the line between the River
and Alpena, the steamer General
Sherman, a heavy draft boat which
cannot make trips above this point,
has given rise 10 the conjecture
that an opposition line will be form
ed, with the splendid steamer Jay
Cooke rs the boat. The Cooke is a
fast sailer, and can (as the Shcr-
man intends to dog make the round
trip from Saginaw to Alpena in one
day. The Sherman as all are aware,
was formerly a revenue cutter, and
was of course, built to carry the
greater portion of her load in the
hold. Many seem to think that
when cabins are put on, and pas
sengers placed therein, that she
will be SO top-heavy as to render
her almost worthless, and the Shcr-
man may be better boat than the
Cooke, but we doubt it. At all
events, the people from Alpcna to
Saginaw will be benefited should
an opposition line, under good
management, be organized.

ELECTRICAL EXHIBITION. - In
accordance with the urgent request
of many friends, and also to pay an
indebtednesson apparatus and organ
purchased last year, Mr.. Dewey
will give series of experiments in
both galvanic and fractional cleo
tricity, at the Congregational
Church, on Friday evening. These
experiments will be accompanied
by a lecture, in explanation of the
principles upon which they are
based, and it is believed that they
cannot fail to be both amusing and
interesting. Among the expert
ments the burning of steel wire by
the galvanic current, the firing of
powder, firing of torpedoes and
sub marine batteries, driving a
wheel, swing and teter by cleo
firstly, ringing bells, lighting and
extipguishing gas by spark from
the nose or finger. The electricity
will be made to pass over notices
and words among which will be a
constellation of nine brilliant names
of electrict science. These will
appear the same as if written with
lightning, and will be continuous,
written in characters of electric
fire. Admission 25 cents.
