Doing this the gracious invitations and blessings to the gospel will all be theirs. For the sake of the present life and the life to come this duty was urged. The intellig ible and happy worship of the hour may be taken as an earnest of the blessings yet to be shed down on the laborers in that vineyard. By concerted Christian work the field may be titled and harvest gathered of redeemed souls. A town bearing name typical of the heavenly rest has yet in its own borders to fulfil the first commission of our Lord-"Preach the gospel to every creature" ''Go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that my house be full" c. M. s.

 The Courier says: Dr. Samuel Camp has been making careful investigation of the causes of the wholesale death of fish in Lake Buel and Monterey pond, and reaches conclusions identical with the theory put forth by Professor Roe, to explain a simi- lar epidemic in the Passaic river, N. J. Certain poisonous vegetable matter has grown with unusual luxurisnce during the late hot weather, causing the water to purge, purify or foment, for eight or ten days. This has occurred this year much earlier than usual, and at time when the females of the species affected were in s weakened condition from spawning, anG quite without strength to withstand the in- furious effects of the water. This is very evident from the fact that the fish which had not spawned were unaffected, while DC dead males of any kind are found. Th' poison causes fungus growth on the fish appearing first near the tail, and working | forward, the scales meanwhile loosenins and dropping off, until it reaches the brain Death occurs usually about eight or tel days after the first appearance of the fun. gus. Suckers are first attacked, then bull heads, and last perch and pickerel. If th fermentation does not last more than eigh or ten days, the pickerel will probably es cape entirely. Of course fish thus affecte should not be eaten. The Doctor is quit positive that foul drainage has not been in strumental in causing the trouble, as all tn small streams flowing into Lake Buel sr we'll stocked with fish, and none of ther have been affected in the least. A careir microscopical examination of the lak water, which looks beautifully clear whe held up to the light. reveals i1 every dro millions of specimens of the vegetable fun gus tbat causes the fermentation.
