EDITOR PLAINDKALCR:--Quite a sad accident occiirred here on the 13th in«t causing tlie death of one of the little sous of James Dowell, about eight years old. Tin) Bacon's son obtained a re­ volver. and with the Dowell boys, were ont shooting at random, and finally young Baeon fired a ball Into the bowels of young Dowell that caused the boy's death ou the 15th. All that surgical skill could do was of no avail. Much sympathy was manifested over tlds sad aflair. The funeral services were held here in the llethodlst church on the 17tli. Mrs. Marble, widow of the late Solomon Marble, died In the town of Avon at tlie residence of her daughter* Mrs. Heuson. on the 18th Inst. The funeral services were held at the house. She was buried in tlie Marble ccmsttry. A Heal NEC«*«LTJ^ Ws presume there is hardly a lady to be found in our broad land who, if she does not already possess a sewing ma­ chine. expects some day to become the owner of one. But after the mind has been fuHy mado up to purchase one of these In­ dispensable articles, the question arises as to what kind of a machine to buy. It should be so simply constructed that the most inexperienced can suc­ cessfully operate It. The other points mainly to be considered and which are the most deslr&hl*, are durability, rapidity, capacity for work, ease ot operation, regularity of motion, iini* 1 fortuity of tension, and silence wiiile in operation. Tlie Llght*Riuiniug New Home Alls the above requirement*, and is said to com bin* the good points of all sewing inacliiue*, with the addition of many new Improvements aud labor-saving devices.

"Consummation^* the age.* The re­ vised rendering spoils the argument Tor a literal ending of the world, drawn from t|iis passage. Verse 29,"Immedi­ ately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun he darkend," shows that no distant events are meant. In verse 30. "Then." alluding to verse 20. Srtiall appear the sign of the Son of Man In Heaven." In Matthew 16:28. It says, "There be some standing here who shall not taste of d«'ath till they see the Son of Man coining In ilis king­ dom." Tills proves that th« Son of Mnu may bo seen coming without ref* ere nee-to-a personal coming. "AH tribes of the earth (or land) shall : mourn."--Verse 21. "Then "shall be great tribulation, such as was r.ot since tlie beginning of the world to this time. no. nor ever shall be."--Mat­ thew 8:12. "The children of the king­ dom shall be cast Into outer darkness and there shall be weeping and gnash­ ing of teeth."--Luke 23;27. '"Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not lor me. but weep lor yourselves and your children," referring to tlie fall of Jerusalem. Then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the cloud* of- heaven." Not in personality or the final judgment, for in verse 14, "There was given Him dominion and glory an 1 a king.'omV' Isaiah 19:1 --"4Tlie Lord rldeth upon a swift cloud and shall come into Egypt." Psalms 1 -3.--"Tlie Lord hath h!s way In the whirl wind, and the storm and clouds are the dust of his feet." -The preceding passages cannot be taken literally, and show that the 30th verse in Matthew need not refer to a per­ sonal coming.
