A GREAT REVIVAL,

Mr.. Editor A revival, such as ha
not been witnessed for many years, is in
progress at the new M. E. Church at
Glasgow, Delaware. Twenty-Five per =
sons have been converted to date, and
the altar is filled with earnest penitents.
Young and old are seeking the Lord.
Much credit is due to the pastor and
members of the Presbyterian church
who from the first have joined hands
and labored in hearty sympathy with
their Methodist friends. God has hon
ored their unselfish labors, and tn cir
children and friehds are being saved.

has purchased the farm of WIN. Kemp
located on the North East river, containing
about IA hundred and a quarter acres, for
the sum OF $4,000. The place, which is ad-

used by the club as a place of resort for
cunning and fishing. The buildings will

Mr.. Fo ulks had the finest kennel of sport

owned and propagated the celebrated Ches-

water dogs. Old "Joe" we think his name

was a remarkable and representative dog
OF his kind. He was very large and power

of an otter, and he could swim with equal

A Cautious Conlmissary.

Unless he has actually seen them, no
one can form any adequate idea of the
vast numbers Of white-covered wagons
which followed our armies, carrying
food, forage and ammunition; nor can
any one, who has not actually Witnessed
panic among the drivers of these wag-
ons, form any conception of the terror
into which they were sometimes thrown.
The drivers Of the ammunition wagons
were especially anxious to keep well
out of range of shells; and no wonder,
for if a shot were to fall among lot Of
wagons laden with percussion shell, the
result may perhaps be imagined. 1t was
not strange, therefore, that the driver
of an ammunition wagon, with six
mules-in front of him and several tons
of death and destruction behind him,
felt somewhat nervous when he heard
the whir of shells over the tops of the
pines.
In looking for my regiment, l passed
one of these trains. The commissary
was dealing out forage to his men; who
were standing around him in a circle,
each holding open bag for his oats,
which the commissary was alternately
dealing out to them with bucket-a
bucketful to this man, then to the next,
and so on around the circle. 1t was
clear, however, that he was more con-
cerned about the shells than interested
in the oats, for he ducked his head al
most every time he poured bucketful
into bag.
While was looking at them, Page, q
Michigan boy, orderly to our Brigadier-
General, came up on his horse in search
of our division train, for he wanted oats
for his horses. Stopping moment to
contemplate the scene was adm'ring,
he said to me in low tone:
'.You just keep an eye on my horse,
will you? and I'll show you how I get
my oats"
1t was well known that Page could
get oats when nobody e,se could.
Though the wagon trains wero miles
and miles in the rear, and had not been
seen for week, Page was determined
his horses should not 60 to bed supper
less. Oats for the Generals horse Page
would have BY hook or by crook.
"You see that commissary yonder,"
said Page, as he dismonnted and threw
4 bag over his arm. s'He's coward,
he is-more interested in the shells than
anything else. Don't know whether
he's dealing out oats TO .the right man

The Crueltles Of Science.

A French paper gives an account Of
some curious experiments which
Signor CanestrIni has been making on
insects. He has cut of the heads Of .
number of flies, ants, grasshoppers
and butterflies, and he has observed
that decapitated insects retain their
sensibility for very long time. Flies
seemed to regard the operation ~ the
most natural thing IL, the world. They
calmly rubbed their bodies with their
legs, and generally behaved as II moth
ing unusual had happened. Butterflies
continued to fly for eighteen days after
they had lost their heads. and grass
hoppers had still kick in them thir-
teen days after being similarly ILL.,
treated. Scoiopendr0 showed con-
tractile movements both in the trunk
and in the head eight days after the
severance had been effected. Cruel ex-
periments Of this sort are generally do
Tended on the ground that they are, or
may be, of service to humanity; but one
