A MAN who received notice in the police court
notes of last week, called at the DEMOCRAT Office a
day or two afterward and talked like fool. He
spoke recklessly ofputting a sugarcoate head
on us, and "smackin' our snoot" lie would
probably have done so, but he was informed that
we didn't have our "snoot' with us at the time,
and he gave that up If any little cripple thinks
he can scarea great big wind mill like our re.
porter he is only laborlng undera concelted de-
lusion, and had better put his mind to work on
something more practical. That's all.

THE FIRST NJ f. CHURCH LAST SUNDAY.

THE FIRST N. +. CHURCH LAST SUNDAY.
Last Sunday was the day for holding the Quar-
terly Missionary Meeting of the Sunday School
connected with the First NJ. Il Church of Canton,
The meeting was held In the afternoon, In the
auditorium and besides the children, there was ii
large attendance Of grown persons from nearly all
congregations in the city The church, inside,
was beautifully ornamented and decorated with
plants flowers and hanging baskets five bird
cages containing canaries were also suspended In
different parts of the church. The exercises were
opened with music by the choir followed by
PRAYER and brief addresses by Revs, Kuhns and
Park. choir of little boys and another Of little
girls attracted great attention, and the irrepressi-
bic notes of the joyous birds mingling with the
voices of the children as they sang, created a
beautiful and novel effect. James S. Tonner sang
two solos, which were eXcellenty rendered-iil
short, Mr. Tonner Is one of the finest soloists We
have in this vicinity. Rev. c. W, Smith then ex-
planned the object of the meeting, which was in
substance to give to the children pleasant and
profitable afternoon, and to give the quarterly re-
port Of the mission society. A. Kilt read the re-
port, giving missionary statistics, local and gen
eral, and making all exhibit Of the work done
during the last quarter of their society, which re-
! fected great credit upon their energies, The tola
amount of money given to foreign missions by th'
Methodist schools throughout the country fol
1874, was SJO3 OOO for home missions, SS5OOOO
The meeting was one Of rare pleasure and prof
to children, and served to impress on their minds
the fact that their pennies, like grains of sand
helped to create such an immense result in good
cause.

MINED EOR LEE.

George, son of John o. Robinette, was riding a
Russell Rear Cut Machine. The seat of the ma.
chine breaking down, the boy, in trying to save
himself, fell with his right hand upon the bar and
his left one in front of the bar. The heel of his
right hand was cut of, and his left arm so badly
cut that amputation above the wrist was neces-
sary. Mr.. John 0. Robinette resides about one
mile from Middletown, Holmes county, o., where
the crippled boy now lives, one of the many living
and speaking witnesses of the fact that Rear Cut
Machines not only do tip inward to the knives,
but are dangerous in the extreme.

was said and generally believed that he was
in the constant habit of visiting the sentries
during the night, especially in the Crimea,
to sec if the men were at their post and on
the alert. The reader must be told that,
during campaign, the troops are often SO
much harassed and fatigued that sentries
will occasionally fall asleep as they stand
an act, however, which is looked upon as
one of the gravest of military offenses. If
Lufin found man asleep, he sat before
him in silence but the slightest sound of
approaching footsteps was sufficient to
make him apprise the sleeper of the danger
to which he was exposed. He would then
trot off to the next post, where he scarcely
halted if convinced that all was well.
am glad to be able to record the fact, that
his faithful services, in due time, obtained
for Lufin the respect of every member OF
the corps 1t would have been high
misdemeanor to offer him indignity.
