Says the Bucks Co. IatelIigeRcer Frank
l.. johnson, of Lambertville, accompanied by
horses, paid Doylestown flying visit on
Wednesday. One of the young ladies, who
rode gray horse, was so unfortunate as to be
thrown into the slush and mud in front of the
residence of Robert NJ. Yardley, Esq, on
State street, by the stumbling of her horse
over some obstacle. The horse fell also, and
very nearly upon the young lady, but both
rider and horse rose to their feet unbarmed,
though considerably soiled by mud. Mr..
johnson dismounted and caught the rein of
the fallen horse before he could escape, as
sisted the youag lady to the saddle, and the
party rode off, as gaily as though nothing
had happened, to the Purdy house, where
they stopped to repair damages.

DEAF MUTEs.-A service of unusual inter-

The Rev. Henry w. Style, himself deaf
mute, has received appointment as mission
airy to care for the religious instruction of the
deaf and dumb in the States of Pennsylvania
New Jersey and Delaware.
He has regular service every Sunday in
the chapel of st. Stephens Church, 10th ST..
near Market, Philadelphia. Much of his
time, during the week, he spends among this
afflicted portion Of the community, in all parts
of the Jurisdiction assigned him ; visiting
them in their homes, gathering the mutes Of
q neighborhood into one house for domestic
service instruction and prayer; and holding
public services when opportunity affords.
At the request of the mutes themselves, he
held such service at St. Andrews Church.
Seven or eight deaf persons were present, and
q large congregation of their friends and
others interested. While the Pastor read
service from the Prayer Book, Mr..
5yle translated it in the sign language and
to his deaf congregation, he made

Turing the last fifty years, been taught in the

From time to time during the reading of

In the course of the service two CHI ldren of

part OF the congregation to withdraw from

hem so novel;
Long time they looked at the voiceess con-
