A CAPT\IN’S DISCOVERY. Mr. Thomas S. Methvin, of the firm of E. E. Jones & r 'o., very narrowly escaped death last Thursday night. tic had been down’ in Oglethorpe County and was returning home, bat wh-’n he got here Fridayjnight he waB in a decidedly worse ahape^ than when he left. Mr. Methvin wa« driving through Oglethorpe county Thursday night and w is heading towards Lexington where he intended stopping for the night. He had passed the Glade and was within a few miles of Lexington The night was veiy dark and strong and he codlrt hardly see his hand before him. The wind whistled mournfully through -the trees and everything combined to make the night a meat disagreeable one. His horse whs trotting along niceiy, when suddenly he stopped and at the fame time Mr. Methvin felt his buggy pi vo way and sink. Then the hora slipped down and in a few moments., the horse, the buggy and the man were descending rapidly through the air to the ground below. He had driven into a thirty foot ra vine, and soon struck tjto bottom with the buggy on top of him. Ti e fall had stunned him badly. His head was gashed and bia face scratched up, but luckily no bones were broken. l’he next thing was to get out of the ravine and secure medical aid. H- knew nothing of the nature of the plac* into which he had driven and the Are' thing that suggested itself was to at tempt to climb out. Mr Methvin scrambled around an.-’ hunted for s >me means to help him out He found two old rails in the gully an placed one against the side and starter to climb. When he reached the top of the rail, he found that he was still far aw»> from safety, lie then pulled op tin other rail and placed it recurely in po sition and mounted higher. \\ ,en he reached its height he groper’ out i:i the darkness, but found that tl« feiii. of the ravine still extended up ward. Taking out his pocket knife h* excavated holes in the side of the bill, and step by step mounted until almost exhausted be reached the top. It was oot long before he had sum* mooed assistance and the horse and buggy, badly demolished, were taken out while Mr. Mrtbvin went on to Lex intrfon. There Dr. Mark Willingham An Island not on the Chart is Found by the Caotatn of a Coasting Lugger Skeletons by the Score are Seen Lying In Huts and on the Ground-*-Sev- enteen In one Hut. Gxaykas, Mox., Dec. 8.—ThacapUii of a sons ting logger, who arrived her. acme days ago, telle a strange story of a diseovery made by him when his vessel bud been driven out ef its course dur ing a storm some weeks age. He taaded up and down the eosst, do ing basinass among the inhabitants ol M!*nds and coast village*, between here and San Siege. OaL, and, while on his last trip, a heavy wind drove him far out of hie way, and when the storm abated he feoad that be was so far out •f hk usual path that ha had lest hit wehening. Be was out of sight ol shore, and when they saw land they bore down upon it and found an island that was not down on any of the oharts. He sent a boat ashore, and the men re turned. saying that no one lived there, but that there were many houses and evidences ef the plaoe having at one time been inhabited. The captain then went ashore himself, and found that the island had undoubtedly been swept by a scourge ef some kind, which bad carried off every living being. There were numerous huts, shewing that at one time there had been many people living there, bat not a living thing was to be found. An examina tion revealed the fact that the forraei residents had died in each numbers that they had not been buried, but the skeletons were lying around the island where the people had been when death had overtaken them. In one hut were found the remains of seventeen people, while in many others were the bones of great numbers. They had been dead for such a time that the bones were beginning to deoay. There was little to be found to show what kind of peo ple they were, but it is supposed that they belonged to one of the island tribes which were so abundant in this part of the ooast fifty years ago. Of course there can only be conjecture as to the probable cause of the wiping out of an entire tribe, but the knowledge of the fearful sweep of scourges on otiier islands leads to the belief that a pesti lence swept off the inhabitants.

While uot serious, Mr. Methvin’^ wounds were very painful, a gas across the forehead, eyes nearly closed, ami hi* whole body bruised up, such w. re the results of his accident, and it wa« certainlv a miracle tbat they were j not worse. The cuise of the accident is explained in tlii* manner. There has recently been cat a new roid around this dangerous ravine, but in the darkness, Mr. Metbvin bad KLEIN & MARTIN driven into the old road and on into the ravine. It was certainly a thrilling accident, and a night not soon to be forgotten by th** gentleman who played the principal part in it. Are After Them With a Hot Stick.

But still the original question- lemained, for asking one does not answer another, and does not necessarily help in answering it „ It is generally conceded by all true chuicbes ot Christ tbat meetings for prayer on the part of the members are essential to their spiritual pro-perity and growth, if not to their very existence. Chiisianity is social in its tendency, nnd recognizes meeting for social worship. The mem bers of a church have interests and wants in common. And to meet these warns they are dependent upon God. And to re ceive spit Dual blessing from God they ate to a»k for them.

Much disappointment is felt by sporting men here at Sullivan’s re lapse into his old habits, as it was hoped that he would keep himself in i food condition until next fall, when, as le haa announced, he will again antar the prize ring for the last time. A Dublin dispatch states that tha McCarthyite section of the Irish parlia mentary party has decided to take de cisive steps to secure the Irish funds at | tresent in the hands of Mr. Mnnroe, the Paris banker. Mr. Jnstin McCarthy and Mr. Timothy Healy have now com menced an action against Mr. Mnnroe to decide the ownership of the funds, and to compel him to restore the money to those who are entitled to the posses sion of it. A Yonnj ward who enlisted in the Union Army secured an honorable discharge for meritorious service, died here, aged 42. When 13 years old Wright enlisted, be ing large of his age. and daring the war saw hard service. After he re turned be took up the vocation of loco motive engineer, and resided at Mead- ville.

Wright, the yonugest soldier enlisted in the Union Army and meeting together of those who need tbe thingsasked for in Buch prayer. Aud He promises blessings to thqse who meet in His name. .And the custom of His disci ples, especially afu r His asceusinn, was to meet for prayer. And the instruction of the apostles to the primitive cbnrcbea shows, tbat it was necessary, as well as a custom, for them to have prayer-meetings. And such has been the custom ot evangeli cal churches in all times. Indeed, it is regarded as presumption to expect a church to prosper without prayer-meetings. They may for a time prosper outwardly through the popularity of tbeir pastors, but the vi tality aud moral power of a church will not exist lom: when they cease to have meetings for social prayer. And in such meetings there must be life, earnestness, fervency, to have them effectual or avail ing with God. A cold indifference, a life less formality, does uot meet tbe necessity <>f the case. There must be tbe feeling, the earnest pleading of him who said, “1 will not let tnee go except thoo bless me.” —Selected. AN EYE FOR MOTES. ajBRADFIEU^S FEMALE CAirrensvti.tiBij&irii 88:1880.
