The storm and thunder gust that passed
over this section last Friday, 3rd instant, gave
us shower which raised the water in short
time. Grain shocks were blown down and
sheaves scattered over the fields. Just one

same hour, we were visited by such a storm,
but it lasted longer, aud was more of a ey-
clonic order 1t also caught the farmers with
part of their grain in shocks in the fields, but
after the wind had ceased they were found
scattered in the fields, only few shocks were
found standing.

REPORT ON CONSOLIDATION
Of the Benevolent Societies of tn,
Methodist Episcopal Church.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. April 24.-The COM
mission on consolidation of the benevolent
societies Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
has published in the Methodist weeklies
the report to be considered at the next gen.
eral conference in Los Angeles.
The recommendation is that the several
benevolent societies shall be consolidated
under these names:
O The board of foreign missions of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, (0 the board
of home missions and church extension of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, and CD
the board of education of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, or the board of educa-
ton, freedmen's aid and Sunday schools of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, as the
general conference may determine. To
carry out the plan it is suggested that the
missionary society obtain an amended act
of incorporation under the name of 1.-THE
Board of Foreign Missions Of the Method
list Episcopal Church." but preserving the
identity of the existing corporation. The
office shall continue to be in New York
city.
The present board of church extension is
to have it's charter amended by the state of
Pennsylvania, so that it can be united with
the Home missionary society, and its offices
are to remain in Philadelphia.
The Sunday School Union, the Tract So
ciety and the Freedmen's Aid Society are
to be included in the third society, men,
toned above. The Office is to be in Gin

Delitzsch Overshot the Mark.
of. Hainaeh in the Contemporary Review.

Prof. Hainach in the Contemporary Review.
Now it is one merit of Professor De-
litZsch's lectures that what was hitherto
but a dying whisper is now being shouted
out from the housetops! Merit is per-
haps scarcely the right term: the force lay
rather in the circumstances. But We need
not here set ourselves to weigh merits; let
us gratefully welcome the fact that De-
litzsch has inculcated upon extensive cir
cles a more correct view of the Old Testa-
menu.
error he has undoubtedly dispelled-the err
ror that all the sources OF the Old Testa-
ment are wholly original. But OF how little
value are the sources In the history OF re-
day some one were to step forward and an
nounce to the public: Gentlemen, l am
about to clear your minds of a great err
ror; hitherto you have been living in the
belief that Goethe's Faust is an original
work; as a matter of fact. however, IT is
later and secondary production; Tor the
whole substance of it was already con-
tanned in a popular book of the sixteenth
century," how would this statement be re-
ceiyed? People would simply laugh at
him. and Delitzsch himself would be among
the scoffers. True. it is quite certain that
he has no wish to estimate the worth or the
Old Testament religion according to the
degree of it's dependence on, or independ-
ence of. BabyIon: but to my mind he mas
not done enough to keep ms hearers anu
readers from forming an erroneous impress
sion For what those very hearers ana
leaders, allow to Goethe without more ado
they are far from conceding to the prophets
and psalmists. Again: because up to the
present moment superhuman Idea or the
Old Testament has prevailed. Il foliows ac-
cording to a well-known psychological law
that now the pendulum Of appreciation
swings TO the opposite extreme. And ~

His Fiftieth Jail Sentence.
mn the Montreal Gazette.

From the Montreal Gazette.
Francis Tierney, laborer. forty-five years
of age, was sentenced yesterday by Judge
Lafontaine to serve two terms in Jail, six
months for the theft of a stone and six
months for the theft of piece of pig iron.
Francis Tierney has been inside the walls
of the Montreal jail before and the two
sentences imposed on him yesterday mark
ed his forty-ninth and fiftieth sentences, or
as the court official said. his golden jubi-
lee' in prison. Tierney has served twenty
three years for drunkenness. nine for as
sault, eight for theft, four for vagrancy,
three for disorderly conduct, one for refus-
ing to pay his carter, one for obstructing a
constable in the performance of his duty,
and one for lettering. He received his first
sentence October 10, 1876, and he has served
a term every year since then, with the ex-
ceptions of the years 1878, 1880. 1854. 1885
and 1855 His terms have all been short,
ranging from eight days to six months. At
present he holds the prison record for the
number of terms served. and at his rate OF
going is likely to put it at a mark that will
seldom. if ever, be reached again. He has
never been sent to the penitentiary.
