left Russia in great haste and secretly. He is
reprOached with having too long concealed from
the august deceased ,Ia! his lung was attacked !;
also with having himself prepared the medicines
destined for the Emperor, insleud of having had
them prepared by Il druggist. Great irritation
was manifested against him at 81. Petersburg,
and the Emperor Alexander himself advised him,
it is said, to leave Russia.

THE LATE REVIVAL.

Our village has not known period of such intense
religious excitement since 1881 has prevailed in the
Baptist congregation here for the last three weeks.
The in-gathering has been very great, some eighty
persons having been baptized nearly seventy of whom
are whites. This unusual occasion has cone about
under the minstration Of the Rev. Dr.. TEAsDALE Of
Washington city. He is travelling over the country
for the purpose of obtaining help towards the building
of a SORT of national meeting house in Washington.
His success here in that matter was also remarkable.
Mr. TEAspALE is certainly one Of the most impress
sive preachers We have ever listened to. From the
sermon we heard him deliver on Friday night however,
Judge his power TO consist chiefly in illustrating
the "tcrrors of the law" Had he more of the sweet
persuasiveness Of MANLY or q CAPERs, sume tenn
peramenls would yield TO his Gospel invitations more
readily, and ALL perhaps, with better prospects OF
complete and lasting conversion But ii is not for us
10 cavi as 10 his merits defects, upon the heels Of
his late extraordinary success in our community.
