"A young Methodist clergyman has
preached from the steps of his church, in
Salisbury, MI, all through the winter
the house having been closed against him
soon after he was sent there. No one comes
to hear him, but, storm orshine, hetakes his
position with uncovered head, and exhorts
and prays, and no expostulation or entreaty
can turn him from what he deems his
duty.

named Madison, has been delivering a
course of phillippics against the Catholic

The German citizens Of Muscatine,
Iowa, are at present greatly exercised over
a disturbance which took place in the Ger
man Evangelical ChuclI of that city, on
Sunday evening, the 18th. The Rev. VIM.
Kempmeir, pastor, took occasion to de-
rlounce certain members of the congrega--
ton for having taken part in theatrical
performance under the patronage of the
Turnvere;n Society. His remarks were so
offensive that an attempt was made to
drag him from the pulpit, but was prevent
ed by the more considerable portion of the
congregation. The reverend gentleman
has received warning to leave town
and has sought the protection OF the au-
thorities. = g

The rector is Mr.. Morrill,, a native of Saco,
Me-, and a man of great obesity. He is
now undergoing medical treatment for the
purpose of reducing his flesh. In admins
tering the sacrament to his flock, he does
not allow any one to touch the bread and
wine, but holding them as he walks ele
.vated above his head, makes a dab with
bread and cup at each individuals mouth,
as the Roman priests put wavers on the
tongue of their communicates. When the
sacramental ceremony is finished, he
drinks every attainable drop of the wine,
and then, rinsing the cup with unconse-
Grated wine, drinks that, in order that not
even the vapor of the first shall be lost.
