In Clerbune, Texas, Mrs. has been excommunicated from the| Adventist Church, on the ground that she was possessed of a devil. It was her custom, after coming out of a trance, to relate what she claimed to have seen going on among the communicants, At Conway, in Wales, there is a monument erected in the church to the memory of adead worthy, Alderman } Maylis Whoops. His epitaph consists of the following sentence:—*He was the father of twenty-seven children, and was the forty-first child of his father,” During a thunderstorm in Milford township Pa., two girls, Ella Maloy and Lizzie Harris, took refuge ina spring- house. Lightning struck the house and both girls were knocked senseless, When they recovered it was found that the electric fluid had singed Miss Maloy’s eye-brows and ‘“‘banged” her hair as nicely as though it had been done with a pair of scissors. The following appears as an advertisement in a London paper :—‘‘A lady wishes to recommend another lady who, through no fault of her own, has become in distressed circumstances, thinking that if 1,000 benevolent persons were each to subscribe £10 it would place her again in affluent circumstances. The request is so modest that surely more than 1,000 will hasten to contribute £10 to assist the dear distressed. A carious accident is reported in the London papers.

But he was a boor of low perceptions,and his enor- mous cranium was looked upon as no curiosity by his fellows. The largest heads of Europe, are among the Lapps, Norwegians,Sweedes, and Finns. They decrease in magnitude as one goes south towards Sicily. Some great men, it is true, have had massive pates; but, on the other hand, sundry large-minded small heads.
