the loft of the barn. The pulley ap-
paratus with the aid of which the hay
was hoisted was fastened to beam
suspended from the cupola of the build
ing. This, with the strain of the hay.
pulled loose. and cupola, hay and beam
came crashing down. Frost was caught
under the falling beam and severely
bruised about the head and shoulders
though it is thought no permanent in
juries were inflicted. His eye was
blackened and a severe cash was cut
across his forehead The other men
standing near sprang out of the way in
time to avoid the falling lu11ber.

most marvellous specimen which faith
and will can produce.
At meeting of the executive commit

the sense of the committee to be that the
