It is seldom that congratulations and regret am so inextricably associated as in the appointment of Rey. w, E.

At a meeting of the Baptist Home Mission cmmnitlee in Toronto on Thursday last, Rev. Mr. Norton was enderad and atwepted the position nocupiud by the Rev. J. P. Mvaen and will etttsat' on his Juties".about, the first of June next. While congratulating Mrech'orton on his "ppointtuent, his congregation Jeeplv regret that the tie that, has hound them togethvr for the past eight. years in a. most harmonious relationship is to he severed, and as the reverend gentleman was popular among the peoplu of H't-ry denomination, the Bap- tists are far from being alcme m regrett- ing his removal. Mr. Norton ‘cnme to Owen Sound from Georgetown. and his predecessor in the position he goes to fill was also at one time pastor of the church here. Under Mr. Norton's ministry the con- gregation has prospered to such an ex- tent.that all arrangements have been made to erect a handsome new church. and it is hoped his removal will not in- terfere with the project. Who his successor may he has not yet been decided.

FATAL Foorususws,s.-The following from an exchange shows the necessity of safeguarding, life from religious cranks: "Mrs Jas. Gardiner, of the fourth concession of West Luther, about fire miles from here. died at her home last week. it is claimed, by sheer neglect, and lunch indignation has been expressed. Indeed, so much that the hurts have been placed in the hands of County Crown Attorney Peterson. who has ordered an investigation to be made by High Constable Merryweather. The facts appear to he as follows: -About 12 days before her death Mrs James Gar- diner gave birth to achild. there being neither nurse nor doctor. present. The mother, as a. consequence, WM not properly attended to, and she was quite properly attended to, and she was quite ill, but as the family belonged to a sect of some kind which is averse to employ- ing doctors, no medical man Was sent for. and the mother (lied of septic poisoning. leaving a funnly of sen-n small children. It is mid she (-xpl‘v<sed a desire to have a doctor called in a. leW nights before her death, and that, her husband pomised to. secure one next morning if she then insisted. Next morning Wm, Gardiner, brother of the husband, and who was a. sort of pram-her among the sect, called and on living requested, agreed to get a doctor, but, it is alleged. made the stipulation that the horse must take the. right road through God's direction. He started ( n the trip, but the horse turned " the ‘med into a place he had been in the heliit of going to. and the doctor wan not procured. Subsequently the poo: Women died in grant agony.” REV. W.

THE DURHAM REVIEW ACROSS THE CONTINENI‘) FOR SIXTY CENTS 1 "In February, 1792, congress fixed} the following rates of postage, which prevailed," says Postmaster General Smith, "with slight variations. for half a century: For every single letter not, exceeding 30 miles. It cents; over SI) miles and not exceeding oo miles, 8i cents; hetween60and 100 miles. 10 cents; 100 to 150 miles. 121, cents; IN to idil miles, 15 cents; 200 to 250 miles, 17 cents: 250 to 350 miles. 20 cents; MO to 'ii/ miles, 22 cents: over 450 miles, 25 cents. This is quite an interesaing schedule. By ‘single letter' is meant a single sheet of paper. If in writing a. letter two sheets were used, double rates were chitrged: for three sheets triple rates If a letter contained more than three sheets it he- cmne u. packet, and for every packet, weighing one ounce four times the rate paid for a single letter was charged. Sothst when General Washington at his home in Mount Vernon. wrote to Hancock or Adams at Boston, if his letter contained four sheets, the. post- age was 81 in coin. Two cents will now carry it letter to any part of the United States.” No doubt our forefathers would have looked with incredulous eye" upon the latter statement had some fellow pru~ pounded it to them, No doubt you will be a little incredulous when I tell you that passengers in the United States can he carried from any noth in the country to any place within its boundaries, reached by railroads, for less than sixty cents. Bounds unreasonable does It not? But it was done last year and the year and the year before. Listen: In 1800, according to the reportof the interstate Conunerce Commission. just issued. the milmads carried 523,176,508 prssengers, for which service $291,112,933 were charged. A simple exmnpla in division will prove that. the average price for each ticket was a little less than fifty. sevrn cents. In other words, if ,",the railroads had charged a uniform rate of sixty cents for every ticket, sold, the in- come from this source would have ex- ceeded that received under the present arrangement. of so much per mile.
