Judge Aldrich remarked to the
grand jury yesterday that something
should he done towards providing
the county with a more commodious

fleet credit to the county, which was
one OF the most prosperous in tie
State. He furthermore intimated
that if the county commissioners
would not act on the recommendations
of the grand jury, Il case might be
made against them in the court of

Rev. NI. &. Carlisle on Sanc.sncntion.


1t tends to disregard of the
church and it's rcgulcr constituted
authority. Until seeds of this doc
trinc were sown within the last few
years, there never was known any
interference by outside parties with
the work Of the regular pastor in the
territory assigned to his care and
oversight by the Annual Conference.
Now 1t has come to pass that even Il
local preacher from distant Confer
encc can go out Us an evangelist, and
by utterly ignoring tho preacher in
charge OF any given circuit in anoth-
er Conference, hold his "Holincss
meetings." and because, forsooth, the
preacher III charge there, nor the
membership of the church, do not
fall in with him an his aggressive
ways, the allegation is made that
there is no religion or christianity in
either pastor or people. All such TN
solicited interference with the work of
the regular constituted ministry, in
any given territory, must and will work
an injury to the interests of the
church. He did not believe that
three fourths Of the Methodist church
were barllslidcrs and apostatcs, and
that their salvation depended on the
acceptance Of the second blessing
theory Of sanctiicntiOr. - Keowce

WELLINGTON'S PLANS.
His Designs We're Constantly Subject tC

His Designs We're Constantly Subject to
Sudden Changes.
Before the battle of Waterloo no one
was probably more uneasy than Lord
Uxbridge, who, if Wellington should be
killed, would be called upon to succeed
him in command, and who knew moth
ing whatever about the Dukes plans.
81 am in very difficult position" he
said to friend, eff any accident hap
pens to the Duke l shall find myself
commander-in-chi / would give any
thing in the world to know the Dukes
projects, and yet dare not ask him
what ought to do"
After some consultation on the SUBJ
ject, they went together to Wellington
and frankly told him the difficulty in
hand.
The Duke listened without impati-
ence, and at the end of Lord Uxbridge's
speech, he said, calmly: "Who will
attack the first tomorrow, or Bona
parte?"
"Bonaparte," replied Lord Uxbridge.
SWELL" continued the Duke, "Bona.
parte has not given me any idea of his
projects, and as my plans will depend
upon his, how can you expect me to tell
/ you what mine are?"
Lord Uxbridge bowed, and made no
reply. The Duke rose, and continued,
touching him in friendly way on the
shoulders:
"There is one thing certain, Uxbri dge;
that is, that, whatever happens, you and
l will do our duty"
| He then shook his hand warmly, and
they separated, Lord Uxbridge no wiser
than before, yet feeling that Wellington
had trusted him exactly as far as his ret
icent nature would allow.
| Yet the great Duke did depend in a
great measure upon the application of
common sense to the needs of the mo-
ment. When he was once asked how
he succeeded in conquering Napoloon's
marshals, one after another, he replied:
"They planned their campaigns just
as you might make splendid set of
harness. 1t looks very we'll, and an
swers very well, until it gets broken,
and then you are done. Now, made
my campaign of ropes. If any thing
went wrong, tied knot and went on. :"
On another occasion he confessed that
his success in life was to be attributed
to ''the application Of good sense to the
circumstances of the moment"
Thus, although reticent man by
nature, it is possible that he did not re
main silent from choice alone, but be

A CURIOUS DINNER.
Biacksnake Was the Only Dish and 1t Was
Eaten Raw.

