RITOLUNI AND Rica Lrvnroa.- -It will be remembered
by many that the Rev. John Duncan left the curacy of
Sherborne because he dissented from the ritinu
which at that time had just begun to be exhibited in the
services. Being the son of the mistreat of the Salisbury
Training School, the Bishop gave him a small In-
cumbency, worth about noo a year. After • time,
the living of cable boo. vacant, worth £7OO or
000 a year, and it was °ordered upon Mr. Duncan. What
is the result? The rich view forgot the scruples he
had when • poor curate, and he has carried the
ritualistic follies to such aa extent, that the priaeipd
people °this =arch have separated themselves from
him and it, and have commenced to build a free
chareh at a cod of £4,000, and have already erected
sehbols at as outlay of 1.1100. The Lifougy of the
emir& ag gnawed is to be Med, with • few verbal
alterations, sonie C!nnulannat and the introduction of
some extempore paver before the sermon; and what
caw a "Congregationalist" has beta appointod
pastor over the new &di.
