Rev. Il. z. Muudy comments as follows on
the obituary table of the Minutes of the General
Assembly:
Never before has SO large number Of names
been found in the obituary table. One hun
dred and eight finished their course, having
kept the faith, among whom we find the names
of Adams, Boardman, Cox, and Halsey, who
were burning and shining lights. Four who
had been Moderators of the General Assembly
are found in this list
The death of DIR. Plumer, who was Moderator
in 1888, leaves DR.. McGill as the oldest living
Moderator, who served the Old.school branch
In lS4S, while DR.. Riddle QS50) remains the
Oldest among the living Moderators of the New
school branch. Both Drs. Jacobus and Fowler,
the last Moderators of the two General Assem-
blies of the divided church, have been called
away, while all the Moderators since the Re-
union are still living.
Length of years is prominent feature of this
mortuary list. Twenty. two of these venerable
men lived to be eighty years of age and over,
and two of them were over ninety. Only one
died under thirty six years of age. Length of
days is in her right hand"
Kansas: Growth of Presbyterianism.
The Synod of Kansas was formed in 1870.
There were in that year, 70 ministers SO
churches and 2,702 members In 1880 there
were ia ministers, 274 churches and IL ,2e9
members. The increase is easily estimated. In
1870 the ground now occupied by the Presby-
teries of Emporia and Larned, then occupied by
the Presbytery of Emporia alone, contained 5
ministers churches, and 1877 members Within
the same bounds we find the record for 1880
to be 30 ministers, 80 churches and 3,4O7 mem
bers.

Saturday, for an outrage upon white girl,
aged II years, was taken from Jail about =
o'clock tins morning and hanged, The jury,
through misunderstanding, rendered yer

the statue, such recommendation reduces the
punishment from death to life Imprisonment,
and the prisoner was sentenced on Wednesday
accordingly. The public, incensed against
the jury, determined that the prisoner should
never reach the penitentiary The crime was
revolving one, and the prisoner confessed his
guilt. The following was found fastened

The various kinds of cooking, however, are
quite different in their effects on trichInous
pork. Frying and broiling are most efficient,
roasting coming next Boiling Coagulates the
lalbumen on the outer surface and allows the
heat to penetrate less readily; 1t should be
kept up, therefore, for at least two hours for

cooked. Practically speaking, the cooking,
sailing and hot-smoking which pork in It's va

be, in the vast majority Of cases sufficient to
kill the trichln;p and prevent infection of the

The Earle Execution,

One of the most notable executions of the
year was that of Edward Earle, on Friday OF
last week at Sageville, Hamilton county, y. Y.
His crime was the murder of his wife on the
18th of March last. lie was II years Of age,
a man OF superior education, had passed under
various aliases, and had travelled apparently all
over the world No one ever knew anything
about his family, or whether he was American
or Spaniard He was in the Union army sew
eral years during the rebellion and had been
taken prisoner. On his release he settled
down in the Adirondack region IN New York,
where he married Anna Burgess in 1865, and
pursued the calling of blacksmith. His wife
a few years afterwards became crimlnally in
innate with man named George Brown, and
a quarrel with her was the basis of charge of
assault with intent to kill, and on the trial, at
which Earle maintained that she perjured her
self to convert him so that she could live with
Brown, he was convicted and sent to prison for
three years.
After his release from prison he went 10 his
home, arriving there cold, wet and hungry,
and concealed himself IN the barn. The scene
al the place of concealment on the fatal day
was very graphic. When the wife discovered
him and their eyes met, she fell on the floor
and begged piteously for her life. For Gods
sake, for the sake of your little dead children,
have mercy on me-" she pleaded. He said
(in his confession afterwards), Il could not
think, could not reason; l was bereft OF ev-
cry sense except pain. All my miseries were
