as little children, are turning to Christ,
the converts' already being- numbered
by the hundreds. Pi of. Sox read a

stating that., "Mr. Hammond is one of
God's chosen vesseht to present the

he has a wonderful faculty of making
plain the plan ot salvation; that the
evening meetings are crowded, and that

The Dansville (X. Y.) Advertiser
tells the following : "On Friday, May
27th, Moses George, of this village, a
veteran of the war of 1812, who has
liassed his eightieth vear, extracted
from his groin a bullet which was
buried there by the rifle ot an Indian at
the battle of Chippewa on ths 5th day
of July, 1815. The bulet struck the
inside of the right leg near the groin as
the soldier was wheeling into line and
badly shattered the' thigh bone. The
bullet wciglis a full half ounce and is
concave on one side, showing the im
press ot the bone which it struck. It
is somewhat blackened, but beneath a
thin coating the lead is as pure and
bright as it was over half a century ag j.
The results of the .wound made by the
bullet were very severe. The limb has
shortened si.v inches or more, -and below
tlie thigh and reaching nearly to the
knee is thickly scarred, where pieces of
the shattered bone, over fifty iu all,
have from, time to time worked out.
The bullet did not Teturn by its original
entrance, but came to tlie surface about
four inches above and was taken out by
the veteran himself without the aid ot
instruments, lie was overjoyed to get
his eyes on the old eticmy who had
worried him so long." .

ranges but require large capital to suc
cessfully work the niines. Some classes
ot gold ami silver mines are now work
ed advantageously, but the heavy work
requires large capital and will be prose
cuted when labor and other expenses are
cheap. These minerals are all useful to
the people of the world and will bo ex
tracted from the earth as the expense
become less than the income,aud capital
feels safe in such a field. Our moun
tains seem now to be almost worthless,
but time will show them to be the
most valnab'c part ot tho State. .The
unlimited quantity ot timber, uuequaled
in quality,- must eventually become
valuab e, ana tlie liuhlen minerals can-,

Gradually the -mines are being ojened
and ojicrators are growing rich. Time
will solve the problem and future gen
