evening last was successful beyond expecta-
tion. The spacious basement of the Main-
st. Methodist church was filled to overflow-

programme, which embraced almost every-
thing of a literary, character, Was rendered
most satisfactorily, a leading feature being

"The House that Jack Punt." This was
especially pleasing to the young, while the
older folk could not help enjoying it. A
large collection was taken in aid of the
poor. The promoter of the Associaticim •

Dobserve in the last issue of
your journal a communication loom Mr.
Hay, in reply to Justice, in which he affirms,
"Mr. Gardiner did promise me the office and
also gave me to understand that he was post-
master and that he wonlal,use his influence to
get me appointed. This I can prove." I
emphatically deny:the whole of this state-
ment. I will endeavor to give a statement
"Of the bargain I made with him, notwith-
standing the assertion he makes, "that I ani
incapable of the position I am endeavoring to
retain." After I bought Mr. Clarke's store
fromJames Gardiner, sr., Mr. Hay came and
wanted to purchase it from me, that WaS no
July 1883. I &dined to sell. Re said, he
would call again perhaps I would change my
mind. He called in two weeks, I said I
would not sell at present. He made two or
three subsequent calls, and pressed me to
sell. He meale particular inquires about the
agreements with Messrs. Clarke and Gard'r.
I gave him a hill statement of all the trams le,
tions, and also about the P. 0. I said that I
would give'him the same answer Mr. Clark
gave to me; namely,. that it was:a , Govern-
ment appointment Which I could not control.
He then asked my price, 'should 1, think of
selling; I said$2,500. He requested to get the
first chance when.1 was ree.dyto sell.. I gave
him the promise. This all took place before
Mt. Clarke left the store. Iu.Angust, 1884,
the stateof my health wasisuch, that I was
advised to sell, I went to Mr. Hay and ful-
1 filled my promise, as there were others look-
ing after the store. Mr. Hay came me0w,-
1 panied by Mr. Stewart, and 1 offered to
1 sell. We agreed for $2,400. Mr. Stewart
' proposed going to Exeter to have the writ-
ings executed, but Mr. Hay Objected, statL
ing that' he could draw the writings himself.
There were several reserves, among , which,
was the desk, and'ease for holding the P. 0.
matter, whieh I hasi made to order, fot the
special purpose, he claims it was purehased
with the store, aud denies its reservation.
The 1'. 0. never was -mentioned during Our
agreement, that I can remember, and I am
positively sure it 'never WM premised, nor is
it mentioned in tile writings. The Offices to
whieh he refers, were, the Clerkship ;of Us -
borne, and. the Secretaryship, °V , the Insur-
ance Company. ' The clerkship I told him
did not think he could tget,; but 1 prcnnised,

would not bejiistifted,in fulfilling my 7/5.0-
