THAT DISMISSAL,
To tine Jdttor of 'Mrs Poor:
Duan Bta.—Laeb week's Pon oontaine
a oommanioation over the oignatnre of
F, 8. Soots in reference to that diemieeal
which ie oanepi000ae for three things :--
Tory abuse and apparent hatred ; praise
of F. S. Scott ; and signs of displeasure
for being turned out of offios. First he
had a whack at some of the local Tories
and eventually brought in the whole Rid
ing which gives your oorrespondent and
others a right to make a few statements
in reply. I have nothing personally to
say against Mr, Scott for I found him a
gentleman pinna I first made his ao•
quoinbanae bat it is hie eayinge in Tun
Popo that we have to deal with. Re is
apparently annoyed at some writer in
The Herald who has not given hie name.
There has bean oonaiderable of that kind
of work done, for I am reminded of two
letters which came out in Tun PosT just
before tbe lust election, without any
name but signed "Liberal" and filled
with horrible dirty stuff against the Oon•
Oervativea, I will . nob say thole Mr.
Soott was the writer of them bat this I
do say that the style of writing and Tory
abase is jean about the same but the
former on a larger Beale, They did not
have the desired effoot, they did not pan
out according to expeotation, rather the
reverse for the more that was written the
more the big majority Dame down. Just
like on the eve of the D..minioe Election
the ocunty wae flooded with what appear-
ed to me to be immoral literatnie and
the more they unloaded it on the three
Hurons the more Hurons they lost. We
have heard from time to time ooneider-
able about Mr. Scott's great and ineee-
sant work for hip party, of which he ap.
pears to boast in hie letter. I ask what
great things has he done ? Hae be been
working for the uplifting of bnmenity ?
Has he been doing all for the upbnilding
of Bruesele, hie native town, in building
faotoriee and other plaoae of industry to
give employment to meohauios and
laborers and to help the public in general ?
The answer ie No I Wheo we Dome down
to the fine thing we find that he was
working merely to keep hie polftioal
party in power ; to keep in power a tot-
tering Government against the will of the
people ; that be was working to keep in
office a Government which had resorted
to tricks and eobemes to prolong its
existence. In regard to the ealary for
being Bailiff, we know tbat for many
years atter Mr. Soobt got the °Moe the
pay was mach better than of late for be
has informed us that during the last five
years it has got down to the low average
of 363 00 per year. We find that Mr.
Soots had the office for 27 years and if
we multiply that low average of $6800
per year by the 27 years we will have a
net prodaot of 91,700, Why, man alive!
he ie $1,700 ahead 0f any conservative
in Brunets beeidee interest and oompoand
lntere0t, ;Under these :otroametancee I
can't see where any squealing ought to
name in, If we atop and do o little think•
ing we must eertainly come to the oon.
elusion that the Reform party ought to be
an extra rich class of people for they
have had the Government patronage for
32 years and during that time no Oon•
eervative need apply. Onoee were creat-
ed right and left until the offioe.holdere be -
mine a little army, each one drawing a
salary and giving his support and in•
fluence in favor of the Government,
Like the Jews of old, who claimed to be
the oh en rape sae
oreo le and all the rest
p p
were Gentflee, just so with the Reform
party. They apparently thought and
acted ae if they should have all the ofli-
oea and all the good things for like the
Jews of old they claimed to be the people
and all the reel were Tories, Then the
poor Tories had to stay outside and get
along es beet they ouald for 82 long, long
years. Yee 1 Mr. Boort, kindly oondee•
oende to gall the great.Liberal Oonserva•
tivo party Tories, whiob is now composed
of both Retotmere and Conservatives and
long may they live to keep down all kinds
of wrong doing and corrupt ante.

The Presbytery of Maitland held a pro.
rebate meeting in Luoknow on June let,
to oonaider the resignation of Rev, Sidney
Whaley, of the postoral °barge of 8t.
Helena and East Ashfield. Mr. Whaley
has rendered aervioe of a high order in
the past ten years. There were nine
representatives of the sessions and oon•
gregatione present and these bore non.
imoue teebimony to tbe pease, love and
harmony that prevail in tbe oongrega•
tions. They also bore testimony to the
quality of the work done by Mr. Whaley
while teethed been with them. They were
prepared to offer him six months leave of
absence that his health might be restored
by rest, eo as to enable him to (tontines
ae their pastor. Mr, Wbaley, while folly
appreciating the offer of his people, knew
that unitise he was treed from hie charge
he would not be able to free hinteell from
feelinge of responsibility, and therefore,
hard ae he found it to do, he adhered to
his resignation.
Having thus expressed the desire that
hie resignation be aoaepted, it wag moved
by Mr. MaoNabb, eeoondtd by Mr.
Malcolm that with great regret
we aooept the resignation of Rev,
Sydney M. Whaley, of the pastoral charge
of St. Helene and East Aebfleld, to take
offeot on the 15th day of June. In doing
eo we would plane on record our high
appreciation of his ability and fidelity a0 a
preacher, end a pastor ; of the exoellenoe
of the work done by ban ; of the energy
and enthusiasm with whinh he tae
devoted himself to the Service of big non•
gregatione; and the eonspioaone 0uooaee
that bag attended hie labore ler their
weal. We rejoice in the harmonious
rale -tient, existing between himself and
hie people but wo regret that he had
not spared himself more that be might
have served them longer, Aa a member
of bhie Court we shall mien him, sines he
has been diligent in attendance, has al-
ways taken a helpful part in the prooeed-
inge, and haft over beau ready 10 bear any
burden of work imposed Upon him, We
earneetly beooeoh the Heavenly Father
to graoioaeiy keep our brother in file
tender ogre, to grant him rest and reobp•
oration, and in Brie own good time to
open the way for biro to a enitable field
of labor where be may for many years to
