off and await developments.

News figures very prominently in said letter,

"W." says thatw advised him not to publish
certain reply in The NEWS, as ats publica-
ton might not do us ["W."l any goodW
"W." gives us credit for what we cannot le-
ultimately lay claim to. We simply declined
publishing his answer,-neither feeling nor
expressing any consideration for what would

The Rev. DR.. WEBSTER says:
IA few evenings Since when the people were in
vted to bring forward their offerings, one sister
brought along ten dollars in gold. It had been
Cleaned from her scenty income by the self denial
OF years, for the purpose OF paying the expenses
which would be required: to give her decent
burial, when death should relieve her from the
tolls and bhrthens Of her earthly pilgrimage. 90
And again: m@a. @
We have now, laying upon our desk before US,
sixteen eilver quarters, which have been brought
In for the church, all she had, except this little
pile OF silver, which was the savings of years, laid
by for o time OF need to afford her medicine and
aid In the hour Of sickness and pain.
We forbear giving the Leaders comments
upon these two transactions; and will only
quote its final reflections and advice to the
oolored people: a'..'5..% go. ~ ...a

We can afford space for an extract only:
