Killed While nt Worship.

Richard s. Shreve was the Methodist
preacher OF the Botetourt circuit Va, and
the Rev. John Shreve was the Methodist
preacher on an adjoining circuit. On the
1st inst, these brothers, with the wife ofthe
first, had been visiting friend and re-
turned to the house of the first named near
night. The evening meal had been pre-
pared, and before partaking Of it, family
prayer was proposed. Mr.. r. s. Shreve
has several children, the eldest of which is
seven. The youngest of them being fret
full, the mother directed the eldest to take
all of them into an adjoining room and to
quiet them during worship. The adult per-
sons then seated themselves forfamily wor-
ship, Mr.. John Shreve one side of the win
dow, Richard Shreve seating himself in
front Of the window, and the servant girl
was seated near table in the centre of the
room. The Bible had just been passed
to John Shreve to commence the service,
when the death dealing electric stroke
came. The heavens were overcast with
dark, angry clouds, and a few scattering
drops of water had fallen as the only pre-
monitions or precursors of that awful
electric stroke. The eldest of the children
came into the room Immediately after the
report, and surveyed the scene, and gives
the only Ineligible account. Her father
and mother were prostrated on the floor
Mr.. John Shreve was staggering about the
room, uttering some incoherent words and
soon fell to the floor. The servant was
paralyzed with terror. The little girl
thought to place her hand over her fathers
heart, and it was still beating. The near
est neighbor was half mile distant. The
servant girl unacquainted with the road,
and finally the eldest girl, leaving the
other children in that house of death,
piloted the servant girl through the storm
to the nearest neighbor for aid. The Rev.
John Shreve recovered, but the electric
bolt did its perfect work with r. Shreve
and his wife, furnishing one of the most
startling exemplifications on record of the
truth of the line in the burial service in
the book of common prayer, to wit "In
the midst Of life we are in DEATH"

CB- Bill McKenna, of Grafton, New
York, gotup early the other morning. He
was nervous and ugly. He took his revol-
yer from a drawer, cleaned it carefully,
and loaded every chamber. He said he
was impressed that he should shoot some
body before night He didn't know why
he felt so, exactly, but that was the way
he felt, although he had no idea whom he
was going to shoot. After breakfast he
sauntere6 around with fierce scowl on
his face. He was moody and reserved, but
to a confidential friend he showed his re-
volver, and said he had strong PRESENT.
ment that he would shoot somebody be-
fore night. The rumor spread that Nc
Kenna was bad that day, and social inter
course with him was circumspectly in
offensive. Many times his hand wandered
to his pistol pocket, and toyed with the
handle of the deadly weapon These move
ments caused uneasiness among those who
noticed them, and because they remember
ed mis- impression that he would shoot
somebody before night. Finally Bill Nc
Kenna went home, and began to undress
for bed. He took the revolver from his
pocket, and said he was so glad that he
hadn't shot anybody after ALL He pulled
the hammer back to full cock, and was
going to take out the cylinder TO clean it.
His hand unwillingly touched the trigger.
Bang went charge, and up went bullet
into his shoulder. After the ball had been
extracted, McKenna said he had felt all
day as though he was going to shoot some
body.

Animals auG Firearms.

That crows and many other species of
birds have little fear of man when lie Is un-
armed is a familiar fact. and Suggests that
they fear him chiel, because oil the weapons
lie carries. In Scotland. where shooting
was prohibited on Sunday, crows and rocks
were gentle, and fed around buildings with
out concern. Siugulariy enough. the same
thing was observed of animals BY DR.. Tris-
tram when travelling in the wilderness Of
Moab, where the solnd of a gun is quite
rare. lie says
1--WE were struck with the Sagacitv which
all the wild animals showed iu tie matter
Of firearms, little familiar as they can lie
with them here. As it was Sunday. we
strolled or sat down among the ruins with
out our fowling-pieces. and were conse-
qucntly objects of indifference. A fine fox
sat and looked at US dozen times among
the stone heaps, and jlst walked away,
keeping almost within gunshot all the after
noon. The Sakkr falcon sat calmly on his
fsvorite perch and allowed US to reconnOiter
him on Sunday, While the eagle, owls, sand
grouse and partridge, showed similar con-
tempt for unarmed Europeans.
