A man was seen coming out of a newsâ€" paper office with one eye gouged out, and his mose spread out over his face like a piece of raw beef, and one of his ears chawâ€" «1 off.

As Cooley lay on the landing, with a pile of apples and cast iron heaped upon him, Mrs. Cooley, and the boy and the He fell, and pulled the stove after him, and the next moment Cooley, a pan of apâ€" ples, and aboct ferty pieces of stove, stoveâ€" pipe, grates, and brickâ€"lining were rattling down stairs with a noise like a volley of The boy, ateantime, had gone to bed and forgotten about the string.

They revise our notions of Seripture scenes and Scripture events. When we read of the won lerful eapacity of the Holy Land for fertilization we cease to wonder at the old figurative notion of its flowing with milk and honey. When stories ars told to us of vast archiâ€" tectural ruins, of the remains of irrigating eanals, of Roman roads extending up and down the country five hundred miles, we realize that it was once, whateter it may be now, a land worth possessing and worth developing.â€"Christian Union. architecture. It may be that the evidences are notstrong enough as yet to identify these, beyond question, as the remains of Bodom and Gomorrah ; but it is obviously in that neighborhood and by such methods that their vestiges are to be sought. The determination of this fact alone would be an adequate return for all the money and pains which the society has expended. ‘ Plain. ‘The popular belief that these were submerged by the waters of the Dead Sea, he maintaining,is altogether erroneous. At a point near the northern end of the sen, where certain reâ€"built cities exactly corresâ€" pond in number and location to those that were destroyed, he caused some excavaâ€" tions to be made. Here, underlying the mud huts of the Arabs, he found three buried cities, one below the other. The upper dated back to the Roman period ; under that appeared ruins of a Hebrew character; and last of all, at a depth of about 30 to 40 feet, relies were unearthed of a still earlier epoch, and more primitive sulte.

In the face of these and other obstacles Dr. Selah Merrill has been conducting his opetations on behalf of the American sociâ€" ety, of which the Rev. Dr. R. D.
