AN ARTFUL lMposroR. Some citizens Of
Massachusetts are exposing the character of
one Hull Horton, pretended prophet, who
also goes about in the garb Of one of the
Society Of Friends, but whose object ap.
pears to be the qualification of criminal in.
cIinaton. His conquests are chiefly among
religious married women, persuading them
to believe in spiritual union or marriage,
as the only kind of marriage approved OF
by God and recorded in Heaven, and that
such marriage supersedes all earthly mat-i.
monial forms. The sinner is 80 years
old.

Encouragement from this unexpected return
Of action IN the part, he excavaed a place
in which he placed his arm and covering i,
