Biographical Sketch of the late Rev. D. Macfarlane.—We have received a biographical sketch of Mr Macfarlane from the Rev. Neil Cameron, but owing to its being received too late for this issue, it is held over until next. We have also received a very interesting paper, entitled “The Declaratory Act in Court,” being substance of a lecture delivered at Lochcarron by the late Rev. D. Macfarlane, the first part of which we intend giving in the February issue.
Correction—Helmsdale Appeal.—”Mr J. Dawson, Portgower,” should have read, “Mr J. Davidson, Portgower.”
