John Hoadley, the foreman of the carpen- ter business at the works of the G. I. R. Glove company; met with severe accident Friday. He was experimenting the work of placing some heavy castings in position when the chain broke and some of the ma terial struck his leg, breaking some of the small bones in his leg. Dr. J. w. Sweet, of New Haven, attended him.

 Gentlemen-Two or three years ago @ can Ger came on my face. It soon grew to be quite large. It wore on me, and my general health was very poor. Last September I began Q course of s. S. S., which have con- tinued to the present time with the happiest result. The cancer has entirely disappeared, there being no evidence or symptom of cancerous character left. My general health ts good now, and my appetite better than 1t today am working in the field planting corn. Yours truly, JONAS LEVERAGE.
 Gentlemen-I had a sore on my upper lip for eight years. Seven different doctors at- tempted in vain to heal it. One gave me . small vial for five dollars, which was cer- tain cure" It is needless to say that 1t did me no good. About two years ago became quite uneasy, as people thought had a can . cer, and took a course of eighteen bottles of S. s. s. The result has been complete cure. The ulcer or cancer healed beautiful 1y, leaving scarcely perceptible scar. From that day I have been in excellent health, the Specific having purified my blood thorough y, increased my appetite and perfected my digestion. In a word, feel like a new woman, and, best of all, the eight year ulcer tg gone entirely. Yours sincerely,

HIGH WATER IN THE CREEK.

The water in the creek was the highest
on Wednesday that it has been this year
1t was not quite up to the highest point
of year ago; but then there was only
one period of high water, while this is
the third the present season. South of
here all the way to Proctor the valley of
the creek resembles a vast lake. The creek
road south of this village is way out of
sight. The three-mile bridge seems to
stand on an island, and the Seeley district
as viewed from the cars looks like an in
undated village. AT Caleb Smiths the
water is up within few feet of the door
step. The water is up even with the ends
of the ties along the railroad track for
half a mile or more on each side of the
OX-bow bridge, and the section men have
up signals warning engineers to 60 care
fully. On the Addison railroad there is
from two to three feet of water on the
track for a space of a mile where the road
passes through the swamps west of Lei
cester Junction.
The water fell here somewhat during
Wednesday night; but as the effects of
the late heavy rains have not yet been full
ly felt, it may come up again before the
end of the week.
The Green Mountain Pulp Co. have
three strong booms around their logs at

together by the swift current that it was
hard work and was given up that night.
No serious damage has yet been done
in this region; but of course farm work
on lowlands is at standstill and will be
for some time to come.

DR.. WaddePs RESIGNATION,

At a meeting of the Faculty of the
Southwestern Presbyterian University,
held on Thursday, April 18th, 1888, the
following minute was unanimously
adopted:
In view of the retirement of DR.. J. N
Waddel from the chancellorship of this
institution, we desire, as a faculty, to
place on record an expression of our re.
greet at the dissolution of the relations
which have so happily subsisted between
him and US during number of years
our high esteem and admiration for him
as an executive officer and instructor, and
our love for him as friends The obiga-
tlons OF this institution to Dr. Waddel
cannot be fully estimated. Coming into
office, as he did, at the commencement of
Its organization as a University, he has
done much towards developing its system
and lmparting to it an elevated and
thorough Christian spirit his extraordi-
nary influence over young men has been
largely the cause of the high standard of
morality and college honor which has
been maintained by the student body;
while his great reputation throughout
the whole South has secured the conf
dence OF the public In the worth and sue
cess of the institution. To him as the
presiding officer and our associate in the
Faculty we feel that we owe, in no small
measure, the unbroken harmony which
has prevailed in our body. His unas-
Stunning, just and conciliatory bearing
would have rendered dissensions impossi-
BILE, even if the occasion tor them had
arisen. AS he retires from US to spend,
as we trust, a season of rest well earned
by his laborious and useful life, we de-
light to render him this unanimous trib-
ute of our veneration and affection, and
to pray that he may yet live to enjoy
many years of comfort and of usefulness.

Healed by His Stripes.

A remedy for your sins and mine Is
found in the substitutionary suferings
of the Lord Jesus, and in these only.
These stripes of the Lord Jesus Christ
were on our behalf Do you inquire
us there anything for us to do, to re.
move the guilt of sin p l answer There
is nothing whatever for you to do. By
His stripes we are healed. All those
stripes He has endured, and left not one
for US to bear.
But must we believe on Him p Az,
certainly. If / say of certain ointment
that it heals, do not deny that you
need bandage with which to apply it
to the wound. Faith is the linen which
binds the plaster OF Christs reconcilia-
ton to the sore of our sin. The linen
does not heal that is the work OF the
atonement OF Christ. "But we must re.
pent cries another. Assuredly we
must, and shall, for repentance is the first
sigh Of healing but the stripes of Jesus
heal as, and not our repentance. These
stripes, when applied to the heart, work
repentance in us we hate sin because it
made Jesus suffer When you intelli.
gently trust in Jesus as having suffered
Tor you, then you discover the fact that
God will never punish you for the same
offence for which Jesus died Thus
with His stripes we are healed. "-Sp,5r.

The population of the whole country in

See then carefully the following ratios

In connection with the Presbyterian
Church in 1888 there was no theological

With that she dropped on her knees
at the bedside and bowed her head on
the hand she still clasped in hers.
Miss Casseday, in all her public and
private work, was not often called upon
for duty like this, and for an instant she
shrank and hesitated, but how could she
refuse such an appeal She placed the
other hand tenderly on the bowed head,
and low, trembling words of prayer
Aoated up to the throne OF God.
The sincere interest of many hearts,
here, will follow that young Jewess
through life, and some would fain hope
that she may be guided back to find her
field of life-work here in our own city.

The Shepherd S Appeal.

BY p. MARSH.
Have ye seen my lamb that has gone astray,
Altar from the Shepherds fold
Away in the deserts wild and BARE
Or on the mountain cold
Have We ever sought to bring it back
BY word, or a look. or a prayer
Or followed it on where it wandered lone,
And tried to reclaim it there2
Ye ,ather each week in the place of prayer,
And ye speak of your love for Me-
And pray tina, your daily life may bear
Some fruit that the world may see.
Ye mean it well-but when once away
Do ye live that life of prayer
Is the soul of the lamb that's gone astray
Your chief and greatest care?
Ye speak of the good that ye mean to do
Among your fellow-men
Yet ye tarry full oft mid the joys of earth
They are watching your footsteps then.
And while ye have stopped for pleasure or ease
The lamb that has gone astray
Has wandered the farther mid darkness and sin
Along the forbidden way.
Ye meet in your counting house rooms for gain,
And count the cost each day;
Do ye ever count what the cost may be
OF the lamb that has gone astraY
The cost Of that soul can far outweigh
Your stocks and your piles OF gold.
Can ye leave your gains and your wealth untold
To gather it in the fold2
1t Is perishing now in the bleak and cold,
While you might have saved its life
Are ye thinking too much Of your ease and your
gains
To enter the Christian strife2
When the reckoning is called and the balance
made
Will the wealth of single day
Atone for the loss of the dying soul,
For the lamb that has gone astray?

It needs only to contrast the life and con-
duct of the Christians with the other ia.
panese to see the great difference and the
benefits that follow the adoption of this
new and better faith.
1t is suggested that in view of these
facts, that are so patent to all observers,
the Christian religion should have some
official recognition, and be conceded the
same privileges that have hitherto been
conceded to the Buddhistic and Shinto
faith. II. LOOMS,
