Its Annual Effoots on ti Soy Who was Bitten Four years Ago. Philadelphia lterald, On Aug. 29, 1883, a 5 -year old _ sou_of George Putuam, who lives at Stony Fwd,, Pa., was returning, ]torte from driving rho cows to pas- ture, and stopped • by the roadside to pick some berries. He was bare- footed, and suddenly felt a sharp sting on the instep of his lett foot. He ran crying home; rind told his mother that he had scratched his foot on a briar. The foot had be- gun to swell, and his mother picked from the flesh what she at first sup- posed to be a briar, but, as the foot continued to .swell and the boy's _.____-s.trfferin'g,s'-- rere-intonse•,-the-a4•tu9 t- ing fact was apparent that ho had bitten by some poisonous snake, and that the supposed briar was ono of its fangs that had. buried itself in the wound and. been pulled from the snake's jaw, Mrs. Putman called her husband, who was at work near the house, and alarmed other members of the faintly. Alive chicken was cut in two and the waren flesh applied to the wound. Whiskey was given to the boy iu large quantities, and a Messenger was despatched for a doctor. A member of the family went to the spot where the 'boy said he had. felt.the sharp sting, awl found a.rattiesnako oiled near tho roadside. Tho snake was killed, and one of its fangs was found to bo hissing, which telt no doubt of the nature of th'e boy's injury. The snake was cut open and laid ou the wound in the boy's foot, wliieh had swelled to more than double its natural size. Tho sufferings of the boy worn so great that he could scarcely bo held down iu the bed by two men. The doctor arrived and cauterised the wound, and said it was too late, and that the boy would die. The swelling had extended up the leg as far as the waist, and the leg became spotted. Antidotes pro- scribed by the doctor were adminis- tered, but the whiskey treatment was alio adhered to. The boy's body turned black, bat alter three ,bays of the most terrible agony the swelling began to, go down, and in a wook the victim was able to go about. In a month's time all the efforts of the poison seemed to have disappeared, and the boy was as wall as ever. Ou the 29th of August, 1884, he was seized with a sharp pain in his foot, whieh beganto swell, and in a short time his leo and foot wore swollen to double their size and spotted, as they had on the day the boy was bitten by the snake. He experienced the aamo synlptons, and suffered for three days almost as much agony as he had the year bo - fore. When the etvelling again front down the pain subsided and the symptoms disappeared.

The following letter which has al- ready appeared in• the Wingham Advance has been sunt us for publi- cation. It will be quite timely as we gave Father Chiniquy on the other side a couple of weeks ago. Editor News -Record. The scriptures, instead of con- demning, highly commend single life or celibacy. In his sermon, my rev. opponent, Rev. Mr. Cooke, Methoniat minister, Bluovale quotes a few texts of scripture, but none of theta refer to the subject directly or indirectly. It was cus- tomary for pious women to minister to the apostles, as they did to our Saviour on his jour- neys. There seems to be no valid reason for excluding the women who were abandoned by their husbands to. follow Christ. King James' version of the Bible substitutes the word wife for wo man, thus indicating that St. Paul was married, although it is evident from I Cor. VII, 7.8, that he was unmarried. Of the apostles the scripture mentions only St. Peter as being married when, called to the apostleship, although others of them may have been married. It is the probable opinion that those lived apart from their wives, for St. Peter tells us that they "left nil things" to follow Christ ; and our Savior mentions wife among the things that aro left. "And every one that troth left house, or breth- ren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife; or children, or lands for my , name's sake, . shall receive a hundred fold, and shall possess life everlasting." Matt. XIX, 29. Thepriest leaves all and gives him- self up uureserved'ly to follow Christ. Although it was often difficult in the first stages of Christianity to got a