The river was in flcod, and whero tho heavy flood of water met the easterly sea the waves were raised to a great height. No boat could live in such a sea. Immediately the men left tho boat it capsized and drifted out to sea. It was made of canvas, and wns hardly fit to croM the river, far less to stand tho buffeting of tho sea An inquest was held on the bodies yesterday, the verdict being accidental death.

According to a, contemporary, the Rev. Judson Titsworth has a church in Milwaukee, United States, whioh resembles a club house. The congregation is said to be one of the largest and most influential in tbo place, and the minister is an earnest advocate of what he calls " religious reason." Everything is novel in the arrangement of the building. The auditorium resembles that of a theatre, having a balcony and boxes at the side. There aro roouia fitted up for private devotional purposes, a hall where theatrical performances are given, bath rooms, a gymnasium, a largo reading room, and play rooms for children. Mr Titsworth's church must boa curiosity. It is never closed or silent. In the week, when their lessons are over, the children flock to it, and romp on their playground. While athletes are stretching their limbs at the gymnasium, meetings of various kinds are hold in the rooms set apart for them, or a play is performed by tho members who lovo theatricals. Thus a wave of humanity streams ia and out of tho doors continually.
