KILLED BY A FALLING TREE.
John Williams, of Bridgewater, was
killed Thursday of last week, as is sup
posed, by falling tree. He went into
the woods after dinner to get cord OF
wood, and failing to return, his father,
an old gentleman, nearly blind, started
out after him. Neither father nor son

search after dark for the missing. She
first found the elder Mr.. Williams, and
going a little further came upon the

gineer could be signaled. The car was
kept near the rails by the Miller coup

The Grafton school lyceum recently

that they have an excellent Prior as well

A Patent Sermon.

Fellow brethren and sistern-men,
women and children, Unfortunately
and particularly, you needn't hustle
the pages for the text, for it ain t
there. 1t is special dispensation to
your beloved pastor, and he therefore
hurls it right in your molars.
Where the hen scratches there she
expects to find a bug" Have you
come from the race track of fashion to
parade your trotting harness before
the meek and lswly? Have you
dropped the dazzling gaities of bust
ness to while away the idls hours list
ening to tho mournful melodies that
are rung by angel hands upon the
dropping willows of mortality? Or
are you in a tussel with the arch enc
enemy, the almighty dollar? Verify
| say unto you, where the hon
scratches there she expects to find
bug"
My drowsy hearers: We are all
us a lot of damaged goods, trying to
palm off on each other for more than
our market value. The old firm of
Time, Death and Co. is doing heavy
commission business on our stock of
trade. hear the mechanical tap, tap,
tap, and the stolid monotone of going,
going, going, and the next moment it
will come down on some of our uncon-
cious heads and we shall be folded up
like the tents of the Arabs and as 81
lently borne to the "other side of Jor-
dan, where the dry goods man refrains
from troubling US and the grocer has
nothing to say, where the weary hen
ceases from scratching and the precious
bug is found.
"In the midst Of life we are in debt, !"
says a notable prophet, who was near
kin to your beloved pastor. If you
are tempted to tarry in the tavern of
life, and fail to settle with the land
lord, may the text rise up before you
like the fabulous Arabian, here only
to wrestle with the rough and tumble
giant, but deter you from that sink of
utter depravity, where the bummers
lead forth the trustful hens to scratch
up the bug that they may devour.
Your individual attention is fur
thermore solicited to the language of
the text Metaphorically and collec-
lively speaking in small passages to
suit the capacity, from the small boy
in the corner to the hard hearted sin
ner who stalks so loudly into your
presence. Woe unto you, young wo-
man with your coal-scuttle bonnets
and streamers flying, for you are van
ity of vanities, and you, young man,
with your neck-cloths so gay, go on

A Question About Ventilation.
ECKHART, MD, Dec. 12, 1875.

ECKHART, MD, Dec. IL, 1875.
Mr.. Editor :-Premising that | am
very much interested in Mr.. Rooney's
autobiography, and admitting that it
takes mining philosopher to talk
about the Philosophy of Ventilation"
| cannot think it was in good taste to
refer to Mr. Roy as a trespasser upon
Mr.. Gains domain in the manner he
did. 1t is well enough to give US
school-worn definitions of the "atmos-
phere, but to make unnecessary per-
sonal references seems to belittle the
wisdom of the wisest
Aside from this Mr.. Rooney's auto
biography is an extremely able paper.
He tells us bluntly just how it is.
What has been puzzle to the world
of miners, to him is easier than wax
work. He says, for instance
1t is thus forced everywhere it can find
space to occupy hence, shafts mines and
other caverns, are constantly filed and, to
obtain circulation, all that is wanting is a
proper outlet.
But why an "outlet," and to where =?
Into the space beyond the forty five
miles ? If not, how about this great
"pressure'" upon the "outlet ?" Sup
pose we have equal pressure at the
opening and "outlet," will not the re-
suit be standstill, according to Mr..
Rooney's autobiography? ct is un-
derstood we are Ignoring artificial
means of ventilation" in these ques-
tions.) 1t is true, he attributes it in a
sort Of way to a "predisposed quality"
called "cwculation. We think we
know what the quality" is without
the "predisposition;" will Mr.. Rooney,
in the next edition of his autobiogra-
ply, teach us what the "predisposi-
ton" is without the "quality?' ?' We
are all waiting; even the school child
ren hereabout are crying for it." No
crawfshing, Mr. Rooney, but come
down strong on the transparent cir
culation, and the "elastic invisible" "
Let US have the facts as you see EN-;
the more they diagree with "old
Physics" the more fun.
