About one thousand persons we're assem-
bed in front Of the church when tho Doctor
entered to perform the morning service.--
Some Of the people manifested their displea.
sure by kissing him as he passed. The church
was crowed by an audience who listened at

towards him apparently more from curiosity
shan harmful purposes. There was also con.
siderable kissing and hooting, and the use Of
offensive language towards the Rev. Doctor,
but the police succeeded in preventing any
serious disturbance.

hundred or more thoughtess, excited indi-

lynching the doctor, or riding him on rail,
or some similar indignity, but it is not be-
lieved that the crowd on the whole would
have permitted such lawless proceedings.

ship of Calvary Church and sold the house
where he resided, and has made arrangements
to sail for Europe with his family in the first
clipper ship, departing around Cape Horn for
that destination.
This action on the Doctors part and his
prompt decision to emigrate to Europe rather
than to the Devil has to great extent re-
stored kindly feelings toward him. The late
troubles on his account are generally spoken
Of regretfully
