The North Clarendon Chapel.

Editor Rutland Herald: - Having
heard that objections had been made by
certain members of churches to contribut-
ing towards the building of a chapel at
North Clarendon, because it was a Bap-
fist school, and therefore ssctariap, it
seemed to me that all Christians of what
ever denomination ought to investigate it
enough to satisfy themselves whether the
school is carried on in the name of the
Lord Jesus, or the Baptist denomination,
without regard to a trust in Christ for
salvation. If the latter, I should say,
Let it alone, it will come to naught." If
the former, say" Help the cause with
out regard to name" Ii I am true ssh
der, [ ana bound, as one of the cavalry
to support the infanty of the same army,
when hard pressed. I am a Congregg-
tionalist, brought up in the "straightest
sect" and believe in it, but does that hinder
me from sympathizing and assisting one
of another denomination who believes as
fully as do, that salvation comes only
through Jesus Christ, because he also be-
ieves in the administration of certain
rite in different manner from me ? No.

FIRE AT JOHNSON. - We learn from
the Free Press that at about half.nsst
eleven o'clock Sunday forenoon, fire was
discovered issueing from the old tanperv
building located little east of johnson
village. An alarm was sounded and the
citizens, many of whom were ATTENDING
service at their respective churches. wsrs
soon upon the ground. Before the asmas
could be checked the tannery and lsrp,
factory adjoining, occupied by MoaltoD
Brothers, manufacturers of Moultop's
patent tubing, were burned to the ground.
Only the strenuous efforts of the citizens
prevented an extended conf 4gration. The
fire is supposed to have originated in the
tar room near the factory. The tannerv
was an old building of little value.
Moulton Brothers loose three or four
thousand dollars in stock; insured for
only eight hundred. Most of the ma.
chinery was saved. The factory building
was owned by other parties, and we ara
was not insured. This is tie
second large fire that has occurred in this
village within a few months.

THE OGDENsBURG EXCITEMENT Fri

days Journal says:
There is a profound and deep seated
feeling among the Protestant portion of
the community which no one attempts to
disguise, that right of public assembly
and free speech has in some wav been
denied and abridged, and they speak it
out wherever two or more get together.
Up to the present writing, we have not
heard a single Roman Catholic, French
or Irish, justify the disorderly and vic.
lent entrance to the hall, and the subse.
qnent riotous assault upon the speaker. on
Tuesday night, but we have heard hun.
dreds of them denounce, most emphati-
cally, the guilty parties on that occasion.
Every sensible and right minded man,
no matter what his creed, knows that
liberty and freedom can be preserved only
by the vindication of free speech. He |
will, therefore, by advice, influence and
force, if necessary, do his utmost to pro- !
tect this right.
