MOOdy's Remarkable Stories.

Mr. Moody read the goth chapter of
Second Chronicles, and in the course of
few informal remarks told the follow
ing remarkable story illustrating the
power of prayer Z" once knew" he
said, a little cripple, who lay upon her
death-bed. She had given herself to
God, and was distressed only because
she could not labor for him actively
among the lost. Her clergyman visited
her, and hearing her complaint told her
that there, from her sick bed, she could
offer prayers for those whom she wished
to see turned to God. He advised her
to write the names down, and then pray
earnestly, and then he went away and
thought of the subject no more Soon a
feeling of great religious interest sprang
up in the village, and the churches were
crowded nightly. The little child heard
of the progress of the revival, and in
quired anxiously for the names saved
A few weeks later she died, and among
the roll of papers that was found uudel
her little pillow was one bearing tn,

names of 56 persons, every one Of whom
had in the revival been converted by
each name was little cross, by which
the poor little crippled saint had check
ed off the names of the converts as they
had been reported to her"
1t is safe to say that no man OF Mr.
Moody's age has met with so many won
derlul and narrowing cases the past ~
wears as has he. There has not been a
topic preached that he has not had
ready story that embodied all the sal
lent features of the point to be carried,
and that was, by the carefully wrought
details irresistibly conclusive. One Sun
day he delivered the same sermon to wo-
men in the afternoon and to men IN the
evening. The point to be established
was regeneration through the spirit, and
to the women he tenderly repeated the
conversation of dying child with its
mother, and the mothers final submis-
sion to Gods will. AT night he told the
men story remarkably similar in all its
details, except that father, instead OF
mother sat by the bedside holding the
hand of the dying child,

A Fowl Statement.

A curious statement has been made
and published in French paper in re-
gard to hens 1t reckons the number of
hens in France at 100000, valued at
S20,000,000. OF these about one-hfth
are killed annually for the market
There is an annual net production Of
80,000,000 chickens, which in market
yield S24,000,000. The extra value to
be added for capons, fatted hens, and the
like, is put at $2,200,000. The produc-
ton of eggs is reckoned at an average
OF 100 eggs per hen, worth s4S. 100000.
In all, it is reckoned that the value Of
hens, chickens and eggs sold in the mar
ket of France, is s80,000,0O0.
Eggsactly. The above is an extraor-
binary statement in the aggregate, but
here is an individual that is considerably
ahead. A little boy in this county has
the past season had charge of IL hens,
mostly of the Bramah breed, and has Sc
cured 1872 dozen of eggs from last Mar.
until the first of November. This would
be IL dozen or 1872 eggs as the average
product per hen, which must be consid'
cred an unusually good yield. A com
mission of so much on a dozen was al
lowed on the eggs, and a strict account
was kept from day to day, entirely il
the head, during the time mentioned
1t may be added that the money thus re
allied is in the bank of the Trust Com
pany at St. Adams, as a second deposit
in the little boys name, and be is nov
only II years old.
Will other little boys and girls, too
please take notice.

A New Air Ship.
BALLOON WHICH CAN BE sTEERED "A
TRIAL TRIP SOON TO BE MADE FROM
BALTIMORE.

BALLOON WHICH CAN BE sTEERED A
TRIAL TRIP SOON TO BE MADE FROM
BALTIMORE.
Mr.. f. w. Schroeder, an aronaut of
Baltimore, thinks that he has solved the
vexed problem which brought Darius
Green and his Flying Machine" to grief.
His new patent air ship is thus describ-
ed by correspondent The skeleton OF
the ship is made of double o wire, brac-
ed lengthwise by single o wire. The
ship itself is eighty-fve feet long, nine
feet high, and eight feet wide, and its
shape resembles long steamship hull,
with the exception that the fore and aft
projections extend about seven feet from
the body of the ship. The iron shafts
run lengthwise, the pushing propeller
being attached to one end, and the pull
ling propeller to the other, in order
that they can be worked to the best adj
vantage, and to allow the ship to turn
around on its own pivot in the air. I'm
derneath are two rudders, one fore and
one aft, for steering purposes. On max
ing the ascent, the pulling propeller
will be put in motion, assisted by the
pushing propeller and the rudders, and
thus the inventor confidently expects to
be able to go whithersover he will. The
ship is attached to the balloon by 1897
ropes, situated at equal distances apart
in order to preserve as exact a balance
as possible. The capacity of the balloon
is 265.Sl0 cubic feet. Hydrogen gai
will be used, and this substance is 81
light that it is calculated that one cubic
foot will have a lifting power of one anC
three quarter ounces, thus making tn,
lifting power of the balloon about 30,
900 pounds, or nearly fifteen TONS It'll
not probable that the balloon will be in
fated to its full capacity, in as much a
the extreme rarefaction of the air a
great attitudes tend to withdraw the out
side pressure from the balloon, and tn
hydrogen inside, thus relieved of outwar
pressure. will expand the more readil
and perhaps burst the balloon. But e
timating the capacity at an amount lie:
than that given, the balloon will easil
have lifting power of ten tons, viii
the weight of the apparatus, the ga
balloon, netting, ship and machinery
but 1890 pounds, or two and two-fftl
tons.
HOW THE BALLOON Is FASTENED TO TIL
SHIP.
The balloon is fastened to the ship
such a manner that it cannot sway
and fro, SO it is impossible for the bs

