attended the temperance meeting at
O'Clock in which the chapter containing
the account OF the "Young Ruler" was
read. The gentleman Afterwards ascer-
tanned that had he attended the Upitarian
Church In the afternoon he would have
heard another sermon on the same subject.

without any previous understanding, there
should have been three sermons and q
temperance discussion on the same subject
of morality, all on one day.
John Cook, who has been At work for
Hartshorn & Ellis at their camp, met with
a singular accident In which he lost the
index finger OF his left hand. He was
walking away from the place where he
had been assisting with his axe, when he
stumbled and fell, laying his hand across
a stick of wood which served as a chop
ping block for his axe, by the weight Of
which In falling his fuger was severed be-
tween the first aud second joints. MI.
Cook was obliged to travel about Is miles
before his wound WAS dressed and he was
very faint from much loss of blood. the
wrist being ligsted In such way that the
venous and not the srterial circulation
