stopped the whole machinery, before

men cared for him, almost fainting at
the sickening sight, Mr.. Noe re-
manned conscious, saying to those
around him: T have tried to live in
peace with all, must now prepare to

directed the manner in which his
property should be disposed of, and

ers being impressed by this good

erful sermon ever preached could
have affected them. MrNoe fingered
