been in that position, but the room was
filled with the odor of burning flesh, and a
neighbor was of the opinion that her face
had been on the stove more than an

band's arrival. She was placed in bed and
Dr. J. W. Maxwell was i'eummoned to
attend her, but no one entertained the
slightest, belief that she would ever speak'
again. The doctor found that all the flesh
en the left aide of her face, the ear and the
scalp to the Op of her head was cooked into
a crisp and was ready,ot the least touch to
amp off. She remained unconscious until
the next - day, when she tallied, but was
delirious for nearly a week.Healing

complained of but little' pain. She seemed
in a fair way to recover until erysipelas set

thought to be at the'point of death.
The latter affliction yielded, however; to
the proper treatment, and was checked
before it reached all parte of the burn.

The ceremony was completed and the
happy 'hoopla stood in the parlor receiving
the congratulations of friends, a large party
of whom were present enjoying themselves
in the dastomary manner. During the

healtift for sometime past, stepped forward'
for the last time tri bid his daughter and

• A NOTED SCOTCH DIVINE DEAD;

A cablegram from London says: John

divine of the Sootoh-Ohureh, is dead. Ile
was born in Aberdeenshire, of a Highland
family, Nov. 10th, 1810, and at the time ot
his death was in his 71st year. Dr. Cunt*
ming came to London in 1888. On the plat-
form he was distinguished for his decided
and untiring opposition to the &atrium of
theiaatholio Church. Dr.Curnming preached
before Her Majesty, at Balmoral, a germon
afterwards published under the title' of
"Salvation." Among his beat known works
are, " Apocalyptic Sketches," "Daily Life,"
and "Voices of the Night." Dr. Cumming
published "The Great Tribulation," a
volume of upwards of 500 pages, treating
of the prophetio decieriptions of the coming
of Christ and the end of this dispensation,
tehloh has had a large sale; a companion
volume, in 1801, called "Redemption
Draweth Nigh" and "Tho Destiny of
Nations; or, the Future of Europe as
Delineated by the Bible." In these works
great events were predicted for 1808, and
in his _work, "The Seventh Vial,",,,pub-
belied in November, 1870, he quotes
evidence fora the most reliable sources
of the fulfilment of all the events, pre.
dieted in the page of prophecy. In his
preface he states that he does not revise
or recast a single explanation of pro-
pheoy in his former work, but abides by.
and; in this last volume, justifies all. Dr.
Curanling belonged to the Established
Church of Scotland, aud inveriallyepposed
alike the principle and policy of those who
felt it their duty to secede In 1848 and
form a • aeparete totanannien. In the
autumn of 1872 Dr. Cumming preached
before Her Majesty at Dunrobin. The
Subject of hid 'sermon was, "Communion
between Heaven and Earth." Her Majesty
walked toward the preacherat the close of
divine service, and personallythanked him
for the 'sermon to which, she .was pleased
-to say, she had listened with the greatest
pleasure. •
