A GENEROUS BEQUES1. - The
hospital here recently Dratted by the
generosity Of one of its inmates, who,
though he did not recover fromhie ill-
ness, showed his appreciation ofthe
care and treatment he received there
by leaving property to the value Of
-over $1000 for the benefit of the hos-
pital. This was very considerate, and
will enable the hospital to carry on
more successfully ths work of minister-
ing to those who suffer. -
-METHODICAL.-It is not unciera--
mon for some people to keepa diary

but it is a rare thing for a person to
keep one for over 30 years, without

been what is known as a "catchy" time

caused a great deal of it to sprout.

to be used for coarse feed and other

the same way. We have heard of ane.'
