acquired no little reputation for what
the historian of Harvard calls his
irreverent way of offering information
to the Omniscient At the time when
the British troops were advancing
upon Lexington Mr.. Penniman prayed
from his pulpit:
I'VE pray Thee, o Lord, that Thou
wouldst send these British soldiers
where they will do some good, for
Thou knowest we have no use for
them about here"
During season of drought he
prayed eloquently that the Lord would
''vouchsafe that the bottles of heaven
may be uncorked and their refreshing
waters poured upon the parched
fields"
Soon the drought was broken. Day
after day the rain fell. The minister
felt that the good work was being
overdone. So he prayed again:
I've did ask. o Lord, that Thou
wouldst uncork the bottles of heaven,
but we sought not Thou shouldst
throw away the stopples."
At another time the orchards of Har-
ward were devastated by insects, and
the minister put up this petition:

take pity on us, and remove fsom our

a Marine Insuranoe Case,

Proceedings in maritime insurance case
began yesterday in the United States Dis
trict court, by the presentation of libel,
by Benjamin Thompson, ESQ.,, for the
libellants, the Portland Lloyds. 1t is against
Charles S. Pettengin and Hattie Il. Hooser
Of Bath, and is brought to recover for
certain policies of marine insurance, placed.
as it is alleged on various vessels at the re-
quest of the defendant.
In the former case, the insurance covered
several vessels in which the defendant was
interested, the sum claimed amounting to
SOS, SO, while in the latter case, the insur-
ance was confined to the ship James
Nesmith, and the amount claimed is S705. 67.
In this case the special point in dispute
seems to be the third clause, which reads as
ollows THAT on the 10th day of January,
1898, when said policy expired said vessel
was at sea and the ,libellant under the terms
of said policy was bound to insure said
vessel until her arrival on July Is, 1888, and
by reason thereof was entitled to an addi-
tional premium, and by reason thereof said
defendant become liable and agreed to nav
the libellant the sum of $144.67."
Hattie T.. Hooser and Levi Turner of Port
land, for Pettengill. 1t has not yet been
decided when the case will be heard.

ADoe STORY.
A Big st. Bernard That Cares For a FAMILY
of Kittens.

Mr.. Edward Darker, letter carrier
whose route takes him through Oakdale,
tells the following story about big st.
Bernard dog that belongs to Mr.. Clark,
of Fessenden St. Whenever Mr.. Darker
comes to the house with letter the dog
greets him with savage banks and and
evident intention to eat him up. But
Mr.. Darker simply says where are the
kittens?" and the dogs tail begins to
wag, and he leads the way into the house
eager and pleased to respond to the ques-
tion. He goes straight to the basket
where the kittens lay and looks at them
and then at Mr.. Darker as much as to
say Worth looking at, aren't they?' or
something to that effect But he will
not allow kitten to be touched or even
approached very near. The kittens have
recently become so large that they are too
heavy for the old cat to carry about.
When she wants them removed, as is
frequently the case, either upstairs OF
down she goes to the big St. Bernard and
rubs coaxingly against him. He is only
too glad to respond, and carefully taking
a kitten by the nape of the neck in his
great mouth he proudly follows the old
cat and deposits the precious burden
wherever she desires. The others are OF
course taken by him, one by one, till
all have been moved.
