 March '''comes in like lion" uo below ero,--may it fulfil the proyerb and give Q fitting conclusion to this most lamblike of winters. t1'@ ss' v 1.sl'1.' .'41l5'A ] -4On Saturday the First Episcopal Society held an interesting meeting at St. Michael's chapel under the call we published last week. The former vote. giving Mrs. Beers twoyears income of the portion of the Beers estate of which Dr. Beers enjoyed the income during life. was reconsidered, md a proposition to give her that incom, for a year and half, defeated -36 to IT. After considerable debate the following vote was finally passed 2 to 21: .,; 5...s yes ,y WHEREAS, By the receat death of Doctor Alfred H. Beers, the income of one third of the estate of Seth P.Beers has become payable to the Society;
 and, whereas, the widow of Doctor Beers is left ' without adequate provision for her support $ : Resolced, That said income tbeing that which would have been payable to Doctor Beers had he lived) may during the current year, 1869, be paid to the widow, from which sum the amount paid for funeral expenses shall not be deducted. ; 74 We greatly regret that the original vote was meddled with, but the result was. on the whole, more favorable than We at one time expected. The debate which was cenduc- ted by Judge Seymour in favor of the do nation. and by Mir. Everett H.. Wright oi Milton against it, explained the ground of the opposition from the Bantam and Mill ton parishes which, in justice to them, we give exactly asistated. Each of those par ishes is now i'd ccs;pt' of $50 from the Christian .Kn Ie Society, without ~.'..sa slsy CON ZSt s pay their present minister Go wilo.d they are greatly attach ed1 his salary. MT. Wright stated that they, had received . letter from some one i've understood him to say an agent of that SO ciety) giving them notice that this appro. priation would be vithdraWn, on the .ex. press ground that if they chose to vote away an income now become due them, they could no longer be considered entitled to support as missionary parishes. Judge Seymour replied that he was a director of the Society in question, had heard of no such action on their part, and felt conf. dent that upon his giving them a alfnll state
 
 ment of facts they would never. withdraw their aid from the Bantam and Milton par ishes. He then asked by whom the letter was signed. MT. Wright refused to give the name in public, but was still of the opinion that the aid in question would be withdrawn We cannot believe that the statement on which the opposition to this simple act of justice to the family, of Mir. Beers has been based, can be correct. g Ii it should prove to be so.s however, those parishes would certainly be entitled to all the help St. Michael's could give them. < ,
 Having. settled the business which the meeting was called to consider, the resig- nation of Rev: Mir. Perry. Rector Of, the Society, was read. Speeches of regret were made byIprominent members of the Gecie. ty, resolutions offered by the wardense and .vestry of st.

Perhaps there is nc man in the country who has given the subject of Chemistry more thought, or m derstands it more perfectly than Prot, Coleman. In addition to the profound, the Professor introduces an amusing fed. ture in the administration of laughing gas.
