To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
In your paper OF yesterday Sunday you publish
under the head OF "Rcliglousn an extract from the
New York Observer, In which the sexton OF one OF
our churches Is charged with "bad mannersr
Now, as an attendant Of that church, I, for one can
say that the charge is unwarranted. The sexton In

politeness and attention to all strangers who come
to the church. "a surly manner' Is not his manner

she went with her children, and occupied one laf

sexton should do precisely as he has done in this
case; Otherwise those regular attendants who pay

police until yesterday, when Captain Kennedy, re-
eeving Information OF the afiair and leaning that
Granalian was Still IN somewhat prccarlous condI-

ne locked up in the Sixth preenct station house.
Granahan was attended by nelghboring physician,
who ordered him to be cent 10 the Park Hospital.
