Horrible deprdpity in a Minister of IN,
GospeL-The annals of crime are always
painful, while they are yet sought after.
There is morbid curiosity to know TO
what an extent our fellow men dare 10 ont
rage their natures. and trample on the laws
of God Nature] and man. Many repro
bate the publication Of criminal actions to
the world-but in our view, ifihey he made
known in a proper manner, with suitable
reflections, they tend to prevent crime.
We have said thai depravity is painful to
any one-but it becomes doubly exciting
twhen the criminal is of thos, who sit m
high pIaces--of those whose duties lead
them to directly opposite course. For
thls reason the events connected with The
indictment of Rev. E. *. Avery made a
great excitement in the community. Men
cannot easily forgive those sins which are
committed under the garb of hypocrisy. D..
The case we have to relate has mare
than ordinary wickedness connected with il.
and has created great excitement m the
neighborhood in Which it occurred. We
have been IN possession Of the facts rs they |
occurred, but have delayed any publication
until the denouncpient should be ascertained. |
The Rev. Barnabas Phinney, while the
Congregational Church in Westborough,
t9rmerly under the charge of Rev. Mr..
Rockwood, was without pastor, some
months ego, preached before it during n
Sabbath, and pleased many of the congre-
gation. He attended one or two of The
Conference meetings during the week, aud
then it was determined, with the most cu,-
pable despatch in such momentous mat
tiers, to give him calI. This call was ac-
cepted, aud he was settled. He Informed
the Church that he had bern settled in
Pawtucket, and left only because mis- saIa-
ry was not sufficient for his support, and
that he was some hundred dollars in debt
IN that town. The church voted him eight
hundred dollars salary, and presented him
with three hundred dollars outright for the ,
'ayment of his debts. He then preached :
'efore them ms their pastor, and excited a =
powerful revival Of religion. The town
