Rev. f. S. Foster, for two years the res

his farewell sermon Sunday evening week

his society, he was ever the kind, faithful
and attentive pastor. Under his minis

creased in number and influence; leaving
it in far better condition than when he

The Sunday School was never in more
tlourishing condition, and every member
from the least to the greatest. found in
Mr.. Foster a kind and ever to be remem-
bered friend His hand was ever open to
relieve the poor, and his labor in behalf of
the young, and the elevation of the fallen

His new field of labor is Chester, Vt, and
with their new pastor we have faith to
believe that "their labor viii not be in

LEE CANADiAN PARLIAMENT ON THE ALLEN
MCDoNkL1s ABDUCTION, dC.-In the Canadian
parliament, Tuesday night, Mr.. Mackenzie
moveo IN address for the correspondence re-
gaTdlng the abduction of Allen Mcdonald by
the United States. In doing so, he said that he
hoped the Nj Minister of Justice was now in a po-
sitlon 10 state whether the report in the news
papers was true or not, .sthat after the United
Staies authorizes had admitted the illegality of
ne proceeding OF their officials, the British
Munster at Washington had declined 10 accept
TIE release OF the prisoners who had been i'm.
properly abducted from British territory
Sir John Mcdonald said he was bound to
say that the answer given by the British NJ mis-
Ter at Washington to Secretary Seward was
what had been stated. He had been greatly
surprised to learn that person illegally ab-
Quoted had been allowed TO be retained in the
United States without beng sent back to Can.
ada. II was due to the House and 10 the country
10 have some explanation OF the extraordinary
and unprecedented conduct of the British Min
lister at Washington. We should not permit
any British Minister to take upon himself to
say that he would surrender the right and lib
critics of a British subject, whom the American
authorizes had no right to retain. The motion
was carried.
Sir John A. Mcdonald introduced bill for
the extension of the exraditiOn treaty IL was
he explained known to the honorable members
that the Ashburton treaty provided that the i'm. 1.
colonies until colonial acts bad been passed.
and had given effect to the treaty, and where
such acts were satisfactory to the Imperial
Governments; and that then such colonies
should be governed by colonial acts, and not by
the imperial act. Such an act had been adopted
The object Of the present bill was To extend tha
provisions of the act of the dominion. The hill
was then read by the first time, and a second
reading was ordered for Friday.
