Charlotte Cushman, the great actress,
died last Friday morning, in Boston, in the
Gotta year of her age. She had been suf-
fering from cancer for a long time. She
was unconscious for two hours before death.
She left fortune estimated at 100000.
The immediate cause of her death was
pneumonia Last. Saturday she went out
from the Parker House, in Boston, and
took short walk, and she then caught
cold. Pneumonia ensued, and her system,
long enfeebled by cancer, proved unable to
resist this new enemy. 1t must therefore
remain an open question whether DR..
Thornton's method of treatment of cancer
is really efficacious. Miss Cushman herself
said that she was getting well under the
care of this chemist. She was quite cheerful
on Thursday, but change took place
about two O'clock on Friday morning; at
seven she lost consciousness, and at ten
minutes past nine she died, 1t is known
that the subject of death had been in her
thoughts; yet she fully expected to
recover.

SINGULAR BAPTISM AND SUDDEN DEATH.-
Abraham Eisenhaner, of Bethel township,
Lebanon county, Pa, became converted
during the recent revival in that vicinity,
and was induced to join a sect which
believes that immersion only is baptism.
Mr. Eisenhaner being a consumptive and
too feeble to be taken to water course for
the purpose of baptism, it was decided to
perform the solemn ceremony in the house.
A trough used for scalding hogs was secured
and filled with lukewarm water. Mr..
Eisenhaner was then placed therein and
dipped three times with the usual cere-
monies accompanying, after which he was
taken out and placed in bed. He then re-
marked that he was going to change shirts,
