The Sea Elephant.

A paper recently read before the LIN
mean society in London describes a
species of seal, attaining enormous di-
mansions, to which the name Of sea-
elephant has been given on account Of
2 trunktike appendage on the fore part
of the head. A specimen killed in the
Falkland islands was nearly nineteen
feet in length. The trunk is only a
foot long. These seals are peculiar to
the southern hemisphere.

A CORRECTION.
Allow me through the REVIEW on
behalf of the Board of Trustees of the
Methodist church to contradict the
statement made publicly several times
at the Holiness meeting in our town on
last Tuesday. 1T was declared that
the M. Z. church was closed against
\ no r,nntircr shot
PEELED to rent Hunts Hall: such state
ment was falsehood and an insult to
the Eoard of Trustees. When the
Pastor was spoken to about the use of
the church he informed the inquirer S
that it would be necessary to have a
meeting of the Trustees as they have
the authority OF opening and shutting
the church doors and as the Trutees
were not consulted about the matter
for any one to publicly declare that
the church was closed against them is
falsehood that needs contradiction.
| When man claiming high attachments
in Christian experience declares that
sbcnuicn was cioseo against
the Holiness meeting for fear of
splitting the church and that it better
be split before it all goes to hell. con-
vinces us of the possibility of getting
into the rut that Elijah got into in his
day that all Israel had gone after Baal
and 81 only am left.
Yours for the truth.
Rev. Maxwell.
