Mr.. Potter and the UnitarianS.

The Boston correspondent of the Springfield
Republican speaks Of the recent action of tho
Unitarian association in the matter of Mr..
Potter as follows:
1t was voted at the Unitarian association to
sustain the action of the secretary, some
months ago, in striking from the
printed list of Unitarian ministers the name of
some scruples about calling himself Christian
any longer, and had so notified the secretary.
The latter argued that if he was not q Chris
tian he could not be Unitarian, and there
| fore, rather needlessly, but naturally enough,
dropped him from the list in the yearbook of
the denomination. 1t shows how .attenuated
the spirit of persecution has become in these
latter days, that this transaction was the sub
ject of heated debate on Tuesday, in which
one ardent champion of Mr.. Potter inquired if
the fires of Smithfield over again. So from the
burning of Ridley and Latimer we have como
down in little more than 300 years to the era
sure of name from an almanac. The inter-
Potter is man full of the spirit of Christ-by
birth Quaker of Dartmouth, by training q
scholar and Unitarian, and by his later
studies radical of one of the modern
schools Of advanced thought-but in life aud
deeds devoted, humble and earnest religious
} teacher. Precisely what his form of belief
may be, cannot say-but he is a member of
the Free religious association, and the Radical
cluD, ana one or the contributors to Mr.. ABB
bots Index. L remember it was said by way of
jest among Mr.. Potter's college friends when
he came home from theological studies in Ger
many about 1857-"If you know parish
where they do not believe in personal God,
that is the place for Potter to be settled in"
land SO L suppose his form of heresy may be
some assumed difficulty of believing the ac-
cepted formulas about the divine existence.
He has been almost ever since 1857 settled over
large and wealthy parish in New Bedford;
from which he went into the army in 1868 as a
volunteer and a private, but was soon detailed
as chaplain in one of the Washington hos
pitfalls. He is one of those men whom it is un
wise to censure for heresy, no matter what his
intellectual opinions may be-for the world
will look at his good works, and say with the
poet
''For modes Of faith let graceless zealots fight;
He can't be wrong whose life is in the right"
Nevertheless see no reason, and probably
Mr.. Potter does not, why his name should con-
tnue in the Unitarian almanac. lr.

From being treated as man con-

apartment, situated near the head Of
the stairs leading from the main
entrance, is twenty feet long, twelve
feet wide aud twelve in
height. 1t contains double bed,
screened by a sliding curtain, and is
furnished with bureau, washstand,
two writing desks, one of which is for
the accommodation of his private sec
rotary, chairs, books, etc. The bureau
il supplied with all the necessary ar
tiCles for the toilet. To spare the

fore daylight, without taking the boy.
McCarmas, not wanting him, gave
him TO the flmily of +. w. Peyton.
This boy answers the description of
Charlie Brewster Ross, abducted from
Philadelphia in July last. His hair
has been cut close, but il the right

peculiar look, which il rot exactly
cross-eyed, and shades his eys with his
arm when looking up. be is three
feetsand an inch or two in height, and
about four years old. He had part OF
an unbleached Panama bat on. His
body is perfectly formed The skin is
very fair, except the scar of bright
burn on the right arm, which might
have been done TO efface vaccination
marks. His eyebrows are very light.
His eye-lashes are long for so young a
boy. He speaks some words plain,
and others not. To the question
