Dkar Sir, â€" Another g'aring example of municipal parsimony has occurred in Osiirey. One Polly Campbell, a young woman of 21 years, without irionds or any means of support, is an insane epi- leptic. The ratepayers in the neiLdibor- hood signed and presented a [letitioii to the council re(iui-hlin'.' them to get her into an asylum wluiie slio might be cared for and treated. 'J'he Osprcy Council, instead of acting, ii^iinted out to the poti- ti'iiers tlirtt It would cost the large sum of fro or S'lO 10 si'ii.l her direct • lo .iti as^Uiin, but if she wore committed to jail among criminals that it would not cost an}l!iiiij! ai.il they have refused to net. Fill illy, after waiting about a niontli, ihe neighbors hid to swear out an infiirnia- tioii and have her coininitted to jail and from there b : ser.t on to an asylum. This I'oor gill, whose only crime is that llmiUL'li di.seasi! sln! his lost her rciisoii, has to held with the county ciiminals on account of odicial pai simony. Would these oflici.ils who have children fi el happy if one of their daughters were sim- ilarly treutiMl? lu is to 1)0 hi'ped thit this poor girl will not have a lucid period while in jail, and ask Komo visitor why she is heri! mid be told it is on account of the wisdom of the Osprey Council, tiyim; to nave the rich municipality of O.sproy 85 ..r SSIO ! Thii only rehitive she has in the world U an aged wirlowed step-giandniother who feels keenly the aetnui of Ospny Council anil who wept bitterly when fhe found out vvhm I hey were not Q(jing.

The very party diatribuMi g those papers, when attached to another denom- inationâ€"for thoy are well knownâ€" refused to take their church pap>ir, which, for merit and usefulness, compared with Leaves of Healing, is not to he men- tioned. These people are monomaniacs and always have been changeable in their religious selection. Leaves of Healina verily is a misnomer. Did it ever record a case of bealinir small pox, cancer, ty|dioid or typhus fever? Is it rconrded that they ever received into their institution any of the contavious diseases ? Tlie answer is No. Such is beyond their limit. There was one case ol iiceideiital liurning, Dowie's own daugh- ter, for whom out of humanity's pity treating by orthodox iinthods ind a doc- tor was Oinpioyed. But it wa.< the devil's Work â€" so .said this self appointed Elias. What a specimen of a seventy times seven proven impostor ! "Leaves of Henlii.g!" Should it not deliiie tihe cases to be healed !
