purposes, church extensious and missioas. The Methodist denomination, with more commnicauts thao any other denomin- ation in America, has always made its glorious aim to care for the poor and obscure. In its hundred years of ser- vico in this country it has brought its powerful influence to the remotest corn- ers of the land and 1s worthy of the great- est commendation for its energy and devotion.”’

—A new colonization society has been formed in connection with the Church of Ragland, the operations of which are to have their field partly in our Northwest. The Church Colonization Society,limited, will purchase land in the Northwest territories of Canada and in the Aus- tralian colonies. One important feature in its plan of working will be the setting apart of one-tenth of the amount sub- secribel as an endowment for religious provision for the emigrants. Special efforts will be directed towards the promotion of emigration among laborers and other persons likely to be most benefited by settling on the society’s laods, They will, on arrival, be assist- ed in the erection of dwellings and the furnishing of~their farms with imple- ments. Canada offers peculiar advan- tages to that class of emigrants, and it is pleasant to know that its claims are well supported in the society’s prospectus. Persons of high position and influence are connected with the movement.

—How immigration retarps are made by United States officials is shown by a sworn statement from Charles Irvine, formerly Deputy Collector of Customs at! Fort Graiter vader the United States Government, which was read before the Dominion Parliamentary Committee of Agriculture, a few days ago. The accuracy of the figures supplied by the Washington authorities as showing the immigration Canadians into the United States has been questioned by the Dominion Government, and the disclosures made by Irvine’s statements have attracted considerable at- tention, He states that uo |

A Small Piece of Business.

Tue action of the Opposition party in the Legislative Council, yesterday, io di-missing the messenger Mr. Chaisson, was simply disgraceful. Mr.Chaisson was appoiuted last session by the same party, who have now dismissed him, and has discharged his duty to the entire satis- faction of the Council. He has now been dismissed so as to give Mr. B. Rogers an opportunity of gratifying his spite agaiast Mr. L. Kickham, because that gentleman would not lend himse'fto be used as a tool in Roger’s hands. There is avother cirenmstance connected with Chaisson’s dismissal, which deserves to be noticed. The self-constituted leader ef the Oppo- sition ia the Council approached thie supporters of the Government with the suggestion that an exchange of places should be made by the Council between the messenger McBeath and door-keeper Chaisson. To this proposition the Gov- ernment supporters agreed ; but as soon as McBeath was appointed to fill Chaisson’s place as messenger, another man was proposed for door-keeper avd elected by the casting vote of the Presi- dent. Rogers’ bad faith in this case, shows that he is not to be trusted in even the smallest matter. We are surprised that respectable members of the Oppo- sition in the Council should allow them- selves to be made parties to such conduct asthis, aud that the President who is usually expected to hold the balance between parties with impartiality, should give the casting vote to the Opposition in support of so small and contemptible a motion.

Is this a sample of the Statesmanship of the Grit majority in our House of Lords? A trusty faithful officer of the Council is dismissed, although he has not voted or interfered in an election since his appointment, but simply to aunoy a member of the Council who is a friend of Mr. Chaisson’s. Surely it is time that the Grit party in the Upper House should look to their credit. The pretentious person who arrogates to himself the position of leader, holds his seat in the Council by a minority of votes in the district which he misrepresents. The

for the support of their families, is being largely signed. A law of this kind is a necessity. There are macy women who are able to make a living for them- selves and families, who have speodthrift aud worthless husbands, who coutract debts which they are not able, or never intend, to pay. These women work night aod day to support their families,and accumulate a little wealth, while their husbands idly look on. But immediately the wealth accumulates,the husbands contract debts, ther creditors press their claim, and de- prive the wives and families of the hard earued comforts. These are real hardships and we hope our Legislature. while giving due attention to the fraud, which iu Many cases as above cited may arise, will pass a law which will remedy the evil complained of, during the present Session.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

-_-—_--~»>- —

S1r,—In his letter, published by you on Tuesday, your rev. correspondent, Guy de Montgomerie, M. A., in endeavoring to palliate his terrible expose respecting Dar- wins work, says that he lent the book itself to a gentleman whom ke met at the Diocesan meeting, and who informed him it would be of nse to him in preparwg a paper o Primeval Man, ‘‘and that the book had noi been retarned tohim.’”’ Now, of this I had grave doubts, and on enquiry of the gentle- man referred to, I find that the above state- ment is entirely without foundation, and fabulous, and that there is not a particle of truth init. Has his mind been disturbed by losses at the late fire, or is he a mere myth ora fraud? At all events he has ‘‘got from the frying-pan into the fire,’ and in this uncomfortable situation we must leave poor Guy Fauks Montgomerie.

Yours truly, Pre Bono Pvs.ico,

Ch’town, March 6, 1884.

(From the Suminerside Journal.)

We much regret to learn that Rev. Neil McKay is again contined to his house. While suffering severe pain, we are glad to know that his illness is not considered dangerous.

We regret to hear that a valuable hovae, owned by Mr. James Heffel, ran away on Friday last, and injared huaself so badly that it is improbable he will ever recover his position as a fast trotter. We sympa- thize with Mr. Heffel in his misfortune, as the horse was a promising animal.

Peter Murphy, employed by Mr. Henry Scales on his farm in St. Eleanor’s, while being lowered down a well on Monday last, fell a distance of fifty feet to the bottom, owing to the breaking of the rope. Ail- though considerably shaken, we are glad to ‘learn that he sustained no severe injuries.

Several instances have been brought to our notice where persons have narrowly es- caped drowning by falling into holes in the "ice made by mud-diggers, and whieh have | been left unmarked, We trust that more care will be exercised in future, otherwise it way be necessary to call the Law into requisition.
