The Itir1erancy.

This promises to be perennial source
of controversy in the Methodist Episcopal
church The agitation for change in the
present method of allotting pastors has
broken out afresh, and viii probably con-
tinue until the meeting Of the General Con-
ference of that church in Philadelphia,
next spring. New York appears to be the
pivotal point of the new agitation, which
is led by number of eminent divines and
wealthy laymen. Two plans are proposed
for meeting the objections made to the
present system. One is, to permit min
lister to remain in one charge for five
years, if the congregation so desire it, in
stead of being limited to three years, as at
present. The other is to abolish the limit
rule altogether, and thus practically adopt
the system recognized by other denomina-
tons. Both sides of the controversy are
ably championed, and it win be nut not
easily cracked by the General Conference
to the satisfaction of all parties.

They are planting from rs to 200 acres.
They plant with the check rover or lister,

up now. The weather has been very cold

up where it was burned in March, as high

are doing fine. We had two hail storms
here this Spring; froze ice on the 23rd Of

A new fraud is being perpetrated. A
man calls at residence and tells the lady
that her husband has sent him to repair
the clothes wringer. It is given him and
he departs. Later he returns, claims to
have inserted new rollers and otherwise re-
paired the instrument and asks $2.5O for
the job. This bin is paid and the husband
upon his return is informed OF the matter.
He examines the machine and finds that
the rogue has simply sandpapered the roll
ers to give them new appearance. 1t is
well to look out for him.