sufficient num- ber of candidates forthe.. ministry:.,. who led single lives, yet the church never allowed Rion to enter the priesthood who had been married more than once. This law has al- ways been strictly observed. It is founded on the words of St. Paul where he • tells Timothy that • a bishop is to bo the husband of one uwife,_which.means if he is married a second time ho cannot be a bishop. The apostle was a bishop himself, but an unmarried man. The scriptures do not require a candidate for the ministry to be married in order to bo a minister or a bishop My rev, opponent mentions Peter's wife's. The Catholic church has never denied that Peter was married before' he was .called to the apostleship. Tho Church in all 'ages has' admitted men into the priesthood who had been married, and even those who had wives when admitted, but she has always taught that it is never allowed for priests to marry after ordination. My. rev. opponent tells us that "Catholics do not be= lieve in the clergy marrying," This is true, they do not. Contrary to this wish, however, the Church al- lows the priests in the Greek Church, who- were married -before ordination, to live with their wives.. his may be said to bo a1 excopt- n to the .general law of the hutch. Protestants caunot cou- stently attack us, for many of eel are unmarried, and some ever intend to marry. If minis• rs condemn_priests for leading ad lives because unmarried, they ndetnu ministers of their own rofession who 'lead single lives, ey condemn their own sons and lighters, and every unmarried ring man and women in the corn - unity, and they maiigu S. John o Baptist who 1 �1 a life of roinity, end who, as scripture Is us, was a prophet and more RD a prophet; Protestants refer th pride to Elizabeth as the "vir-' r queen" of England. If it is 'ons to lead a single life, what out Protestant sisterhoods that join celibacy ? Christ led such a e, and so did his intimate and owed disciple St. John. Priests e Christ for their model, and in ing so hold up to the world a ght example of self abnegation, d a religion that can conquer h and blood. No ono is forced be a priest, and consequently he o enters the priesthood freely d knowingly takes upon himself obligations of that atate.

Celibacy is not a modem innovation as some would wish to maintain. In the third century Origeu G. C. writes thus : "It is certain that the unceasing sacrifice is impeded by those who serve the necessities of wedlock, wherefore it appears to mo that it belongs to hint alone to offer the unceasiug sacrifice, who has devoted himself to an unceasing , and perpetual chastity." Horn, XXIII, is Num- er. n. 3, p. 358. "Him that is living in wedlock and begetting children, oven though the husband of oue wifo, the holy Church of God dons not receive as deacon, priest, or bishop, but hint only who refrains from that one wife, or is a widower; and thie especially where the canons of the Church aro strictly observed." Epiphanies Haer.. 58, p 496. The Council of Elvira, held in the year 305, enjoins celibacy upon bishops and prioste under penalty of interdict or suspension from their functions. The Council of Noo •Caesarea, A. D. 314, speaks in the same inauuer. "If .a priest marry let him bo removed from his order." St. Paul recommends coli- bacy. "I say to the unmarried and to the widows ; it is good for theta if they so continue, even as I." 1 Cor. VII, 8. "Ile that giveth his virgin in marriage duth well, and ho that giveth her not (loth better 1 Cor. VII, 38. "He that is with- out a wife is solicitous for the hinge that belong to the Lord, tow ho may please God. But ho hat is with a wife is solicitous for ho things of the world, how lie may please his wife, and he is di- ided." 1 Cor. VII, 32-33. The riest, who must be undivided in is service to the Lord, and must erve him without impediment, as chosen to follow the counsel of t. Paul and the example of hrist. In the old law, the Jewish riests when offering the sacrifices f animals in the temple wore cont- ended om ended to keep apart from their wives. David and his friend ere not allowed to eat the bread of reposition till they docleared they ad refrained from women for hreo days. 1 Kings XXI.

