had the promise II i minister who could
speak Gaelic. and they have been very
much dissatisfied that the promise has
not been fulfilled. Till quite recently,

have had very ahle minister, Rev. Mr..

In conclusion, wish 10 add Wy testi-

pitalitv of the Selkirkers.s During more
than six months residence among them,
we found many friends, who seemed 10

offered frye for annther yrar, and the
gentleman and his wife said further,
that they had rather give something y
