Drunk IN II PULPIr.-The Beright'
a Belgium paper, gives the following ac-
count of a disgraccfuI scene WHICH &C.
Cured in Engsbergs recently:
Two Redemptorist friars'of St. Trond
had been invited to preach at E~ngsbergs.
One of them accordingly assembled the
pulpit with staggering steps, whether from
excess of emotion or some other cause the
congregation could not at first imagine.
Their doubt, however, was not OF long
duration, for, though the choir was still
chanting and the organ playing, the
preacher at once began his sermon, which
he said would be on drunkenness, and the
dangers of that shameful vice. The peo-
pie soon saw that the preacher was well
advanced in his subject, being as far in
toxicated as q man could be who retained
his powers of speech. The cure Of Engs-
bergs endeavored to persuade the friar to
leave the pulpit, but the latter, with all the
obstinacy Of q man in drink, refused, and
kept on talking most strangely, to the
amusement of some of the congregation,
and tho disgust Of others. An attempt
was then made to drown his voice with
the swell of the organ, but he went on
e%csticulating and shouting more furiously
than before. In his wild movements he
q. last knocked down one Of the tapers
lighting the pulpit, aud set his hair on fire
against another. The people, fearing the
place would be set on fire, then left the
church, and the excited orator was taken
down from the pulpit and carried to bed.

IL The usual public exercises connec ed
with the annual business meeting OF the Yer
mont Colonization Society did not take place
on the lS,h inst. by reason Of the absence of
those who we're expected to speak, and par
t,cularly of Hon. B. v.-R. James Of liberia,
coIored man formerly Of Vermont, who
sailed from New York for Monronia on the
10th inst ---T 81
The following letter. written to a friend
of the Society as h. was about to embark
will be interesting to our readers:
"DEAR SIR: Nothing would have afflrd-
ed me more real pleasure than to have h id
the opportunity of visiting once more the
Green Mountains, the home of my youthful
days but your kind invitation came too late.
Your note came to hand Just as | was leav-
ing the office, at the Mission House, to go
on board OF our vessel to sail for my dear
home in Liberia, and | am now waiting for
the Captain at the dock While l was de-
tanned | return you these hasty lines.
There is nothing I can do that would give
me more sincere pleasure thau aiding this
great and glorious cause.-the colonization Of
the colored psople Of this land-5ecause
know, from thirty years experience and OBJ
servation in Afiica, that this enterprise is de-
signed to confer more benefit, in every way,
upon the descendants Of Africa in this coun-
try, than any, and | m,y say honestly, all
other plans, schemes, 81, &C., that have
ever been thought Of 1 never have been
connected with colonization in any way what
ever, except to wish the enterprise well add
successful, and | cal speak of the benefits
conferred on the Africans who have gono to
Liberia without being influenced by friends
or foes.
The two men, of whom you speak, Messrs.
Johnson aud freeman, are man who bid fair
to become very useful and good citizens.
Both are occupying prominent positions in
the country and are fast aiming influence.
May God continue to prosper the cause in
which you are engaged.
Truly yours,
B. V. R. JAMES
