A REVEREND RAscAL.-Our attention is
called to report in The Glasgow Herald (scotlandJ
Of the proceedings at meeting of she Parochisl
Board of Greenock on Dec. 81, last. On that 0cca-
sion it was proved that Roman Catholic priest
named John Scanlan had seduoed a servan! girl
named Am Jean Johnston, and shat they had two
children, which, owing TO Scanan's leaving for
America, had come upon the parish for support. II
is said that he was translated TO NewYork with an
excellent character, and that he is now officiating
here in his clerical capacity which We hope is not
true. We publish this to warn whomsoeGer it may
concern as xinst bis internal arts.

mined and the Seasons of each distributed We can
not say tha. nothing like this previously in eK-
istence, but this seems TO us exceedingly lucid and
instructive and calculated to sol some long stand
nent inclination of the ear,h'S axis seems to be ut
terly exploded BY it.
