II mas Talncu lot TWO Gays ana nights,
since my last and further injured crops.
Roads are badly washed and travel is
difficult. Some Typographical accuracies
made my last notes appear TO the nonin-
itated rediculous) but my clirography is
so nImtablc | will not shake my inky
locks at you, but leave the good reader
to deduct conclusions. Mr.. j. II. NinSOn,
of BrinkIeYSiIle, lost a child months old
from inflammation Of the stomach OnThurs
day. | was panied to learn Of the death
of DR.. 7. S. Petway Of Enfield. Sudden
ly taken, in the night time after day of
usual duties, he died III a short time. He
was genial clever gentleman, an erudite
| physician, worthy and respected citi-
zen and | most sincerely hope and believe
latter llte's titful fever he sleeps well"
| heard the address of Mr.. Henry Tracy,
| Of Texas, in Halifax last week, and it
would have been good for every citizen
of the county to have heard and needed
the same. He forcibly portrayed the
condition Of the working masses and
cOnciusively showed that a love Of coun-
try and home demanded them to unite
| for self preservation from the multitari-
| Gus ''trusts and combines" that are or
canned in every branch oftradc to create
fictitious demand and nju>tifable prices
for all articles of prime necessity. In a
word his his speech was replete with
sound logic and patriotic uttcrances cal
/ culated to arouse patriotism in every
breast,and the cooperation of every farm
| err to reach results so much needed.
| Your article on ecclesiastical intolerance
was pointed and suggestive. How often
the desputations relative to Church Gov
eminent swallow up the nobler purposes
! OF Christianity IN a whirlpool Of passion
and prejudice. The command to go forth
and preach the gospel to every living
creature is narrowed to limits within
which only the most unchriStian feelings
are brought to bear. Surely no converts
/ II the cause of religion can be made by
| the exhibition of spirit Of malignIty; on
| the other hand intolerance and abuse, is
/ only calculated II amuse the wicked
world at the expense of the glorious
! doctrines taught by the Apostles, 1t
seems to me that it would be well for all
! to remember that If we cannot in spirit
of love and meekness persuade our neis III
| bors they are wrong we are not likely to
persecute them in the belief or knowledge
| Off. No, verify, that will not succeed.
/ The interest, increase and stability of all
religious societies or churches would be
greatly promoted by each going on
peaceably Ill their own way. There are
many millions OF mankind to be convert
ed to the faith of the Gospel and surely
the field is large enough for al to operate
IN successfully and peacefully. l think
it is clear that those who succeed in get
ting most souls converted from the error
of their ways, will succeed best in the
present State and have most applause in
the presence Of the angels OF God, but
} enough on this point only.
