THE METHODIST CHURCH CORNER
STONE,

An aged resident of the village, who
was there, writes as follows regarding
the ceremonies attending the laying of
the cornerstone of the Methodist church.
Sept. %, 1887;
ut was an event which deserves more
than a passing notice, since all the tram
sactions of those days have passed into
history. One of the attractions was the
Green Mountain Rifles, which then had
existence here and were out that day for
drill, and, whether prearranged or other
wise. were invited to witness the cere-
monies. Accordingly at the appointed
time they marched to the ground. where
mad already assembled large company
OF people to see the, to them, unusual pro-
ceedlDgs. The most interesting part of
the days doings was the reading of a pa
per drawn up by Z. d. Barber. a promi-
heht lawyer of those times, In which he
gave brief history of the national gov
eminent as then administered. with the
names of the heads of the several de-
dent. After describing the national gov
ernment he turned to the affairs of this
State, mentioned the names of the prin-
cipal officers, and then gave the names
of the most prominent men in the vii
lage-the president of the college, the
lawyers, physicians, merchants, etc.
After it had been read, the paper was
placed in small tin box, which was de-
posted IN cavity that had been chiseled
in the main foundation stone: then the
cornerstone, which had previously been
fitted, was placed over it. There the
box has remained ever since. no one
dreaming that it would ever be brought
to light through the agency of fire. AZ
ter all was over Oliver Wellington with
his trOwel put on the finishing touches,
as he knew so well how to do. And now
it is to be hoped that before another ed
ifice is erected on those foundations
the cornerstone will be raised and the
paper secured and printed, in order that
all may see the changes which have been
wrought since it was written"

There Is Said tn Be Certain and Rapid
Means Of Reconsideration.


There Is Said to BE a Certain and Rapid
Means of Reconsideration.
Colonel Henry Elsdale. of the Royal
engineers. claims to have discovered q
certain and rapid means of resuscitating
persons from the effects of suffocation.
A sapper among the men under his CON-
manC at Chatham was one day found
enveloped in the folds Of half empty
war balloon The coal gas with which
it had been inflated had suffocated him,
and to all appearances he was dead
man. But efforts were made to restore
him, though tbs pulseless heart and ca
daverous face of the man gave no en-
enlargement to persevere In a mo-
ment of something like inspiration it
occurred to Colonel Elsdale to send for
some tubes Of compressed oxygen, which
had been prepared for the oxyhydrogen
light.
This pure oxygen, at very high pres
sure, was hurriedly conveyed into the
mouth of the PROSTATE sapper by means
Of inserting the nozzle of the valve be-
tween his teeth, and the supply was
''gently turned on" to the smallest ex-
tent. The effect was absolutely instan-
taneous In an instant he opened his
eyes and seized the nozzle between his
teeth. In short, the sapper was not only
thoroughly revived within a few min
utes, but in half an hour walked away,
quite well, to the barracks. and refused
TO go to the military hospital, as was
suggested by his commanding officer.
OF course the objection will be raised
that everybody has not tubes Of pure
oxygen at high pressure in readiness to
apply to such cases. Happily oxygen in
quantities rs large as those administered
is not needed, and it can be stored ''in
small, strong bottles made of the finest
steel, with valve giving an absolute
hermetic SEAL"
These vessels may be as small as q
soda water bottle and may be made part
Of the medical stock of every doctor.
Oxygen at any degree of compression
required can, in fact, now be obtained,
and the whole apparatus for restoring
vitality can be packed in a small box
quite portable.
What possibilities may not such dis
covery as that to which we have drawn
attention involve! 1t is equally availa-
BILE, we are assured, for those persons
who have been asphyxiated by choke
damp in coal mines, or by ordinary coal
gas. People apparently drowned, and
those insensible from long exposure in
the rigging of ship, might also he saved
from an untimely end by what Colonel
Elsdale calls "a dose of oxygen"
1t would probably be invaluable, too,
in cases Of srffocation from the fumes Of
charcoal, or in cases where chloroform
had operated injuriously on weak
heart. Such discovery should at once
occupy the attention of the Royal Col
lege of Physicians, with view of ascer-
tanning whether Colonel Elsdale has
overrated the benefcient effects to be an
ticipated from the administration of
pure oxygen.-London Chronicle.
