The undersigned, Inspector Of Flour, for the town
OF Alexandria, and for many years practical millets,
take pleasure in stating, that they have seen in one
ration, and examined with some attention, " Fitz-
patrick's Patent Smut Machine and have no hesi-
tation in pIonouncing it, in their opinions, superior
to any machine heretofore IN use for rubbing and
cleaning wheat, and efectually freeing il Of smut
aRd dust, white caps, and other matter that has a
tendency to darken and injure the quality of flour.
They have also particularly noticed It's effect on the
Hour brought TO this maiket-that from the mills
where il is used being much whittier and clearer of
sPecks, than that from other mills, or from the same
mills before the introduction of This valuable i'm
provement. Its simple, compact, and durable CON
stTuction, combined with the little power required
TO keep it in operation, are additional recommended
tons to its general adoption. Believing it would
be a great acquisition to every milling establish.
ment where -four is manufactured, they earnestly
it to the attention of millers generally.

Estimable however, as were all those quail

a christian. Unlike many young men, who
deem practical pieiy unnecessary, OF unworthy
ofthcir attention, he early gave his most sol
emn sanction to the truths of religion--and as
we trust, his heart TO God. In the year 1885,
he made public profession by uniting with
the Baptist church in Townshend. Moreover,
he was devoted, active christian. In SCENES
that were Christ-like, he was familiar. Before
entering college, he was superintendent of the
sabbath School, deeply interested in promol-
ing its prosperity Indeed, whatever savored
most Of Christ crucifed, received his decided
preference. by the few friends who were
privileged with his religious sympathies and
devotions, his christian character will be hong
retained in pleasing remembrance.

from private letter, dated Alburgh March ~, 1889.
"Cap,ain PoT,er's company of regulars are
ordered from this post Rouses Point and leave lomor
row morning; the company stationed at Troy is also
withdrawn, to join the headquarters Of the regiment

1.-THE excitement a, Rouse's Point is very great, in
consequence Of the burnngs which have been kept up
for nearly two weeks. Quite number Of the families
are moving Of the place, rather the female part Of
them You form little idea of the alarm and
fusion which prevail there: night fails mount
cd Dragons stationed the lines; yet with all this
precau,ion, they have fires all around them Several
fires occurred within sight Of the guard and while
they estngushing one another has broken gu. in
another direction"
STILL LArER.-By letter from Alburgh, dated Mon.
day last on which implicit reliance may be placed, we
learn that The barns belonging 10 Mr. Convey, an enter.
prsing farmer in Alburgh, were burned by gang Of
"loyal volunteers on the Saturday night previous.

tons Of hay, destroyed Our correspondent adds,
