az Bishop Haven has published Letter
in relation to his denomination of General
Grant for the Presidency at the Boston
Preachers Meetings. 1t is evident there
has been a good deal of exaggeration in
relation to the occurrence. The original
Associated Press despatch sent from Bos-
ton on the afternoon that the speech was
made represented that Bishop Haven urged
the denomination of President Grant as q
measure of public safety, and that the
large audience of clergymen and delegates
to the Sabbath School Union and Tract
Society unanimously approved the recon-
mendation. What the Bishop actually did
say was, as he tells US i'll his letter, "lf
we throw over our present ruler, who has
saved us once, we shall rue it. Pray, my
brethren, for the denomination of Presi-
dent Grant. To this there was a response
of "Amens" and some applause, and
afterward his remarks were approved by a
rising vote. Stripped, then, of all the
dramatic features with which the lively
pens of correspondents have adorned the
circumstance, the simple fact seems to be
that Bishop Haven urged his hearers to
pray for the denomination of President
Grant, and they expressed their approval
of the suggestion, first by amens and APP
plause, and afterward formally by rising
vote.

A Patrol.-In consequence of the recent
robberies here, and the strong probability
that there are mere to follow, because Of
the impunity with which they may be COM
mitted, as we'll a. the financial condition of
the country, it has been suggested that the
Town Commissioners should provide for
the patroling Of the town at night for the
next three months. The expense will not
be heavy, while it makes the property of
our citizens secure from the hands of the
burglar and torch of the incendiary. If
our merchants and others who are more
particularly interested in the matter, will
get up petition to the Commissioners and
place it in two or three public places, no
doubt our citizens would sign it to such an
extent that the Beard would at once take
the subject into consideration.
