der thp bind wheels which passed
directly over his body between The
hips and the breast bone. The luu-
very heavy was sixteen feet long ana
hence the principal weight was on
the hind wheels and as the wagon
was going up a slant the pressure of
the weight was increased. 1t is u
that the boys body was not served
IN two by the cruel wheel but he was
picked up alive and carried home
where he has been slowly mending.
At first there was little hopes of his
recovery but at present there seems
to be no rerson why he should not be
up again soon. Prof. Gowdy ami

strong friendship OF the people of
Batesville, and Theodore is manly

deal of attention here, hence his ear

FOURTEEN below zero." This was the register at 7 o'clock a. m. to day, against twelve below at the same hour yesterday morning. We know not what the morrow may bring forth, for the meteorological bureaus have been sadly out of time and truth for some days. Sleigh-riders are full of joy, and Livery stable keepers in the third heavens of hope and happiness; but there is another interest that looks upon this "below zero' business with pride as leading to profit. The plumbers are in re- quest. Water pipes and gas pipes, and drain pipes, and all other pipes for domes- tic use and convenience have been frozen into inactivity, and the handicraft- men with their soldering irons are at pre- mium. The bosses know how to charge, and the journeymen understand what kill ing time is; and the householder suffers and works dependent on motive power are inconvenienced. An, yes; and worse than all, the poor and destitute suffer un told and indescribable misery. The plumber cannot do anything for the foodless an6
 the fireless; but the baker and the butcher
 and the woollen draper could do much, d the instance, and by the iberality of the sleigh gh-riders, and the others to whom tn, l cold snap is a reasonable and welcome wis | itant

The secretary of the state board of health of Illinois wanted to know what progress, if any, the colored people of Michigan were making i'll sanitary matters. Brother Gard. ner said he would like general discussion ot the subject, and Sir Isaac Walpole arose tc remark that he was making progress. Up tc year ago he didn't know that seven persons and dog sleeping in an 8x1O room with al the windows down and the doors closed was injurious to the human system. He sup posed the feeling of languor was brought or by non-circulation of blood in the feet.

Ar it again. Edward McGlynn's Sab bath discourse yesterday evening in New York was of piece with his previous essays to belittle the Church that had made him great. The subject of the ad- dress was one fruitful of topic for the delectation of anti-Catholic hearers; and MT McGlynn's treatment of "The Ecclesi- astical Machine in American Politics. was all that could be desired or hoped for by those who are ever glad to catch apos- tates "to curse the faith their sires adored." The Doctor as we glean from the brief report at hand was somewhat less indecent in language than in former displays; but his allegations of corrupt compacts between Church dignitaries and political ringsters were as bold and blatant as ever. Will no friend take hold of this once great man and prevent the scandal giving-or induce him to formally leave
 the fold which he dishonors by his pro fessed love.

THE Catholic Churches of the City are resolved on making good record in the matter of Hospital collections. Yesterday the congregation at St Ann's had opportu- nifty of exhibiting zeal and liberality in the good work; and it is announced that on Sunday next the parishioners of Brooklyn will be called upon to perform their part. The Hospital will be unsectarian, and peo' pie of all shades and denominations of re ligious faith and practice can conscien tiously contribute. There are several churches and meeting places yet to be heard from we hope the next hearing from all will be encouraging; and that tht encouragement will lead to further effor until the grand design shall have been ac complished.
