HATTERTOWN.
AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

Eugene Northrop and Edward Booth, while returning from Danbury last week, experienced short, but exciting runa- way. While going down the hill just south of Charles Patchen's, the horse became suddenly and unaccountably frightened and before the driver realized that anything was wrong, the horse sud- denly veered off into the ditch, overturn- ing the sleigh and precipitating the two astonished gentlemen into the snow. MT Booth, after rolling over two or three times in the snow, picked himself up and started to the rescue of MT Northrop, who had pluckily retained his hold of the reins. After being dragged several rods, Mir Northrop succeeded in stopping the horse. Though somewhat shaken up, neither of them were injured.

NUMBER 4.
are given by sound Christian belief and

practice.
 THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH is the great society encouraging both zeal and knowledge. Her mission to men is guided by her preservation of catholic truth, her preservation of apostolic order and her ministration of sacranental grace.
 And more than anything else it is the church's adherence to the true faith. to system that preserves her from every suc- cessive wave of religious fanaticism and from every wind of false doctrine that sweeps across her path And mark my word, wherever you see any Christian thus swept along in the rising tide of CT TOT you will find a neglect of sacraments, or rejection of the faith, or disregard of the apostolic ministry.
 It always seems that where there is a lack of knowledge, there is also sure to be an excess of zeal.
 Just as many bad cause is propped up by shrewd reasoning and keen argument.
 But finally let it be ever remembered that there is responsibility of ignorance just as there is responsibility of zeal
 The Jews were not excused for this failure to receive the more perfect knowl- edge revealed in Christianity.
 You and I and all men are expected to be jealous and sincere, but we should never be content until our zeal and sim cerity are manifested according to the principles of Christian truth and Christ ian morality, and dictated by the laws of practical wisdom, clear judgment, keen discernment, wholesome discretion and sterling common sense.

WILD CATTLE.

The Danbury party who puI chased the cattle belonging to the estate of the late Adoniram Fairchild, had a hard time getting them, as they were so wild, made so by running at large over so large a tract of land and rarely seeing a human being. Sunday, J. H. Summers and a force of men captured them, though to do SO, it was necessary to shoot them.

A POWERFUL AND ELOQUENT D1sCoURs E.

Preached Dy Rev dr LlnsIey at Trinity Church, last SunGay.-"They Have a Zeal of God, but not According to KnoWledge.'
 The audience at Trinity church, last Sunday, enjoyed a sermon of remarkable power and ciearness of thought. Rev MT Liusley took his text from ROm- lO:2, They have zeal of God, but not accord ing to knowledge" In opening the preacher said: There is an idea very prevalent among people nowadays that it matters not what man believes if he is only sincere. They would make sheer ity the test oi religious belief and the eN- cuse for bad judgment.
 They think zeal and enthusiasm such commendable things that they forget the importance of their indispensable accom- paniments. There are people who seem to be so constituted that they expect everyone
 To FLOCK TO EVERY NEW MOVEMENT which comes up, as long as it displays some zeal. N
 It matters not how fanatical the notion may be, how outlandish the hobby may appear, how reasonable the craze may become, as long as it claims to be in the 1 name of morality or in the name of relig- ion, it's promoters expect Christian peo- pie to follow them, or they brand them because they do not.
 They make d sham of zeal (let us even give them the credit of being sincere) but is sincerity enough:
 We live in the day of clubs and socie- ties, associations and conventions. Some people seem to think that every noble virtue and every degrading vice must have it's corresponding club or society or association. And we are asked to join this and to join that until if We did so, l life would be taken up with attending conventions and meetings.
 But there are many other clubs and so- cieties and associations and movements both moral and religious which ''have a zeal, but not according to knowledge. And by knowledge mean here both the revealed Christian faith and Christian morality, and wisdom and
 DISCRETION AND GOOD JUDGMENT.
 At one time it was Spiritualism- Il drew many after it and they were asham ed of themselves afterwards.
 At another time it was the Millerit' craze. It drew many after it and the, are an astonishment to themselves to-day
 Now and again it is some temperance excitement, perfectly right in itself, bu injured by bad methods. It lasts for 1 while and then dies out.
 Now it is some other new tangled no tion. It creates some little local and tenn porary excitement. It flashes brilliant ly; it fades suddenly; it will die an ig nominious death.
 They are all marks of zeal. Thei champions are enthusiastic. 1 am evel Iwilling to call them sincere. But thi does not excuse them.
 1 tell you zeal is a very dangerous thini unless il is rightly directed. Enthusiasm may work untold harm unless it is unde good guidance. .'They have a zeal 0 God but not according to knowledge"
 Does some one tell me that this one sincere, zealous, enthusiastic? I want ? know is he right? Is what he says truth Does he show good judgment? Is he j' dicious, wise, discreet.
 Is his zeal according to knowledg

KICKING. KICKING, KICKING.

