Luther w. Humphrey, who lives on
the Bangor road and is one of the en-
ployes at the Boyd & Harvey sawmill
at Kennebec siding, met with a very
serious accident while at work in the
mill Saturday forenoon by getting
caught on circular saw at which he
was working. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Humphrey got upon the table to
do something to window and slipped
in such a way that his left leg came
in contact with the saw almost in the
l'nee joint. The saw cut ragged
cash clear across the leg and to the
bone, cutting off the tendons and max
ing an ugly wound. Mr.. Humphrey
was taken to his home and surgical
aid rendered. and although fears were

of another spring repairs are to be
made to the frame extension on the
east end of the brick building on Water

grounds for the trust thas we shall
survive death?
Philosophy is not against it, for the
greatest philosophers have believed In
it. Science brings affirmative testimony
to 1t. The modern law OF the con-
servatism Of force shows no loss or
destruction Of force or matter. Energy
changes, but does not die. Evolution
points to a constant unfolding and
progress to higher forms of being. The
overmastering desire for immortality is
one of the strongest grounds for the
future life. just as the lens of the
eye points to world to be seen, or
the wing of bird indicates an aerial
medium for flight, SO conclusiyely does
the desire for continued existence
prophesy its reality. Nature Is not a
lie. She does not taunt us with false
promises. The vitality of the spirit
in advanced years is another argument.
'"The soul does not age with the body"
wrote Emerson. A normal man or
woman grows In wisdom, spirituality,
sympathy, tenderness, charm and moral
beauty, so that it is true of such lat
evening time there shall be light"
Such lovely personalities only seem to
die. The husk and shell falls from
them, but we feel that their spirits can
not but live on beyond the grave, be-
yond the worlds. Strong corroDora-
tons az are these they are not de-
cisive. We crave for absolute assur-
ance upon matter of such vital mo-
ment And it can come only from one
source-revelatfon. Should not God
speak to those TO whom He has given
this irrepressible longing and settle it
with a word of certainty? And so the
Scripture assures us that He has done.
Jesus Christ hath abolished death and
brought life and immortality to light"
He declared the great truth that AL
live unto God" Our eyes see death,
but God knows only life and sees death
but to be a phase OF life.
Death is, then. but a stage of do
velopment. We enter the future very
much as we have left the present life.
We will progress in knowledge, in holl-
ness, in happiness or in the evil courses
and tendencies of our earthly lives.
and, in view of this fact, how i'm
portant becomes the state In which we
enter llfc-prepared or unprepared, sen
sual or spiritual, the servants OF Goa
or of the evil one
Lastly, in the light Of this great
truth of Immortality, VIII grandeur
attaches to life, How inc -c~lably it
Is increased ia value when we see
it under the aspect of eternity What
care one should have to his acts when
thew are seeds reaching out into I'M
diving ages. How different become our
aims and plans when they are not TO
be broken by death but to be carried
forward on larger scale hereafter

swift running stream. The only hope
was to hold the ground until troops
could cross at Edwards ferry and force
a way to the aid of the federaIs. Two
companies were pushed forward to feel
the enemy in the woods on the left,
and were met with a CALLING fire, which
was followed along the whole line of
the enemy, who, conscious of their
strength, closed in on both sides Of
the field with overwhelming force.
Here the gallant Col. Baker, while in
the act Of cheering on his men, fell
dead, pierced by a Confederate bullet.
The command then devolved upon Col
Cogswell, of the New York regiment.
There was now no recourse but t.,
attempt to regain the Maryland shoce.
The order was given to fall back, AMI
the men retired in an orderly manner,
closely pressed by the Confederates.
Reaching the river, it was found that
the small boat had disappeared al1
the scOw swamped on the second at
tempt to use it. There was then 10
alternative but to swim or surrender,
and the flying Federals chose the for
mer, and, throwing their guns into the
river, quickly dispersed, some going up
and down the bank, some getting
astride of logs in the river, while
others sought to cross to Harrisop
island by swimming. In this attempt
many were shot by the Confederates,
and more were drowned. The five
pieces Of artillery were tumbled down
the bank, but were captured by the
enemy, together with some cases Of am
munitiOn. Out of the total Federal
force engaged scarcely 900 returned
to camp, half the missing having BEEN
taken prisoners ON the river bank.
The Confederates, who were command
ed by Gen. Evans, placed their loss at
155. While these events were taking
place, Gen. Stone was preparing to
cross at Edwards ferry, but desisted
on hearing the news of the death Of
Of his command. Orders were then re-
ceived from Gen. Mcclellan to hold the
island and Virginia shores at Edwards
ferry at all hazards. Gen. German
then proceeded to strengthen his pos
ton, and reinforcements were sent for
ward, until there were 1000 infantry,
with Ricketts, battery and detaCh-
ment Of cavalry, on the Virginia shore,
behind 500 feet of intrenchments. For
some reason there was a change Of
program and the whole force return ID
to the Maryland shore.
The main causes Of this disaster to
the Federal arms were badly-chOsen
place to cross, insufficient means of
transportation, and want Of definite
object in venturing into a position
where retreat was nearly impossible,
without positive knowledge of the
strength of the enemy to be contended
with.
The Confederates extended their bat
teries down the Potomac, the success at
Balls Bluff having caused a great In
crease of activity among them, as well
as among sympathiZers in and about
Washington, and for this reason on
the 23d of October, 1861, the President
of the United States suspended the
writ of habeas corpus in the District
of Columbia. COLONEL c."

MANY PROOFS OF IMMORTALITY.

By Rev. Junius 2. Renensnyder.
Who hath abolished death and hath
brought life and Immortality TO light.
II. Tim. ! 10.
The two greatest facts that confront
man are life and death. IN nature they
appear as an alternate series. The life
and beauty Of spring are succeeded
by the fading and death of winter.
But this white sepulchre only proves
a fostering cradle III which worn-out
nature is resuscitated into all the
charm and vigor of new life, and In
this alternate series the process goes
on forever. Nature. then, does not
die. but is invested with Immortality.
Mans death, contrariwise, is shroud-
ed In mystery No mortal man can
follow the spirits trackless path.
Are there, then, any means by which
we can get light on this great question
of Immortality? Are there reasonable

the top of this post and pinned by
means of long rod, or, as we might
say, king bolt. The sweep is necessarily
large at one end and small at the
other, which makes it possible to bal
ance with one end comparatively short
and the other long. The bull is tied
to the rope attached to the further
end Of the long arm, and in that way
can have a large circle to move in.
The supporting post should be above
the ground high enough to carry the
sweep above the bull. For a time the
bull may attempt to free himself, but
If the post and sweep are made prop
erly and securely there will be no dan
ger and he will soon settle down to
exercising in a much better manner.
