Wo mentioned yesterday disaster
which lately beiel the church in Kirkady.
Scotland owing to the crowd of persons
eager to hear the celebrated mr.. Irving
preach. We learn by gentleman from
that quarter that the Rev. John Martin,
the fnther in law of Mr.. Irving, is the min
lister in that church. What may be ac-
counted q singular circumstance is that
the father Of mr. Martin. (the venerable
DR.. Martin, now S8 years of a ge,) himself,
and ar. Irving, Often preach from the same
pulpit in the same day. ,Dr. Martin has
been pastor 10 that country 90 years, and
Notwithstanding his extreme sge he still
reads and writes thout glasses.

We are further Informed that the grand
son Of Mr.. Martin has been admitted to the
ministry; and that it'would be no uncom
mon occurrence for the grandfather, son
aud grandson to officiate in the same
church, on the same day.-[Co Adv.
