In a rural Prnshvlf r!nn nnnnrkno tion id Iho western section of Canada, the people for various reasons, were desirous of a change in the pastorate. A meeting was called to consider how the desired change could be affected. All were agreed that though the pastor was a learned, laborious, amiable, and excellent man, he was exceedingly tiro ana uninierestiug as a preacher. It was resolved, therefore, that a don. utalion should be gent asking bim to reaigu ins cuarge. no one was ready to undertake the delicate task. At last two elders were induced to go and talk with the minister about the matter.

All were greatly gratified at the prospect of such an amicable arrangement; and fooling some sense of gratitude to tbti minis ter for many years of service.and espec ially for bis ready compliance with their wishes, they determined to pre sent hitn with an address and a purse. A public meeting of the congregation was held, at wliirh tlm nminr n o. :.. vited to be present, an address was read to him containing stroug expres sions of appreciation and gratitude for his manifold labors and of strong personal affection for himself, and the pnrse was banded to I him as a token of their continued esteem. Oil rising to reply, the pastor -was deeply moved, and spoke with a fal- tonus voice, lie stated that, iniluen ced bv the statement of (Vis . ...w biuvia Who had called on him lia darl - w ' . V.

The latest device has just boen exposed through the ef forts of Colonel Hunt, Supervisor of Iateroal Revenue for the Ohio and Indiana district, and consists in using barrels which are manufactured with the two staves opposite the bung about twice as thick as the rest.

The coopers protested their innocence of any intent to de fraud the Government, claiming that tbev were raakincr the barrels strietlr ia accordance with their orders, and suppose J that the thick staves were put iu simply to strengthen the bar relsa view of the matter which the Supervisor could not be inducod to ac cept.
