too late the treacherous nature of the crust Mt the
edge of the molten stream Riding too close, it
gave way with cracking noise similar to that

Every stitch from my arm-pits down burned
to cinder but by shaking them off at once es-

PoF. W. ID. ALExANDER's lecture on "Modern
Jerusalem and its Holy Places before the Y. NJ G.
A. at the Lyceum, Thursday evening last was very
Instructive. The lecturer, in opening ,alluded to
The interest which the Christian world has for
Jerusalem. followed by concise narration of his
visit In 1873 to the various places of interest with
In the modern city, the expressed opinion of
modern engineers regarding the location of the
ancient walls, and the conjectures regarding the
exact location where the Saviour was crucifed.

turer had examined the grounds and the study
that he had bestowed upon his subject. The
present topography of the city, both within and
without the modern wall, was graphically de-
picted. With most Christian pilgrims to the Holy
city he agreed regarding the improbable genuine
ness of many of the relics shown visitors handed
down from the days of Christ. The audience was
not, in point of numbers, in keeping with the
merits of the lecturer.
On Wednesday afternoon the carriage of Mrs
G. H. Judd, i'll which she and Miss Purvs were
sitting, was upset on Merchant street about half
way between Richard and Aakea streets. The
street is narrow and what width it might have is
infringed upon by huge telephone post. Just at
this spot a FESTIVE horse and his rider cannonned
against Mrs Judd's horses, and an upset ensued
fortunately the goodman was able to extrcate
himself at once, and went straight to the horses
heads. A gentleman passing by helped the ladies
out of the wreck and at Mrs. Judd's request
called DR.. McKibbin, who found her arm badly
bruised and the small bone broken, and Miss Pur-
vis' arm was bruised and cut both ladies were
taken to a cottage at hand and their injuries
treated, and they were soon afterwards able to
return home. The horse which collded with the
carriage badly cut and the carriage consider
ably injured, but Mrs. Judd's horses were not
hurt. Great credit is due to the coachman for his
and presence of mind, ora very
lamentable accident might have occurred.
