It is feared lie is hurt internally. Dr Hart attended to his wounds.
 Another accident occurred. Monday morning, at Shorts factory. As Patsy Kane was leaning against a belt, the en- zine started and caught his hand between the pulley and the belt.

If the strongest motive in the Christ ian church centers upon material pros perity, first, last and always, AS now ap- pears in the large outlook, not even the eloquence of St Paul could turn the mul- titude from the Mecca of their ambition. The men in the American pulpit, most respected for ability, uprightness and eloquence born of deep conviction, only touch the outermost fringe of the con- sciences of their most hardened hearers. The truth is either resisted with iryita- tion, denied without reason Or turned over to that convenient soape goat; ths next pew neighbor. .-~[ Rev F. s. Root,

The church is never stronger than the average religion of it's membership. Your weakness, my weakness as a Chris tian, interposes one more obstacle to the triumph of faith. But your strength, my strength as a Christian, drives one more nail into the coffin of d formal and preteptious religion of fashion and dis play. O, let not the caudlestick be moved from it's place and let us not fail of that repentance which flashes anew upon the soul the light of Gods forgive ness.- Rev K. $. Root.

Time was when yoke of oxen were considered indispensable adjuncts of a New England farm, but it seems that they no longer occupy that position. At the HanIpden County Harvest club meet ing, the other day, farmer called atten- tion to this fact, saying that few years ago in his town over 40 yoke of cattle were got together for the moving of q church on wheels. Now scarcely yoke can be found there. Oxen are fast giv- ing way to horses for farm work, and the latter are considered cheaper on the whole and more generally useful. At the same time, New England farm without yoke of oxen looks queer to the men of to-day who passed their boy hood tilling the soil. It disturbs the fa- miliar pcture.-[ Boston Herald.

sent by Mrs. Cheshire to the defendants house
the night of the shooting.
The government objected on the ground that
such testimony was not proper.
Judge Wilson-DoI understand the court TO
rule out the question?
The court-Not yet. I am waiting for you to
show that it is proper testimony.
Judge Wilson-Well, know that in ordinary
cases such testimony would not be admissible.
Mr.. Clagett-Why do you offer it. then. Judge?
Judge Wilson-Because think that in this in
stance the ends of justice would be best Sc
cured by admitting it.
The court-The testimony Of tho witness
Gassaway has not been attacked. unless his own
examination was in the nature Of one and there
is no reason for departing from the ordinary
rules of evidence.
Mrs. Cheshire was then excused from the
stand without having given a word of testimony.
AN EARLY RECESS.
Judge Wilson thereupon stated that with the
possible examination Of another witness the
case for the defense was closed There were,
however. several witnesses examined by
the defense whom the government de-
sired to further cross-examine, but
none of them were present They
had been sent for, however. but it would be an
hour or more before they could be obtained.
and for that reason he would ask a recess until
l:3O He felt far from well and would be es-
peclally gratified for such rest recess was
then, at ll:15, ordered until that hour.
