gery. But have more to relate anoth-
er time, and more marvellous still. l shall
give them on the authority of the witness, a
person most favorably known in this commu-
nifty, as combining all the excellences of the
Christian, with the refinement and intelli-
gence of the gentleman and scholar. Now,
Messrs. Editors, that these things are SO, is
proved by multitudes of witnesses But
what do they mean, and how can they be ac-
counted for? No one who visits the house
and remains long enough to witness one half
the strange occurrences of single day, will
believe that this amiable family connive at,
or for moment sanction them. Besides the
absence of any apparent motive for desiring
so unenviable notoriety, they are suffering,
in reputation, feeling, person and property
subject to annoying visits from the idle and
curious, losing the services of their domes-
tics, and seriously diminishing life's sweetest
charm, their social and domestic happiness.
Having enjoyed their elegant hospitality for
near forty-eight hours, we feel that we could
do no less than to give our unsolicited iesiimo-
ny to their cheerful courtesy and Christian
truthfuness, and express our sincere convic-
ton that the imputations under which they
have suffered are as ilibcra and unjust on
the part of those who urge them, as they
are mortifying and painful to the unfortunate
family who ore made their victims.
