If there isany clam of men who should
be independent of any “favors," and un-
ttammelcd by any obligations which charity
immitis the clergy; yet it isatime
honored custom to treat them m objects of
charity, and make them feel that their hard
earnings are the gift of the people. We be
lleve there is no institution which is more
demoralizing to clerical independence and
dignity then the “ donations," socalled, .with
which the parsonage is visited once a year,
the congregation then unloading a deal
of stale provisions, which must be placed to
their credit on their account with the
preacher. Many of those are pleasant social
reunions and bring a material advantage to
the minister‘s stinted income ; but sometimes,
and too often, they are more trouble than
'they are worth ; and almost always they are a
compromise, in some way, for an honest
debt which the people owe their pastor.
We have been led into these thoughts by
reading of a donation given lately to s Fras-
bytcrian clergyman in Pennsylvania. the ac-
count nf which is said not be exaggerated.

did not want to enter into any discussion
relative to Rowayton, Five Mile River, etc,
and then go into the most extravagant ex-
aggeratiou to the extent of a column or
more; but in all their sutements they fail
to tell of _ any, action ever being taken by the
people, to name one half of our district
Rowayton, and theother Five Mile River.
They sum up all the business and houses to
the end of ninety~four, north and south of
the Railroad, as being owned by men that
favor the name of Five Mile River, except
seven for Rowayton’. (Smart seven we
must be, to gain hnd hold the name of R0-

but we wont claim them so inferior to usas
they admit themselves to be, but propose to
sum up again.)

that they claim, about thirty are in Middle

neighborhood, where they care about as
much 'almut our strife as the people of
Kamtchatka. ()f the three stores south of
the Railroad, two are Rowuyton,as their
books and the mark of their goods may be
seen by all. The preserving house they ad-
mit is Rowayton, but that is sold out; yes,