The horns or antlers weigh about 150 pounds and meas. urs from--ext.--a---fraction' uuder six feet. They were sent by Fred. Merigold, Esq., of Battleford, N,W.'T., to Mr. McClenoghan, our, postmaster, as a recognition of old acquaintance and as somothing by which the people of Woodstock, might estimate the proportions of the game procurable along the banks of the Peace River. The horns were secured in this manner : Starting on a hunting expedition with a friend and an Indian for a guide, Mr. Merigold passed north for several days without meeting with the game for which he was in quest. On the afternoon of the seventh day intimation was given by the Indian guide that moose or elk might be encountered, and the sportsnteu were admonished to be specially careful and to avoid all movements likely to result in noise, these animals having a marvellous power of discerning unusual sounds. The wind at this time was unfavor- able because blowing in the dircc- tieu of the suspected sport. The wind went down toward sun- set, and what little there was passed from north to aouth. This was an indication that "much pleased our guide," says Mr. Merigold. The party was uow told to take up posi- tion sheltered by some small bushes that skirted the stream. In this security all passed tho greater por- tion of au hour, when the guide gave the signal of approaching game. Ou came a small herd of moose, led by the monster whose horns are the subject of this notice. Tho suspense and the emotion called up by the prospect of such huge gan►o was too much for Mr. S., and ho started the herd by a sudden but subdued cough. With that presence of mind that distinguishes Mr. M., he felt the instant was upon him and he fired away for the heart of the leader. The shot took effect, but the mon- ster was too gauze to surrender to the force of n Martini -Henry bullet. and he followed the herd on its retreat. Counselled by the Indian to follow the trail, the party started, separating themselves, yet keeping as they thought within speaking, distance. It so happened that Mr. Merigold taking the south side of a bluff or elevation came upon the object of his. search. Shouting to his companions he drew his knife, intending to cud 'the struggle of life and death with his ganto. With a snort like that of a fright- ened horse, the animal sprang to his foot, with strength, as it were renewed, and at a hound assailed his persecutor. fortunately the Indian cane up at the instant, as far as. the life of \[r. Merigold was aoucerned, but not so in 'the case of the child of the forest. 'Ilisattompt on the life of the bleeding beast was followed by a plunge of .the moose upon his assailaut—and the knife- like sharpness of the beasts hoof disemboweled the guide. `Then it was that Mr. Merigold essayed to hazard the chances. IIo dexterously plunged his knife into the throat of the animal', but failing to extract it, was lifted by the great brute and tossed, as it wore, in the air. Seiz- ing iu his solei -conscious state the projection of the horn, Mr. M. held his position, which ono can readily imagine was like that of a child in the domestic cot; for the antlers, concave as they aro, and the back of the moose constituted a couch not unlike a hammock, and he was borue by the animal several miles into the interior, adistance far from his companion, Mr. 8. i�'iglit carne on and Mr. M. had for his compan- ion the expiring moose. Tho morn- ing dawned and revealed the fact that solitude under, such circum- stances had uo charms. Mr, S,, who was not ignorant of pioneer' life, contented himself with waiting Tor the first rays of the rising sun, and when ho cast his eyes around the horizon he was gratified to no- tice the concentration of those pecu- liar birds that in an unaccountable way detect the presence of carrion. Guided by these indications, \Ir. S. started to discover his friend, and about rhino in the evening came upon Mr. Metigold and his prize. Tho rest of the story is easily told. Marking the spot, and aftera hearty breakfast off the moose the two sportsmen made their way to the river, and thence to the camp which they ped formed. On a subsequent excursion the. horns were taken up, and it may well bo said that the treasure thus secured and the recital will interest \Ir. Marigold's many friends in this county. It is claimed that 7,000 people at- tended the Caledonian games at Lucknow on Wednesday. Thorn was a great array of dancing talent, about 40 persons taking part in those competitions. Thorn was also a largo attendence of prominent athletes. DE. HAMMOND'S WARNING C.• t+; .Amerfoatq Wozuon?are Pre-Eutt- Hiut itt AvojdiutM izternity. 'The Maternal Inetinot Dying Out Befre Education, Refine- ment and Selfishness. New York World. 1 have often asked, Why do American wotuen avoid maternity more than do the women of other countries? 