After severe. members of Presbytery were heard the following motion, moved by Mr. Mur- ray, seconded by Mr. Ross was agreed to "that the Presbytery in accepting the resignation of Mr. Ballantyne desire to plane on the records their deep regret in having to part with a brother who has greatly endeared himself to all the mem- bers of the court as well as to the session and congregation of Walton. The Pres- bytery would also recognize with grati- tude the marked success with which the Great Head of the church hescrownedhie labors in that field during hie short pas- torate, and the strong bond of union which bad existed and steadily increased between the pastor and the people. The Presbytery would further express deep sympathy with Mr. Ballantyne in view of tho very delicate state of his heaith which necossitates his resignation, and the earnest hope end prayer that a change of climate for a short period will fully restore him to his former vigour, and enable him to employ his high and varied qualifloations in some suitable field of labor as God in His Providence may direct. Tho Presbytery would ex- press fullest sympathy with the congre- gation of Walton in the loss they sustain sn parting with a minister who has been successful as a preacher and a pastor, who has secured their warmest affection and esteem and Would also express the hope that a' suitable pastor of God's choice may soon be placed over them. It was agreed that the resignation take effect ou Sabbrth, 14th day of October. Mr. Ross was appointed Moderator etre- tem. The following were appointed a committee to a -range for the supply of the pulpit during the vacancy, Miners. Ross, Howie, McRae in connection with the elders of the congregation.

Campbell Robert Lockhart and from East Ashfield, F. E. Finlay, Robt. Harrison, F. Scott. These commissioners were heard, else Hugh Rutherford, jr,, Mr. Leask was then heard. Ho still adhered to his resignation. Mr. Leask was asked to withdraw his resignation, but on account of personal reasons in- sisted that the Presbytery should aooept his resignation. After several members of the Preebytery had spoken the follow- ing motion was unanimously passed. Moved by J. McNabb seconded by Mr. Hartley. The Presbytery having heard, commissioners from St. Helens end East Ashfield and also Mr, Leask" statement of personal reasons for adhering to his resignation therefore' agree to aoeept said resignation. While accepting the resignation of Mr. Leask, the Presbytery does so with much regret. realizing that a very big gap is made in our bounds by the removal of our esteemed brother who has labored so long and faithfully in this part of the Lord's vineyard. Mr. Leask has been a diligent and zealour pioneer minister. His faithful and energetio labors bayonet been confinodto his own congregations, but have boon devoted to a large district in Huron and Brume when then the laborers were few in the field. Tho long pastorate of twenty -throe years in St. Helens has been a r000rd of pas- toral enemas. This court loses an motive and faithful member. Mr. Leask hat been identified with the Presbytery since its organization, end was its mast ofileiont clerk for many years. We would record our high appreciation of the many excellent qualities of Mr, Leask, as a ohristian gentleman ; a faithful and able minister of the New Testamout ; a dili• gent and =alone pastor, and an active nod judicious member of the Presbytery. We would follow Mr. Leask with oarheet prayer that his impaired health may be speedily roamed, and that tbo Lord of the Vineyard may so direct kis course, Diet his activities and energies may be employed in the Master's work to the praise of alis getter/ end the good of Zion, and that a field ofusefulness May be open to him whore his Weds email be mane most mogul, 113 patting With ltfr, °BRUSSELS, Leaner, wo winhnnr brother, his estimable partner and family the blessings of Divine Providence, and the crown of glory in the groat (hereafter.

Wallington Letter. ire= our Regular Correspondent./ WAaniNoxoN, Sept, 25, nem The Domoaratic caucus Tuesday night voted down the Oates proposition to fix a day for the ad•ournmont of Congress, and took no flirt or notion in the matter. The popular understanding is now that there ie to be no adjonrnmsnt of Con. gross until after the eloation, at all events; that no bu+inese is to bo done by the House after the appropriation bills are diepoeed of, and that, members will he given free leave bo go home to tako charge of their canvasses. Your oorrespondout is informed, en good authority, however, that therm is to be soother Domoeratia eeucus called in about two weeks, and that there will at that time be practically no opposition to a resolution fora prompt adjournment. This, it is stated, is by an agreement among the learners. The refusal of the Democratic house caucus to adopt a rss'ltition fixing au early day for adjournment was no dis- appointment, apparently, to the Senate. As a rule Domooratio Senators bad ex- pressed themselves in favor of allowing the Republioans t)!1 the time they may deem necessary for oonsideration of the tariff. Ever since the introduotion of the Oates resolution in the Hoose the question of adjournment has boon in- formally canvassed among the Setatore. As to what the Republicans would do in the event of the House adopting a reso- lution of adjournment there has been no little speculation. Most of the Repabli- cane when questioned amid they would leave the matter in the hands of the fin- ance committee ; but several on that side of the chamber quietly intimated that they might vote for adjournment if the question was fairly presented. With roped to the Republican tariff bill. it was aeeertod by Republican San• eters yesterday that their bill will cer- tainly be reported, and that it would in all probability be laid before the full fin- ance committee at their regular meeting next Tuesday. The first positive stand taken in Con- gress against the enactment of a law to confer upon the President the power =Iced for in his recent message on the subject of our relations with Canada and of retaliation was by Senator Sherman in a spenoh Tuesday. He deolarod em- phatically that in his opinion no such powers should be oonforrod upon the President. His speech was conservative iu tone, oonuselling moderation in ad jesting controversies with Canada, Sen- ator Shame& was listened to with mark- ed atteution by both Democrats and Re- publicans. The proceedings of the Senate sub- committo on the tariff yesterctaymorning were in refreshing contrast with the av- e. -age of the last two months. About fifteen well -cheesed, fresh -looking ladies, made their appearance at the doors of the committee room at 11 o'olook, hand• ed by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, of Iowa, and were introducted by Senator Allison to his fellow -members as a delegation who wished to be hoard in respectto woman's espeeial interest in the protective tariff. Mfrs. Foster addressed the committee eloquently and at considerable length. She desoribed her exporienoe in Europe a year ago, whither sate went in 00en00• tion with the philanthropic work in wbioh she had spent her life, "setting forth the steps which led her to the be- lief that the incomparably euparior ad- vantages enjoyed by the American wom- an as wife, mother or self -supporter to her European sister, were due to the American protective system. She was followed by several of the other ladies present. Senator Harris, who represented the tariff reform doctrine on the committee, gallantly contented himself in drawing. the fact frt .1 ea t of the speakers that the foreign -barn element largely pre- dominated among their fellows in some instances, and that 0 about equalled that of native birth in others. The Navy Department mail this morn- ing contained a small round package ad- dressed to the •Seoretary. It was un- wrapped with unseemly haste, but was dropped in 'horror when the falling pap- ers disclosed a wooden tube about five or six inches long, provided with a neat braes map sunk about an inch into one end. Some one said it was a dynamite cartridge, and the thing was sent at once up stairs to the Bureau of Steam Engineering, where it was boldly un. screwed. All the box contained was a harmless little bottle of oil, carefully surrounducl by broken cork bo prevent breaking. Opening of the Wiarton Waterworks. The Eobo of Sept. 21 eaye s -The open- ing of the waterworks hero, which tools place on Thorley last, was a pleasing event to our oitfzons and a moot impor- tant one to aur village. Nothing could have been moth satisfactory than the tont proved, Pressure was put on about three o'clock in the afteenooh and in a short time two streams were throwing water et least forty fort higher than any building in our village. Your more nozzles were then attached to the .mixt two hydrants, making in all six 11 inch streams going at 1110 same time, each throwing water higher than any building in our village, which means a height of at least fifty. feet, !Their power and at. footiveness is a hundred per cont. more than Ives guaranteed. tiro every way the opening was a nuaooss, pleasing all and surpassing the expoetations of tbo most sanguine, !ilio engines aro a find pi000 of work- , nanship, being 50 -horse power oomgonnd -duplex rotative engines (plunger pumps), using steam twice before exbauetng, a greetsaving of fuel.

Mra. Jenkins, an elderly lady, of God- erich township, had ler pocket pinked of $100 at the Clinton exhibition.

It was witnessed by 1,500 persons, although at the time a heavy rainstorm was in progress, Lee was the first to row from his bent house to the referee's boat and was followed a few minutes after by O'Connor who, ow- ing to the storm, had replaced his Tamia iar red cap with a close -fitting black skull cap. 11. S. Chilton, jun., of Wash- ington, officiated as referee, ea B. Mao- 0ormack end James Doyle performed the dutise of judges at the turning buoys. The race was rowed in the harbor owing to the heavy water ou the lake and was two miles with three turns, At the word go both men caught the water almost simultaneously, O'Connor, if anything, having alightly the advantage and he gradually forged ahead until he was abottt half a length in front of his opponent. This position was not materially changed for the first half mile, both linen having to bend to work, owing to the heavy swell and sbiff head wind. O'Connor, after he bad got the lead, settled down to shirty -five strokes to the minute and Loa ran itis stroke up to thirty-eight in an effort to lessen the lead. At the turn O'Connor slightly increased his lead and maintained that position for the remain- der of theme, finishing a little over a length in front. Tisne, 12 min. 50 sea.

Ronenums.--Tho people of Gerrie are considerably alarmed over a series of petty robberies and safe -creaking which has been going on ih this vicinity during tho past wools. On Thursday night of last week the pont office store at New- bridge was entered, when a quantity of goods and $83 worth of postage stamps were stolen.

Another at- tempt was made in Gerrie en Saturday night or early Sunday morning, and W. J. Green's shoe storm had a largegnantbty of shoos stolen therefrom, The general store of W. J.
