Unexpectedly. Its approach had been her
aided by consumption, so strikingly that
the end for many days previous to its COM

resignation becoming q christian, and in
perfect accord with the characteristics of
his honcred father, James Mathers, dcceas-
ed, sno his beloved grandfather, Rev. John
| Hutchinson, deceased, both of this place,
he locked at death without apprehension or
terror. Believing, however, that it is proper
TO employ all means extended to man By an
all-wise Providence for The restoration OF
impaired health, he took advice of medical
men and visited the South last winter, to
receive whatever benefit might accrue to
his system by sojourn in that cline. But
God had appointed the time to call him to
dwell with him above, and all the balm of
Air and lite of sunshine of the South were

unImproyed, to Sidney, content to leave
this world. With the expectancy of his
death constantly present with them to for
tify them against impulsiye manifestation of
sorrow, his friends here could not resist the
on receiving the announcement of his death.
They knew his father, and no more upright
and honorable lawyer ever esp FUSED the
cause of a friend or advised a client. The
family was known to the people OF this
county, and was honored by them Though
the son tarried only long enough in his ma
tive place to reach commanding place as
young lawyer, the affection that the pco-
pie had for the father was ever ready to be
extended to HIM. After filing 8 term IS

TO Sidney, Ohio. He located there in 1856,
and soon reached, and has ever since held,
a most prominent place at the bar in that
county. at the time OF his death he was
aged about i5 years. A wife and three
children mourn for him on this side the
grave. That they may see in this most sad
bereavement the wisdom of God, as the
husband and father saw il IN his aff,iction,

A CHURCH in Nottingham, Manitoba,
recently had double service of most
ipfelicitious character. A quarrel had
divided the congregation, and each
party claimed to be dominant. Each
had called q new minister, and the two
clergymeu we're on hand to begin their
labors. The FIRST to arrive took pos
session of the pulpit and the other sat
behind the chaucel rail. The man in
the pulpit gave out hymn, the other
man gave out another, aud both we're
sung confusedIy by the rival sections
of the assembly. Then the man be-
hind the railing started off on his SER
mon, and the other began to read por-
ton of Scripture. When the reading
was over and il was plain that the
preaching was going to last much longer,
the parti.ans of the reader sung another
hymn with q loud organ accompsnl-
meut. The musical noise drowned the
voice of the clergyman in the pulpit.
but when 1t was found to be preaching
right along as though nothing unusual
had happened. The clergyman in the
chancel, less cool, was unable to FIX his
thoughts on discourse, and so remain
ed silent and beaten. At the close Of
this extraordinary scene deacon ex-
planned that it had been enacted "under
legal advice and to further the cause OF
Christ" 1t is more easy to under
stand about the legal advice than how
such belligerent proceedings were cal
culated to "further the cause Of Christ.
