BANK or BURLINGToN.-In the reports Of legis-
lative proceedings notice very proraced debates
on the eXpedcncy of granting dj'd charter to the
Bank of Burlington. The question seems to under
go a pretty thorough investigation; the opponents
admitting that the Bank has been conducted safely
for the public, but taking the ground that the stock
is in the hands of too few individuals, and that no
bank should have scCond re-chartcr. The claims
of the Old stockholders will be contested inch by
inch, and nothing strange should they have to lay
over to another year for the favor they ask.

The CASE OF BISHOP ONDERDoNK.-We stated
few days since that by the action Of the Conven-
ton this case had been committed exclusively to
the Bishops of the Church las q body, the Convention
the sentence under which the Bishop is suffering.
We then expressed the opinion that no immediate
action toward his restoration was probable. We
learn that the Bishops yesterday sont to Bishop
Onderdonl a reply to the memorial he addressed to
them at the beginning of the Convention, affirming
the legality of his sentence and giving him leave TO
withdraw his application This settles the case for
the present.-N T. Tribune

For the Voice Of Freedom,
A Correction,

Mr.. Editor The Irish woman alluded to in the
last Voice, by Mr.. b., us was stated was brought in
from the lake on Saturday, by one of R. BLAKE
teamsers, and left by the roadside near Mr.. Gro
TONS. There they gave her some refreshments
and carried her to one Cook, who resides near
Blake's furnace. Application was made to INC on
the Sunday following went to see what was to
be done with her, and having learned the circum-
stances, told the team5ter that brought her in he
must take care of her, and good care. did not re-
fuse to take care Of her stated, but told him
not to carry her back to the lake. as she was too i'll
to be moved and | would provide for her if he
would not; but told him he would have to pay oil
the expense incurred for her. WILLIAM HOGAN
and myself sent for Dr. BACKUs to make her visit
on our own expense. The tcamster, MICHAEL
O'BRTEN, went to Mrs. PHELPS to have her take the
sick person awhile which she consented to do, and
sent a carriage to convey her to the houses but
O'Brien refused to let her go, and carried her back
to the lake, where she died.
Attest, ELMIRA PHELPS.
Henry NICHOLS.
Brandon Nov. @ 1917.
], WIN. HOGAN, will here state that | was present
and heard the conversation between Mr.. Nichols
and the above named teamstor, and can chcerfully
say the above mentioned conversation took place.
And can further state that Mr. Nichols did render
and offered all tho assistance that he could under
all the circumstances at that time WM HOGAN
Twill, (by requost,) state that was called to see
the above mentioned Irish girl on Sabbath evening,
by request of Mr.. Nichols and Mr. Hogan, and that
they paid me for tho visit from their own individual
funds. c. BACKUs.
REMARKs.-From tho foregoing statements Mr.
NIoHoLs TO be exhoncrated from the blame many
might attach to hm-fom the perusal of the article in
the last Voice
We have understood that the family of Mr.. KuBURX
the Inn Keeper at Mud Dock, Orwell, have been very
SICK, and as is supposed caught the disease from the
woman who was brought to Brandon and carried back
and who staid at that Inn before coming here
1t was certainly hard the best way could be
shaped and oar only object in admitting the article of
last week and appendng remarks was, ifpossiblc
to induce the authorities of the several towns in this
vicinity to prepare temporary Asyuns in which those
poverty stricken persons who shall chance be afflicted
with contagious disease, may have medical aid adj
and if possible restored to health.
