Mr. Askin found it a bush 101 and by indeetry, economy and good manage meat transformed it into as good a farm as is to be found on the line. A new brick residence was built this Summer and was only 000upied 1.0 days before the death summons Dame to the head of the hones. Mre.

Steise, of this township ; and Mime Mary E., who resides at home. The anbjeot of this nobioe was a quiet, enameling man but straightforward, kindly diepoeitioned and held in high re- gard by all who knew him as was attested by the long oonoouroe of relatives, friende and neighbors who attended his funeral on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. G. J.

On Tuesday night of this week some of one boys were entertained by afietiouff encounteron the backstreet, but it was soon brought to a close as one of the partioipante said "Enough," Polioe ! M1,. EDITan,—lt Seems to me that your correspondent of last week has strange ideas of law and order for in speaking of the things done here on the night of the 81st ult., he designates them "innocent Molts." Oo the night in question my stable doors were broken open and the buggy taken to the station and placed on top of Mr. McAllieter'e granary. Mr. Cober's baggy was placed on top of the woodshed on the aobool ground ; a new wheel barrow placed ou the mill ; Mr. Mcallinter'a rig thrown into the river up aide down and such things were among the "innocent trioke" played by the young men of this neighborhood on the night of Hallowe'en. The worst has not been told. I am a target for the enemy because I refuse to allow yonng men to disturb the congregation during Divine eervioe. A few weeks alone font or five of the baser Bort were passing photon from one to the other while the congre- gation were on their knees using them instead of oarde ; they had the latter also. I asked the leader, through a J. P., for an apology whioh he gave. Owing to the conduct of those young men many of our people never attend the week night prayer meeting as they are not allowed to walk home without being hooted at and insulted on the street, J. G.

ANOTnie VIEW.—In refereuoe to an item which appeared in last week's PoaT lamaotiag the departure of J. D. B. Henry from B. S. No. 4, Morrie, I wish to say a few words in explanation of same. Any man so narrow-minded as to cause in the hearts of 80 little obildren, ranging in age from 6 to 12 years, a spirit of strife, we jnet bespeak the sentiments of the broad-minded ratepayers of this sea. tion when we say—the emotion is well rid of him. Had he maid he merely wished MWS few friende and himself to he present to witnes° the presentation of a chair, wbioh, itis said, he had given money to help boy, and to hear an address read whioh he may have reimposed himself, he would have bad his wish fully gratified, The Trustees of S. S. No. 4, Morrie, are well eatofled with the (Mange of teacher. And lastly, Mr. Editor, the feelings of the young people of the section are that Mr. Henry might well help make himself the present as he never satisfactorily accounted for the .proceeds of last Xmas' entertainment whioh the young people were good enough to help him through with.
