A SPIRITUAL AFFINIrY.-We have re-
ceived a copy of a letter, said to be written
by the wife ola Deacon in certain church,
located in pleasant village on the Minne-
sofa river, to the pastor of the church, who
is married man; and as the letter has be-
come public property, by having been the
cause Of a church trial, we think it will be
public benefit to publish it.
We are informed that the minister's wife
found the letter in his possession, and showed
il to her friends. This led to the erraignment
of the guilty couple, but they succeeded in
explaining the matte. it contained as being
"meant in q spiritual sense" and thus
secured themselves for the time against ex.
pulsion from the society. Subsequently,
however, the matter occasioned good deal
of commotion among the membership, and
q trial is now believed to be proceeding
The difficulty appears to consist in enabling
the less intelligent members of the church to
comprehend the spirituality of the letter.
The following is copy of tie letter:
"My own darling; 1 am sorry you have so
much trouble; if it was possible for me to bear
it for you would gladly do it. but it seems as
though we are fated to be miserable when
apart. but oh how happy when together.

The impression left BY the month past
was an unusually pleasant one. Several
circumstances combined to produce this re-
suit. Except On the let and 4th, there were
no frosts, and on the latter occasion it was
confined to low grounds. Then there was
very small proportion Of rain, and large
amount Of clear, warm days. The effect
upon vegetation was almost miraculous.
The wild flowers, and the foliage of the
trees were fully twenty days in advance of
last year, and earlier than any in the past
six. In fact, we may be said to have had
little or no spring, so rapid has been the
progress Of the season.
