A correspondent sent us his communication written in copying Ink or Ordinary Ink with sugar in it. Blurred and stuck together so that it was torn in opening it which accounts for any deficiencies our correspondent May notice in his letter when printed.

The Kingston whig makes proud of itself As it were Over the tact that Kingston two years ago not Only set apart but fenced in a lot As a site for a Normal school while London is now Only moving in the matter. Tho London advertiser retorts in manner whig need t brag so much about that Fence. Everybody knows that fences Are necessary Down there to keep Tho cattle from straying upon the land and starving to if such quarrels Are the result of riches we say be such selfish and unseemly contentions Are utterly unknown Between the country papers of Manitoba.

The excellent choir of the congregation will Render several musical selections during the evening. A collection will be taken up at the close of the meeting in Aid of the missionary operations of the Church. From notices in our column during the summer it would appear that the presbyterian Church is determined to do its share in ministering to the spiritual wants of the North West. Four new missionaries have been sent to this province during the summer and one to fort Pelly and the Swan River District. The Church has also sent one to labor among the Plain Cree indians and have employed a pure blooded Sioux who was ordained some years ago by the american presbyterian Church As a missionary among the Sioux in the neighbourhood of fort Ellice. Four new ministers into our province and three out Side in the course of one summer and that when Little or nothing can be done in some cases from local sources towards their sup port this year is a sad record for a Church with such a High ministerial Standard As the presbyterian.
