Methodist Ministers i'm Session.

The monthly meeting of the Housa- tonic Valley methodist ministers 'Associ- ation was held at Lee, Mass, on Monday, May IA. Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: President, CD. Townsend of Chatham Vice President, H. O. Humphrey of Stockbridge; secre- tary, Fields Hermance of Sheffield {; Treasurer, David Phillips of Canaan. The afternoon session was held in the church commencing at 2 o'clock, at which time very able and interesting paper was read by Rev D. Phillips on the "Inspiration of Holy Scriptures which elicited considerable discussion and drew forth some very pertinent re- marks from Revs N. l.. Heroy, F. Her nance, A. Nash, and Rev l.: s. Row land of the Congregational church. The question drawer was assigned to Rev A. Nash, who proved to be an adept in answering knotty questions. A committee was appointed to draft res olutions concerning the running of the Sunday trains on the Housatonic rail road. The committee recommended the endorsement, and adoption of the same set of resolutions which were passed by the South Berkshire association of Con- gregational ministers, at their meeting the week previous, as follows:- ..-~
 Resolutions of the South Berkshire association of Congregational ministers with reference to the proposed Sunday train over the Housatonic railroad. Adopted at meeting of the association at Curtisvi1le, May 7, 1883.
 Whereas:-The Housatonic railroad company has advertised it's purpose to run during the present season special train on the Sabbath for carrying pas sengers and newspapers, =
 Resolved: That we have heard of this innovation with profound regret. It seems plain to us that such a train is required by no consideration of either necessity or charity. We deplore it's establishment as a violation of the sanc- tity of the Lords Day, as serious dis turbance of Sabbath quiet, and tending to @ general breaking down of the guards of the Sabbath observance along the whole line of the road. In this opinion we believe that we represent the vastly preponderating sentiment of the Housatonic valley, and we venture the hope that the authorities of the road may be led to reconsider their plr- pose, and save the communities which we represent from what we must regard as moral calamity.
 solved:-That a copy of these reso- lutions be transmitted to the president and directors of the road and that they also be given to the public through the press.
 These resolutions were unanimously adopted with slight notifications. In the evening Rev B. N. Lewis preached a very excellent sermon. Subject, 7" Love for the church" The next meeting of the association will be held at Tyringham, Mass, on the second Monday in June.

NATURAL CUREOsHTIEs.

|: Every season small parties of tour ists ascend Canaan mountain, to enjoy the grand view which is obtained from the point opposite the village. Not one in a hundred of these excursionists knew that two wonderful natural curi- osities, viz z: Sentinel Rock" and House Rock" existed within few rods south of the point of the noun tain. Ye editor, for number of years has owned tract of land adjoining the overlooking point, and occasionally wis., tied these immense rocks. Sentinel rock is on his land, House rock is only few rods south of his line and is on land of the Barnum Richardson Go. This spring he determined to make Q path to both rocks and put up guide boards at short distances along the route so that even stranger without guide can find them. He work ed there alone at different times, made the path and put up the guide boards. Finding that his editorial duties requir- ed most of his time, he enlisted MT Taft. principle of Canaan's high school, in this enterprise. Mir Taft, assisted by some of his scholars, has done much to inn prove the grounds about these curiosi- ties and make the place 8 beautiful re- sort for picnic parties. We will give only brief description of these rocks, as friend Taft has promised to write up the beauties of this resort when the im- provements are completed which he has begun. "House Rock is fifty or more feet high, is perpendicular on two sides. The other sides slope gradually to the ground. It is about sixty feet or more in length. and the same in breadth. It rests on several smaller rocks and you can walk under it the entire length, coming out on the other side, like emerg- ing from tunnel. MT Taft has con- 1 structed fifty foot ladder by which you can ascend to the summit of the rock. Sentinel Rock" lies short dis tance north east of House rock. It is a cube of three dimensions of perhaps 30 feet or more each. MT Taft will con- struct ladder by which the top of this rock can also be reached. Evidently some great upheaval or earthquake, has cast these rocks down from the ledges above them to their present resting place.
 Excursionists from Falls Village o1 towns further south, should leave thei1 teams near the residence of Levi w. Beckley as the path leading to these rocks, enters the woods directly back oi his residence. Parties walking from this village, will find another path. II commences where the brook crosses the highway at R. Van Deusen's s new slaugh ter house, which is north of the resi- dence of N. c. Ward. Still would ad wise those who go with teams to this re sort, to leave them near L. W. Beckley', as the path is shorter and more direc from that direction.

A Terrible Death.
News.Aliner.

Sunday night, shortly after o'clock
James NJ. Bacon, miner employed in
the Bullion mine, met with a horrible
death. He had just gone to work,
and was busy ON an uplift from one
level to another. He stopped to rest
for moment, and was looking up,
when mass of loose rock and earth
dropped suddenly aud without any
warning npon him. A comrade. near
10y at the time of the accident.
heard the noise of caving earth, and
also the voice of Bacon saying two or
three times, in stified way, ooh Cod
Then nothing could be heard for some
time but the labored breathing and
dying gasps of the unfortunate mau
1t seems that he died from sutfocation.
rather than from the weight of earth.
Every effort was made TO extricate
him, but in vain. His face was suffus-
ed with blood, on being taken out,
which is an Indication Of sufIcation.
Mr. Bacon was tot member of the |
Miners Union, but had some time pre- /
vious presented his application, which /
was not acted upon up to the time of
his death. He leaves a wife and two
Or three children. His funeral services
will take place this afternoon, at
o'clock, in Bullion.
The Salt Lake papers are requested
10 notice Mr.. Beacon's death, as he has
relatives and many friends in that city.
