promulgated by the Western Union Tel
egraph company which took effect Oct.
LIST. 1t is that hereafter figures will be
counted only third of a word each.

WE notice that the Rev. j. H. Ross,
formerly of Troy, n. Y, and whilom ed
ltorial writer upon one of our Troy ex-
changes, has severed his relations with
the church i'll SOmerville, Mass, of which
he has been the pastor for a number of
years. He was at first very successful in
In an evil hour the church
building was sub-let to the congregation
of another denomination and soon after
trouble began. Mr.. Ross endured this
state of affairs two years, and then re-
signed. The afternoon use of the church
did not reduce Mr.. Ross's membership
but it bred discord.

Grand Patron, and Mrs. Janet p. Black

saints and martyrs, it honors not only
those who did and suffered much for the
faith, but those "obscure martyrs" un-
known beyond their own narrow circle,
yet of whose virtue, of whose heroism,