4t._ might~ be- strid with reference to this question that it is by no means certain that American women are to a greater extent that the women of other countries disposed to situ an obligation that they t,we to the human species. The sense of duty in tide respect is gradually bes cooling less inoperative with the women of all civilized countries. Very few consider it a duty at all that they should undergo suffering and 'discomfort in order that the State may have its population in, creased. Their chief regard is for themselves and their own homes, and they care little or nothing for the body politic. Tne maternal in• stinet is dying out before education and refinement and is already in great part succeeded by a factor which is nothing more that au act of the intellect by which the ad- vantages and disadvantages of ma. ternity are fully considered and by which a determination, affirrnat.ive or negative, is arrived at in accord- ance with rho circumstances govern- ing each particular ease. Fifty years ago probably not one young married couple iu a thousand thought of this subject with a view to the employment of any prevent. iv,' pleasures Now it is in many cases .calmly discussed either before or after marriage, especially when the parties are in a position of life above that of the very lowest. The indisposition to assume the cares and responsibilities of mother- hood exist to a greater or less extent throughout the whole civilized world. But I am very confident from my own personal experience as well as from the observation of many physis cians and intelligent laymen with whom I have conferred that Ameri= can women are pro -eminent among those of ail civilized nations in their anxiety to escape the obligations that the hearing and rearing of children impose. Besides it is no malt point in support of this asser- tion that it ix accepted with singu- lar unanimity by intelligeet people in all classes of the community. THE WOMEN OF OTHER NATIONS: It is true that the women of France are not far behind in this rather ignoble race, and that Eng- lish ..woinen are rapidly gaining a protninettt place- in it, but for the present at least American women lead.. Thep: are many reasons for this pre-eminence. It will be sutli.- ciout perhaps in the present connec- tion if I refer only to three which appear to me to .be of chief import- ance, . In the first place, many American women aril so educated a� to acquire the belief, that personal display, luxury, and what they call "excites meat," aro the principal considera, tions by which'they are to be actu- ated in their pursuit of happiness. It is only necessary to see them; of all ages, as they frequent the sari~ ons resorts to which they flock in the summer, and to observe their dress and manners in -order to per- ceive how fecttTe and eriroueous is their idea of the place of woman in the world. In what outer civilized countries are young git Is allowed to walk either during tit: day or till late at night, it',it so ploasOs them, with men whose acquaintance they have just made acid of whose onto- cedents they know positively uoth- iug1. It is said that Atnericati women, by being allowed such freedom, soon acquire the ability to bike care of themselves; but itis just this sense of power when they attain it which is to a great extent oue of the cir- cumstances which influence them in their antagonism •to maternity. They know that with the care of children on their hands their liber- ties would be curtailed and that their independence would in a great measure vanish, , • But to return to the summer re- sorts, whiclt must bo held to be largely responsible for the changes which within the last fifty years have taken place in the women of America. Here from a child of less than a dozen years up to the age of maturity, Ledecked iu silks and satins of gorgeous hues and often blazing with diamonds and other precious atones, they assemble night after night in the balls room to engagci in promiscuous danc- ing anceing with boys and men they have never met before. They nre sharp enough to perceive that the woman with children who may bo in the house cannot participate in the gayeties and that they receive little attention. The lesson is one that they never nnitarn. They flirt with one man after another, em- ploying wiles which excite the as• tonishinent of their elders, while the tnothers are either looking after their babies or sitting in corners feeling that a stintltlotts to attend one of them may et any moment come. The belles know Ghat only riglr men could pregidq tbetpl with the serygrtta t'equts to 'Lo *tri rad to the watts of .children but; they alsp Know that rich matt aresf, few and fttr between. Through these infiuences,und many' others that might be mentioned, an undue love for the frivolities of lifer is engendered, and when marriage• conies the bride know that with pregnancy and child -birth, and the after care of children, her giddy days would be over, and that she would sink into the burudruut exist• ecce she both hate& and feire. Byt- notwithstanding all, and though the avorders of maternity are mere numerous among American women. than among the women of other nations, the great plass of the sex, and by far its better part still hold the maternal instinct in all its ever - whelming power, anis bear and rear their otfspriug with all the fidelity that imperious nature requires.
