 Beecher, of Winsted,- has bought farm there and is opening an immense quarry of the most solid, beautiful granite. In
 doing so, the men have taken off from the
 rocks on the hill, the earth, perhaps two feet deep, thus exposing great extent of the surface of the rock, and here can be
 seen what I have in vain looked for dur ing the last thirty years; long marks cut deep into the rock, and great many of them too, looking exactly as if sharp

 Adam, when the world was being fitted
 up for him to live on, before these hills
 were raised up, the icebergs or glaciers
 filled with rocks, moved to the southeast
 over these hills. and now We see the tracks
 they left. H. N.

 At MARBLEDALE, on Wednesday after noon, painful accident happened to Mir Edward Hnnt. He was at work getting out stone in a field near his house, as- sisted by his hired man, George Bennett. A large, long stick of timber was being useRby them in prying up the rocks, when 1t suddenly broke, flew around and stuck Mir. Hunt on the left side of the head, cutting ragged gash three or four inches long, and tearing up the scalp in 8 frightful manner. He was immediately taken to the house and Dr. Lyman was sent for to dress the wound. The medic- al gentleman was soon on hand, and the hurt was carefully attended to. Providing the skull is not fractured, it is thought the wound will not prove extremely serious. MT. Hunt represented New Milford in the legislature last Spring. -Jomnol.

How Coffee was Discovered.
TO BE CONTINUED.

We read a quaint story con-
cerning the discovery of this
favorite beverage. Towards the
middle of the fteenth century
a poor Arab was travelling in
AbysSinnia, and, finding him
self weak and weary from ia
tigue, he stopped near a grove.
Then being in want of fuel to
cook his rice, he cut down a
tree which happened to be cov-
cred with dead berries. His
meal cooked and eaten, the
traveller discovered that the
half burned berries were very
fragrant. He collected a num-
Der of these, and, on crushing
them with a stone, he found
that their aroma had increased
to a great extent. While Won
dering at this, he accidentally
let fall the substance in a can
which contained his scant sup
ply of water. Lo, what a mir
acle The almost putrid liquid
was instantly purified. He
brought it to his lips; it was
fresh, agreeable, and in a mo-
ment after the traveller had so
far recovered his strength and
energy as to be able to resume
his journey The lucky Arab
gathered as many berries as he
could, and having arrived at
Arden, in Arabia, he informed
the Mufti of his discovery. That
worthy divine was an inveter-
ate opium smoker, who had
been suffering for years, from
the influence of that poisonous
drug, He tried an infusion Of
the roasted borries, and was SC
delighted at the recovery of his
own vigor, that in gratitude tC
the tree he called it cahuah
which in Arabic signifies force
And that is the way in which
coffee was discovered. !.

are trying to wheel into line
and put up their claims for the
preference as a common centre
around which to rally. But all
such efforts will fail of their OBJ
ject SO far as concentrating the
hosts Of Immanual on anything
like a sectarian and human
platform. The Union hasten,
and its day spring appears
brightly shining, but the basis
will be far above partisan and
denominational dogmatism, up

When God raised UP. Martin
Luther, the whole Romish
Church was inundated by a
corruption that was a stencil in
the nostrils of the priesthood
and monkhood itself, and an
abomination to all the world.
The sins of the Pope had tow
cred to heaven until every hon
est plebian or yeoman felt that
sun was under an eclipse. Leo
the X had set at his banquet of
wealth and pomp, regardless Of
the Charybdis Of woe gathering
in the cesspool of his corrupt
hierarchy. The most sacred
things of God had been con-
taminated, and no department
of society was safe from the
sneaking Nero of utter ruin.
1t was time that it would
have seemed that all the mass
es could have beheld the vile
corruptions of the Pope and his
Satellites.
Tetzel was ramnifying the
country under the reaction of
Leo selling his indulgences, and
supported by the legates and
devotees of the Vatican in the
vilest abuses and promulgation
of the corruptest lies, Eek,
Cajetan, Miltitz and others were
the loved defenders of such
vileness that the air seemed
filled with the miasma of moral
and spiritual death. This
Tetzel could not be content in
italy, but found his way into
the German provinces, and the
Dictatorship of Fredrick. He
entered Saxony and commenc.
ed operations and soon ap-
preached Wittenberg, and in
the face of the Wittenburg Uni
verSity and its noted Titantic
Luther, rallied and mocked, and
sold bis license to sin, to the
poor deluded commonwealth.
Luther could not endure this,
and at this moment another
drive was had by which Luther
split a little farther off from
> Rome. When he nailed up his
95 Theses on the Chapel Door,
it was the sound of open wal
between Luther and Leo x and
all Rome.
Luther was brave, yet cow
ardly on the account of his Ro.
mish tradition, and reverence
/. for the unholy Catholic Church
4 His ideas was to reform Rome
by staying with it, and in Sc
doing he sanctioned too many
of her corruptions, although ht
may have been honest of thi'
! we have no doubt. The steps
, of Luther in relation to Tetze
r and the Theses soon reused
: Romish indignation from Ger
many to Rome. The thunder'
broke out at Frankfort-o the
: Oder; pamphlets we're sent forth
and soon replies from Luther
