Twenty-second street. The unfortunate divine
had been IS hours in his journey TO the city, on
account OF accident to the train, which delayed
his arrival some hours. He was greatly fatigued,
and though numerous people nocked to the house,
either to welcome him or to obtain information, he
was compelled TO take some OF the rest that nature
insisted upon. His sermon, which will be preached
to-day at the conservation Of DR.. Charles E. Cheney
at Christ church, was mainly written on the cars,
and the mental and physical strain to which he
had been subjected during his journey would have
exhausted less active and vigorous person.
When reporter OF this paper called for the sec-
ond time at the house he was received very pleas

expressing his views.