The world is. full of chronic kickers and few of them have found their way as far beyond the confines of civilization as Hattertown. They are always kick ing about sc.4ething. Just now it's the cold weather. I met one a few days ago. 'Fine winter weather, this,'' said I. Ugh, fine-cold enough to freeze & bear" said this chronic kicker, pulling his coat collar further up around his ears. with a dismal shiver. Wait until next August-that kicker win kick with both feet, because it's so hot. We'll, no doubt it's natural for us all to kick if things don't go to suit us-it's human nature.

ATLANTIC CiTY, N. J., August :. The rescue of ten persons from a capsized yacht was witnessed yester- day by thousands who thronged the inlet pavilions. The craft was the catboat Aunie May, which gained considerable notoriety three weeks ago through the suicide of Elmer Hammond, who jumped frcm her deck into the ocean after he had tied irons to his feet She left the inlet about 2 o'clock with ten passengers, Capt. Somers and his grandson, a youth B years old, who distinguished himself in the ac- cident by his bravery. She was observed to take the usual course to go through the treacherous shoals that ,obstruct the inlet entrance, and a moment or two later people in the pavilions were horr;fe1 to see her suddenly become entangled with the breakers on a bar. She struggled a few minutes ia helpless way and then keeled over. Like flash the passengers, five men and two boys and a three year-old child, besides the captain and his assist ants, were precipitated into the sea but succeeded in gaining holds on

His forces are demoralized and it is be- lieved the seige will end wi.hin few hours with the evacuation of the city by the provincial governments troops. Three thousand civico.na- cionales are encamped outside tenn porarily, ready to march into La Plato. They are well armed and have several batteries of Gatlin guns.
 Bosch, member of the chamber of deputies, asked the cabinet to send a warship to La Plato to aid Governor Costa in defending the city, but the request was not granted, and Governor Costa suffered the humiliation of having the govern ment directly refuse to aid him. Members of the cabinet informed bis representative that the national government would mantain a strict neutrality between the combatants in the disturbed provinces.

 SAN FRANCISCO, August 5--The Southern Pacific Company is pursu. ing a policy of retrenchment and has discharged 1000 employees, de- creasing the monthly payroll not less than $75 ,000, or at the rate of $900,0 GOO annually. The discharged men were on the Pacific system or lines west of Fl Paso and Ogden and south of Portland. A reduction has also been made on the Atlantic sys- tenn, east of Fl Paso, but to just what extent is not known here. This wholesale discharge of em- ployes is in addition to the recent reduction of daily hours of labor in various shops of he system. For some time past nine hours day has been the rule in these shops, the men always being paid by the hour. Now they are working eight hours a day, which is 10 par cent. reduction of time, and is said to be equivalent to the discharge of 600 men.

 Fine Cargo.

The Maggie E. Mckenzie Arrives With n
 Fine Cargo.
 GLOUCESTER, MAss., August 7.-- The schooner Maggie E. McKen- zie, the first of the Iceland Halibut fleet, has arrived, bringing TO, 900 pounds of halibut and 40, GOO pounds of cod6sh Capt. Mckenzie re- ported fine weather at Iceland, but southwest winds&and heavy rains prevailed during the spring and summer, something very unusual, as the northeast wind IS usually the prevailing one. In the summer season the grass and root crops were remarkably good. There is much sickness among the Icelanders, also among the crew of American fishermen. English, French and Norwegian cod fisher men did fairly well and the natives made large catches of cod and ling. Whales are plentiful and Scotch and Danish whaling vessels have done well. The schooner Concord lost one of her crew by the capsizing of a dory.
 On leaving Dyrefiord the McKen- zie left the following vessels which will remain to complete their trip: The Rigel, with 100000 pounds of feeched halibut; the Concord, with 100 GOO pounds the Magnolia, with 1000 pounds; the Spencer F. Baird, with 100000 pounds :; the Blue Jacket, with 10000 pounds; A. D. Story, with 10000 pounds; Alice c. Jordan, with 45,000 pounds; the Laurel, with 90,000 pounds, and the Mary E., with 10000 pounds. Owing to the scarcity of halibut and inc high prices prevailing at the present time the Mckenzie will prob ably make the largest amount in the history of that fishery.
