Gunaen, arrived in Montreal on Friday after a most eventful voy- age, The Norwegian left Glasgow on October 27, and by the 1st Inst, had ar- rived to within 580 miles of Belle Isle. On the great circle traok between In- ishtrahali and Belle Isle she sighted a ship flying the signal "Ilia," mean- ing that immediate assistance was re- quired. The Norwegian approached and found the ship to be the Maylands, of West Hartlepool, Eng., and as she pass- ed within hail the disabled ship report- ed that a few hours previous she had brokn her main shaft, and desired. to bo taken in tow. The Norwegian ask- ed if she would go to St. John's,and the reply being in the affirmative, the tow ropes were prepared, and the boats low- ered in order to run the lines between the two ships. The sea was rough, and the the breeze fresh, as the attempt was made, but the Norwegian's tow line was evenutally made fast to the haws - ser of the May/ands, and by 0.30 the order was given to GO SLOW AHF.,AD. About midnight the wind seemed to die away for a time, but shortly after- wards a blow came on, and about 1.12 in the morning the hawser on board the Maylands parted, the strain upon it having heen too great. On account of the darkness and the condition of the sea, it was useless to attempt to remedy matters, so the Norwegian ian laybY till morning.As soon as daylight arrived the crew set to work, andgbp noon the hawser of the Norwegian had been securely fastened to the anchor cable of the Maylands, about 80 fath- oms of which had been paid out. "Slow ahead," was then given, and the gala moderating, as the afternoon grew on this speed was increased till the ships wore going ahead at a good half speed. In this manner they proceeded till about noon the following day, the 3rd, when the strength of the wind and the roughness of the sea compelled the Norwegian again to reduce speed. An midnight approached the weather for- tunately subsided considerably, and just as the officers were congratulating themselves, another change took place, and in a few minutes a moderato gale was blowing. By four o'clock in the morning this had been increased to a whole gale, while squalls of great vio- lence, and thick, blinding showers swept over the decks, obscuring at times the Maylands' lights.

What happened is not known, but it is thought that the cable broke or was drawn( bodily out of the Maylands. Owing to the seas striking the Norwegian under the quarter, and to the ninety fathoms of her five -inch steal wire hanging over her stern, wihh probably the whole of the Maylands' cable added to that, and the danger of getting it twisted around the propel- ler, the Norwegian was unable to re- verse her engines and back up, and by the time she had steamed round ahead( the Maylands could no longer be found. All day violent galea and frequent squalls of hurricane force were encountered, and all day the Norwegian continued her search.Dark- ness set in, and no signs of the May - lands having been seen, the searchwas reluctantly abandoned. and the course laid for Belle Isle.

This lesson, down to verse 7 is part of a series of exhortal:ions, which begin 1 Toter ', 11, with refer- ence to Christian behavior, toward the heathen world, It should be studied in connection with the entire series. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suf- fered for as in the flesh. For us," is emitted from too of the oldest manu- scripts, and the famous Sinaitie, manu- eeript reads " fop you," But in either case the substnntiatl meaning is the sirnae. The sufferings of Jesus " the Messiah," especially his death, have been (sited iu the previous chapter. Isere they ere presented as an example to his followers, that they may entirely separate themselves from ungodly sur- roundings. Christ's sufferings in the flesh were, "for sins—a just person for unjust persons—(hat he might bring us to God." 1 Peter 3. 18. Arent yourselves likewise with the same mind. As e soldier (ruts on armor for defense in battle do you arm yourselves with his resolution—for that is what " mind " here means. The re- ference is to "suffering in the flesh;' he was "minded," or resolved, thus to suffer; so should you be "mind- ed." l'or, Because. Flare comes the reason for the command, "Arm- your- selves." You will need this protection because—Ha that hath suffered in the flesh bath ceased from sin.

IIe is; rather, teach- ing a doctrine that Paul taught by an equally difficult phrase, "Mortify, that is, kill, the deeds of the body." The life of the ancient, unchristian world was—even more manifestly than the lives of worldings now—sensual and fleshy. Tho religions and the philoso- phies of the heathen were "carnal." Always before there can be "life to righteousness" there must be "death to sin." And so gross and foul was ordi- nary life in those days that when a man became a Christian he had to break with. nearly every association of business, friendship, home, and tem- ple. This could not be without acute suffering; and the suffering is called "inthe flesh," By woo' of contrast to those "sufferings In the spirit" which self -he denial( of the fleshly life ended The an entire freedom from sin. "The suf- fering in the flesh, and the being made to cease from sin are commensurate id their progress."—Alford.

What the "lusts" are is shown inethe next verse. Their indulgence was the ordinary rule of life in the ancient pagan world. It is far more generally the rule of our unchristian fellow -citizens than we in our respectable self-satisfaction care to acknowledge. But our rule is to ba that will il.lill of we aril to live out the od, and gest t of our Lime in the flesh—our lifetime. 3 For the time past of aux lifomay suffice us to terve wrought out. "Sure- ly sufficient: is Che fast time to have wrought out.'; As if, says Alford, the course of evil is closed and done, and looked hack 011 as a standing and ac- complished fact.

The statement of the youth who is now in jail, is to the effect that im- mediately prior to the shooting he had observed his sister talking to Jones, with whom his father had forbidden association, when he saw Dr. Guinan approaching. Believing treble too bo inevitable when the two men should meet, the boy procured a Winchester rifle and stationed himself at awin- dow for the purpose, as he says, of protecting his father, Upon encountering Jones, Dr. Guin- an said: "This is the last time I shall ever warn you against keeping comp- any with my daughter." Jones jeered at the doctor in comment, upon his warning, and slipped his hand into his right pocket. Julian states that, having often heard his father threaten, to trill Janes, and having been informed that the District Attorney always carried a revolver which be believed., from Jones' motion, rues about to be drawn, the boy fired at Jones in anticipation of an attack upon his father.
