Thies to evrey sul.s'riter a blank feria unci ad- dressed envelope for convenience of those in arrears in remitting amount due. We are pleased to say that a great many have honored our request by not only squaring back subscriptions, but enclosing amount of subscription for ]892. They have our hearty thanks, Those who have not yet answered the call wi+l oblige by doing so at an early date. A. few hundred sub- acrilx''r several years hi arrears, represents a eonsrderable sem, which, were it in our -. hands now, would be a great converience. Those subscribers who have paid till Jen. 1893, and who got notices, will please ex- cuse no, for with 2,000 subscribers it would have been a task to have gone over the lists and checked the names of these who had already paid. These will kindly over- look the notice as it was not intended for them. t'resentatto t, On Friday evening last the committee appointed by the Ladies' Aid of .James -et.
