We Always New President Cleveland

carne from good stock and below will be found an extract of a letter sent to the Detroit Free Press of Wednesday July lOtb: "In coünection with the meeting of the general ossembly of the terian church of Canada in St. Matthew's churoh, Halifax, a very interesting faot ' has reoently been unearthed, and that is, that the elmrch in whose ediflce its sessions are held was founded by the 1 Kev. Aarou Cleveland, great great grandfather of Grover Cleveland, President oL the United States. This was in the year 1 750. Mr Cleveland continued to minister to the cliuroh until 1764, when he demitted his charge and returned to England. He afterwards visited Halifax in the followinR year, but remained only fora short time. He died in Philadelpbia át the house of Benjamin Franklin in 1757. You will thus see Grover Cleveland is of good stock. He has been a good president, and doubtless will be good for the next term. I. B." Mr. Thurman's short speeches indicate a sound mind in a sound body, and this ought not to be a matter of surprise for man of 75.
