parades do not affect the rev gentlemans sensibilities aaf much as the quality of the music ren dered on the occasion no doubt the un- meloous din of drums cymbals and hnwinf tamborines grated very harshly on the highly educated and musical ear of the rev gentleman while the excellent music rendered by the acton cornet band even though accompanied by the same drums and cymbals sent a thrill of delight through his righteous soul the realcause of the eev gentleman zeal on the present occasion seems to be the presence of the lords army whose influence he has en deavored to lessen by every means in his power notwithstanding which many of the villagers oot barbarians are now through its instrumentality rejoicing in a knowledge of sfna forgiven from the milton ana we are reminded of a former epistle written by the eev gentleman by which he attained to the unenviable position of champion of the liquor sellers of halton and from ijis present action he would seem to be desir- eos of adding to his former notoriety the zesi exhibited by the bev gentleman on the present occasion reminds us of paul when on his way to damascus hoping that the scales may soon fall from the bev

parade music or refer to some one who did in order to- get a fling at the lords army and justify his condemna tion of their dram parades the whole of this uproar about church parages arises from the narrowintolerantspirit of the gentleman in question towards the lords army aa indicated by his futile attempt to array public opinion against themi which he did by getting up a petition to the council
