would, perhaps, be the spiked portcuilis.
The knout also has a rival in the tail OF

lobe IS nearly as long as the body OF the
fish and very muscular. 1t is curved like

GETTING 4 PASTOR OUT

In a rural Presbyterian congregation
in the western section of Canada, the
people. for various reasons, were DESTROYS
Of a change in the pastorate. A meeting
was called to consider bow the desired
change could be effected. All were
agreed that though the pastor was a
learned, laborious, amiable, and excellent
man. he was exceedingly prosy and I'M
interesting as a preacher. 1t was re-
solved, therefore, that deputation should
be sent respectfully to ask him to demit
his CHARGE. No one was ready to under
take the difficult and delicate task. At
last two elders were induced to go and
talk with the minister about the matter.
They went on their mission with no lit
tie trepidation, but were greatly relieved
NV the cordial manner in which the good
minister received them. He listened
quietly to their hesitatingly told story,
and at once acquiesced in their desire
that he would resign. Elated with their
success, they hastened to report the re-
suits to the people. All were greatly
gratified at the prospect of such an am
icable arrangement and feeling some
sense of gratitude to the minister for his
many years of service, and especially for
his ready compliance with their wishes,
they determined to present him with an
address and purse. A public meeting
of the congregation was held, at which
the pastor was invited to be present, an
address was read to him containing
strong expressions of appreciation and
gratitude for his manifold labors and O.
strong personal affection for himself, anc
the purse was handed to him as a tokeT
of their continued esteem.
On rising to reply, the pastor wa
deeply moved, and spoke with talterinl
voice. He stated that, influenced by thu
statements of the elders who had calleC
upon him, he had resolved at much ex
pense of feeling to himself, to resign hi
charge. Pausing for a minute as
overcome with emotiOn--nOt a few o
the tender.hearted betraying their sym
pathy with him--he went on TO say tina
| in view Of the afibCtionate and touching
address he had just received, so yer,
numerOusely signed, and accompanies
by so generous a gin, he felt cOnstraine,
to abandon his purpose, and would there
fore remain with them, and devote hi
future life to the best interests of
people who were so warmly attached /
him, and who 30 highly valued his hum
BILE services.
The reply was 50 obviously dictateD
BY genuine simplicity that no one at tn
time had the courage to rise and explain
That minister II still pastor Of the sam
parish. The incident transpired som
ten 81 twelve years ago, and contains
good moral.

LIGHTNING STROKES.

The fact that on the bodies of persons
struck by lightning are at times to be
found the outline impression of adjacent
natural objects, has prompted investiga-
ton as to the true nature and cause of
this phenomenon. The following incident
as recorded by Professor W. q. Brown,
of the university of Georgia, will doubt
less recall to our readers others Of a sim
liar character, which have come within
their knowledge or personal observation:
On the 18th of July, 1875, stroke of
lightning fell upon house in Americas,
Georgia, rendering insensible for brief
period three persons-a child and two
adults-who were sitting in one of the
rooms. The two outer sides of this room,
which was at a corner of the house, had
each one window, and tree stood in
front of each window, about twelve feet
distant. A third tree a locust, stood
opposite the corner of the house, at a
distance about the same as the others.
1t was this tree which was actually struck
by the bolt, the other two remaining I'M
injured. At the instant Of the stroke
the three persons within were rendered
insensible for time, and, on their recOv-
cry, there were found impressed upon
the bodies Of them all more or less dis
tinct images of the tree which was struck.
The child, who stood near the centre of
the room, was impressed upon the back
and exactly opposite upon the stomach.
The entire tree was plainly to be seen,
every limb, branch, and even the severed
part, being faithfully reproduced. The
same impressions, though broken and
less complete, were to be seen on the
other occupants. The marks were not,
however, of a permanent character, hav-
ing become indistinct before month
had elapsed. Though, as has already
been suggested, this occurrence is neither
rare nor an unfamiliar one, yet we
have till the present time received nc
satisfactory explanation Of it.

DOG REsURRECTED BY TRANSACTION
OF BLooD.-The Buffalo Express says ::
The other day a delicate and difficult
surgical operation was performed at
the medical college, in illustration of
the theory of the transmission of blood,
The operation took place under the
direction of Prof Mason, teacher of
physiology, and was witnessed by the
entire faculty, the students and a
large number of other persons. Two
dogs were secured, one a little larger
than the other. They were both placed
under the influence of ether and rendered
insensible. One end of a thin rubber
tube, filled with bicarbOnate of soda, to
keep the blood from coagulating, was then
inserted into the carotid artery of dog
No. |, the larger one, and the other end
into the jugular vein of dog No. 2. The
tube was securely fastened, SO that there
was no danger of its slipping. A vein
was then opened in the latter and all the
blood drawn off until respiration ceased,
and the dog was to all intents and pur
poses dead. by the aid of an air-pump
artificial respiration was kept up in the
body and the blood turned ON through
the tube from dog No. l. In few min
utes, after about four ounces Of blood had
been transferred into the carcass of the
dog, he began to breathe, His respira-
tons gradually returned and in short
time were nearly as strong as before the
operation.
