Reported for the Herald
Woodstock Baptist Sunday school
Convention.

This associational convention met with
the Baptist church and Sabbath school
in North Mt. Holly, Wednesday, June
18th, 1878. The convention was organ
lied by the choice of Rev. J. P. Farrar,
of Ludlow, chairman, and d. A. Wheel
er, of Perkinsville, clerk. After an adj
dress of welcome by Rev. ]. Clement,
(who is now serving the church in Mt.
Holly as temporary supply the con-
yention listened to the written and ver-
bal reports of majority of the schools
"a few failing to present letters. An
essay was then read on THE Relation
of the Sunday School to the Church and
the World, by Miss Frances Baldwin,
of Chester, following which there was a
discussion on Sunday School Litera-
ture" ably opened by Dea. Ira J. Taylor,
of Ludlow, which was pending when
the time of adjournment arrived.
In the afternoon the discussion on
Sunday school literature was continued
for half an hour, after which the con-
vention listened to an essay on "The
Relation of Sabbath Schools to Missions"
by Miss Lilly e. A. Robbins, Of Lud-
low. An essay was to have been read
on ''The Relation of Intidelity to Ignor-
ance," by Rev S. F. Deane, (who has
recently closed his labors with the
church in Mt. Holly but being absent
there was brief discussion on the topic
opened by the chairman.
The next exercise of the programme
was a Sabbath school concert by some
of the classes of the Ludlow school, led
by Superintendent Geo. l.. Arlington,
which was followed by blackboard eX-
ercises by Rev. VIM. Fl. Rugg, of Per-
kinsville Then came discussion on
'sBiblical Archaeology" opened in an
interesting manner by Rev j. S. Good
all, of South Londonderry, following
which was the report of the committee
on next session and the usual compli-
mentary resolution of thanks for gener-
Gus hospitality and good singing, when
| the convention adjourned to meet in
Cavendish in June, 1874.
The day was very pleasant, the air
was salubrious, the assembly was large,
! the welcome was very cordial, the en-
| tertainment was bountiful, and we ven
ture to say that the good people of Mt.
Holly fully sustained their excellent
reputation in kindly contributing to the
happiness of their guests.
The essays were well written papers
and reflect credit upon their youthful
authors. The discussions upon the
topics especially assigned for such an
/ exercise. as well as those which followed
the ESSAYS, were warm and earnest APP
peals in behalf of Sunday school work,
| and the safeguards OF our youth in the
form of a healthy and reliable literature
and correct teaching The Sabbath
school concert and blackboard exer-
cises elected much interest. The sing
/ ing by the Mt. Holly choir, the Ludlow
! school, and also that of Miss Nellie Glib
son, of Chester, and Miss Hattie M.
/ Smith, Of Ludlow, each of whom sang
| a solo, enliyened the exercises and was
very acceptable. AS a whole it was one
of the best conventions of the kind
which your correspondent has ever been
permitted to attend and enjoy. Lux.

Dreadful Accident at Calais.
FIVE PERSONS DROWNED.

An accident attended with fearful loss
Of life. occurred last Sunday afternoon,
on WheeIock pond in the town of Calais.
This pond, which is nearly a mile in
length, and half mile wide, is situat-
ed lust north of the village of North
Calais, and is well known as Number
Ten pond.
Last Sunday afternoon about four
o'clock party from the village and vi
cinity had been taking a boat ride to
White Birch Point, at the north end of
the pond. where picnic had been held
the previous day upon grounds lately
put in order for such purposes. On this
occasion it was agreed, at the suggestion
of and to please Aunt Recta Mcknight,
who had greatly enjoyed the Saturday 5
picnic. to 60 over there and take all
their Sunday tea together. There were
present at this tea twenty-four persons,
men. women and children, and all rela-
tives After the tea at the Point, all
were ready to go home.
There were four boats to convey them
to the other end of the pond, one large
one and three small ones. Wareham
A. Chase, owner of the large boat, took
one of the small boats and started to
carry some of the party across. Before
leaving, he requested Mr.. Lafayette
Tichout, who then had charge of the
large boat, to wait until his return, as
there would be some twenty persons
left at the Point after the three small
boats had taken their loads. Mr.. Chase
enioined upon those who remained that,
in no case. more than ten were to getln-
to the large boat.
After Mr.. Chase had gone with the
small boat, the remaining people, per
suaded by Mr.. Tichout, or convinced
that there was no danger, and that the
boat would safely carry all, concluded
to embark in the large boat. When they
were on board, Mr.. Tichout started from
the shore, the boat having sixteen per
sons upon it. The boat is said to haVt
been a sort of scow, composed in reall'
tv two boats fastened together, side BY
Side. with seats and railipgs to make i
comfortable.
When few rods from shore, twenty
or thirty, the water was found to be bill
/ ing in quite rapidly. On one side OF IN
/! double boat pump was used by a wo
man, and that side somewhat Hghseneo
so that the passengers thought It best 4es ! I

The Car Hook ia Chicago.

Hin affray occurred in a Cottage Grove
avenue car, last evening, that may result
in the death of two men At about 9
o'clock a'drunken man took passage on
a car, and conducted himself in such
manner as to become offensive to the
other passengers, and the driver ordered
him off. He refused to comply with
the demand, and the driver felt called
upon to use force. In the scuffle that
ensued tire car official struck the man on
the head with the car-hOok. The blow
seemed to have no effect, for the drunk
en- fellow followed up the car and hurled
heavy stone at the driver The missile
struck a passenger named s. NJ. Elder. a
conductor on the Michigan Central Rail-
ROAD, residing at Kalamazoo, in the fore
head, producing a dangerous wound.
The injured man was taken to the Office
of DR.. PurdY, in the Otis Block, and
thence TO his boarding house. The
skull is slightly fractured; and it viii be
impossible to determine the result for
two or three days. As soon as the stone
was thrown, the drunken man ran down
Monroe street and escaped. In about
half an hour afterward the watchman of
Potter PalmeT's Hotel heard groans en-
anating from the Monroe-street en-
trance, and on proceeding to the spot
found man lying on the iron sheeting
that forms the ceiling of the basement.
He was so week from loss of blood that
he could not walk, but he was con-
scious, and informed the watchman that
car-driver had struck him with a hook.
He gave his name as John Laydon, and
stated that he roomed at No. 378 Wa
bash avenue, where he was taken. His
head was seriously cat, ana the wound
appears TO be 10 all respects as severe as
that sustained by Mr. Elder he will
be arrested as soon as he is able To leave
his bed.
