DORCHESTER, MARCH Ugh, DM.
A LATE DORCHEBTER CLERGYMAN AT
RICHMOND.

The Rev. 0. T. Proater,—wbese may of our readers
semember ha sonneothe with All Saha pariah.
mid Who it sow the Vicar of Richracad, ham, we
dad* mot, made hosts of friss& in that delightful
suburban parish, but we fear he has likewise mad* sot
• flew eassuiss, or at Meet so embittered some of his
Mende that if they do not soothe their feelings by
quitting the Clunk altogether, they will at say rate
prove themselves reams awkward oombataats to the
rev, oedema himself. Mr. Procter is again,
as we Itaderstaad from tidings which have reached us,

which, if oaly • little true Christian tallow* and

It was sot so very loos ego that • certain wall proved
the Mk noir of the rev. gestlentaa, sad from which
mute salutary winkles should have been grazed, but
semykbp Mr. Prootsr has forgotten his experiences as
impede the wall, and be has now fall's foul of • cortain
e' horrid Scotch" moutuntrot, whiob art old parishioner
wished to snot to perpetuate the vistas of bar departed
Mombasa. The as lentleaman was • flootoharan, and
his family are well-ksown in Mamma, sad are old
seatholciers in the parish church ; his widow sub-
mitted to the Vicar a design for a neat remits obelisk,
ten feet high, on which was inscribed simply the name
el the &owed, with the date of his birth and death.
Perfectly ressoaable, most people will say; but in what
particular the *Melia offended the mamma arceitemnral

through it. It appears that se obelisk somewhat
okallar, had Moody lima ended in the cemetery, and
this was urged by the family in support of their claim,
but to so parpome. The geatleman who mooted that
esesk was, said Mr. Prooter,such • self -willed man sad
would have hie own way Remonably enough, tim
eppikeste bt the primal case, digested this admissive
aid they have remised to act accordingly, sad Mr.
Praetor will hereto admit, should • compromise act be
ellsoted, that those "horrid Scotch" are sot &Soother
amid of istf•wW. Ths Vicar has staggestal, is his
swlrtmmity, that the obelisk should be cat down by
ems three feet, sad has magnanimously admitted that
he mould not *ea Or a cross on the top/ But, in the
smercin of their will and just rights, the family of the
Mmad and goes Bootchosaa. have appealed to the law,
but sot before they had suggested all kinds of pacilk

lows, has condemned the conduct of the Vicar in •
tome most severs. Mr. Prooter's zeal and energy they
admit, but these valuable traits, which we Is Dorches-
ter, too, remember with pleasure, are, says our
soatemporary, "paralysed for good through sock,
lamentable exhibitions of official intolerance and
indiscretion." What is the use of • mountain of zeal, !
the Richmond people ask, if against it in the balance
there is only • mere figment of discretionary tact. All
Mr. Procter's Meads in Dorchester will regret the
bamsdance Mr appears to have exhibited, for we do not
look upon the version of the affair forwarded to us
as as or parte one. Whether the rev, gent emus is
asmodied by • omaridsoaus to admit the obnoxious
obelisk, or whether be will make the aasende honor-
oils, is to be nen, bat ta say ease tbsre will to Isle in
Its wake • vast amount of meoour and enmity, which
some can help lamenting should ever ha vs barn aroused.
The Chetah cannot, in these days, milord to barons of
her iriawda, and Kr. Procter should itaow by this time
that umay are those who are literally driven from her
ranks by sash unhappy and harmful episodes as the
grement. Estintabie sad zealous as • clergyman, we
know hint to be, sad therefore it is with deeper regret
see have We !widest broogbt Wore our notice,
sad we earnestly trust an siniciable settlement of the
quake will be elected, but before it shall have
developed late am of those scandals which all thought-
ful Christina members of the Established Church so
deeply deplore.
