A Putr Tuen Oot FoR KIRKINTILLOCH. — One Sunday alternoon the minister of Kirk- kintillock preached from the text, ‘‘At the last day the trampet shall sound and the

righteous shall rise.’ After the sermon the sexton had agrave to dig, and as he, like a good many other sextons, was fond of a drappis, be took a small bottle of whiskey with him, just to help him through with his work. As the grave progressed the contente of the bottle diminished, At length the sexton succambed and fel! fast asleep in the grave. This was in the days of stage coaches, when they carried the mails; and, as was customary, the guard, on the ar- rival of the coach, sounded the bugle to announce the arrival of the coach, which partly aroused the sexton from his slumbere. Half unconscious and peering over the head of the newly-made grtve, he waa fully cenvineed that it was the lisy trampet that was seund- ing, and thus soliloguized to himeelf:—* ‘Hech me, po a single soul but mysel’!

The Fire Last Night.

THE BASTERN HOUSE DESTROYED- QUICK WORK PERFORMED BY sILSBY

ae midnight the tire alarm was sounded.

aa Cee pe taker: fire, and the : allied to the scene. Silshy

engine, in command of Capt. Hickey, was

_ Prompt to the rescue.” We are are in- formed that five minutes after the alarm was given she had taken a position at McEachern’s tank and was playing on the flames Rollo enyine arrived shortly after- wards, and was sent to supply McKachern’s tank from the tank at the Railway Round

douse, :

_ The fire originated in the kitchen of the Easterr House. The occupants having re- tired, the flames made a considerable ad- vance before they were discovered. In

| Very few minutes they took possession of

the apartment and spread to the roof. Meanwhile the furniture was removed from the different other apartments to the street. Litt's furniture was lost.

Siisby engine and the Hook and Ladder

| Company were now actively at work, and | thoazh the flames, were breaking theough

the roof when the engine commenced, she would doubtless have quenched them in = short time had not a lenyth of hose burst, and thus necessitated a short suspension. The flames, during the time the hose was being replaced, gained rapidly, and spread to a small stable adjoining. When Silsby resumed the fire in the stable was pus out and the flames were confined to the Eastern House. The building was of the heavy- framed old style. It was impossible to ex- tinguish the flames when they had taken posseasion of the heavy log frame, and the house Was, as a consequence, destroyed.

The work performed by Silshy engine was admired by all who observed it, The powerfal stream thrown by her had a telling effect, not only on the flames, but on the walls of the building.

The Eastern House was a good sized one story p tech roof building. It was owned and occupied by Patrick Connolly, Esq. It was insured for $1,600

William Murray, Esq., has the thanks of the firemen for refreshments served after the fire.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

---~>-— - —

Letter from Hon. D. Ferguson. All Hail! religion, maid divine, Pardon a muse so mean a8 mine,

Who in her rough imperfect line, Thus dares to name thee

To stigmatize false friends of thine Can ne'er defame.— Burns,

To the Honorable David Laird, editor of the

Putriot :

Sin,—In your paper of yesterday you charge me with publishing a communication which appeared in THe Examiner of the previous day. In order that others, besides the few who read your paper may have an opportunity of observing your venom and vulgarity, L will quote your article in full.

‘The ‘Unsonnd’ has again been at his tricks of falsification. In the Examiner of last evening he deliberately publishes what pur- ports to be a telegram to Mr. L. H. Davies in regard to piers. It is a deliberate forgery, and the ‘Unsound’ is, no doubt, liable to pains and penalties therefor. We are authorized by the sender of the telegram to say that on application to the Manager of the Anglo- American Telegraph Company the responsible editor of the EXAMINER may have a copy of the origival despatch sent to Mr. Davies. The Unsound’ has already been wounded in front for his insolence, and a boot toe would. seem to be a fitting instrument of punishment for this last offence.”

Now, I need scarcely say that your accusation is false. I neither wrote ner inspired the publication in question, and did net see it until it appeared in Tue Examiner. In this report, however, your conduct is fully in keeping with the treat- rent I invariably receive at your hands Editorially, as well es in what purported to be a summary report of the proceedings of the Assembly, you bave during the present session deliberately and habitually falsified my remarks in the House.

But mendacity is not the only way in which’ your moral obliquity manifests itself. The article quoted above is a fair specimen of your vulgarity. Your open endorsation and recommendation of rowdy- ism and brute force, I will leave you to reconcile with your ostentatious profession of faith in Him who came on earth to promote peace, and good will among men.

In your paper of the 7th of July last, there appeared a report of a speech made by you at a congregational meeting at Sum- merside, which contained the following words :—

“Every Christian should also seek to win recruits to the cause by not merely professing that he has faith, but showing his faith by his works, in doing good to all men as he has opportunity. Putting on a solemn face is net Christian life, but cheerful, gentle, unseltish, dealing with our neighbors, inspired by love te the Naviour; and trust in Him to deliver as not only from guilt but from the power of sin.

These are good words, but how do they accord with your daily conduct, as it is exhibited in the columns of your paper? Taken in connection with your vile and slanderous writings, they display an amount of hypocrisy which {eam glad to say is rarely to be met with. It is notorious that the words which you deliberately put in print, day after day, would, if used in street conversation, render you liable to fne and imprisonment. Should ail men foll w your bad example, and address each other as you do those who differ from you, and openly advise breaches of the peace, the world would become unfit to live in. Were I to describe you in the Press as “David the Traitor,” or *‘David the Dishonest,” or ‘David the Slanderer,” and recommend that you should be once more publicly and contemptuously spit upon, some thoughtless people might ap- plaud me, and I might quote your example as justification; but right-thinking men would feel that my conduct was not in accordance with that ‘’chcerful,

| gentle. unselfish dealing with my neigh- | bor,” such as should be ‘‘insp'red by love

for the Saviour” of the world, and about which you talk so much, while practising the contrary.

On personal grounds I do not complain of yourabuse. In the midst of all your dirt-throwiong and misrepresentation i have the satisfaction of knowing that my popularity with my fellow-country- men bas not diminished, while, not-

one, he assumed than he was thy only rightebus persvu ta the whvlie plavd {]

withstanding all your cant, you are, ay the least tustetl Df ail the publid mep

| Prince Edward Islard, Your vulgarity, hypocrisy and mendacity, serve to in- jure yourself, It is unfortunate, but true, that they are ealculated, at the seme time, to bring discredit on the religion of which you are so blatant a profesor.

Knowing the meanness of your character, I can easily anticipate your reply. You will attempt to shelter yourself behind your church relationship, and pretend that my remarks are intended to be disrespectful to religion. In doing this you can deceive nobody.
