Winchester Presbytery met at MIN
evan Church in Warren county. Va,
last Wednesday evening. Nearly all
the ministers and fair delegation of
ruling elders were present. DIR. n.
c. Alexander preached the opening
sermon. Missionary reports were
made which gave encouragement in
both home and foreign missionary
work. PresbYLery has seven candf-
dates for the ministry. Resolutions
of respect were passed concerning
the late Judge Jas. ID. Armstrong and
copy of them ordered to his family.
The pastoral relation of Rev. G. w.
Hollis with Nineyah and Front Royal
churches was dissolved, also that of
Rev. III. w. Woodwork with Davis
church. Calls were presented by
Springfield and Patterson's Greek
churches for the Rev. G. w. Hollis,
by Smithfield church for Rev. c. r.
Stribling, by Elk Garden Church
for Rev. John johnson, and by
Elk Branch Church for Rev. j.
E. TripIett, all of which
were accepted, and order was taken
for the installation of these ministers
over these churches. The Presby-
terry adopted the new scheme of col
lections as ordered by the General
Assembly. Permission was given
Gerardstown church to prosecute a
call for Licentiate Ashton White. now
of Pocahontas, and to Woodstock
church TO prosecute call for Rev.
p. d. Stephenson, D. d. If these
brethren accept the calls rendered
them the vacancies of Presbytery
will be nearly filed. A call was also
presented for the pastoral services of
Rev. 1. N. Campbell from Peters
burg church, and Mr.. C. was allowed
to retain it until next Presbytery,
which will meet in Keyser in April.
Ninevah gave the Presbytery most
cordial welcome and ample enter
tainment. Large numbers of per-
sons attended the business and de-
votionaI meetings. Sunday morning
the new and beautiful building in
which Presbytery met was dedicated
in the presence of a crowded con-
gregation, the communion was ceIe-
brated and the congregation was
filed with rejoicing in getting their
house completed and the last cent of
debt paid off. Jonah fed from an
cient Ninevah, but members of Win
chesterY PreshyterY will not hesitate
to so again to the modern Ninevah.

The dedication of the new Baptist
chapel at Shenandoah Junction, on
Sunday last, was attended by very
large number of persons from all
parts of the county. The services
were conducted by Rev. S. w Cole,
of Charles Town, and participated in
by Rev. W. +. Hatcher, D. D.. of
Richmond, Va, Rev. N. S. Read, of
Philadelphia, Pa. and Rev. John

Promptly at IL O'Clock the services
began by the. whole congregation
singing praise God from whom all
blessings flow" followed by an earn
est invocation by the pastor, Rev.
Cole, and singing of hymn. The
27th Psalm was read by Rev. Read,
and then came the dedication sermon
by DIR. Hatcher, taking for his text
the 24th verse of the 27th psalm.
The sermon was an able one, full
of interest and instruction. and which
held the large audience in wrapt at
tention from the beginning until the
closing word. The speaker at the
close of the sermon took up collec-
ton for the purpose of paying off the
debt due on the building and sue
ceeded in raising $4,000. The
prayer in which, the house was set
apart for the worship of Almighty
God was offered by Rev. NJ. S. Read

jacent grove and partoek of boun-
teous repast which had been prepared

pitched his tent toward Sodom, after
which the crowd dispersed expressing
themselves as seldom having had SO

The Snake killing Secretary Bird.

As soon as it discovers snake it adj
vances toward it without hurry and
without hesitation, and when within
striking distance it immediately ele-
Yates its breast and the feathers of the
neck and without losing any time de-
hvers blow with its foot IF the
snake has avoided the blow and at
tempts to strike in return, the bird
interposes a wing, thus receiving the
deadly fangs harmlessly upon the
long feathers, and Immediately strikes
again.
The fight is then virtually over; for
II the secretary gets in single blow
the snakes back is broken, and the
bird, like lightning, plants its foot
firmly on the reptiles neck and head,
pressing them into the ground, while
it delivers the coup de grace with its
beak and then deliberately swallows
the snake whole, beginning at the tail
and just befo-e the head disappears
giving it a parting rap on the ground.
But there is nothing refined about
the secretary birds appetite, for one
writer says he found inside one three
serpents ssas long as his arm" eleven
lizards seven inches long, twenty-one
tortoises about two inches in diameter,
ssbesidesa large quantity of grass-hop-
pers and other insects or in other
words, seven and half feet of snake,
six and half of lizard, three and a
half of tortoise, and, say yard OF
miscellaneous trifesl
The secretary bird is protected by
fhe Cape authorities for the immense
public benefit it confers In eating
poisonous snakes. and penalty is at
tao he'd by law to its destruction And
if it were necessary hundreds of eye
witnesses could be called to prove its
right to the title of s5erpentartus. "
Curiously enough, too, this bird can
| be trained and is trained to protect
poultry yards, not only from snakes,
which are all too fond of eggs, but
from other birds Of prey [St. James's

Frogs are mainly juice. If they try
to make more than short journey
away from moisture, In drought,
they will perish for want of water
and then their bodies viii dry away.
The frogs bones are SO soft that he
scarcely leaves any skeleton.
A frog meets with remarkable changes
during his natural life. He begins as
an egg and matches out as fish. That
is, tadpole, or polliwog, at first has
gills, breathing water alone. In his
early days. however, the tadpole soon
loses the outside part of his gills and
breathes air; so that he has to como
to the surface Of the water every few
minutes, like porpoise, to get fresh
gulp of breath
During the first part of his career,
he swims by sculling with his long tail
After a while his legs begin to grow
out, his tail becomes shorter and short
er, and when he is complete frog, he
has no tail at all, but swims by kick
ing. When half frog and half tad
pole, he still has good deal of tail,
and, in addition, big hind legs and
mere sprouts of forelegs; SO that he Is
very funny locking fellow. A bull
frog tadpole at this stage seems s1nei-
ther of heaven nor of earth.
Again, the tadpole eats water pianist
but when he becomes a frog, he feeds
on animal ife Tadpoles eat the green
moss or s.scum" that we see SO often
on logs and plants in stagnant pool.
and they show good appetite for soft,
decaying water growths- The fouler
the pool, the happier the tadpoles. A.
they are numerous, and thus devour =
great amount of matter that would
make it very unhealthy to live near :
stagnant pond, they are really useful
creatures.
In captivity they viii generally eat
meat, whether good or bad, as well a.
bread and bran dough; and, as :
special relish, viii sometimes lunch On
one another's tails.
