FERDT7iAND 31eINTOS0,. in Armenia,
says the Troy gazette, one day last week
met with a sad and serious accident.
While at work in the new steam saw mill
of L. G. VANFlonx, he fell in such a way
as to bring his left hand in Contact with
a circular saw in such a manner as to cut
his band nearly off, the saw cutting it di
agonally across the root of the .thumb to
the janction of the third finger. Dr. E.
G. TRACY was called, and it was suppos
ed for a time - that a portion of the hand
might be saved, but erysipelas, setting in,
the hand. had to be amputated at the
wrist.

unite in pronouncing the meeting a de

also delivered a short address on the same
subject, which was listened to with the
closest attention. The Advertiser says :
"There were many other speakers at
the meeting besides those notedpbut they
were mainly of the class that seeks to
gain information rather than to impart it,
so their remarks were confined priricipal.:
ly to questions for which General LeDuc
was the convenient target a full hour or
more, preserving meanwhile admirable
temper and • occasionally , enlivening the
moment by characteristic humor. • With
his address and answenng questions he
was kept on the floor More" than • two
hours, during which there was not a dull
moment. It may be said he is an enthu

The closing hour of the meeting was
signalized by very spirited discussions of
the appointed question, in which there
was very earnest determination to ask of
the general government more complete
recognition of agriculture. A resolution
favoring the establishMent of a full de
partment of agriculture with a cabinet of
flcer at its head, had enttusi do approv

—The Rev. E. P. litawmoin has been
conducting revival services, in Bt. Catha
rines, Canada, for the past three weeks.
Of these meetings, and the work of the
'Evangelist, the Toronto Globe says : •
"He has met with marked and unex
ampled success. Over six hundred per
sons have been examined and given. in
their names, professing to have experi
enced a change of heart. Services have
-been held during-the whole time of the
revival in all the, churches continuously
and almost siMultaneously. Meetings
have also been held in the drill abed, in
the market place, and in the police office.
St. Paul-street IMettiodist Church, the
largest in the city, and capable of bolding
1,600 persons, has been tilled to its utmost
capacity every night, and crowds were_
finable to gain admission. The Baptists,
Presbyterians, and Methodists , are work- -
ing in the utmost hartnony together. So
great has beei the awakening
.that not
only are the people aroused In' the city,
but large numbers flock in from the stir
rounding country, all anxious and eager
to bear and listen to the great revival
liteacher.. The work has been predictive
of ; grftt good to many young men. Old
hardened sinners who hardly ever uttered
prayer, have succumbed, and tearfully
told their experience, and given evidence
of their desire to lead Christian live*.
The work does not seem to be very emo
tional, but some deep mysterious poem is
moving the people. Although. the work
has been going on for three weeks there is
not a particle of abatement in the interest;
Nothing in the history of St. Catharines
ever: Caused such, a universal feeling
among the people. It is a great religious .
awakening. Deputations have come in

asking for Mr. Hammond's help. tr

Vinson is a Canadian who makes
almanacs that have forecastingi of the
waterier sack' month. Be has &tight
,
ed more or less prominence Of late years
from the feet that in a number_ of in
stances he has hit the mark precisely..
llis prediction for February was as fol
lows, arid tts the first pert has falba so
socurately, l it may be a matter of enmity
to see how the whole mouth fills out:
" One of the hesviest snowfalls of the
winter is likely to come -upon us on the
Ed or 8d of February, and occasion deep
drills and railroad blockades— Following
this immediately, a cold snap will set in
of oonaiderable severity, lasting some four
or more days. Next will come a period
of mildness, even warmth. 'with rain and
slush, up to about the 15th or 166. The
16th will g ive us the second betty's snow
fall of the tnontb, with drifts again, and
another railroad blockade. Between the
20th and 25th the second cold term will
probably set In, and this bids fair to be
very severe, and occasion some very low
thermometer readings. Thus, with the
exception of one considerable thaw this
month. February will be an exceedingly
wintry month. The 17th teed 21st of
March will again give heavy snow thlls,
and it is ptobable that in this month we
will have more snow than at any time
1 previous during the winter of ,1880."

ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE.
On'the morning of the 31st alt, there
passed away, quietly out of the ranks of
earth, Comrade Joust IL LILLET, aged 34
years, and a son of EBEN DIZZY, one of the
widest known and most respected citizens
f i
o Leßoy township. Comrade LILLIIR,
while a soldier in the 2nd Pa. Heavy Ar
tillery, nerving in the trenches before Pet
ersburg, was captured, during a sortie,
and became for over five months, one of
the occupants of the Rebel prisons at•Sal
isbutlr, N. C. One of ten thousand4ho
went in there wind men, of whom only
five thousand ever came out alive. , Com
rade LILL" was when captured a robust
man weighing 190 i pounds. When he
reached home, after being exchanged, he
weighed less than 90 pounds. From the
disease thus produced ho never fully re.
hovered. With shattered constitution be
lingered on, often suffering severely, bear
ing it patiently, and as a result of his im
prisonthent passed away into the 'higher
life, at a time which should have been the
full beauty and strength of manhood.
He waione a l ibi most active Odd Fel
lows in his neighborhood ; loving the prin
ciples taught •bi the • order, and living
them out in his life. Canton Lodge No.
321—and Leßoy Lodge No. 843, of which
ho was a Charter menber, attended the
funeral in full ranks, as did also Ingham
'Post, No. 91, G. A. R. The services were
held in the " Disciples Church at Alba.
(Rev. Mr. HEYWARD'S) who, with Rev.
Mr. WELLEs of Canton, and Rev. Mr;
Bum. of Leßoy, united with Rev. Dr.
e r /LIMON of Towanda, in the services.
The address was delivered by the latter
gentleman, and was an eloquent and
glowing tribute to the worth of the deceas
ed, as well as an earnest appeal for the ap
plication of the lessons afforded in the
occasion. •
The large audience, numbering proba
bly 400, filled the Church to overflowing,
and was in itself, the highest tribute that
could be paid to our comrade's memory.
He leaves a widow and two children to
mourn his loss, and to learn in loneliness
and sorrow, what it means for "Father
to hive' been a Soldier"

assure you that the " Alliance " he rep- -
resents will commend itself to every tem

ganization we havei been wishing and
waiting for . these years, and I hope yon
and : the friends of temperance in your
county will avail yourselves of the oppor
tunity you will have to acquaint your
selves with the working's of this young,
society. It is open, easy of comprehen

As to Protestor MOFFAT himself, I may
say, be is neither a "tramp" nor a
" quack "as you will discover. lie is a
Scotchman and a natural orator, which
added to his vast fund of information,
hisihod sense, and. native wit, makes
him ighly instructive, pleasing and pro
fitable. Those who hear him once will
not fail
-to heir him again and again; if it
is possible for them to de so. The " Al

resent it. ,1
Professor BrOFFAT also gives A lecture
on " RonzaT)Bunxs, and the Lessons and
Influence of His Song," which is a literary
treat and better than medicine to the

I know it will snit you and him. -
Very truly yours,
