ED1ToIt,-Allow me, as a disinterested o')8erger, to express my pleasure at the man- ly `stand taken by Rev. John Gray, in the late discussions. I can easily understand the unpleasantness of taking up discussions of this kind, aucl know that the other minis- ters of town are just as sincere advocates of sound doctrine in general religious teaching as he, so that I make, no reflection on then iu complimenting 11Ir. Gray. IIis course, I believe, is endorsed by a large number, re- gardless of denomination, and I thick it only right to give expression to that sentiment. -- I remain, yours, &c., OBSERVER. __...— AN INQUIRY. • Editor of the Clindon New Era. - Deem SIR, -As sd much bas been said con- cerning the town band and their actions of late, I inquire, in the interest of myself and .many citizens, "If the band is a public or ganization in the interest of town, or is it an organization run solely iu the interest of Mr. Kelly?"
