THE famous petrifed forest of Napa
County is Is miles from Healdsburg, by
way Of Windsor, and lies just across the
county line. The trees are all PROSTATE
and lie scattered quite thickly over an
extent Of SO acres. The proprietor of
the forest has lately been engaged in
digging away the soil and lava from the
partially buried trees. Lewis Face, Of
Covington, O., and L. r. Giles, of
Healdsburg, visited the place, this week,
and reported that the trees that have
been unearthed far surpass in size any
that have hitherto been discovered.
One fragment that appears to have been

The Fate OF Two Missing Boston Vessels aud
their Crews.

A singular report is current as to the
fate OF the Missing Boston bArks, the Jewess
and Della NJ. Long. A year ago last February
the Jewess sailed from New South Wales in the
direction of the Auckland Islands. n group In
the South Pacific ocean, near New Zealand. A
few days later the Delta VI. Long and an English
bark, name unknown. followed on the same
course No tidlngs OF the two Boston yes-
Brewer Of Biddcfnrd, Me- Of the bark
voyage around the world, brought back a terri
BILE story IN regard to them. At one Of the
ports at which he stopped he had fallen in with
sailor, or some one VINO knew hm, who pur-
ported to be the sole survivor Of the three
crews. The vessels, he said, had become becalm-
ed IN tho vicinity Of the Auckland Island and
lay there together several days. They were
boarded at night bv cgnnibals, who overplN "r-
ed the crews, plundercd the ships and scu.-
tied them. The men were carr 4 pris-
oners to the shore, and furnished food
for a feast Of the natives. The survivor
was one OF the crew of the Jewess, and
lac is said to have related that the surprise was
complete, the vessels being some distance from
land ana no signs Of enemies having been seen.
The usual precaution taken when ship Is be-
calmed In the vicinity Of land Inhabited by saw
ages IL TO drive sharp nails, placed closely to-
gether, through boards, which are placed over
the decks and fastened firmly down, leaving the
sharp points sticking up. II is then Impossible
for the barefoOted saNages to step uIon the
deck, ana they are shot on at leisure. This pre-
caution was not taken on hoard the Jswess, be-
cause no danger was suspected.

The Union Hill Education Board at its

" That the customary reading OF the Bible at the

that the Bible should still be read, but Mr. c. A,

"wANDHRING hrANGELIsTs."
Beecher's Estimate of the Labors and Innu-
ence Of Moody and Sankey.

Beecher's EstimRte OF the Iabor- and lnnu-
ence Of Moody and Sankey.
Mr.. Beecher yesterday morning prayed
for those wandering evangelists," Messrs.
Moody and sankey, asking that they might not
be rendered vain or self-conscious by the praises
OF men, but attribute all the fruits Of their work
to the benencence OF God. His own praise OF
the reviyAlists, or at all events OF Mr. Moody,
was by no means unqualified. In his sermon he
said he had listened recently with profound in
terest to the words OF the eyanRelists. As q
minister II had not often been his privilege
TO hear so stirring sermon from q lay
man. He reJoiced heart and soul 10
the success God had given Moody. lie
had not been so moved for . great while as
when he saw one worshipper rising to ask the
congregation TO pray for brother, another for
afather, and a third for a husband or a child.
He heard Mr.. Moody speak Of incessant prayer
unanswered for fifteen years, and relate several
touching instances Of the abiding faith that
at last rewarded. "Ah, Mr.. Moody" said Mr..
Beecher, you were mistaken In that no man
ever yet prayed for fifteen years without his
prayer being answered. Not. perhaps, precisely
In the way he desired at the time, but with a
munincence that far surpassed all his anticipa-
tions. The answer came, and will always come,
In the increased faith, 10 the sublime resgna-
ton that enabled him TO pray steadfastly for
fifteen years.
