ACCIDENT TO THE FALMoUTH.-The steam :
er Falmouth, which arrived from Halifax
Thursday night, shows the marks of her col
1ision with the schooner John Stewart Sunday
noon. Captain Colby gives the following ac-
count of the affair: The schooner was sudden
ly discovered through the thick fog that pre-
vailed steering west SO to interrupt the
steamers course. The engines of the Fall
mouth were at once stopped and Captain Colby
shouted to the schooner to alter her course, but
the crew were SO confused finding themselves as
near as they were to the steamer, that the helm
was turned the wrong way. The schooner
struck the Falmouth little forward of her
pilot house on the starboard side, and stove a
large hole between her two decks. The schoon-
ers jib-boom broke off and was instantly fol-
lowed by her two masts. Her crew at once
took to their boats and went on board the
steamer. Captain Colby, however persuaded
them to go back to their vesrel, and sent his
second mate with them, who found on examn-
alton that there was no danger of sinking. Her
captain begged to be towed into some port and
his request was complied with. The damage
to the Falmouth will amount to about $780,

Brick POmeroy is each week publishing a
conversation between amember ofthc Grange
and monicd man, from which we copy the
following, which we trust will be read ara
needed. After all there is no place like
home"
One night in the Grange visiting Brother
gave us a social talk. He told, of home and
what home was. He said it was place to be
made beautiful A place to invest love, alice
ton, labor and magnetism; that it was a
place to grow to and not to grow away FROM
| He said tina, the world was filled with homes
last year which were more beautiful this, and
| would be more beautiful next year, as those
who live therein strive to make them beautl-
| full. He said that the happiest men were the
workers and home-tolks; that the unhappiest
men were the Spectators and office-hunters.
| He talked tc Us about half an hour, ana
the good common sense language which leli
| from his lips was better than two hundred
sermons, to many of us. He illustrated the
difference between making and spending
between gaddlng about and staying at home
