Just hew many religious denominationf? there are in the Dominion it is impossible to say.

There can be no objection to thin, provided the -Missionaries do not trade upon the susceptibilities of the Natives in such a way as to impoverish them. There is 'reason for alarm, however, at the encroachment made by tlhe Mormons upon tin?" educational domain.
