Professor Tyndall, in a recent lecture
on electricity, produced the clothes of 4
man who was taking refuge under a
tree when it was struck by lightning.
1t was foolish thing, he observed, to
60 under tree during an electric storm,
unless person stood some distance
from the trunk. In this particular case,
however, the mans clothes were very
wet, and, though they were very much
torn, they formed sufficiently good
conductor for the lightning and he
escaped with his life. Had his raiment
been dry he would inevitably have been
killed. Producing the mans boots,
the lecturer pointed out that the uppers
were torn to pieces by the electric fluid
in it's anxiety to reach the earth; but
the sole, into the construction of which
iron largely entered in the shape Of
hob-nails, formed good conductor
and was not burt.

What We Should Expect.

Into every home some trouble must
come, Years will pass and every day
will be full of gladness The old and
young will be happy in the society of
the other, but at last, the dark angel of
death will knock. At first family, until
some of the household is laid on bed of
sickness. The suffer will grow worse
and worse until the spirit becomes weary
of the flesh and wings it way to the
shore of the Great Unknown. Perhaps
it is the eldest member of the family yet
but few were expecting it, or the young
est may be called. There is sorrow and
mourning instead of joy and gladness.
1t seems to us that we so seldom look
for death. And when he comes we are
unprepared to receive the blow. We
mourn for the departed and will not be
comforted. So seldom do we look &c
Him and submit cheerfully to His will
Because He giveth and he taking away
and therefore we should not be sad a
what He doeth. Death is warning
1t is inevitable, and when we are sum
moned to appear at the bar of the cter'
nal and omnipotent God, let us be pre-
pared to our belief of the bright hereaf
ter, and "lie down to pleasant dreams
Therefore mourn not for those who hav,
gone before, because after little whit
you will join those who went at Hi
calling.

1.-THE Mendelsshon Male Quartette
Club" will give an entertainment in the
College Oratory about the middle of De-
cember. The entertainment is for the
benefit of the Athenean Literary Society.
There will be no pains spared in trying

given by that club, which has the reputa-
ton of being one of the finest male quar-
tette clubs in the country.
Large and lofty towering buildings
should have fire escapes by all means,
in case that if the inmates should be
awaken or aroused by the cracking EN-
bers and glowing flames, some means of
refuge would be afforded There is a
building within our limits, however, that
have been favored with the escapes, and
no longer than last Saturday evening
they were put into use advantageouly.
There was no fire. No, no! The advan-
tage was this-every one that escaped
saved the admission fee to a certain mu-
steal concert, having passed in through
a window instead at the door.
During the muddy condition of our
streets, we noticed gentleman standing
along the sidewalk and intently peering
into the street as though in search for
something. Finally, he was asked what
was the matter. The man raised his head
and looking the questioner straight in
the eye, said: Why, I was wondering
why it was that the crossings were sunk
below the level of the street. This indi'
vidual might be accused of being near
sighted, but his remarks impressed us
nightly. The Town Commissioner,
need not feel alarmed or offended, be
cause the crossings will make their ap
, pearance again when the dry season
comes on.

4 years, of Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Paxton,
of this town, was taken sick, and on last
Friday night the little fellow died after
suffering terribly from diphtheria. Har-

greatly loved by those who knew him.
Methinks we can still see the little
bright eyed boy standing in front of the
house his cheeks flushed with health,
and the perfect picture of happiness
But death, the reaper of all, knocked at
the door of that happy household, and
one was taken. Harlem, who knew nc
wrong was taken, and the loving father

not admit what quality of paper is palm
