The examination INTO the difficulties at the "ickhne

the Presbytery. Owing the Stated Moderator rev.
DR.. Knox, having been excused from iarsher at'ena

Quite large number OF ladies' were present. outseVerai
proininen, members OF the Presbyiery were absent
The greater part of the morning was consumed
by Rev. Mr.. See in making his statement and answer
ing questions He said he believed thai MT Conc was
the head and front and top and bottom OF all tho
trouble in the church. The morning services were
most invariably spent by MIN IN taking catch-notes

Mr. See said when he received message from God no
believed IL should be delivered, let the consequences
be what they night His sermons were messages
from God and he brought into the pulpit taat wucn
he believed as coming direct from God. He was
very imperfect individual, but preached as God
directed HIM. He dscaimed any inspiration or IN
fallibty.
Ihe afternoon session was principally occupied in
receiving the statement Of Mr.. Thomas L. Mcclellan,
one OF the church members, who IN substance spoke
IN support OF Rev. Sir. soc, aud denounced Mr. Cone
as constant iaultdnder aud troublesome kind OF per-
son. He Cone had Tor the past Two years been carry

The overcrowded and uncomfortable condition OF

bound respect whether there any law the sub
ec of overcrowding, and n so why It is not enforced.
IL also shows the necessity Of having greater num-
Der Of boats running moro frequently Tor the accom-

doubts that night arise the mind Of the travelling

popular demand for cheap aud quick means OF exit

summer quota OF excursions and short voyages To-
especially will tho rush be great TO s the

passenger should be acquainted with his rights and
privileges and learn the remedies OF which he
avail himself in the OF overcrowding.
IL becomes necessary, therefore. hrst Of all, TO
