Myrtle Hazard, rescued from great peril of the waters, and cared for by good Samaritans, is now in her home.

Thou, O Lord, who didst let the water-flood overflow her, didst not let the deep swallow her up, nor the pit shut its mouth upon her.
Let us return our thanks to the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, who is our God and Father, and who hath wrought this great deliverance." After his prayer, which it tried him sorely to utter in unbroken tones, he gave out the hymn, "Lord, thou hast heard thy servant cry, And rescued from the grave;" but it was hardly begun when the leading female voice trembled and stopped,--and another,--and then a third,--and Father Pemberton, seeing that they were all overcome, arose and stretched out his arms, and breathed over them his holy benediction.
The village was soon alive with the news.

The sexton forgot the solemnity of the Sabbath, and the bell acted as if it was crazy, tumbling heels over head at such a rate, and with such a clamor, that a good many thought there was a fire, and, rushing out from every quarter, instantly caught the great news with which the air was ablaze.
A few of the young men who had come back went even further in their demonstrations.

They got a small cannon in readiness, and without waiting for the going down of the sun, began firing rapidly, upon which the Rev.Mr.Stoker sallied forth to put a stop to this violation of the Sabbath.

But in the mean time it was heard on all the hills, far and near.
