repeating in our interest as we'll as in othel
country towns. In years gone past man,
people have gone from this place who have
achieved fame and wealth and now the prob
lem comes to their former homes as is plainly
and truly stated by the following: "Witk
the completion of the parsonage at Newfaue
village three CT the four religious societies in
| town have very pleasant places of residence
for their pastors, and all of them have sub.
stantial houses of worship. A good thing in
connection with this is the fact that all the
societies are free from debt. 1t must be said,
however, that in common with every rural
community whose population is yearly grow
ing less the problem of keeping the parson-
age and the pulpit filled is with us growing
one. Ii any son of Newiane, who has been
prospered in matters financial in the state
OF ms adoption can see connection enough
between his prosperity and his early training
in any. one of these societies to warrant a
remembrance i'll his will, he would doubtless
be an important factor in that society's future
history"
Charles Church had a narrow escape from
death by being gored by ii bull last Wednes-
day, the timely arrival of assistance probably
saving him from n horrible end. From the
iacts reported to the writer it would seem
tnat Mr.. Church was feeding the animal with
others when he was attacked by him and ut
once thrown upon the ground, his boot being
nearly torn from his foot in the first attack.
Mr.. Church's call for help was heard by
George b. Hall in passing the barn in going
from the canning factory to his boarding
place, but supposing he was only driving his
stock away from him he paid no particular
attention to his call until he reached his
room ie m, At his boarding place when, happening
to look from window in his room, which
overlooked Mr.. Church's barn yard, he at
once took in the situation, and calling to his
roommate, H. L. Parker, they at once went
to his assistance and as they arrived the
animal raised him upon his head and they
were able to reach and get him over the
MIR. Church was badly bruised, but it is hoped
not seriously injured from his rough usage
and will probably make full recovery in due
time. 'o

The enormous incapacity of either Yer

tendent Stones annual report that 1865
teachers (out offs total number of 2951)

term. The number who taught three
terms running (Which we suppose means a

Unusual Phenomenon Witnessed

From the Peterson.
From the Philadelphia Record.
A novel phenomenon at sea was wit
messed from the German steamship Burg
meister Peterson, on Jan. last, to the
eastward OF the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland. She was bound from
Geestemunde to Philadelphia, and was
out of line Of a merchant craft es-
pecially a bulk oil carrier, in the midst
Of winter gales on the turbulent North
Atlantic Ocean. Early on the morning
of the 9Th inst. Chief Ofhcer Flesdorf
announced to Capt Bunger that numerous
black spots, increasing in size, with
the appearance of shoals, we're visible
in the distant horizon. 1t soon appeared
to the well-trained eye of the master
mariner that these were not ShOal spots,
but schools of whales. approaching the
vessel from all points of the compass
view from the vessels topmasthead
corroborated this theory. From every
quarter and i'm full view the mammoth
fishes appeared to be rising in herds from
the sea, dispOrting themselves and spout
ing geyseTs high IN the air. The monsters
keep disappearing and reappearing within
a few feet of the port and starboard bows
of the big tanker, until Capt. Burgers
sporting instincts got the better OF him,
and he ordered the harpoons and attach
ing lines I'm shape for an attack on the
whales number of which We're followed
by their young, that were as fearless as
their parents.
Two well-directed throws of the lance
from the bow brought 20 stop two of
the calves, and they were soon exhausted
and dragged on deck. They were two of
the very finest specimens, but were young
and not over twelve feet long.
Capt Bunger succeeded by cutting into
an oily secretion near the back Of the
fishes necks, in securing two barrels of
the best sperm oil. This is now slowed
away on the Peterson to be used In quiet
ing the sea in heavy gales, this grade of
oil being considered by experts to be the
most efficacious for this purpose.

TWO CHARRED BODIES
Found Under the Debris of Sundays
Big Bridge Wreck.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 29.-Two
more charrcd corpses were found deep
under the debris of Sundays wreck of
the Birmingham Mineral passenger train
and were brought here today. They
were too badly burned for Identification,
but it is regarded as certain that they
are the bodies of Y. w. Ifbbs and wife,
who are missing. The bodies recovered
today run the list of dead up to twenty
four.
A. II. Hinton of Pratt City was here
today searching for his 1S-year-old son,
who, he says, left home for Guerney Sat
urday and was to have left Blocton Sun,
day morning. He has not been seen
or heard of since and he is thought to
have been on the train, which will make
twenty-five lives lost.
Andrew Byron, an injured passenger, is
likely to die at any moment, which will
swell the death list to twenty-six.
There were ten funerals at Blocton to.
day and business in the town was sus.
pended for time.