together with the shed and several bush
els of oats, which it contained.
- On Friday two weeks, the dwelling
house of d. & N. j. Baldwin OF VOL
colt was discovered to be on fire, and be
fore the flames could be extinguished,
the house with a good share of the con-
tents, was destroyed. The property was
insured for about $500.
VIM. Cooley of Waterbury has in
vented jar to be made OF stone or
earthen, in which to keep butter perfect
" sweet any length of time, it being
sealed, and remaining alright until
wanted for market, when it is easily
transferred to new tubs in which 1T is
shipped.
- Edward Griffin, of East Arlington,
while recently at work around athresh-
ing machine, met with very sad acci-
dent. The belt had been removed from
the machine, when STOPPING down to re-
move some straw from under 1t, his right
hand was caught in the machinery, scrap
ing the flesh from it, leaving the bones
bare. 1t was amputated at the wrist
and he is doing well.
Il. l.. Sheldon, a prominent farmer
of Rupert, was killed Thursday Nov

He was found wedged between two fal
len trees, dead. 1t is supposed he cut
tree which partly fell, lodged in another

porting one the first one fell and kille'
him.
&C. B. Munson's residence in Manch
ester, had narrow escape from cont1a
grafton the other day, and the origin
the FIRE is mysterious Some of the fan
lily during the day, discovered the ode

back chamber was found to be full {
smoke. On examination box file
with pieces of linen and cotton and
few wooden goods was found to be o
fire, one end of the box having burne
through when discovered. No membt
OF the family had been to the box for
long time, and whether the fire was tt
result of a spontaneous combustion
whether match had accidently got in
the box and ignited by the mice wi
perhaps never be known.

loon to get out at perpendicular posi-
ton. The ship has two masts, fore ana
aft, which reach up to the equator OF the
balloon. On the top Of each mast
large wire cap is fastened to the netting
perpendicular, and the balloon itself is
fastened to the netting all around its
EQUATOR. In case of an explosion the
lower part of the balloon ascends, falls
into the netting, and half of the balloon
forms large parachute, the balloon de-
sends for short distance with great
rapidity, when the air presses up under
meath, the parachute spreads out, and
the descent is made more gradually.
The steering apparatus and propeller
are set in motion, the rotary movement
commences, and the balloon goes down
in circle like an eagle spreading Its
wings. The balloon is made of cambria
muslin, of which 1900 yards have been
used in its manufacture, and the length
of rope used is nearly twenty-one miles,
The pulling and pushing propellers are
worked by cranks, four men at each
crank. and the work in the lower cur
rents about three hundred and fifty rev.
olutions a minute, increasing the num-
Der of revolutions with the increase in
height.
Aided by the pulling and pushing pow
err, the inventor Gains that he will be
capable of making the ship stand still
in the air over any given point. Prac
teal use will be made Of this advantage
by taking a photographer along, for thu
purpose of securing Photographic view
of certain sections of the country. From
certain height in the air he say
he can see the bottom of any body o
water, no matter how deep. The pho
tographic views which he proposes t
have taken will be chiefly useful to tn
Typographical Corps.
WHAT THE INVENTOR HOPES TO DIsCoY
Err.
Mr.. Schroeder says that his experienc
has proven to him that the higher a
mospheres approaching the North Pol
where the lower currents increase
cold, the upper currents increase
warmth, and he is therefore confdei
that he is capable Of sailing over tn
region andfnding that for which million
have been spent and many valuab
lives lost--a passage to the open Poll
Sea. The first ascent will be made
! about two weeks, and will be quite {
event in Baltimore. Besides his Gig
assistants at the propellers, Mr.. Schr'
der has invited the representatives
e the press to go with him. The confer
plated route is from Baltimore to Ne
y York, stopping over at Wilmington al
Philadelphia for the purpose of TAXI
e photographs of those cities. 1t has bee
\ estimated, from the calculations al
experiments thatan average speed ofsix
- or seventy miles an hour can be kept
j in a moderate current Of air. In stroI
= er currents the speed will be less,
though greater than that made on O
70 best railroads.
