Mr. Roy Las been "suspended frpm his charge. A few days afterwards a meeting of Mr. R.oy'_congregHlion was held for the pjirpose of organizing a new, church. A document was read adopting the Congregational form of government. The terms of ad mission iuto the Church are : A .simple requirement' that applicant ; desired to flee from the -#vrath to* come, atid felt a desire to work out the conviction of a new faith. It was moved and yarned that the name of the" new church Joe the "Wejjley:- Oongrejjational Church. After tbe principles of the new church had been' read afid signed; . by 04 persons, mi iiivitf-.tion was extended to Rev.

People sometimes wonder' wby good teachers can seldom be iu- drijed to remain long-in one place. "We nSeci not be astoniabed .(wlien we notice tho gpneral tpn8eney iintoug^ trustees to lower salaries rather thm raise them. 'Young and inexperienced men often get as giod: positions and salurieK as those who have been engnged for years at teichi'ng. v As a' natural sequence a good teacher's highest ambition is .to quit the profession tw soon uspossi- 7,ble. He thinks by adopting some other profession, orgoing iii._busi- est lie may possibly increase his veai-ly earaingB; but he knows he cmnoi havo an increase iu siilnry if fi^ teach for twenty years. The j ter results" iie-.peniicioiis in the ex-' ^u tor, be forfeited and forthwith seired and broken by him, without suit or other authority than this Act..' "With regard to the above it is only necessary to add that the "expiration of the tirne appointed under- this" "Act" tftkes place on the 30th June;next. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes is of tbe opinion that the present u rather a good time to live in. In his address to tbe Boston Micros copical Society, delivered a short time since,| he said : " To men of iny generation this modem world, which most of-you take as a blat ter of course, it being the only con dition'of things of which you had experience] is a source of wonder, a bu qding niirucla. Science and art have in our time bo changed the aspect, of ejveryday life ;that one of a certain age might well believe himself oil another planet or in another stage of existence./- The" wand of Prometheus is in our match-boxes; tbe rock of iZoreb gushes forj.h its streams io our dres sing-rooms' ; the carpet of Arabian story is spread in our Pullman car; our words] flash from continent to continent;; our very accents are transmitted.from city to city ; tbe elements J of forming worlds are analyzed in our laboratories ; ano!, most wonderful and signitieunt ~of all, the dij-Kpotic reign of tradition has receivjed its death-blow, when the angel |of aiifEsthesia' lifted from wpman-h(>od the worst terrors of the primdl malediction." A Dying JUau's Address. At Sandwich, on Tuesday, tbe 22d instt, Austin Humphrey suf fered the extreme penalty of the law for the murder of F. Appel. a few months ago in Windsor. Ho confessed bis guilt, arid or. the fatal scaffold,inads the following address: " 1 ani: now on the scaffold to pay -)tha last pe/ialty of .the law, and I (bless God that be has seen fit to pardon me and to wash.my sins away. I feel that my sentence is, just, and I want to warn you .alU uiy dear friends, never, never t^ touch the intoxicating cup. It was ull: through" liquor I came here; Oh ! my friends, as you value your lives, leave that cup alone; never? touch, taste, nor handle. It baa; done more barm tban all other* things put together, and has been the iuiri .of thousands, as it has been of me. May God have mero-y upon me and give me grace I" It will be remembered that at tile time Humphrey committed the deed he was under the influence of strong dri.uk. Are not the warn ings plentiful and featfiil of the terrible doings of intoxicating U' ; Pen airil Scissor Selects. Ffcrty-two buililinga were de stroyed by tho WAlfcerton flro-of Monday. ' - A drunkon- Frenchman fejl down a hotel sUtra, in. Hitmilton, on Friday last, and was kilfed. ?" - The Governor of Utah has p- plied to WttMmigtGii for tixwps in viow of tlnv MoV'mon; t,xoiteinont. - Official news ha>t Leon reoeived at Winnipeg that the garrison will not la> maintained after August. Oit Friday, Elizabeth Furman was drowned in a well on the promises occupied by hor mother on Main street, Humilton. -The Almonte Furniture Com pany havo suspended operations, forfeiting their claim to the 910,- 000 bonus from tho village. ' The GovernorOenernl's visit to' Manitoba and the North West will probably take place in the first week in August. Ovor forty places of business atf Walkorton were destroyed by firo on Monday, the loss entailed reaching a hundred' thousand dol lars. At a: mooting of tho temper- aneo people of Toronto, n report in favor of-the submission of the Dun- kin Act to the ratepayers was adopted. - The Pacific Mail steamship Vitij of Stiji Frum itco is a total ljias. having struck a sunken rock off the Mexican coast. The passengers aud crew were saved. The Licensed Victuallers of Wellington jam taking active iuea>- ures to prevent the subniission of the Duukin Act by the council cif that" county. A debating society has decided that " loyo" is more powerful than " money." This is probably true, but ham and eggs cost thirty cents a plate, ho matter how much you love them. "Five. Boston, confectioners have been indicted for. adulterating candy with chromat^ of lead and other injurous substances." We don't suppose jthoy will be candied enough to udmit the 'offence. A Trade Union case has been decided in Montreal, in which the memoc-a ot a stonecutters' associa tion were mulcted inj500 damages and costs for iniiptritijr against a non-uuion fellow-workman. The Toronto Telegram comes out squarely for an immediate ab andonment of the Canada Pacific. Railway. It must bo admitted that our contemporary makes out a strong argument for its view. P. T. Barnum, the veteran showman, is again on his rounds with fresh additions to hia mena gerie and circus. He is at present showing atMontreal, on bis progress westward, and is billed fpr.tbe 8th and 9th of Jane in Torouto. There is now serious talk at Washington of the formation of a third party, to be composed of the more moderate members of the old -parties who would be willing to take a new departure. 