This drew out a long discussion by themembers jut the Presbytery, eliciting thefaet that even the ministers did not agree, and general acknowl edgment that they were getting Into waters beyond thelr'depth.. THE RESt'LT. ' The Presbytery referred the matter back to Calvarj' Church Hession for further consideration, if the complainant desires, he having said he was not accorded a sufficient hearing. It Is thought he will not bring the case up a second time, as the lady ha proved too worthy a foe. She Is up- . held by the pastor of the. church,' Rev. Mr. Hemp hill, and a number ef other ministers, and If she Is guilty of lieresy; they are also. . If the case Is 1 tressed, the chances are good for a big division, n the meantime, ths little woman teaches her Rlble class "holds the fort." -iAt a recent ball given by the prince and Prin cess of Wales, the Princess Fredrica wore a mag nificent dress of white Ilsse, trimmed with gold Turkish embroidery, the gift of the HulUn.
