communion service, was the cause Of
the change. The minister said he could
never pass the wine to him again, and
the church unanimously consented to
use water instead.

course he cannot use snow in his refrig-
orator and ice pitcher, but he places
meat, fish, milk, butter, etc, on the
snow in the icehouse, and such articles
keep as we'll as thew would on ice.

his death. Marwood was shoemaker
by trade. In Horncastle, Lincolnshire,
where he lived, the people thought he
was wealthy and they were surprised
to learn that he had died insolvent.