During the War of the Revolution,
while Washington's army was marching
through snow and ice in what was then
wilderness in New Jersey, three men,
who were members of the same rogi-
ment, were lost in the woods. For
several days they wandered about in the
terrible cold, with scarcely clothing suf-
ficient to keep them from freezing, and
with no food. Tho granddaughter of one
of these men now lives in this city, and
tells this bit of interesting history,
which has been handed down to her
direct from her grandfather.
After wandering for three days with
out food or warmth, the poor fellows
began to weaken and stagger YEARLY.
1t was evident that they could live but
short time unless some assistance
should reach them. All three carried
their cguns, but fate seemed against
them. Not bit of game of any kind
could they find. At last, driven to des-
peration, they decided to cast lots to see
who should die that the others might
live. The lot fell on the grandfather
whose descendant tells this story.
1t was the morning before Christmas
that this took place, and when the man
whose fate had been sealed prepared to
give up his life, calmly and without a
murmur, his companions refused to take
it, resolving to die themselves rather
than to eat their comrade. Just as they
were about to resume their weary
journey, weak and exhausted and
scarcely able to stand, a huge blacksnake
crawled by them. Quick as a flash one
of the men pierced the reptile with the
bayonet of his gun. Snake flesh was
not thought to be very palatable, but
when hunger makes men desperate they
are not particular as to the quality of
food they can get. So while his snake
ship was still wriggling on the ground,
an extremely unwilling prisoner, he
was carefully cut in three pieces, and
the three soldiers enjoyed their first
meal in nearly four days. This was a
Christmas dinner which Grandfather
Boynton spoke of in after years as ''the
sweetest morsel of food that ever passed
my lips. buffalo Express.

A GOOD DOG STORY.
A "Reminiscences of Old Days When t
Crinoline Ruled.

A "Reminiscences of Old Days When the
Crinoline Ruled.
1t happened in the old crinoline DAYS.
My aunt, who was then living in
| country town, had gone out shopping
! one morning and was standing in tho
High street, talking to lady friend,
Mrs. Gumworthy, the doctors wife. She,
my aunt, had on a new crinoline that
morning, in which, to use her own express
sion, she rather fancied herself. 1t was
a tremendously big one, as stiff as a
wire fence. 1t set beautifully. They
were standing in front of jenkins, the
Diapers; and my aunt thinks that it (the
crinoline) must have got caught up in
something, and an opening thus left
between it and the ground. However
this may be, certain it is that an
absurdly large and powerful bulldog,
who was fooling round about there at
the time, managed, somehow or other to
squirm in undermy aunt's crinoline and
etfectually imprison himself beneath it.
Finding himself suddenly in dark and
gloomy chamber the dog, naturally
enough, gotfrightened and made frantic
rushes to get out. But whichever way
he charged there was the crinoline in
front of him. AS he flew he, of course,
carried it before him, and with the crino
line, of course, went my aunt. But no.
body knew the explanation. My
aunt herself did not know what
had happened. Nobody had seen
the dog creep inside the crinoline.
All the people did see was staid and
eminently respectable middle-aged lady,
suddenly, and without any apparent rea-
son, throw her umbrella down in the
road, fly up the High street at the rate
of ten miles an hour, rush across it at
the imminent risk of her life, dart down
it again on the other side, rush sideways,
like an excited crab, into grocer's
shop, run three times round the shop,
upsetting the whole stock in trade, come
out of the shop backward and knock
down postman, dash into the roadway
and spin round twice, hover for a mo-
ment, undecided, on the curb, and then
away up the hill again, as if she had
only just started, all the while scream
ing out at the top of her voice for some
body to stop her. OF course, everybody
thought that she was mad. The people
flew before her like chaff before the
wind. In less than ten seconds the High
street was a desert. The townsfolk
scampered into their shops and houses
and barricaded the doors. Brave men
dashed out and caught up little children
and bore them to places of safety amid
cheers. Carts and carriages were aban-
doned while the drivers climbed up
lamp posts. What would have happened
had the show gone on much longer
whether my aunt would have been shot,
or the fire engine Brought into requisi-
ton against her, II is impossible, having
regard to the terrified state of the crowd,
to say. Fortunately for her, she became
exhausted. With one despairing Shrek
she gave way, and sat down on the dog,
and peace reigned once again in that
sweet rural town.-Tinsley's Magazine.

MOTHERS HANDS.

Such beautiful. beautiful hands!
They were not white nor small,
And YOU know, would scarcely think
That they were fair ut all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptor's dream might be;
Yet were these aged, wrinkled hands
More beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful handsl
Though hearts were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling on
That children might be glad.

To childhood's distant day,
/ think how her hands rested not,
When mine were at their play.
But oh! beyond this shadow-land,
Where all is bright and fair,

The palms of victory bear
Where crystal streams. through endless time
Flow over golden sands;
And while the old grow young again
I'll clasp my mothers hands.
