A Plunge aatn at Long ISLAM d.

For some time the boys on Long Island
have been accustomed to slide down the hill
of Garfield avenue, which leads to the Ponce
wharf. OF late the road has been iced over,
and is glare. on which 1t is impossible to
steer or stop. Recently Fred Dorsey and
some other boys were sliding there in the
evening, intending to slue around inside the
steamboat company's wharf. On account of
the darkness and the ice. young Dorsey was
unable to stop, and he shot off the end of the
wharf, sled and all, into the icy water. He
was quickly chilled through and could not
help himself. but his companions, after TROLL
ing for him with rope for some time, land
ed him unhurt, but not wishing to slide
again.

Saved by the Gear Of His trousers

Saved by the sear Of His Trousers.
What came near being fatal accident oc-
Cured In the Grand Trunk yard Saturday.
A gang of men who were at work In the
yard clearing ice out of the switches left off
work at noon and started to walk up the
yard to the station. An engine came along,
pushing two baggage cars, and forced the
men to step off the track. One of the men
made spring at the head of the first car, as
1t came along, intending to ride up the yard.
He slipped on piece of ice, and fell on one
knee on the car step, with the other leg
sticking out. This leg struck man named
Patrick Walsh, and knocked him fiat. He
rolled under the moving car, and would have
been crushed beneath the wheels but for a
aforementioned friend and stout pair of
trousers. The former seized the latter by
the seat. and jerked Mr.. Walsh out from be-
tween the wheels just as they grazed his
head. His hat was sacrificed, but thanks to
his trousers his life was saved.

were received yesterday by the clerk in
cases pending before the law court:
ANDRosCoGGIN COUNTY.
Benjamin M. Royal VS.. Cyrus Chandler.
ReScript by Judge Libbey: The declara-
tlon OF ancient persons, made while in pos
session Of land owned by them, pointing out
their boundaries on the land Itself, and who
are deceased at the time of the trial are adj
missible evidence, where nothing appears to
show that they were interested In thus
pointing out their boundaries, and 1t need
not appear affirmatiyely that the declara-
tions were made in restriction Of, or against.
their own rights.
When there Is some doubt as to whether
the acts and declarations were before or az
ter the person conveyed the land, 1t Is ques-
ton in the first instance to be determined by
the judge, in his discretion; and in the case
was properly determined.
Exceptions overruled.
Lula L. Mann, complt, VS.. DelbeTt Z.
Maxwell.
Rescript by Judge Libbey: The questions
put to Mrs. Judkins in her deposition were
clearly competent When evidence is Of
fered by party, and at the time, In tne
light of what has been developed, the Judge
thinks it incompetent and excludes 1t, but on
further developments he concludes to admit
1t, and so informs counsel before the evil
dence is closed, and he declines to put it in,
but elects to take his chance with the jury
without it,, is too late for him to insist on
exceptions after the verdict is against him.
Exceptions Overruled.

rect his course. Some tried to persuade him
not to attempt to 20 that night, but he would
not listen to their advice. Nothing was heard
from him, and Monday, some teamsrers
learned that he had not reached the camp
tanned. As a consequences, 1t was generally
believed that he had persisted In the woods
Excitement ran high. A searching party was
organized and thorough search was insti-
tuted. His tracks we're found and places
where he had sat down, tired from exhaus-
rods Of the camp, as 1t appeared that he
travelled In circle, as people always do
when lost In the woods. He finally came
upon his own tracks. where as the snow had
been drifting during the time, all traces of
him was lost, as though he had taken wings
that puzzled the wisest. A man was sent to
West Bethel to see IL anything could be
learned as to who he was or where he came
from. Here 1t was learned that he came
from Kennison's Camp In the south part of
Mason. Then some Of the party started for
the camp and met the lost man coming from
that camp all right and unconcerned as
though his disappearance had not created a
commotion 10 this little place. From his
own story when he finished his circle he took
his back tracks for his own camp.
He went to stable at the boarding house
at A. s. Beans steam mill In Mason and lay
down and slept awhile. then resumed his
tramp, going out into Bethel up through a
part Of Albany and reached camp about four
o'clock, Sunday morning having travelled
during the time some eighteen miles, through
snow nearly to his knees. Our people were
glad to learn of his safety, but next time he
takes such tramp they will wait till spring
as they will feel certain he is all right some

REPLY TO DR.. HAMMOND.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
la reply to DR.. Hammond l re-
spectfully offer the following re-
marks. The DR.. states: II do not
change that most solemn command
of Gods, Remember that thou keep
holy the Sabbath day that COM
mand was not intended for Christians
but for definite class of people who
lived prior to the Gospel dispense
ton" We read in Matthew 1916,
of young man asking Christ what
was he to do to be saved? And
Christ answered, "Keep the COM
mandments, which command has
ever been recognized by all Christ
ian churches therefore the Ten
Commandments are not thing of
the past as were other regulations of
the Mosaic law. The DR.. states that
the Apostles taught the first Christ
ians the practice of keeping Sunday
instead of the Sabbath. The Apostles
were the heads of the church and
therefore we say that the church
taught this practice. This is what
we learn from tradition and tradition
has ever been accounted, ga rag of
popery." My last question to the
DR.. was: Twill DR.. Hammond
acknowledge that that church had
the power to so change Gods ordi-
nance?" In his letter de ipSo ,tacto
he does SO. | am content and can
withdraw safely from the field.
