at Tower Hill (Sonth Kingstown) some
three or four Sundays since, when he
poured out the vials Of his holy wrath
UPON the citizens Of this town in much
spray and dashing. We learn from some
of his hearers that his attack was indls-
criminate that hisannthamas were loud,
long, and vindictive.-denouncing fnite
and infinite vengeance upon this town,
MT even sparing those who had foolishly
dpntribuied to his support, and that of
other priestly evolves in sleeps cloth

l3e convention fair held in this tpwn,
aid our citizens, generally, refused to
oter up all their earthly possessions at
,te shrine Of fpriestcrnft to fiIl the Lord
'frcasury"-That their not doing so
was downright alheism--that not to con-
tribute to the support Of God was to deny
hlm--that the money of tins town is
lnbstly spent in rocreations instead Of
being put into tile Lords contribution
byx.-That consequently we nre almost
wholly a community Of atheists, because
we did not give all towards sntiating tho
fathomiess NAV Of his God
But who is this Reu. John Bristed
who thus prcsumes TO catechise, vilify
