VIOLATING rHs SEVENTH CoxxAxDxsSr.-
For some time Rev. Geo. Barker, pastor, we
believe, OF the African Methodist church,
h,s viewed the conduct Of Joseph Wilson
and Phenicis Johns, two Of the flock, with
much displessure. Joseph and Phenicia,
not seeing any particular harm therein. have
been in the habit Of sharing the same couch
every night, and % innocent were they Of
any knowledge Of the proprieties Of life that
they did not see any object in getting mar>
ried. In vain the preacher used arguments
and ,hreats-they seemed perfectly obdu
rate. and Mr. Barker expelled them from
the congregation. This also he'd no effect,
snd as dsrnier resorfe the worthy pastor
laid an information Of vagrancy against
Ph@nicia, and on being found guilty Of the
charge, the Police Magistrate this morning
fined her $40 and costs.
