Yours, Eugems, July 20. Prasaxt. The crops look exceptionally good this year, especiz!y the fall wheat, which is now being cut. The haying, which was in full blast, has been suepended by the late heavy rains, which will no doubt injare it to some extent. Mr. A. Crauston, music tercher, has a class started at Crawford and also in the school house near there. He has in both places upward of 70 pupils, and seems to get along well with the young people. 4 Yours, &c., Barn raisings are all the rege in Bentinck this year, and it seems indispensible that Maleolm Livingstone ‘and Jolhn Carapbeli should be Captains. _ Malcolm bad the pleasure of being victor at the raisings unâ€" til last Thursday, at John MeLean‘s, when we had the opportunity of witnessing a vieâ€" tory for John. Some of the other side who profess nudaunted religious fortitude and an unswerving attachment to all the rules required of a true Christian, were so overâ€" come by their defeat that the old nature burst out, and there was heard a torrent of oaths and a desire to display strength, not collectively, but personally and individualâ€" ly. However this "fuss" was soon suppresâ€" ed and all quietly dispersed. Although J. C. went home with torn clothes, still, he was as happy as a lord over his victory. Daniel Spry, Esq., P. O. Inspector, held an investigation into some alleged charges made by Joseph MceArdle, Esq., Postmastâ€" er, Hopeville, against Thomas Johnston, mail carrier.

Johnson, teâ€" ing a very obliging man, helped Mr. Mc. to "right" himself and in so doing discovâ€" ered a tug broken. He supplied a piece of leather which Mc. says belonged to a mail bagâ€"hLence the cause of the complaint. The whole affuir Lappened two years ago. It is really too bad to annoy a man the way Jolhinson has been troubled since he got the contract. The service has never been so effectuaily performed before.

I had a notion of giving you my own opinions, erude as they are, on these matters. But I do not forget what the poet has said "That a liitle learning is a dangerous thing," and when I see how our most learned and accomplished scholars differ so much on these high matters, it would seem presumptuous on my part to enter the controversy. And I am sure your readers will agree with me. We lay folks may have our likes and dislikes, but when it comes to questions Scriptural and antiâ€"Scriptural, as regards matters upon which the protoundest thinkers of the age are very far from being agrecd, it really becomes ordinary persons to bate their breath. I will therefore just now only thank you for your kinduess. mm Yours truly, "J way or another, religious behets and religiâ€" [u practice seem to be engrossing more atâ€" tention, and exciting more discussion than any other department of human thought or T action,not even excepting the field of pokitics itself. It is not only that the first princiâ€" )p!uofnligloutruthmnovbuu called The staid old Town of Darham has had its own share of the turmeoil, and 1 hbear that the Presbyterian Kirk with you, has suffered _ severely over the organ question. From all accounts, however, it is not only with you that instrumenâ€" tal music in public worship is a bone of contention. For some time it has been agitating the Irish Presbyterian Church,and at the last General Assembly of that body it proved the cause of a great storm which almost split the Church in two. A few of its congregations were in the habit of using the organ, and this formed so great a stumblingâ€"block in the way of other brethâ€" ren, notably Dr. Robb, late of Toronto, that a proposition was made in theAssembly to remove it entirely, and that the offendi=g congregations, failing to comply with this order, be dealt with: according to the rules of the Chureh. This motion was supported by nearly oneâ€"half of the members, but finâ€" ally milder counsels prevailed, and h moâ€" tion recommending the discontinuance of instrumental music for the sake of pesce was carried unanimously. A good many plain things were said in the course of the discussion. Mr. MeNaughton, of Belfast, in what must bave been a very impassionâ€" ed specch, implored the brethren to let the wretched, drivelling question alone, and give themseives more Leartily to the cause ‘ of the Gospel, and Dr. Robb warued the Ass»mbly that this might be the thin edge ‘ of the wedge which would blight and deadâ€"| en the Church, as had been of old the exâ€" perience of the Church of Rome. 1 _ _Mr. Eptror®,â€"I think you will agree With me in thinking that the particular day in which we live will be regarded in future years as the "theological" day.
