orally absented himself, generally last winter.
His speeches have been contemptuous of the
Ministers of the word and their work viz that
they turn over 20 or 30 authors in week to
patch up an hours discourse or two on the
Sabbath And though he would pretend that
ne meant not the ministry in that town or of
New England, yet by the testimony it appear
cd otherwise. He seems to be a very seminary
OF corrupt and heretical opinions, tending to
poisoning and cOrrupting the minds Of those
with whom he hath to do And in speaking of
the religion of the Quakers (he spoke of it as
distinct from that professed hv our nation in
this country, he calls it our religion, that is,
his own and such as he. The said George Filler,
for his venting of his hetcrodoxies, adhering to
the pernicous ways of the Quakers, was pro-
cecded against by the court and admonished
theacof. And forabsentng himself from Gods
ordinances on the Sabbath, having been former
ly admonished thereof by ye Worshipful Major
Pyncheon, and also by Westfeld Commission
ers, was now also admonished thereof by the
court, as it declared to him that it was in order
to further dealing with him, except he reform
in his course therein. And for his contentious
and scandalous speeches of the ministry of this
country and of Chrst's holy institutions as de-
nying the sacraments, he is sentenced to pay as
a fine to the county five pounds, or else be well
whipped"
AMUSING MIsTAKEz-A MINISTER ASKED TO
LOAN HooP SKIRT.-A well-known minister in
Chelsea, Mass, was greatly surprised, some
time since, at receiving an epistle from lady
friend at Cape Ann, containing sundry and di-
vers female condolences relative to her approach
ing marriage, and an urgent request to send
Immediately a 9 hoop skirt" The minister
was completely dumbfounded. 1t was a strange
epistle for him to receive, but there was the SUI
prescription Rev as plain as could be. In
the course Of the day, however the mistery was
cleared up, and it appeared that the fair cor
respondent had indted two letters, one. to the
reverend, requesting his presence to tie the mar
iage knot and the other to a female friend, en-
larging on the anticipated occasion, anu re-
questing her services in procuring that highly
useful article, a hoop skirt. By some hocus
pocus the letters were placed in the wrong en-
velopes, but luckily the rightful owners ex-
changed letters, and the minister and hoop skirt
were both there Bangor, (Me.) Times

A Merry RIVER The Amazon, the largest
river in the world, has an area of drainage near
ly three times as large as that Of all the rivers
of Europe that empty themselves into the At
lantic. This plain is entirely covered with
dense primoyal forest, through which the only
paths are those made by the river and its innu-
merablc tributaries. This forest is literally i'm
penctrable. Humboldt remarks that two mis-
sion stations might be only few miles apart,
and yet the residents would requirca day and a
half to visit each other, along the windngs of
small streams Even the wild animals get in
volved in such imponetrablo masses Of wood,
that they (cycn the iaguar) live for a long time
in the trees, terror to the monkeys whose do
main they have invaded The trees often meas
ure fom eight to twelve feet in diameter and
the intervals are occupied by shrub.Iike plants,
which here, in these tropical regions become
aborescent. The origin Of the Amazon is un-
known it is nayigable for two thousand miles
from the ocean it is nearly one hundred miles
wide at the mouth, and in some places six hum
dred feet deep, and its torrent projects, as it
were, into the ocean, more than three hundred
miles, perceptibly altering its waters at this dis
tance from the American shores
