ORD4INED-At Buxton on Wednesday last
the Rev. LEVI LoRING, colleague pastor with the
Rev. DIR. COFFIN of that place. The council was
composed of the fst & End churches in Wells; the
first church in Biddeford Khe fst and End churches
in Scarborough; the church 70 Gorham, Saco, Stan
dish, New-Gloucester; and the three coDgresa-
tional churches in Portland. The examination Of
the candidate, concerning doctrine, knowledge and
experience in divine things, proved satisfactory to
the council SO that they were unanimous m all
their proceedings relative to the ordination.
The Introductory prayer was offered by the Rev
I. Nichols the sermon by the Rev. j. Cogswell,
from I'd Tim. ii. IL" Study to shew thyseIf APP
proved unto God, workman, that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth"
The consecrstiDg prayer by the Rev. f. Kellogg
the charge by the Rev. It. Fletcher; the fellowship
of the churches by the Rev. A. Rand and the
concluding prayer by the Rev. r. Mosey.
The day was very fine; and the concoarse OF
people SO great that it was thought expedieu to
erect stage adjoining the meeting house. for the
accommodation Of the council, on which the public
services were performed The order and attention
of the hearers or merry four hours without sitting
were highly commendable; and reflect great honor
upon all the exercises The music was good, and
added much to the solemnity and pleasure of the
occasion.
After divine service, the council, with other
ministers Of the gospel present. and candidates for
the ministry, dined together with MIR Peletiah
Harmon, jun. where christian hospitality was a
bundant and soon after separated in love and
peace.
The venerable DR.. Coffin. being in his eightieth
year, stood in need of an assistant to serve with
him in the gospel; and he has cordially acted with
his church and people in this whole affair. From
the unanmity OF their proceedings and the general
estimation os Mr.. Loring's character and preach,
ing, it may be hoped, that his ministry will lie high
ly useful in Buxton, and desirable acquisition to
the interests OF Zion in this vicinity.

The Argus observes, that most of the viola

We know tor certain, on the Contrary, no

violated these laws ought to be hung up,
without JUICE or jury, who was detected the

A patriot OF the same description in Boston,
Joined society for the purpose of carrying
