SIR
WHEREVER fortune has been
pleased to place me in society, I have
always endeavoured to be a reasonable
member of the community—and as
to matters of an Ecclesiastical nature,
I have not only been liberal in my
sentiments towards my fellow crea
tures, but left the condud of the more
prudential matters of the chutch to
your profeffion, and those that are
more immediately conceded. (But
the condod of, the, church i,lS>r
town, on the last Sabbath, in refuting
to fend delegates, and assist in the or
dination of Mr. Tucker, in so neigh
bouring a parish ; has drawn my at
tention therefore, as an individual,
who lends his aid towards the fap
port of the parson who presides over
that refpedable body, I think I have
not only a right, as well as every one
belonging to the society, but consider
it as a duty incumbent on me, at this
time, to decently re monftrate again ft
the proceeding : for it appears to me
that those who voted against lending,
did it either through ignorance, pre
judice, or with a design to eftablilh in
this quarter the rule of ProcaftifaPs
iron bedstead : thacis—Thofe of the
human race that were too long for it,
he ordered them to be cut off—and
those that were too Ihort, he ordered
their limbs and body extended till
they answered the dimensions. —And
you may take it in other words—those
whose philanthropy extends to jhe
whole human race, they with to cast
off ; but those whose minds are con
traaed, and whose ideas never bene
volently extend over the threshold Os
their doors towards the general good
of mankind : these they take by the
hand, and by placing one narrow
con trailed idea upon another, they
embrace and claim a kind rid as a bro
ther. Mr. Tucker is a gentleman of
a refpedable family ; a gentleman of
education, and one whose philanthro
py does honour to the human race —
and I mull take occasion to fay that
he has not been treated by some in
this town with that benevolence of
heart which becomes a xhriftian.—
However, I think it is not too late to
assemble your little flock, and if you
cannot attend yourfelf • fend two re.

Mr.Ranlet,
A S th,re has been many hard
thoughts thrown out against
the inhabitants of Gilmantown, be
cause the church refufed to fend de
legates to the ordination of Mr. Tuck
er—l fend you a copy of a letter (that
accidentally fell into my hands) from
a gentleman of that place, to his wor
thy friend, the parson of that parilh,
on the fubjeft. It difeovers the phi
lanthropy of the gentleman, and ex
presses the sentiments of the greatest
part of the inhabitants of that town
so fully, I with you to give it a place
in your paper; that the blame may
rest on those few who deserve it.

WE are informed, as a fad, that
a circumttance, perhaps as ex
traordinary as antieator modern ages
have ever produced, occurred in thia
town a few days ago, to a young Jew
ess, daughter of Mr. Jacob Mendes
Cunhi, ceceafed : This girl, who it
about 14 years of age, had been en
tity dumb, and* very nearly deaf, from
her most early age, and being prefeat
when her father was in the agonizing
Juggles of death, on that event hap
pening, (he was so Wrongly affected
as to fall into fits ; upon recovery of
which, to the utter aitoniihment and
terrour of al! perlons prefect, (he be
gun to articulate, and with ever,
mark of the molt poignant grief, be
wail the lots of her deceased parent,
in terms clearly and perfealy id ba
understood.
This phenomenon, as wonderful
as it is interesting,will doubtleft prove
avast fund for ddeuffion to the fpec^
ulative philosopher, who wifties to
account for every uncommon appear,
ance, from natural causes ; but by
this girl's friends, it is.efteemed as a
most particular and wonderful aft of
the Almighty's Providence, who in a
moment of depriving a child of its
parent, was gracicufly pleased to
grant as a recompense, bleflings at once
so necessary and highly valuable tai
mankind.
*thout referring to the grand fife,
volution which they have accomplith
ed, who will assert that these things
are frivolous?
