CoBsiderable trouble has been experienced ju making selection of site for thenew school liouse t-j be erected in this place the coming summer.

Several weeks have passed since my last correspondence, and nothing remarkable has even now occurred to note. A little more than the usual exeitement was experienced at the late elections.

A shoemaker and Doctor would find a good Oijening here. Aud uow Mr Editor I wish in conclusion to express an opinioa. viz.,â€" That we Can- -idians, as a rule are aa .sociable, charitable and democratic as auy people in the world, v:hough composed of various natio^ialities and creeds, but the harmony of neighborhoods is often sad'y broken by pohticiaus, newspapers and the clergy. Now this is not as it should b-j. We have ela~hing of interests sufficient without haying thoss sensitive yet useless iiuisiious rakjd up for selfish ard party purposes, aud I believe if Canadians ever de- Teloi e into a nation ol united happy con teuteJ people, thosie extreme party bickerings will have to be buried, otherwise we will do- geuerate into a Despotic Government with a stauamg army to maintain order. To the Editor of the SiArDAM). Sill.â€" Why "does it appear ntrange what ?i hub ub people make in reference to the so called "Koss. Bible " Protests havebeen and are being made against its use, and hence arisen btiites and couteations. It was, se- cretly introduced by Inspectors, and used by teachers a year or more, before the people knew thai such was the case. That there are Rood ana sufficient causes for the pro- tests agaiust its use, is attested by the per- .-iistaat efforts made to minimize them â€" thro.vmg dut in the eyes of the people. The que tiou is not whether '99 out of every 100 ratepayers know what it contains," but whether knowing what is left oUt of the â- 'Coss Bible," and the evident reasons for the excisions, they are justifiedin protesting. How can anyone possibly arrive at the con- elusion that, 'If the lives of its opposerswero squared by its teachings, they would make good citizens, perhaps much better than at present," when those passages teaching obedience to civil poweis are carefully ex- cluded from the Eo ss Bible? Those holding such opinions must be ignorant of the facts. or loyic is one of the lost arts. No Protestant can consistently or con- scientiously, use. permit or justify the use of the "Uor^s Bible," if he be aware that the following passage is left out of it. For there 13 one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus. Also S^V. 22 and 18 19 is siruck out for a very «videat rea.son. Yours tnily, Docxo.
