We have just received a letter from Dr. Farquharson, who wrote us from Quebec, Where he holds the 1'.H'.".$iti0n of Chaplain in a mission for immigrants and returning sol~ diers, supported by the Presbyter- ian.

We can readily agree with his closing paragraph, in which he says: “The battered and broken men returning from the war will give our whole commun- ity subjects for the exercise of all our kind ministries for many a day to come." Owen Sound is having a Dollar Day Sale, and the merchants are :‘u‘lvertising extensively in the town papers. This is now an annual oc- currence with Owen Sound mer- chants, and it must be a paying scheme or it would not be repeated. Many places have an annual Dollar Day» Sale, and we fancy a lot of out of season stutf could be disposed of in that way in almost any town. It would be worth a trial in Dur- ham, and if introduced for once, we are quite sure it. would be reâ€" coated with success. We notice that The Chatsworth'; News is finding fault with Inspector Burgess because the Entrance Re:â€" sults had not been received in Chatsworth until after they were published in the Owen Sound papâ€" ers. We can scarcely imagine Mr. Burgess making fish of one and flesh of another and fancy the deâ€" lay must have had some reason.