'The new body woujd be known aa the ') National fUnion" party. Oscar'II. of Sweden has asked in marriage for Lis son the hand of tbe Princess Charlotte, eldest daughter of the Prince Imperial of Germany, but as it has already been promised to the Duke of ilein- intjen tbe alliance with the royal family of Sweden cannot take place. P. T. Barnum has taken hold of the Charlie Ross matter, and will find him if any body can.' With tbe consent of tbe father, he has offered a reward of $10,000 for the recovery of the boy; and "no questions asked." The condition is that if recovered Barnum will have Charlie as an addition to his show. - It is estimated that at least 300,000 pilgrims will visit Rome during the jubilee of the fiftieth year of the episcopate of the Pope. It is supposed that each-of those pilgrims will give to the Pope at least 10, making a total of $3,000,- 000.-, Add to this the amount that will be sent by the churches, and the sum may reach $20,000,000. -^-A great number of .'Russian ladies in St. Petersburg have pledg ed themselves mutually, neither to wear silk nor satin nor costly orna- niencK, nor to give balls, nor to indulge in other luxuries during the present Avar, but to -devote the money which they would otherwise have Epent upon such objects to the nursing of the sick and wound ed of their country. ^Some of our exchanges are wrestling with the old, old problem' that baa puzzlad tho heads of the steady-minded and virtuous for ages. They ask, " How is it that there is a class of-young and old men in almost every town in tbe country, who toil not, neither do they suw.'wood, and yet drink more beer and wear better clothes than those who work six days in the week?" ," The sports of Cornwall on the -24th; were nmri'ed by the occur- rencH of a fearful accident, which resulted from the competition in Hammer throwing. A girl aged thirteen years, named Ellen Kavan-j agh, (was struck on the head and instantly killed by a hammer thrown by R. R. McLennan, the nharariion of the world. No blame dan be attached to' Mr, McLennan, as tho- hanimor- landed within tha ring. ;: : Nussngawcya Council.

Non^Ortliodox. The Rev. J. Roy, Methodist min ister, of Montreal, baa been expel* led fiom the Methodist connexion for what has been regarded aa non- orthodox. This case in somewhat similar to that of the Rev.-J. Mac- donald, of Toronto, who was ar raigned before the Presbytery fpr expressing even a thought that " final restitution" would l>e the ha]>py lot of sinners sometime in the remote future. Prof. Swing, another Presbyterian minister, of Chicago, and a Very eminent man, was bIbo similarly dealt with for holding and expressing opinions at variance with accepted doctrine. Cases -of this nature occasionally spring up in a land, of enlighten ment, and where civil and religious liberty is under no restraint, and all such promulgators of a new? faith, - or rather of a freedom of thought, find sympathizers among the masses. We frequently find nien of independent character and active temperament who refuse to be bound by the opinions and doc trines which good men of Old thought perfect, cle*r and absolute, yet at-the same time no man has a moral right.to remain in cdnrlection with any christian church' whose principles of' faith and,: essential doctrines he does not regard as cor rect or true. It would "be better indeed if mere dogmatism did not so much aSBert itself, for in nearly every case christian ministers and people caA find sufficient to agree .upon to employ all the time and talent at their disposal ; and would it not he wiser to cherish their ac cepted virtues and principles than to spend the energies in magnifying tho points of difference and dis agreement, while infidelity, skepti ci8in and error take- advantage of the circumstances, Bpread and take root under the very, shadow of the cross itself? ! A Modec Speech. Tho corres pondent of ah Jnglisb journal cites tho following us a model speech ftir dinners attended by a bishop :or two. Ho says he heard it niade himself a yoar far two..ago : "My Lord Bishop of Gloucester nnd Bris tol, and you, my Lord Bishop of Bath nnd Wells, and you, my Lord Bishop of Sudor and Man I have much pleasure in' supporting tho resolution which you, my Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol proposed, and you, my Lord Bishop of Bith and Wolls; seconded. My' lords, I had the honor, a year or two ago; of breakfasting with my friend the Lord Bishop of Gibraltar, and, my lords, |I asked hirt Lord ship, in tho confidence of private friendship, whut.jho thought of this socieiy. And what, my Lord Bis liop of Gloucester and Bristol, and you, my Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, and you, my Lord Bishop ofSirlorand Man, do you think his Lordship's answer was? Ho said, my lords, * I think it a very good society.' And so, my lords, .do I." And he sat down. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. T IIK EXCHANGE U<TEL, AOTON.
