The half that she had not time to oall on soon heard it from the other half, and before noon there was a great ex citement in Ballrille. The officers of the church discussed the matter with heavy hearts. Such disgraceful conduct could not ho en dured. Something must be done. But what ? Call at once on toe minister and hi* wife and inquire into too matter? Oh, n o ; that would not be dignified and officiol. Beside, there could be no doubt about it.
