For a child the quantity should be a tn spooufud of salt aud one of vinegar in a teacup fuil of Waetcr. Let none doubt the efficacy of this remedy on aceount of its simplicity.

Mr. Henry then remarked, that this then eon- firmed all, and. as he never sought the ottice of Treasurer, nor did he have any use for its funds, only as inight be directed by the Society, and now feeling satistied that a suspicion, at least, is in- tended to be cast on the officers of this Society, 1 think the resolution shouid pass. : Iam very sorry Mr. Carothers ix not present. 1 am sure he could be, if he wished, as he is in the next room, for Leannot say as much as I would like, for what I have to say I want to Say to him Sir, there is no person in the city for whem I ave entertained more respect and kind feeling ; «1 there is no person for whom I would be mo: willing (as | ever have been) to do a kind a and yet he has done indirectly what he nor his Session dare do directly.

Mr. Presideat, I am ve orry that anything should have vccurred that compel me to offer sach a resolution ; but there had been an im- plied censure, a reflection, cast on the/otticers of this Society, by the Session of the Church. 1 could not let ito by unnoticed. 1 thought the hest plan would be to have a committee appoint- ed ; let them examine the books of the Secretary and Treasurer, to see if th®y had squandered or misused in any way the moneys belonging to this Society The committee have made that examination, end report that the Secretary has paid over all mo- neys that have come into his hands. They not only find the Secretary honest, but more, that he has paid into the treasury some four- teen dollars more than the books held him respon- sible for. The secretary, who the Session of this Church would cast a censure on, and would prevent the moneys of the Society from coming into his hand has paid over fourteen dollars that he could have put into his own pocket, and the Society could never have known anything about it. I will state that, since our last meeting, Mr. Hoover has paid over ail the money that he had in_ his hands t,t sorrow that anything should have occurred that I thought was eget to trouble the Society with proceedings of this kind, but it Was a matter personal to myself and the Secre- tary. Nr.
