Sin, -I wish to convey tO the man- agement of the -yesterday's 24th May celebration compliments for the suc- cessful. manner in which they adver- tised and carried out one of the most gigautic farces ever perpetrated on the public of this community1 un- derstand that ever since last winter when certain people of your town had their idol so rathlessly shattered that they have been doing all kinds of things, almost breaking their necks to put togssther the broken ft:age-hems and restore hire again to his place on the altar of public opinion. This has been done in various ways -creamery, Chicago, Foundry, 241h May, &c, all to give notoriety, big lettered bills With name of big caps, everything in fact that could be done to bonne their man. But of all the fakes that has yet been turned out, yesterday's puts on the cep sheaf. 1, as a coularyman, will not soon forget this kiud of way of gulling us innocent, confiding people out of our spare pence. If this is booming Exeter I want no more of it, and pronounce it a disgrace to those whose names appeared on the bills and their private secretar,y. The concert was a fitting wind up to a day of frauds and now Bawden et el can pock- et the proceeds and laugh at us dupes, and perhaps effer a tithe to the poor as last year Well, go on, but if that is fair dealing to gull those people who are the backbone of the support of your town, 1 don't know fair play and decency-.

AND MRS. WALKER, DEAR Fernenes,-We, on behalf of the adherents and members of the Var- na and Goschen Methedist Church, take this opportunity of signifying our ap- probatioa of the services you have jointly rendered us during the short term of three years that you have lseett with us, and of expressing our deep re- gret at your departure from our midst. You have together labored. unceasing- ly to better our condition, both morally ' and spiritually, and. we are firmly im- pressed with the belief that youiteeforts have not been futile Most nobly have you (Mn Walker) acquitted yourself while :vou have occupied the official position as pastor of this coneregatica. Yeur untiring efforts and. intense earn- estness and zeal displayed in our be- half have led us to esteem you meet highly. We feel that in losing you, we lose one who has sincerely had the in- terests of the people at heart. Yors (Mrs. Walker) have been an active worker both in relieblous and charitab- le matters, ever striving to advance the interests of the church, --both at home and iu foreign climesthus en- deavoring to extend tee kingdom of our dear Lord and Master. During your residence here you have acted.. the part of a philanthropist, adminis- tering to the needy whenever the oc- casion required it; visiting' the sick and those, in distress, and by your kind words endeavoring to alleviate suffering and cheer the distressed. Your sojourn with us has indeed beeat an exceedingly pleasant one, in which nothing has ever intervened to dispel the harmony that has prevailed amongst us. As a slight token of 011r respect for you, aud of the estimable services you have rendered us, We humbly ask you to accept this "Dinner and Bedroom Sett." Now that you are about to depart from us and go into a new fitsld of labor, you carry with you. the meny earnest prayers, that, as God in his kind providence has &sou fit te bless your efforts here, He may, and we trust Ile will, give you irt your new sphere that same blessing which he hes conferred upon you here. May yout and yours ever maintain that sem integrity and uprightnese that cbar- i.cterieed you during your residence here, ever bearing in mind, that the wishes of the people go with you.
