A CLERICAL LoTHARIo.-The
village Of Annetia, in central New
York, has been thrown into un-
comfortable excitement by the
backsliding of a preacher named
Thurlow Tressclman. Two years
ago he arrived there as he said on
a mission. He desired to establish
a church in the town, and the vii
layers built one for him. lie
opened a Sunday school, organ
lied prayer meetings, and was in
delatigable in his attention TO his
flock. 1t was noticed that he as
siduously visited the young ladies',
and soon gossip connected him
with q young lady named Annie
Haight. Subsequent developments
clearly proved their guilt. He
nevertheless stoutly denied all
wrong.doing, and while the
churchmen we're hesitating, he
secretly decamped from the vii
lage. Investigations proceeding,
a Mrs. Hurst was found to have
left with him. Her house was
searched and the following note
found addressed to her absent
husband
Dear HermaR-Don't think of
me any more as your wife. / have
gone with the only man I ever
loved. You are much older than
me, though you have been to me
all l could expect. But l would
never be happy with you again.
EMMA.
The CONSERVATION and rage of
all Annetia are beyond concep-
tion. If the reprobate should fall
into their hands, they express q
determination to lynch him.
Meanwhile church, school and
meetings are deserted and sorrow
and anger flll the deceived parish.
