MAITLAND PRESBYTERY.
The Presbytery of Maitland met in the
Methodist Chnrets, Kincardine, on the
i5th of May, and disposed of a consider.
able docket of business. The Revs, Dr.
MacLennan and Dr. Macdonald of the
Presbyterian Church, and Messrs Locke,
and Smith of the Methodist Church be-
ing present, were invited to sit as cor-
responding members.
The Session. Records and Communion
Rolls of Calvin Church, East Wawanosh
Wroxeter, Dangannon, Port Albert
Molesworth, Walton, Brussels, Kincar-
dine, Pine River, and Cranbrook, were
examined, and attested as carefully, and
correctly kept.
The names of 15 ministers of other
churches, on whose behalf application is
being made by various Presbyteries to
the General Assembly for permission to
receive them into the Presbyterian
Charok, were read.
A call was presented from the congre-
gatioa of Knox Church, Ripiey,and Knox
Church, Bervie, in favor of the Rev.
W. Cooper Mercer. The call was
largely signed, and was aecom-
panied by a guarantee of Stipend for
Indications
of Paralysis
ALL nervous diseases are slow in
Coaling Un, and for this reason
the victitn often does not realize his
danger until overtaken by prostra-
tion or, paralysis.
Loss of' interest in life, sleepless-
ness, irritability, failure of memory,
inability to concentrate the mind,
muscular weakness, indigestion,
headache, twitching of the nerves,
feelings of depression and despond-
ency are among the symptoms which
tell of an exhausted nervous system
and the approach of paralysis.
Dr. Chasers Nerve Food stops the
wasting process by which the nerve
cells are being destroyed, and by
forming new, rich blood and creat-
ing new nerve force positively and
permanently restores the nervous
system,

rim were heard, They spoke .of the
hta
tete and unanimity of the pall,
which on int tion duly made was sus-
tained as a regular gospel call, and the
Clerk was instructed to forward it to
Mr. Mercer, Is having been dito.,vert d
that Mr. Mercer was willing to accept,
it was arranged that his induction take
place in Knox Church, Ripley on Friday,
June 1st, at 2 p m , that tate Moderator
preside, Mr. Craw preach, Mr. A Miller
address the Minister, and Mr. McKerroll
the people.
The Treasurer reported that all the
congregations had pail their assessments
to the Preebytery and Syuod Feuds, ex•
cepting three, and was instructed to
notify these.
The 0.erk reported for the Committee
appointed to revise the Presbytery's
Mending orders. The recomendatious
were considered seriatim, and a few am-
mendments having been made the report
was adopted,
Mr. Moierroll reported that it had
been found impossible to make satisfac-
tory arrangements for the proposed
Summer Sohool to have been held in
Lucknow in June, as many of those ex-
pected to take part, owing to other en•
gagements were not available, and that
the Sabbath Sohoot Committee had de•
tided that it was better to drop the mat
ter for this year. It was agreed to ap-
prove the notion of the Committee.
Mr McKerroll reported that as he had
to move out of the hoose formerly occu
piel by him, and no other was available
for rent, the Managing Board by the
authority of the session and congrega
tion of Lucknow had bought a house to
be used as a Meuse, and lead issued a
mortgage for the same. The Presbytery
was pleased to know that the Lucknow
congregatiou had been so prospered as to
lead them to take this forward step.
They are very much to be commended
for the result of the effort put forth by
them not very long ago, when they put
over three thousand dollars on the plate
as a °attribution towards the reduction
of their church debt. There is every
likelihood that it will not be Iong before
they will be able to free the additional
burden they have seen fit to bear. It is
worthy of note that this transaction
gives a manse to the Duly pastoral charge
in the Presbytery that of late has been
without one.
A hearty and unanimous vote of
thanks was extended to the Rev. Mr.
L)cke and the Official Board of the
Methodist Church for their courtsey in
granting the use of their Church build-
ing for the meeting.
The Presbytery afterwards met in
Knox Charoh, when on motion of Mr.
McLeod, seconded by Dar. Chisholm it
was agreed that the Presbytery express
approval of the remit from the General
Assembly re the travelling expenses of
commissioners to the meeting of the As.
sembly.
It was agreed to dispose of the report
on Statistics at the adjourned meeting
in Ripley oa June 1st.
