AN ILLUSTRATION IN HANGING.

A sixteen-year-old lad gave vivid illus
tration by example, near Shelburne, Ont,
yesterday, of how United States boy
hanged himself after his mother had
whipped him. The Shelburne boy used
his little brother with such effect in his
illustration that the latter was strangled at
the end - rope. How much further tho
demonstration of sequences is to go will
depend upon the action which the authori-
ties Of tho law over the limo may sec At to
take.
To mind as FREQ from prejudice as is
possible, in the contemplation of the pecu.
liarly exasperating circumstances OF this
tragedy, 1t appears that the laws demon
stration should be q very striking one.
That elder brother needs to be
taught that human life, even II
It is all in the family, is not to be
fooled away with impunity through reck,
less attempt at an uncallod-for realism in
illustration. And perhaps his act and its
consequences may be made to constitute O
wholesome object lesson to other boy fend.
Of the toy pistol, the shotgun and the
moose.

THAT CHURCH STRIKE STILL ON.

That church strike is still on, over in
Elizabethport, and the Rev. Mr.. JOHNSON
found a little less than thirty-three and q
third per cent. OF the congregation in the
Fulton Street Methodist Episcopal Church
at Yesterdays services. To be sure, this
was an advance over the previous
Sunday, and 1t certainly was cheer
full to note that the church-bell
was rung as usual, which wasn't the case a
week ago. But undeniably, the chill In the
church circles is more pronounced than 1t
should be among heayts properly warmed
by the Gospel. Tho worst news of the
strike comes from the sunday-school room
where, It is alleged, the usual collection
was yesterday nearly forgotten.
As tho matter stands, the church and
trustees say they will have none Of the
Rev, Mr.. JOHNSON, but that since the Rev.
Mr.. srMPsoN is now out OF the question
they will compromise on some other min
lister. They suggest tho Rev. Mr..
BRADY, of Newark. Presiding Elder
BnIoE, in the face Of this, says the
question is one of authority and that the
church must submit. And meanwhile the
Rev. Mr.. JOHNSON breaches to empty pews
and sees his proffered hand Of friendship
rejected by Brother PARKE.
Ono OF the hymns at the Sunday school
session yesterday began like this;
Blsst be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love.

not move. Then the head usher was

we heard very little. except what came
