Nov QUITE CORRECT.—Th your issue Of Sept. 21st there is a report of a resolution passed by Duff's thumb that is not ex- aotly carrot. I believe in saying nice things but I want the truth told and n few members should not take it upon thmneelvoe to bo the mouthpiece for the congregation, Certainly the pastor has not filled the bill to the extent ntated, 0.o I understand nearly thirty families were very uneottled and those who have not left the church would have done ro bad the rolatiooebip not bean savored. Ours may be a peculiar congregation to suit but I dent believe there will be any dif- ficulty in securing an "under shepherd" who will do the work bettor. 1 believe the move will be for the good of Duff's rhurel,.

Mr. Hopkins on oath stated that be test- ed milk at the Newry factory on the 28th of August last when the defendants milk showed 18;o water and 7e, cream. On 99t1 of August went with Robb. Morrison and saw the defendant's cows milked at his piece and tested it with same laato tactor when ib stood at 90, the standard of good milk, on 29th Aug., defendant's milk showed 18% water at factor•• and on the Oth September it showed' 00%, good milk, Robt. Morrison corroborated the fact of the inspectors statement ; Mary Morrison, who is oboeee•maker at the Newry factory, proved that the milk tested belonged to defendant and stated that the milk sent to the factory for the six days previous to August 30th averag- ed 183 lbs. and for the six days follow- ing Aug. 30th, 118 lbs. per day, on the morning of the 29th showed 149 lbs. but on the Slat, 110 lbs. The defendant on oath said : There was some diffionlby between myself and Mr. Dewar, and some parties broke down oar stand- The mornings mentioned when the milk ma tested were foggy. I think some one must have pub water into the milk, the milk was kept in a email enclosure near the house over night and brought to the stand in the morning. Geo.. John De- laney, defendant's hired boy said he nsaally put the milk into the can but never pet any water in. There might have been water put in without his know- ledge.

The bats annual meeting of the Bnto- mologicel Society of Ontario, held in Ottawa, was one of more than usual in. threat. The study of insects is ono of lamellar value to agriculture, seeing the great ravages that aro sometimes com- mitted by them upon the crops. The knowledge of their li'e history and habits enables man to combat them and mitigate the ruin whish they are so often the cause of. The labors of the Society, therefore, aro among the most commend. able of all the soientilo work carried an under Government auspices ; and few branches of agrioulbural inquiry deserves more support from the looal Government than that relating to the ineoob world. It is gratifying to obeeevo that the Hon, Mr, Drury, ulster of Agrioulbnro for Ontario, was present at the mooting in question, and took a deep interest in the proceedings. In his address to the team. berg Mr, Drury said that "his principal object in attending was to show the doop interest the Government whieh lie repre- sented took in the work of the entomolo. gists. Ho aahcl it was a science worthy of the oonsicloration of the people, and 0.g the results wore given freely to the people lie could not help ntanifostinghie intorost in the Asaooiation."

He was thrown out, and one of the wheals struck him on the bead, completely scalping him. The skin wag born clean off the top of his head, and at the bark hung by a thread. The Galt correspondent to the Globe of Oct. 11th says : There is nothing new to report in oonnaction with the poison - fog mystery today. There are rumors in the sir whioh are, to say the least, startling, and with the agencies now at work the denouncement may take place at any moment. The exsitoment has been greatly intensified by the result of Prof. Ellie' analysis of the candies sent to Mrs. Ridley, which demolished the theory entertained by so many that the sending of the package to the rectory was intended as a blind. There can no longer be any doubt that the amide ars residents of the town, and there are those who do not hesitate to assert thea when the veil ie lifted the revelations will be the most astounding that have over been brought to light in Canada. While your correspondent is not inclined to plane much reliance upon all the idle rumors that have obtaited oredence, there is a feeling in the air that the solution of the mystery may implicate some who cow hold their heads erect. The tongue of scandal, which never rests, is busy with the case, and were the mystery confined to two families eneteed of three it would be loss diffianit of solution. The criminals —and there must have been more than one—have shown great skill in covering their tracks, but with the machinery now at work it is believed that it ie only a question of a few days when the chain of evidence will be so compete° that they cannot escape.
