Ludicrous Scene il q Pulpit

Ludicrous Scene il 8 Pulpit.
\ South German paper relates the
following
In ia Bavarian town OF the most pro-
nouuced Catholic orthodoxy the priest
preached lately against the Old Catholics
and related such horrible things about
them that his pious hearers were literally
horror stricken at Old Catholic mpietics
Al last the preacher cried out. The
Old Catholics are so vile that they will
all be cast into the pit, aud il what say
is not true may the devil take me now on
the spot
His excitement was terrible. aud he 50
struck the cushion that the book fell
from 1T
Not far from the pul pit was seated an
American, who had II negro servant with
him, TO whom he bcckoued to take the
book up to the priest, who, perhaps, had
never seen one Of those sous al Ham in
his life. The negro at once oheyed, and
as he mounted the lowest Of the pulpit
steps the clcrgyman repeated his wish,
that the devil might come aud take him
if what he bad said against the Old
Catholics was not true.
Although the negro went softly, the
preacher heard his footsteps, and turning
round, saw Il black object soleinuly steadi.
ly, surely approaching him. lie gazed
at him with terror, aud believing that
the next moment he would be collared by
his Satanic Majesty, he cried out with
trembling voice:
at is, after all possible that there
may be good people among the Old
Catholics
Then turning round to see il the object
had disappeared, he saw it steadily ap.
preaching. The perspiratiou bust out
upon his brow. aud full Of despair he
called out
There are even many good people
among the Old Catholics :"
Thinking that this would suffice, he
turned rouud, but what was his horror 20
find that the object was close at hand.
Imagining himself in the very grasp OF
Beelzebub, turning partly to the negro
and partly 10 the congregation, he cried
out:
MAY The devil come aud take me il all
the Old Catholics are not better lhau we
are :"
The terrified priest tainted from the
fright, and it was only after some time
thar he recovered

y new circular compass. the invention
OF Frenchman, is attracting much at
tenllon. The feature of special note in
this device Is, that the magnetic force
resides not IN II bar or needle. as in the
ordinary instrument hut ia Hat steel
ring, magnetized, with its poles at two
opposite extremities OF the same diameter.
This ring, supported on an aluminium
traverse, plvoted on agate at its center,
has attached to it the ordinary compass
card, and acts promptly aud efficiently the
following advantages being claimed for
1t, viz: \ magnetic power double that
OF the needle whose leugth is the diameter
OF the ring second two neutral points
instead OF one, as in the needle, whence it
happens that none Of the magnetism
escapes, aud that strong sparks. like those
from the lloltz machine, do not derange
the poles: third, better and more
prompt performances OF the compass, the
cards seeming 10 float, as it were, in
liquid; fourth, large increase in the
senstiveness Of the instrument fifth, the
ability to regulate the magnetic intensity
OF the ring, and thus to compensate for
local causes. This is effected by means

than and inside Of the first, the position

WEST TorsHAM-We had supposed that after
having so severe cold and clustering weather
through the month OF January we should have
some days in February that were not quite so Sc
we're; but February thus far has been colder and
more clustering than January. Last Saturday,
the snow fell some five six inches, and Saturday
night and Sunday morning 1t was piled in heaps
incredibly high The highways were so blockaded
that those who would attend church could not get
there, except few living in the immediate vicin-
ity OF the meeting house. Water is very scarce
those having stock have to drive 1t quite distance

any frost in them before have frozen quite hard

and they were compelled 10 cut off the chain be-

DEATH By PoIsoN.-Dr. Erasmus d. Warner, Of
New Haven Mills, well known throughout the
state died ON Monday morning from taking an
overdose OF hydrate of chloral. For year past
he has been an invalid, and has been obliged to
take several doses daily To relieve his ufferngs,
his usual dose being ten grains. Saturday after
he went to his trunk and through mistake took
out the bottle that contained the choral in bulk,
and, as near as can be estimated, took four hum
dred and eighty grains. lie Immediately became
totally unconscious, and fingered In that state for
forty-two hours when death closed the scene.
Dr. Warner was born in the town of New Haven,
June 10, 1906 lie was graduate OF Castleton
medical college. He was member OF the legisla-
ture from New Haven in 1889 and 1910. Also q
member OF the senate from Addison county for
two years, and state commissioner OF the insane
for two years. lie was among the pioneers and
remained until his death among the foremost
| irinds Of temperance in the state.
A singular coincidence is the fact, that several
years ago DIR. Warner, OF Bristol, brother OF the
above, died from mistake in taking dose OF
medicine He was In the Legislature and being
nnwell took, a. he supposed, dose of morphine.
II proved to be strychnine and was fatal And
now his brothers death Is caused by an overdose
