Rev Hornce Bushmeu.

The Rev. Horace Bushnell died last week in Cincinnati of brain fever, at the age of S1. He was born in Connecticut and brought up on farm in Rome, N. Y. Fifty-three years ago he walked from the latter place to Cincinnati and secured a position as a teacher in the Lane seminary. Soon after he organ. ized church and for more than fifty years continued to be it's pastor, even up to the time of his death. Sixteen years ago he lost his sight and became cripple, so that since then he went about his pastoral work blind and on crutches. One of his close friends says of him: ''He probably never wrote out or read a sermon in his life. He was fluent talker, ready speaker, quick-witted, sometimes approaching to sarcasm, but uni versally popular with all classes. The com mon people, alike with such men as Presi- dent Harrison, Judge Scott and Governor Chase, heard him gladly, and were among his tried friends. Mir. Bushnell baptized, mar ried and buried all of the Harrison family, almost literally and without exception" His golden wedding was celebrated last June, and was an occasion of deep interest. His wife, son and two daughters survive him.

Those who deaden sensation and stupefy the patient to relieve suffering make grave mistake. They proceed upon the false idea that it is legitimate to procure relief from pain by destroying physical sensibility. This method, carried to the last extremity, would kill the patient to end suffering. It is not presumed that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will raise the dead, but it often does restore those who are given up as hope less cases. a13 6d1w

,rha Transit of Venus.

Washington dispatches speak of the gath ering of the pictures and other results, at the National Observatory, of the observa- tions of the transit of Venus, by the Ameri- can parties that were sent out for that pur- pose to many widely remote, quarters. It must still take several years before the re-
 suits of the observations taken on the 9th of last December can be mathematicalIy reach. ed by the necessary figuring, reductions and comparisons, on the part of various parties sent out by different countries. But our
 own country has already secured nearly 900 photographs and great mass of field notes to be duly worked out. The astronomers at the Naval Observatory say that the results are far greater than those gained during the transit of 1874. The work of computation has already begun, and the final result will probably be known by April, 1887, period of four years from the time the calculations were begun. The observation in 1874 yielded only 25O pictures that could be read.
