Apeculiar thing about it, the right hind leg which was caught in the trap was minus the foot. Mr. McConnell thinks this is the same bear which carried away a trap set by him ten years ago, which trap was afterwards found in the bed of a creek in the edge of Melancthon Township with the bones of a bear’s foot in it. The bones of the leg that wss in the trap are broken and the leg hangs loosely. but it is expected that with amputation the limb will soon heal up.

On the way out Cousins met several parties who had heard the rumor,and when he got to Elmwood he found the report ahead of him. But he could get no particulars. One rumor had it that it was Chris.

CONVENTION AT PRICEVILLE. Flesherton Advance. The third annual Sabbath School convention of the township of Arte- mesia. met at Priceville on Wednes- day. 17th inst., at 2 p. m., with the President. Rev. J. S. I. Wilson, B. D., in the chair. Devotional exercis- es were led by Rev. Matthewson, of Priceville, followed by President’s address. Rev. J. Buchanan, of Dun- dalk. was urged to remain for the evening service and take charge of the question drawer, which he con- sented to do. “The Teacher’s Responsibility” was the subject of an address by Rev. A. Cook, the key note of which was the spiritual life of the teacher. Our responsibility is, 1st, To our chargeâ€"a little wrong at the begin- ning will make e fearful difference at the end ;.â€"â€"‘2nd, to bring before him the great truths of the gospel ;â€"-~3rd, Have. a gift for teachingâ€"difierent natures require different treatment; -â€"4th, Have power, brought. forth through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Among some of the forces which tend to make us forget our re- sponsibility the speaker placed the following: We look upon our work as routine. or we become mdifierent to our own Spiritual life. He gave as the remedy, a deeper spiritual life, and saidhthe most successful teacher is the one who lives nearest the Godhead. The subject of the address given by Rev. J. Hunter, of Markdale, was. “ How to Conserve the Results of Sabbath School Teaching.” We give four points which were ably enlarged â€"3-._LL ‘V‘.‘ VVI-vâ€" v- â€"_- by the speaker. - By not loeing sieght of the children after leaving school ; do it. by personal work; bring them to the point of deciding for Christ, and by not. forgetting them in after life.

White on “ The Church’s Respon- sibility ” to the Sabbath School along the line of prOper buildings. ventila- tion, heating, lighting. and their temporal needs. He also referred to the church’s responsibility in provid- ing necessary rooms for glasses: Rev. -w- "VVâ€"‘vwâ€" F. W. Varley followed by taking up the church’s responsibility as the parent of the Sabbath School. The Sabbath School was the progeny of the church, and as such it should be given the spiritual teaching and training given by a parent to a child. The church is reaponsible to a great extent for the spiritual life of the? Sabbath School. Rev. Jas. Buchanan also joined in the discussion and re- ferred to the Bible. The Word of God being one thing that makes men and women strong, and therefore we should get the boys and girls to love the Bible and if they do so they are not likely to go far astray. He also touched on the first Sabbath School in in the old testament times, that spok- en of in Neh. 8. Here we have the teachers giving the people the word of the Law or the word of God. The Sabbath School was one of the places where men and women could study the word of God and he urged that the church should form part of the Sabbath School. 'â€" â€"-'â€" Rev. J. S. I. Wilson took the sub- ject, “The Sunday School and the Temperance Problem.” The import- ant thought in this discourse was that of the boys and girls taking the place of those men and women who fall in the ranks of the throng of drunkards. “The men in positions of trust, in the office. in the store, on the farm, in the pulpit, and in the shop. will soon die, and who will take their places?” “Us boys,” comes the answer. " The saloonkeeper, thel hotelkeeper, the drunkard, the brew- er. the poor wretches tramping all over the country with their bleared faces and wretched rags, and the criminal will soon die and who will take their places ?” “Us boys." comes the prompt reply. Every time ‘ a drunkard drops out of the ranks to 'his doom a boy steps up to fill the i gap and we must save the boys. The Sunday School is the most efficient Eworker in this and we must rouse ! ourselves to our reSponsibility. The {only efficient way is to wipe the in- iquitous curse clean out, no half ; measure will do. The collection and questions were then taken up, and Rev. J. Buchanan. of Du‘ndalk, was called on to answer the questions. Mr. Buchanan is a man of wide experience and is thor- oughly capable of handling the ques- tion drawer. He had some very difficult questions along sound exper- imental lines. and all were answered practically and to the point. The meeting was then brought to a close by the doxology and benediction.

It is a curious tact and one scarcely known outside of Russia. and there hardly ever mentioned. that the fa- mous Orlofl diamond was once the right eye of the great idol Serringham in the temue of Brahma. This pre- cious gem was stolen at about the be- ginning of the eighteenth century by a French soldier who had made a pre- tense of being converted to the Hindoo religion in order to gain the confidence of the priests and admission to the temple. The Frenchman first sold the diamond for £2,000. On the next turn it was bought by a banker of Constan- tinople for £12,000. The banker kept it until 1774 and then sold it to the Rus- sian empress for £90,000 and a life pen- sion. The gem has been in the Russian royal family ever since. As it is now set in the imperial scepter of Russia it presents a flattened. rose cut surface and weighs exactly 194% carats. Vanity Tickled. During the early excesses of the French revolution a rabble of men and women were rioting in the streets of Paris. Lafayette appeared and ordered a young artillery officer to open fire upon them with two cannon. The of- flcer begged the general to let him try first to persuade them to withdraw. “It is useless to appeal to their rea- son," said the general. “Certainly," answered the oflicer, “and it is not to their reason, but to their vanity, I would appeal.” vâ€"vâ€" The ofilcer rode up to the front of the mob, dotted his cocked hat. pointed to the guns and said: vi‘t‘é'entlemen will have the kindness to retire, for I am ordered to shoot down the rabble.” “The street was cleared at once, for none could brook the idea of being classed with the scum of the city. Why He Wasn't Impressed. The following story is told of a car- rulous victim of the J ohnstown flood of 1889, who when he reached paradise ascended a cloud that served within the pearly gates as a rostrum and un- dertook to thrill his new made ac- quaintances among the shades with an account of the disaster through which he had passed. He was interrupted by a gray bearded old man in the group. “A mere bucketfuiâ€"a mere bucketfuli" the old fellow piped. “Don’t waste so much time talking of a small affair like that!” The Johnstown man resented this and hunted up St. Peter. of whom he asked, “Who is that old codger who seems to think our flood such a trifling matter?" “That?" said St. Peter. “Why. that’l Noah!" A Church In Wales. Wrexham parish church is known as one of the seven wonders of Wales. It dates as a structure from the fifteenth century and is cathedral-like in its pro- portions. A “chained" Bible, now kept under lock and key, is among the curi- ous relics, and beside it is a handsome. ly bound “visitors’ book," sent by the students of Yale university, United States, for the use of Yale students vis- iting the church. In the churchyard is the tombstone of Elihu Yale, with its quaint epitaph.
