Tht Bowmanville Statesmnan accuses THE CHRONICL.E of stealing its items, and then the News of that town turns around and claims that the Statesman first stole the items f rom tht News.

Manning made a visit this week to Scugog Island in tht interest of tht methodist church in that place. For some yeaits back thterinister In charge of tht is- land bas lived lu Port Perry and bas me- ceived 830o a year from tht mission fund as part of bis stipend. Last June ayoung man was stationed on this work, Who boards on the island and who receives ne assistance from tht mission fund. Mr-. Manming's visit- was muade for the purpose of ascertaining if tht people were willing te support an or- dained married man among thiem. Here ports bimself as greatly pleased writh the prospect. Ht fonnd tht church in the pro- cess of a most genuine revival of religion, whicb was reach ing every part of tht island. The young pastor, Rev. Mr-. Mallett, is uni- versaliy popular, and is receiving about $4oo as stipend from tht people, whertas only about $260 were raised for this purpose last year. There are in ail ont hundred and thirteen familles on tht island, and over ninety of these are nominaily methodistA. There are besides about forty indians on tht reserve. Tht missienary socîety pays $ioo a year te tht indian work. But it is hoped that next year the indians will bel p on tht cause of religion bv attending the church at tht foot, along with the white people, thus saving the Sioo to the mission cause. Tht plan which Mm. Manning, the chairman of tht district, proposed, is tu build a pamson- age on the Island, se that tht ,inister cau live among tht people, and te sdIl tht par- sonage now owned lu Port Perry. le this plan tht people aillreadiiy agreed, beiieving it te bt tht only wise course. If Bro. Mal- lett can be heft for another year on this charge there is good hope that by the turne he muet leave for college there will be a par- souage built and furnished and ready for oc- cupaLncy by a vigerous young man and hie bride. AIl tht chutches on tht district wiii rejoice over this matter, and noue wiU be more glad than the islanders thernselves. There la a project on foot for tht strengthen- iug of circuits over the district, of whicb tht Scugog place la. only a part. Ibere are some obstacles i the way, but a uuited ef- fort, and a wide and syrnpathetic vlew of tht whole case may resulttin tht permanent ad- vantage of tht cause of religion lu tht cir- cuits concemned.
