Rev. Bryant Ransom is the pastor of a Meth
odist Episcopal Church, at Mount Vernon,
Ohio. He has now come before his congrega-
ton and confessed that, while his brother held
a SOW, he took a knife and cut or dug its eyes
out. The SOW, he said, was breachy. How
ever, he is sorry now he committed the deed,
and begs to remain in good fellowship. After
confession a brother offered prayer for his
benefit, and the officers of the church took the
case under advisement. The Prosecuting At
torney is not inclined to be lenient in the mat
ter. He says Mr.. Ransom shall have the full
benefit of the law.

A Dissr.cefuI state OF Anair..

1t is ascertained that the discipline on the
steamer Narragansett was of the worst kind
or that there was no discipline at all. A deck
hand, named Timothy Murphy, has stated to an
officer Of the Stonington Line Company that
the crew were never drilled either in the use of
the fire apparatus or in the use of the life
boats. 1t is therefore not difficult to under
stand why the conduct of the officers and crew
was so inharmonious and altogether outrageous
when the terrible crisis came. An official in
luiry into the disaster will be made by the New
London Board of Steamboat Inspectors.

A woman bought ticket for herself,
and then taking boy fully 13 years old
in her arms, she wrapped shawl around
him and started in.

bent her nearly double.
She started to pass in, but caught her

as he lifted him over the ropes, and the
woman added:
