DEAR FRIEND ALEX..
I heard some of the Directors of
the Stephen & Osborne Agricultural
Society make a remark recently that
they were tired of your services as a
secretary and that they intended to
appoint a new secretary and treasur-
er at their next meeting. ' Aa a
friend and a member of the society I
would warn you to put in your resige
nation at the next meeting as the
majority of them are finding fault
with both of you as,sthey say you are
both too careless.
FROM YOUR FRIEND.
We, the undersigned Directors of
the Stephen & Usborne Agricultural
Society, do hereby declare that the
foregoing is false in every particular,
also wish to intimate to the friend of
A. G. Dyer, that having known him
for twenty years as secretary of this
society, express our utmost confid-
ence in him as such secretary, having
found him in all things in connection
therewith oapable and trustworthy.
Signed, John Delbridgt, Sam Sanders,

The lecture by Rev. W. Mc-
Donagh was in every respect one of
the grandest efforts ever listened to
in Hotmesville. It was a success in
the large attendance, in the order
kept, in the finances, in the music,
in•the good chairman,• in the subject
and matter of the lecture. The
subject was : The reason of our pro-
test against the church of Rome.
The lecturer said something like the
following which is a mere fraction
of fuller report received too late fo -
this issue :—Protestantism does not
force any one to worship against
the dictates of their conscience.
The Church of Rome forces all it
can to worship in its way, and will
not tolerate any other form of
worship if it can prevent it.
Against this we protest. Toleration
was never allowed until the reign
of William III. Those who say
different are slanderers of Protest-
antism. The law of the land now
is that none can interfere with the
ri ht of others to worship as they
please. The lecturer eaid he had
no di ute with Romaniste as in-
dividuals, but he protested against
their ayetem. Those who do not
protest against that system• are not
Protestants—are not Christians—
are not Mothodiete—are not Angli
cans—are not Presbyterians, etc.
