The farmers here are anxiously looking for- ward and longing for good weather for seeding. Vb heard of one farmer the other day who had nearly tinished seed.. ing but he is an exception as the maj- ority of them have not yet begun. AL together the spring has been a rather blue one for. the tiller of the soil ; the backwardness of the season, the recent storm which made such havoc in the woods and poor prospect that there is at present for a good market for their cattle, all combine to exert a depress- ing influence on the poor farmer. Miss M. E. Millard spent several days of last week with the Misses Kolb of Berlin. Mrs. M. Millard has been in very poor health for: several day's.

Any person who has any regaid for his ulan- hnutl and h0nor would tu-coil horn re., plying to such a scurniou-, low and abusive letter much is s, be the author of the same. We had a right co expect better things from the author of the article. It is the easiest thing in the world to heap foulabuse upon the heads of those from whom we may diff) er. Hejests and makes light of re- ligion and sacred things in general that is indeed shocking. Look at some of these expressions: "Your re- ligion is small pertuters," "who knows but he was winking with his off eye, muttering a vacant "Arrfetr," and many others of a similar nature. Shame! Shame! Who is this vile defamert. From the nature of his correspond- ence one would he led to believe that the village teacher knew it all and when “I ope my mouth let no dog bark." Now in all candor. let me say that, there were many people who had lived in this neighborhood all their: lifetime who knew a. few thing: long before this village teacher thought of coming here. But amongst his little clique, it might aptly be said : "And still they gazed and still the. wonder: grew, that one small head could carry allheknew." Andtohavethismereyouth set himself up as a kind of Dictator to shoot off random shots of the vilest abuse upon institutions and persons is indeed presumptuous l Why has he to slander the Rev. Mr. Learn? A man head and shoulders above his cal- umniator in ability and general use- fulness. Why did he refer to him at all I If he has no good word for him, why refer to him at all and thus throw his influence on the side of rowdyism. wrong and irreligion. If the minister was not his ideal, why must he refer to him? It shows a rudeness, a. want of courtesy and propriety that is appall- ing. Since when, and by what auth- ority, might I ask, has the village teacher's etiquette been accepted as the standard l. There is nothing so dis- gusting to the readers of a newspaper, and so injurious to the paper itself, as to have some of these "Smarties" take dictatorial liberties, weekly, with every person not to their liking and spatter personal abuse upon this one, innuen- does on that one, when, in most cases they are hut depicting the depravity of their own natures. I have no desire to reply to mud flinging or personal abuse. I leave it to other hands. Does it show the highest type of Chris- tian character to be continually criti- cising, abusing and finding fault with the ministers of your charge? Would it not be a thousand times better for the cause of religion if we threw our sup- port and sympathy on the side of the ministers whose mission is to do us good, even should they do some things differently than we would do them? Who knows but our plans, if carried out, would be very much worse? He who is perfect let him throw the first stone. At my leisure, I may review in some future article, if I see tit to do so, the whole situation and let the public have To the Editor ofthe Chronicle a peep behind the scenes to see for themselves, thertrue cause ofour friend's fearful animosity. My remarks will, however, not take the form of a reply as I consider my iriend's article not wow/1y a reply. I emphatically reas- sert thecorrectuess of my former article.
