prophecies favored with especial rev.
Citations from God. She was tried for
sedition and heresy, convicted and
imprisoned, and afterwards sent out
of the colony. She was horn in Eng
land In 1891, and with her husband
came to Boston In 1884. The dispute
over her opinions involved almost
every one In the colony. Vane, Cot
ton, and all the Boston ministers
supported her; the country clergy op-
posed her. Her opinions were con-
demned on August 30, 1887, by the
synod, and In November, after two
days trial, she was banlshed. She
was allowed to pass the winter at
Roxbury, and in the spring she joined

Dutch possessions, and in l643 was

are self-trimmed and are without

Care Of Horses.

Driving horses are frequently in

A driving horse may be injured for

the hoofs may become injuredoby the
animal being confined severxidays in
a narrow stall with no opportunity
for exercise; and tnis is likely TO be
further aggravated by being obliged

to immerse the seed wheat or oats In
