FAREWELL SEEMoN.-Rev. j. r..
Thompson, pastor OF the Chapline street
NJ. Z. Church, preached his farewell SER
mon last night. Notwithstanding the
usfavorable weather the church was
crowded, many persons from
other religious denominations being
present. The Reverend gentleman de-
livered an excellent sermon, appropriate
to the occasion, which was full of elo-
quence and touching pathos. The con-
gregation was visibly affected. Mr.
Thompson is greatly beloved by his peo-
pie, and his departure causes great re-
greet among them. 1t is understood
that he will be assigned to the Morgan
town circuit by the Nj. E. Conference,
which meets in this city Wednesday
next.

Fighting RattleSnakes.

John Quick, David Angle, George r.
Bosier, and Frank Quick, of Milford,
Pa, quarrymen, few days ago started
into the woods in search of a new stone
quarry. On reaching Red Ridge, six
miles north from Milton, they were sud
denly startled by loud, continuous
noise, caused by rattlesnakes. Being
aware that they were in the vicinity of
den of these reptiles, but not knowing
the exact locality, they concluded to fol-
low up the sound, and, if possible, find
the den. After walking through the
thicket for few rods, they found them
selves on the verge of huge mass of
loose shell rock, at the extreme north
end of which they discovered black,
moving mass of rattlesnakes basking in
the sunshine. A stone dropped among
them by one of the party caused them to
rattle fercely, and the buzz that fol-
lowed was almost deafening. Each
quarryman then procured long. heavy
stick, and, approaching cautiously to
within reaching distance, began the hat-
tie. The rock upon which the reptiles
lay was surrounded, and rapid blows
were brought to bear upon them. John
Quick, tall, powerful man, by bringing
his huge club to bear across the top of
the rock, killed fifteen of the snakes at
one blow. The combat continued for
nearly half an hour, when the snakes
that were not killed managed to escape
by crawling into the surrounding rocks.
The party counted nearly 800 dead rep
tiles, some of them measuring nearly
five feet in length and having from fif-
teen to twenty rattles. This den is
within about six miles of the famous
Ball Hill den, in Shohola township,
where thousands have been killed during
the past ten years.

Cool Rooms.

Somebody who has had hot-weather
experience in India sends suggestions to
the New York San. He recommends
the pith hat occasionally seen in our
streets, which has a ring inside to fit
the head, leaving an open space for
ventilation. He also says eff people
were to shut up and darken their houses
in the coolest hours of the morning,
leaving only apertures enough for venti-
lation, and to those apertures apply, as
folks in India do, loosely-woven mats of
fragrant grass, and keep them wet, ev-
cry breath of air coming into the house
would take up the moisture, and the
temperature within would be reduced
many degrees"

Bath of an Iceberg.

Let us see if I can tell it to you as
wildly as the fsh-hawk seemed to tell it
to me: Imagine a great sea with waters
black from the intense cold, but fecked
all over with snow-white wave crests.
There is land in sight, but not tree,
not green field, only cold land, daz-
zling and glittering with glaciers and
snow-peaks. On the water are floating,
swiftly and silently, great icebergs that
look like cleaning marble palaces which
some unseen spirit has sat in motion.
All at once one great berg, the largest
and most beautiful of all, begins to
move uneasily-to waver as if looking
about to see if it is observed. Then
suddenly, with swift and graceful ma
jesty, it plunges it's high-crowned head
beneath the waves. There is moment
struggle, the sea swells and losses then
out Of it's bath, presenting new and
even more beautiful front than before,
comes the glittering berg, calm and
mighty still, to float on it's southwark
way" Jack-d4a-the-PWLpjt, " st. Ndcho-
las for august.

sion OF that protection to one portion Of the
United States where the same necessity for
protection exists.
Sir, believe that the cutting down of the
army was the result OF determination on the
part of some men somewhere to prevent troops
being sent into States where iawless men take
the lives of peaceable citizens. 1 Just charge
that as the attempt inaugurated in this House
and carried out regret to say with the assent
Of men who never ought to have given it their
assent.
Mr.. Milliken-I would ask the gentleman if
he has any member in his eye or in his mind
whom he pictures as that man?
Mr.. Conger-I charge that the natural and
inevitable result of that reduction must be to
leave the army so small that with the Indian
war upon our hands and the necessity of pro-
tecting the Texas border there would be no
forces to be sent into other portions of our
country where the presence of an army is emil
nently desirable and necessary.

A Goats Fourth of july.

That Monroe street goat proved him
self ON the Fourth to be as patriotic as
anybody in ST. Louis; at least he made
as fine display Of bunting as any house
on Fourth or Fifth street. There was g.
novelty about his bunting, of course.
The bunting on the stores down town
showed stripes frequently perpendicular
with batch of stars in the corner, while
the goats bunting was strictly in hor-
izontal line, and the only stars connected
Herewith were those observed suddenly
by the various buntees. The goat prob-
ably wouldn't have been so patriotic but
