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 be the happy lot of sinners sometime in tbe remote future.- Prof. Swing, another Presbyterian minister, of Chicago, and a very eminent man, was also similarly dealt with for Lolding 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 rafher of a freedom of thought, find sympathizers among tbe masses. Wo frequently find men of independent character and active temperament who" refuse to be hound by the opinions and doc trines which good men-of old thought perfect, clear and absolute, yet at the same time no man has a moral right to remain in connection 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 assert itself, for in nearly every case christian ministers and people can find sufficient to agree upon to employ all the time and talent at their disposal ; and would it not bo wiser to cherish their ac cepted virtues and principles than to spend the energies in magnifying the points of difference and dis agreement, while infidelity, skepti cism and error take advantage of the circumstances, spread and take root, under .the very Bhadow of the cross itself?

They are the old form of " fours," in which the. vignette represents a farmyard with horses, pigs, etc., in the foreground. On the left of. the bills is a picture of Prince Arthur. The engraving is dark and coarse. The signature " W. H. Howland " on the left is .written in the original, but in the bogus bill it is engraved. The lath work surrounding tho figure 4 on the right side is poorly executed and the numbering is badly done. Today is inauguration day of the city of Brantford. E XECITORS' NOTICE.
