somewhat riled at "C.'M. Goit" last

intern to scare you opt when we wrote
that article but merely corrected your
error. You being a very strict mem
ber of the M. H. Church would natur

you think olherwbe when one of your
strictly temperance nu n deals ou; the

and to try the diiTcrnit brands, but
s'.il! he says for some time past our
quiet little town has Went un.h r the
name of a temperance tovn etc. So it
has, but saying so don't make it so.
Let us hear from you again.

assumes the lictitious'nanie of "Swam

but the people are largeand numerous.
Where they all come fioni is hard to
led, but t'i'i.y are hero every lime.
Yo arc having some excellent meet
ings here. A good number have been
eon v'erte I, some black ami more white.
Wo hare taken as the result of our
nmtings thus tar !'f.y-one into the
church ' end a grout many tramicd
owr. The good people at this point
havobui.ta lino parsonage since we
came here, it comprises nine fine
rooms and a good cellar. It has three
fireplaces or" grates for burning soft
coal (belter coal than E. K. G. brags
so much about.) The earth is full of
coal here, they deliver it at live cents
per bushel. 'Pork Is four cents per
pound (Unit is to the preacher seven
cents to sinners), and beef live cents,
everything else accordingly, except re
ligion, that is free. Tiny have paid
us s; 1 1 -j on our salary. V.'e could have
stood t wice as much and not backslid,
nevertheless, they hoarded us from the
lime we left Kidgway until the Mb
day of January, without cost ; that is
tons, n A t'i cVi'i i Well, finally, we
arc having a good time, wo are done
boarding around among l lie scholars,
and living at home. It costs more
this way, not xo far, for they have
bought ami presented us with nearly
everything we have used, and we
have sevi ral bants, cabbage, tipples,
barrel of potatoes and stick of buck
wheat Hour to fall back on, and ibis
day a man brought me two ten gal
lon kegs of cider fur vinegar. Now
see Itelo .U. ivnior, ,i "ii neen not
throw up your hands and look so wise,
it will all go, well nearly all, into viu
egar! - Oh ! I forget to tell you about the
four fine turkeys which have been
sent in sinee we moved into our now
bouse. Then, Mr. Editor, one Bro.,
a good fellow too, or ho would have
eaten moiiio of them: kept all those
fine clib keits, 21 in number, which
you were coming to see, but did not.
We have eighteen of them yet to fall
back on. Well, we like tho people and
they seem to like us. Long live The
