Some Fea'ts in Swimming.

NON'@--N-'J
 Somewhat over forty years ago, Q seaman belonging to Her Maiesty's ship Orestes threw himself overheard as means of escap- ing punishment for some offense. He was picked up by a fishing-boat seven hours af- terward off the coast of Spain, and stated that he had been swimming toward the land all the time. About the same period, two men swam up the river Mersey from Liverpool to Runeorn they accomplished the distance in something less than four hours. Passing over long interval, during which many swims were recorded ofa few hours duration, we come to the more recent exploits of Cap tain Webb, certainly the most remarkable swimmer of whom we have authentic re- cord After some notable achievements in the Irish Sea, he undertook the astonishing feat of swimming across the whole breadth of the English Channel, despite it's very rough sea. On the first attempt he could only reach part of the way, and was for safety brought back by an attendant steamer. His second attempt, in 1875, was quite successful; he swam for nearly P hours continuously, from Dover to the French coast near Calais he was supplied occasionally with refreshments by persons near at hand, but he never touch ed boat ground during this prolonged in terval In the same year a young damsel Miss Agnes Beckwith, daughter of Beckwith the teacher of swimming, gave clear proof that the weaker sex is strong enough to achieve remarkable results in this art; she
 
 to Greenwich, amid the crowded shipping of that part of the river. In spirit of emula- tion, Emily Parker, daughter of another pro- fessional swimmer, slightly exceeded Agnes Beckwiths distance by swimming from Lon- don bridge to Blackwall. Cavill, another swimming master, accomplished the distance from Dover to Ramsgate he six hours and half doing the feat but he was more distressed with the heat of the beating down upon his head and the sunshine glaring into his eyes than with fatigue. Quite recent ly the London public have been astonished by proofs of the great length of time that per sons can remain floating with or without swimming. At the Westminster Aquarium is large tank constructed for the temporary reception of live whale. In this tank Ag- nes Beckwith remained afioat for thirty hours, without touching ground or sides oft he tank, singing little and occasionally reading a newspaper to pass away the dreary monoto- ny, and taking refreshments handed to her. The water had a strong infusion of salt thrown in it to increase it's buoyancy Since that time Captain Webb has eclipsed every thing else of the kind known In the recent month of May he remained in the whale tank no less than sixty hours continuously, float ing all the time, and never touching sides or bottom.

One census enumerator in South Carolina has, it is said, requested General Walker to allow him to withdraw his papers for correc- tion-the return showing 'by mistake'' POO names moro than the correct number. The request was not complied with. Should this be sample of the enumerators of that State, the increase of forty-fve per cent may easily be reduced As there are probably 500 enum orators in the State, a mistake of POO each would account for 100 GOO of the reported in- crease.

that We are entirely destitute of church

Some are willing to attend if there was

The large audience at the NJ. f.
church Sunday We're treated to an able

spring. The church was tastefully deco
rated with flowers and evergreens, par
ticularly about the pulpit The choir
opened with the anthem: Consider the
Lilies" The text was verses II and 12
of the 2d chapter of SolomOn's Song.
The subject, it is useless to say, was
handled with vigor, eloquence and abili-
ty. Many important truths were stated,
and the season used as emblematic of {
Gods power over nature and the uni
verse. Nature brings forth a new cdi-
lion of old truths every season, which I
teach special lessons from God. These
lessons were enforced clearly. Every
tree and flower and blade of grass does
work for humanity, and the creator hung !
The little reminders on the trees about !
our homes in the shape of flowers to {
make us think of his goodness toward 1
Us. The sermon was listened to with I
leep interest, and Mr.. Kirby scattered l
thoughts which will result in good.
