They certainly are the neatest and cleanest people, I ever saw, domestic comforts they have to perfection. ?They do not aim to be fashionable. nor showy, but to be useful and substantial. I confess that I never saw de- praved humanity so highly exalted upon the whole," as among this kind. lieatted people; but, and after all, I would not like to be av shaker. They conduct their religious services rather strangely. When the bell rings they proceed immediately to the church, `and the males occupy one side", and females the other. They keep their seats till the spirit moves some M... in unnn|(_ and also till the address is ended. They keep tnetr seats llll rue Nplfll tuuvca .w...c one to speak, and also till the After the address is over, they all stand up, then a few of the men commence to pile up the forms in two corners of the church, and pre- pare for a" dance.

They then begin to sing i some short ditty, and the same time, to ndvrutce; and retire, they do not step with an uprighti step. but with their bodies bent forward they jump and shake.

He was then junior and news-* boy for a paper called the Canadian Wesfeyan, , started to advocate the principle of lay dele- t egation in the Methodist Conference, and was it the organ of a` section of that body which had 3 , then just seceded front the present Society. in z 1833 (early) the writer becatn a resident in 0' that city, and was attracted by the bright ap- " pearance and smartness ol the" carrier-boy of .3 this paper, and frequently stopped to chat with him` when he came to leave`tlie paper.
