The re-arrangement by Presbytery of the erngregations of Milverton, Welles 'ley, Millbank and Crosshill has caased a good deal of dissatisfaction amiong the members of the latter three eon- gregations. A meeting was held at Milibank last week and a petition was drawn up and largely signed by mem- bers of the congregatiun which will be presented to Presbytery at its next meeting by a°delegation of three, pro- testing against the action 0° that body in acting so hastily. The Wellesley congregatiou has closed the doors of the church and the members attend worship at neighboring churches. Though there has been some dissatis- faction in Crosshill, we understand that the members there are willing to submit tothe new arrangement, pro- vided Wellesley acted in concert with them. The whole matter, however, will likely be threshed out finally at the next meeting of Presbytery, when it is hoped some arrangement can be made suitable to all. Sir Michael Hicks Beach's budget speech created a great sensation in the British Commons Monday, where both the extent of the defieienty and the nature of the new taxes were surprises. Experts had estimated the deficit inac- curately at £20,000,000 or £25,000,000 sterling. It was £26,824,000, and was increased to £45,000, 000 by the sea the close of war. The Chancellor of | the Exchequer declined to tax sugar, tobacco or wine, but added a penuy to the income tax, a penny to cheque stamps, and introduced a three pence registration duty on grain and five pence on flourand meal. After pro- viding £5,150,000 sterling by new tax- -- be proposed a fresh Joan of thirty-two millions, covering the bal- ance by Exchequer bilis. The account of the nations! debt was not so satis- factory. It now stood at £747,806,000, the funded devt now showing. an in- crease of £58,000,900. he cost of the war forthree. years was £165,084,000, but in addition to the hope of repay- ment from the weaith of the Transvaal there was their share in the Chinese indemnity, which was a very 'valuable asset, and 'would probably be deyoted toa reduction of the war debt, The budget speech was a clear evidence that Sir.

Messrs.Blair & Hamilton, Atwood, Ont. have the|' agency for this district of the famous Gem_ Coiled Sprin Wire' Fencing, manufactured at Windsor, nt. A fence built from the eoiled spring wire for borizontal wires, and woven together with medium sized eross wires, is really the only kind of a fence that has always been found satisfactory. The coil is the only perfect master of contraction and expansion. 'The coil spring works both night and day, and keeps the tension at all times right.
