It seems that his clerk, Selh Hook, had been walking in his sleep ar:d on account of stepping in a paint barrel lett his foot jirints wherever he wandered.

SHOT ASl) KILU'J) HIS JIOXHKH.

A OiMrf.ssinjj Aecident at '^lorn.stown. Last night John Wrenniuk aged 22 nccidently shot and killed his mother, Mrs. Wm. Wrennick, of Morristown, at t.ieir home there. She was something of nn inva'id bemj adl'Cted with lung troub'e and the young .n having prep»,H'd supper told 1:is mother it was re«dy. When she came out he was banmg a revolver and she told him he ought not to have such a thing about the house as it was dangerom. While they were talking it \Vent oft and the ball striking her heart, she is killed instantly. The youug man is \vild and distracted with grief aud h- vt broken over the tiict that hj killed nis mother, but that does not bring her bn, -k. The shooting was entirely accidental but it shows the dangerousness of revolvers when handled carelessly.

CHANGE OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF.

The Kite of liaptism Atlministered in the Shadow of Death -31 urder ollows a Petty Quarrel—An Olil Project ltevivel.

A New County. Proposed -Other Indiana State News. DEL'HI, Ind., Aug. 2b.—The death of Mrs. Vincent Johnson of Burlington township, this connrv. recalls an impressive ceremony that was witnessed by several hundred people several weeks ago. Mrs. Johnson had been sick with coiisamptioiitorsever.il month* Her parents were members of the Dnnkard church, but several years ago Mrs. Johnson united herself with the Methodist church.

After she was fold that she could not recover her mind dwelt c.infiniiously upon reiiyious matters, and a longing to unite herself with the church of her parents took possession of her. This iact was communicated to the Dnnkard brethren in cue vicinity in winch she lived, and the woman, who was at that tune in the ist stages of consumption, was informed that she could not unite with the church without baptism by immersion. With a smile, she replied that that was what she desired.

Accordingly several Sabbaths jigo the poor, emaciated woman was lifted from her couch, placed on a ihair, carried to the waters of the Wild Cat, and 111 the presence of her neighbors and friends the rite of baptism by immersion was administered. It is? said that when the good woman was carried from the water her features were radiant and she whispered to those about her that she was now ready to die. None who witnessed the ceremony will ever have it erased from their memory.