At the meeting of the MaitlandPresby-
terial W.F.M.SaMr. McKerroll made the
following motion which was duly second-
ed, and carried by the vote of the mem-
bers of Presbytery: That we, the Pres-
bytery of Maitland, express our high ap-
preciation of the excellent work that is
being done by the Maitland Presbyterial
of the W. F, M. S., as manifest by your
report to -night. We note with grati-
tude that with God's grace you have
been permitted to achieve daring the
past year the greatest success in your
history, so far as material contribnttons
can be taken to symbolize this, But
above and beyond this we desire to ex.
press our appreciation of the various
congregations of this Presbytery. We
tract and hope that your future may be
blessed with still greater success, and
that your members may individually
have the joy that flows therefrom.
The Presbytery adjourned to meet in
Knox Church, Ripley, on the 1st of June,
at 2 p. m.

SURVIVED BLACK HAWK WAR A
..
Z Sulberger ot Illinois Zi Hearty
and Hale as Ever Now at Age ,
of Ninety -Two.
Bloomington, 11L --It bas been dfae
covered that Illinois has another sur-
vivor of the Black Hawk war, Alexander
T. Sullenger, of McLeansboro, having
fought the Indians 75 year ago. He
is 92 years of age, and a remarkable
character, both on account ot his own
record as a veteran and because of his
Patriotic ancestry. His father, James
Sullenger, was an eyewitness to the
surrender of Lord Cornwallis at York-
town, and the son still retains in hia
possession a pair of brass stirrups in
Which his father's feet rested .as be oat
on horseback viewing the historic scene
which put an end to the war tor Amer-
ican ludependence.
Mr, Sullenger, the younger, was taus,
tered into the volunteer army 01 the
United States at the ago of IS, the blus-
tering officer being Lieut. Jefferson
Davis, later leader of the confederate
army in the civil war. Ile served
through the Black Hawk war under
the name of Patina, kis mother having
married a man of that name after the
death ot his father. After the war Mr.
Sullenger returned to Hamilton coun-
ty, which has been his home eontinu-
misty since. He is the oldest coroner in
the state, having served itt that capacity
for over half a century. He has been
a member of tate masonic order -for 56
years.
Among the many curious relics owned
by Mr. Sullenger is a three -shilling
scrip, which bears a warning that coun-
terfeiting will be punished by death. Mr.
Sulienger is in good health and bids
fair to round out the century mark.
REJECT NAVAL APPLICANTS.
More Are Dismissed Because ot Bad
Teeth Than for Any Other
Beason.
Washington. -Reports to the navy
department from recruiting parties at
various points in the a United States
show that of all the applicants for en-
listment two-thirds are rejected be-
cause of physical deficiencies. The
naval requirements are for sound and
healthy young men. More are reject-
ed because of bad teeth than for any,
other reason,
Naval surgeons hold that a man who
has lost a majority of his molars can-
not properly masticate his food. He
Is, therefore, susceptible to stomach
trouble and the disorders of the diges-
tive organs. His efficiency as a work-
ing machine Is thus impaired. The sur-
geons consider a man with one upper
and one lower molar on one side much
better off for the naval service than
a man who has lost all his upper molars
but whose lower molars remain sound.
The food question aboard ship is one
of great importance. If It does not
agree with the bluejacket they are
quick to complain. There are no dental
surgeons regularly rated in the United
States navy, although some hospital
stewards do dental work. There is a
regular dentist on the receiving ship
'Hancock.
The authorized limit of the enlisted
personnel of the navy is now 34,000.
It is hoped at the bureau of naviga-
tion tbat the full number will be re-
cruited by July 1.
ILLUMINATED BALL LATEST.
Phenomenal Sphere Can Be Used to
Play Golf on the Darkest
Nights. •
New York. -A genius in this city has
invented an aluminum golf ball. This is
expected to revolutionize this popular
game.
The composition of the ball is kept se-
cret. A certain amount of phosphorus
mixed with some other chemical gives it
a peculiar and brilliant glow, The ball
is claimed to have all the properties of
the regulation one.
The unique feature lies in the fact that
With the neW lhvention golf can be
played at night as well as when the sun
is shining. Wherever it drops it can be
seen by the light it throws out. When
playthg at night lanterns are placed on
the different greens. In driving the
course of the ball can be seen through
the air.
Another advantage is that when the
new ball is played in daytime games,
and is lost, at night it can readily be
found by the glow it gives out.
