yesterdag-they dedicated tr The Almighty

BILE Methodist Episcopal Churches on the
peninsula, south of Wilmington.

were at work with ropes aud pulleYs try
Ing to draw the animal out OF his close
quarters, but Ii was soon discovered that
he was wedged in So tightly that he could
rot be raised without taking out the
walls Of the we'll. This was no pleasant
work, exposed TO the cold rain which
was falling all day, but all hands fell TO
work with a will, and after removing tho
wall and placing the rope around his
horns, by means of pulleys above, he
was gradually raised, and straw and
manure worked under him until be Has
brought to the top, being eight hours In

reached the top he did not seem hurt, but
mrrched off TO the stable as though
nothing had happened.
