For All purposes Knox Church contributed Kildonan making for these two congregations. Tho Mission stations contributed for the Mission fund and for various congregational objects making a total from Mission stations of the amount raised by the presbyterian Church in this province last year was consequently the amount contributed for the current year is largely in Advance of last year the year began with april last being the Mission fund from five groups of stations heard from. This is an Advance of nearly 100 per cent on what was contributed by All the stations last year for Tho same fund. The amount contributed per family by presbyterians in this pro Vince for All Church purposes was thus making the presbytery of Manitoba stand next that of Montreal in its liberality. The late Canada presbyterian Church spent in this province last year in Mission work 800.38, and the presbyterian Church of can Nada in connexion with Tho Church of Scot i land thus making with the amount raised in this province in All the expenditure for this year will largely exceed that of last year owing to the number of missionaries employed. We May hero Correct a sad mistake in Bur notice of the missionary meeting. The last sentence should read four new ministers into our province and three outside in the course of one summer and that when lit Tio or nothing can be done in some cases from local sources towards their support is not a bad record for a Church with such a High ministerial Standard As tiie the collection at the meeting amounted to exceedingly Well in the Toga by of a roman Gladiator though Why he did so Ucli roaming and was and who lie did eat Are matters of mystery.

Burrows. The Canadian illustrated news prints a portrait of our townsman or. Alfred w. Burrows and the following Brief biography of that gentleman Alfred w. Burrows of Winnipeg is the fifth son of the late John Burrows Esq., c.e., of Ottawa. The late or. Burrows came to Ottawa on the staff of col by r. E., with whom he served in the construction of the Rideau canal of which he was afterwards superintendent until the Transfer of the Imperial ordnance to the government of Canada when he retired on a pension. The subject of our illustration is perhaps the most prominently known citizen of our North West. To first visited Manitoba in the Spring of js71, when the Prairie pro Vince was just emerging from the discords of the rebellion. Attracted by the natural advantages of the site of Winnipeg and the Fertility of its neighbouring lands he concluded to explore the country West upon which it would depend for Commerce and spent a year in the Bow River and Saskatchewan countries. Returning to Winnipeg convinced of its invaluable position As the Emporium of the North West he made it Bis Home. During Kin stay in the far West and upon his return he wrote voluminous by of its future for the papers and imparted very valuable information Archibald and strongly urged the suppression of the illicit liquor traffic on our North Ern Frontier and the connection of the surveys of the East and West in Advance of settlement both of which suggestions have been acted upon. He has also been a constant advocate fir the opening up of the navigation of the far West Rivers through lakes Manitoba and Winnipegosis. And has corresponded largely with prominent proprietors and Steamboat men on the subject from which a tangible project would have Boon evolved Ere this had it not been for the disastrous visitations of this year. He believes that the attempted Navi gation of Lake Winnipeg which is both Stormy and treacherous will prove disastrous. It is his opinion and that of Many other authorities that for Many reasons the others arc the natural routes of Commerce a Advance of railways and must soon to resorted to. Or. Burrows afterwards acted As chief clerk in the Dominion lands office at Winnipeg until september 1874, and administered its Alf Hirs greatly to the advantage and convenience of the settlers.
