whole affair has ended in smoke, and the
gossips of that region have earned for
themselves an unenviable position. A
court of inquiry, consisting of Revs.
Samuel Huffman, John Gillies and Isaac
Chivington. was appointed, and after
careful investigation, now have their
report before me, in which Rev. Balson
stands acquitted, there being no grounds
of action against him. Never was there
a more dastardly effort to ruin good
mans character than in this case. l
