MILTON.

dents usual letter to the CHRONICLE was |
omitted last week, but not altogether on |
account of continued i'll health. There |
has been so much jarring in our town for
the past ten days that correspondent
will of necessity be careful or he Will give
offence to some one, or more.
The matter of indictments, for instance,
from Milton. in which minors who have
lately become converts to the church,
have been made to skip their homes,
is a matter to be deplored, when we know
there are now warrants in the hands OF
the proper officers for their arrest and
that these Young men will be required to
give bail for their appearance at the next
fern of court, or go to Hotel de Ward.
This is the sum and substance III a nut
shell. We ask in all candor, Would 1t
not have been better on the part OF the
church authorities, inasmuch as these
Young men have been forgiven of their
past offences, to forgive others their
'offeuces against them 2" 20, con'
