showing bis appreciation OF tue morn

tho preacher wuxcd warmer in lis

The following no doubt will be Of
interest to many Of your readers: On
Monday, November 18th, closed
meeting Of two weeks with the Nj.
Pleasant Baptist Church, Upshur
county, Rev. John s. Fisher, Pastor.
We found the church in very cold
and indifferent state; but there, as
elsewhere, We found q few who wsrc
ready and willing to help in the good
work. This church has been badly
crippled by the unfaithfuluess Of one Of
her pastors few years ago. She Is
now much encouraged, and feels hope
ful that better duys arc coming. Hcr
pastor is doing good and permanent
work, aud is much loved by bis people
and tho community generally. We
had good meeting. Tho people Of
God were made to rejoice on account Of
the refreshing from tho presence Of tho
Lord. The back.slider in heart re-
turned to duty. and came up nObly to
the work. Tho result was. thai the
uucouvortcd were mado to fear aud
tremblc before God; aad tho inquiry
was, "what must do to be saved p
They werc directed to believe on
Christ as tho only foundation Of tho
sinners hope; and as they looked on
lin whom they had pierced, with sor.
row for sin, they were enabled to lay
hold Of Him by faith. Eleven made
public profession Of their hopa in
Christ; six united with the church, ,aud
five werc baptiscd on Monday.the 18Th.
Tho people of CCntcrvillc are very
kind people. Tho Bap.ists, Metho.
diuss and Presbyteriaus all work in
harmony together for the salvation of
tue lost. May they 90 blcst in their
Iabors Of love. Aud to God bc all the
honor aud glory for tho salvation Of

A Man Buried in Mud Ninsteen
Hours, and Rescued Alive.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. November IL
On Wednesday last Mrs. Martha Gil.
bert, whose husband has small farm
in the swamp near Camden, New Jer.
soy. was attracted BY tho continued
barking Of q strange dog. Upon tho
approach Of Mrs. Gilbert it couchcd at
her feet as though it had something to
communicate. Mrs. Gilbert tried to
take the dog to the house, but it refus'
ed to stir in any path except narrow,
muddy one that led directly into the
swamps. Mrs. Gilbert got her hus.
bands boots and struck out on the lit
tie dogs trail. After going about a
quarter Of a mile, she was brought to
q sudden halt by the sight Of q mans
head and shoulders protrudiug from
the black mud, few feet from the
edge Of the path. Tho mans head was
bent forward, the eyes closed, and
tho face black His arms were extend.
ed, ono gruspiug low tussOck, and
the ether resting few inche, in the
mud, stretched straight out. Mrs.
Gilbert floundercd into tho mud to as.
certain whether or not tho man was
living. She herself began to sink, and
was only able BY tho exercise of her
whole strength to get back on tho path
When she did 60. back she summoned
her husband. Mr.. Gilbert, with two
men, hurried to the rescue. The man
was IN the same position, still uncon.
scious. Mrs. Gilbert said tho loft arm
wus buried q little deeper, and that the
whole body had sunk pcrceptibly dur.
ing tho time Of her absence.
After an hours careful work the
body was hauled out into tho path. It
was still warm, and the heart was beat
ing family, 1t vas taken to the house
aud rubbed with flannel. Conscious
moss was fully restored after q while,
and tho stranger told that bis name
was Charles Goppo, cigar maker Of
Trenton, and that he had been hunting
for water crosses in the swamp. II
attempting to push himself from tus'
sock to reach particularly fine water
cress he drOppod his basket iu the mud
aud without d thought Of sinking deep.
or than the tops Of his shoes, he had
Jumped of into tho mud, but bis legs
went down into the black deposit Us
though it werc water. Hc caught at
tho tussock aud was about to gain Il
firm hold, whcu he sank deeper and
decpcr. Th ere seemed to be something
below pulling him down. With the
darkness his strength returned, but as
it seemed to him that the tuSscck had
moved two or three inches from bis
hand, ho exhausted himself with out
cries, that were only answered by tue
whine Of bis littIO dog in tho path.
It was calculated by him in his frenzy
that ho was sinking al the rate Of one
inch every hour. StupOr fell upon him
aloug toward tue middle Of the night
Ilo was buried nineteen hours. On
Thursday Gilbert took tho old man
homs. For q while It was thought bis
body would get its strength and 'igo'

The gallant ranger has been an open enemy

Ford ia a true Texan, and has ri,k.d his life
