In order to make the above notice
understood, some little explanation lie
necessary Mr.. Phillips is pastor Of
the Episcopal Church. He came here
and engaged TO perform all the duties
appe pertaining to the pastorats at a
stipulate salary. These duties he per-
formed to the very letter, omi.ting
nothing, and to the very general salts.

ship. There vas one thing, however.
TO which the Rev. gentleman took ex-
cep lions. The congregation and choir
had been accustomed 10 choral service,
and this in low church is forbidden, so
Mr.. P. informed them that the service
should be read, and not sung. This
created an scrid feeling, and some OF
the mem oership withdrew their sup.
port from the church, and counselled
the Treasurer TO moi pay over to M.

hoping, no doubt, thereby to starve the
Rev. gentleman out, and compel hir 10

not accomplished, as he had, just in
the nick of time, been appointed teach
or in the gramn ar school which enables
him TO provide for his family. In the
meantime the Rev. gentleman wrote to
Bishop Lac, and received an answer in
reply that he was right; SO the dissen-
ters have placed themselves in very
peculiar and inevitable position, from

manded the amounts they had contri-
buted, IN order that they might pay
over the money in person to Mr..
Phillips. This, too, the Treasurer de-
clined to do; hence the notice above
quoted. III might be allowed 70 ex-
press an opinion, think Mr.. P. has
been shamefully treated, and IL re-
fleets NO credit whatever on the prin 9
movers in this affair. which looks 80
very unohfistian like. Nothing should

These beautiful moonlight evenings

ladies and young men boating on the
