In about ten years they bave worked together in harmony, the minister residing in Moorefield and preaching in Dravton in the afternoon. The Drayton station has in the meantime prospered to such an | extent that they feel able to maintain a |\ minister of their own and at the meetâ€" | ing of the Committee of Presbytery | held there on Tuesday they presented | a bona fide subscription list amounting ‘ to $914, out of which they promise to | pay a salari of $800 to a minister along | with a free house, â€" Moorefield in like manner presented a subscription list of ‘$650 and desire to haye this suppleâ€" \ nmented hy a grant from the au%menta- tion committee, with the hope that in a , short time they too will be able to stand alone. Moorefield has agood manse and tine sheds, all clear of debt. Drayton ‘has no manse but hopes to secure a euitable rented house for a home till , tbey are able to build. We wish all ‘ success to the new congregation thus auspiciously starting out for the new , year. â€"Com,.

No other name was placed in opposition. Not so the council: Messrs Calder, | Sparling, Kinnee, McGowan, Livingâ€"| stone, McKinnon, Moran, Furneaux, | R McFarlane.
