House STRUCK BY LIGHTNlSG.-Du-
ring the severe thunder storm Of last
Friday morning, at about 4 o'clock, the
small residence OF Frank Hall, not far
from the Sand Greek church, was struck
by lightning, which ran down the back
corner of the chimney, in between the
logs and into the stone hearth, tearing
it up badly, throwing fire aud stone
over the room, breaking many dishes,
and all the glass in two windows, ex-
cept one pane. At the time Mr.. Hall, his
wife, and only child-a small boy, were
living in bed in the room and were
considerably shocked for short time.
The room was so filed with smoke, &c,
as to almost sufocate them, and they
were compelled TO get out into open
air. The little boy censurad his father
for this narrow escape, and asked: "Pa,
why didn't you poke the gun farther
out before you fred!'-RGUsnsUOOs

THE SALVATION ARMY"

\ division of the Salvation Army
of which so much is being beard OF late,
has already arrivediH this country and
established their headquarters IN New
York, from which point they expect To
conduct operations all over the United
States.
This Army is represented TO be the
outgrowth OF an unsectarian Christian
mission commenced in London in 1865
by the Rev. Wm. Booth and his wife,
of the Methodist Church. As TO why it
adopts the uniform and takes the name
of an '.army," they reply as follows
1878 the style and name OF an army
was adopted as expressing far more
clearly the nature OF the organization
and of its work than the name Of Chris
tian Mission, which was calculated rath
er to repel than invite the very persons
whom it was designed 10 gather togcth-
er, but who do not like TO be spoken OF
as needing mission effort. Tothose who
object to the new name we reply, SIM
ply, that our success 10 reaching the
classes for whose benefit we labor has
been incomparably greater since 1873
than before that time.
The force that has landed in New
York consists OF eight persons, one man
and seven women, and as they Viii
probably be heard from all over the
country in short time, the following
sketch of the organization will be inter
estiug:
"The organization is an army of men
and women mostly belonging TO tho
working classes, and many who have
been brought to Christ 10y its instru-
mentality. from lives of immortality and
ruflianism, and who are now glad TO
spend all their leisure time in making
known that salvation TO others. n
Methodist minister was led TO establish
the mission by noticing the immense
mul,itudes in London who went to no
place of worship, and for whose couvc'-
sion no special efforts were made. He
took stand, alone, in the open air, III
the east end of London, in 1865, and in
1879 had enlisted l22 corps, under con-
mand of l95 officers They were using
for services weekly, las theatres, music
halls, ware houses and other buildings.
and were holding open air services at
the rate Of 5000 annually, and indoor
services at tie rate OF $4,000 There
were 257 persons employed rs officers,
ministers, missionaries, colporteurs and
Bible women, and 256 others ready TO
do service at any time. Our work is not
sectarian, since we seek those who have
no religion, and our service il that OF
the early Methodisls SO far as doctrines
and principles are concerned, but our
form of service is what might he called
here au experience meeting; il is not
society of unruly religionists, deiying
or rushing into conflict with order, law
and society, but an army for mlsslona-
ry purposes, and we hope to convert
workers here that We eau send all over
the United States.

hands full of dry leaves, breathed upon
them a while and set them on fire, from
which they built FIRE in the woods.
He seemed much exhausted last even
