sistance A cushion was placed under his head
and his limbs Strengthened out, a messenger
having in the meantime been dispatched for a
doctor. On reaching the floor Mr.. Longley was
observed to gasp once or twice, as though strug-
Cling for air, and then cease. The most intense
excitement followed. Men, women and chill.
dren crowded around the altar; the word was
quickly passed without that the clergyman was
dead. 1t is singular fact that his brother, the
Rev. Peter Longley, two years ago, met his
death under almost precisely similar circum-
stances. having had barely time to leave the
church in which he had oficiated before he
dropped dead. On receiving news of his broth
er's death, the surviving preacher asserted that
it would be his turn next aear-a prophecy that
was strangely enough fulfilled.

trade. Upon arriving at the sale it was found
that they were the only ones to bid, SO they
agreed not to bid above a certain price for any
of the tin. This plan worked well and the
whole lot was knocked off to three Portland
men at their own price. Yesterday these gen.
