Mrs. Watt. Orme, while working in her
garden, some time ago, was bitten by ground
rsttlesnake. on the finger. One of the most
poisonous of all that species OF animals, the
wound thus occasioned was, necessarily, of a
serious nature, the arm swelling badly to the
shoulder, where the Inflammation was happi-
ly prevented from reaching and tainting the
more vital parts of the body. The pain was
intense, and, for a while it looked as if paral-
ysis OF the arm must necessarily ensue. The
lady, however, is now rapidly recovering. al
though an occasional numbness OF the arm
is the lingering evidence OF the virulence of
the wound.

has been agitating tho religious
circles Of the North and Of Great
Britain for somo time. Many of

ions of quito an array of learned

Dr. Porter of Yale College was first
invited to make known his yiews.
These were shown to Mr.. Frothing-
ham who commented on them and
gave his own Interpretation of the
doctrine. They were handed also to
Vicar General Thomas S. Preston,
who gave the Wow of the Cath olic
church, and to DR.. Bellows, who
gave his own rather than a donomi-
national aspect of the doctrine, and
to DR.. w. II. Williams, Baptist, and
DIR. Thomas J. Sawyer, Universalist,
zach OF whom presented not only
his own viows, but those of his
own denomination also. DR.. Por-
tor then reviewed his critics. He
believes IN future punishment, but
does not insist on bed of "burninp
mari and hrimstone The views Of
the other divines arc thus given:-
Mr.. Frothingham looks upon
the Bible rs simply book-a
literary phenomenon-to be read
critically, judiciously, intelligently,
as other writings are read. And
viewed in this light, a sentence like
depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for, the
devil and his angels" derives no
authority from it's position in, a
New Testament writing, or from it's
being put into the mouth of Jesus.
1t is like boulder on tho surface
of a meadow, which the geologist
explains by tracing it's history and
origin to some remote, formation
OF rock" It the text just, quoted, or
any text Of like tenor, can be traced
to Babylon, and ultimately to the
Persian dualism which was, import
ed into Palestine by the roturn-
ing captives, then it deserves as
much consideration as tho Persian
theory Of d,nlism dosmves---as
muoh, and, no more It is of the
same stuff with the original forma-
tion, from which it is fragment.
The believers in dualism will treat

count OF its organic texture. Mr.,

There is curious story about some, NATIVES

grape-grower of Croton Point. died in 1871
some OF his heirs entertained temperance
views OF such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock of" wines then on
hn hand to BE- Sald or any more to be made
ihe grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometinies left to decay upon
the vnesl 1t IS only how that ti.c other heirs
have sudceedeH in, arranging for settlement
OF the estate And lthe, sale of the wines on
hand. Among these Is q wine Of the vintage
OF 1864. described as = Sweet Union Port,''
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any iothsr European wine, and being
wholly unaike any other wine Of Americais1
