the cloak of religion the avowed friend of the oucast
and wretched portion of the female sex, and had the
confidence of some Of the members of the "Female Be-
nevOlent Society," of this city, which employed him as

soon lost and they accordingly dismissed him with a
notice to the public that he longer their agent

in their confidence. Still he continued to impose on
