TbeSo!d Hunkido'ri well, on tt.o Egbert

Township, this county, was in the momor-
ablu naval battle nn Lake Erie, on board

the battle Mr. McKinney was badly wound
ed, but remained on board the vrss&l and
assisted in taking it out of action after
Terry bad left tho vessel and mndo tbe
passage iu an open boat to thu)"Niagara."
Mr. McKinney Is about eighty-five years of
age, and although In feeble health, Hill re
tains his memory Jto 'a wonderlul degree,
and delights to talk of Terry and the great
victory on. Lake Erie, of which be was one
of the heroes, and in all probability "tbe

almost as clearly as when leaving the office,
laving passed through eighteen States and
over;4,80!) -miles of wiro and tbe electric
current traversing th" distance in about
three quarters of a second. The writing
was translated as rapidly as on ordinary
short wiree. Plaister's .Cove was also in
direct connection and worked finely.
George Messer of Cincinnati loves rum so
well that be has been on a protracted drunk

once on the arm, and then fled. The wo
man is suffering and ber condition is pn-
oarious. George has not beeu beard of since
and it is barely possible tbat he has drown

left. No one is showing much solicitude
about his safety.

The met hi d of initiating a candidalo
into a Lodge ol Ciuod Templars is hut a
slight improvement upon the same pro
gramme so long in vogue by tho ancient
and honorable fraternity of the "Sons of
Malta." A chap who was taken from A

"light" without knowing that lager would
intoxicate, was put through n course of
cold water treatment by tho flood Temp

"peaches" on Templars and gives tho fol
lowing expose ol their initiation ceremony,
for which no doubt ho will be put though

wuter bath is then furnished him, alter
whici he is showered with cistern water.
He is then made to read tbe "Water Works
Act," ten ill im s, drinking u glaes of cisleru
waier between each lendiug; alter which
tbe old oaken bucket is hung i urouud his
