tople for in West Burke is Caleb Aldrich. Caleb is pot wholly without advocates. That element ways ready to stone the church are Imous in favor of Caleb, and "Stwith the usual relish. Hat there are others, fair minded people, who claim that he sbould bave the usual chance to ventillate his exhortation in the social meeting so long as he says nothing positively and openly offensive to devotional sentiment. These two classes embrace about half of the community.
The other half, having in mind his talk on the street, easily draw Inferences of an dertoe of messing in bis peculiar exhortations in meeting and seriously object to his presence as so setive member. There is no need of anyone being a disturbing element in a religions meetlag. A religious congregation is bever known to object to devout and sincere exbortation in a social meeting. The sim always is to encourage people to take part. It will bel bard work for Caleb or his friends to make people believe that a religious congregation in West Burke objects to proper and sincere exhortation in their meetings.
A congregation is seldom made up that way. Since the above WAS in type we have received from Mr. Aldrich the following letter, which will explain itself: Editor I notice an article in your West Burke items which I pronounce a cowardly attempt to misrepresent and abase an aged man. which no one having a spark of bumanity, to say nothing a bout Christianity, could desire to do. I knew nothing about being compleined of until I read it in the UNION.
I have not been into a Methodist meeting since last winter, till a short time ago, one Sabbath evening -I went out for a walk in the beautiful moonlight, not expecting to attend the meeting -finding others going, I went also. Perbaps I did wrong. knowing that some did not desire my presence. The mon people, those who do not profess religion, noticed nothing in my exhortations from which to draw "hellish inferI ences." As to the and "devilish," it depends on the eye. It is unfortunate to have bad eyes, but I am not the first one accused of having a devil and of being mad.
I have been earnest in my exhortatins, for religion to me is a reality, and I know not why anyone should misunderstand me. As to Sutton church and the church of West Burke, if they are built upon the Rock of Ages, I have too much confidence in that Rock and too little in my own strength to think my hortations are powerful enough to bring them down. If said churches are not on that Rock they may bear something that will disturb them more than my exhortations. With love for all, CALEB ALDRICH. -The Quebec Lumber Co.
mill, below the depot was sold last Saturday by the receiver at sheriff's sale to Charles Silsby for $1,450. There was no machinery except engine, boiler, and main shafting.
