CHpRCH DIsrURBERs Recently, religious
meetings at various churches have bern dis
tuTbed by individuals who were apparently in
toxicated- such persons, in addition 10 the con-
tempt TO which they are exposed by their mis-
conduct, are liable 20 fine or imprisOnm ent The
complaints against persons who ron rregate about
church doors, making rude aud obscene COM
inrnts, are quite frequent. Some OF those who
have been guilty Of such offences Were intoxi-
Gated, no doubt, hut other. were excusable on
the ground Of insanity. One OF them, We are
Informed, has been twice committed TO Jail but
ischaTged on the ground of insanity; once to

reason. The proper place for insane persons be-
ing the Asylum, they should not be retained In the
