RELIGIOUS FANATICIsM.-The Hagers-
town Md Twice Week gives the follow
ing particulars OF the death Of J ohm French
who died in that town lately, after an i'll
ness Of two weeks: For two or three years
past it has been noticed that the young
man had peculiar views upon various sub
jects, and especially religion and his future
state; but it was not surmised that they
were embedded very deeply, much less to
such an extent to dcrange his mind; on
the contrary. being more than usually gift
ed with intelligence and acuteness, credit
was given him for more than the average
of common reasoning sense. He. however,
became fond Of reading that class Of works
on theoretical religion, in thetrauscendeu-
tai style, too many of which are to be
found in the libraries of persons who are
not aware Of the tendency Of those high
flown, but delusivc, disturbcrs Of the mind
of the genuine seekers after truth. To such

BANGOR, Me-, Sept 80. The Wing
and Courier learns that a shocking
tragedy occurred last week at Med
way, a small town IS miles above
here on the Penobscot river. John
Ray, man 50 years of age, was
reported on Thursday of last week
to have been missing for two days.
The appearance of his wife and other
circumstances aroused suspicion, end
the town people turned out in force
to hunt him up. After four days
search his body was found secreted
in a grave on an island, about fifty
rods from his house, with severe bruis-
es upon his face and temple. His wife
and man named Elbridge Reed, a
resident of the same town, and a
miserable fellow who is said to have
been improperly intimate with Mrs.
Ray, and with whom the deceased
had not spoken for a long time, have
been arrested on suspicion of being
the murderer8. Their appearance
before and since the finding Of the
body points strongly toward them as
the guilty parties.

THE winterset Iowa) Mrdisonian tells the fol-
lowing "Brother s. is a live, earnest Chistian;
and a good, stout Republican, and surely cannot
be very far out of the "path''. And this
reminds US of n circumstance which happened
in this county during the s1war times" The
Rev. ~. e.. StOrrs, of the Methodist Church,
had an appointment to preach in a country
precinct which was cursed with a decidedly
rough population. The roughs decided that Nr.
:. should not preach there, and so notified him.
Now Brother StOrrs don't scare worth n cent,
and. when he heard of the threats to prevent his
preaching, took two steps to prevent the pre-
ventive. At the appointed Sabbath the roughs
appeared with rope for the purpose of stretch
ing the thoracic duct of our friend Stprrs. That
gentleman also appeared, ascended the pulpit,
and drew from his pocket a Bible and six
shooter. Laying the Bible on one side of the
table. he quietly remarked, There's the GOspe
for those who want it," and, laying the revolver
ON the other side, there's cold lead for those
who deserve it." There was no more trouble at
that meeting after that"
