hREv. GEORGE B. TAYLoR.-A letter re-
ceived herefrom Mrs. Geo. B. Taylor, dated
at Bagni di Lucca, Italy, on the 4tn ult.,
gives the following intelligence about her
husbands labors:
"All appear to listen to him, but the
fear of the priests is overwhelming. At
one village the priests became very angry
and ordered MI Taylor not to return. He
told them he would act the gentleman,
never forcing his religion where no one
wanted it, but told them Remember,
Italy is now a free country, and if there is
one single man who wants to talk of Jesus.
there is nothing that shall prevent my
coming to talk to him. Several friends
have urged him to be careful in going out
alone at night as his life is in danger. Some
time afterwards he took a friend and re-
turned to the same village of which |
spoke, quite party of ladies accompany
ing them. When it was known that MI.
Taylor had returned quite a fierce crowd
gathered and things looked dark, but after
discussion with the priests, some sour
looks and few rocks thrown, the party
left unframed. Fhe ladies had, during
the discussion, called on poor, sick beg
ger, and given her money, which had
rather softened the crowd. 1t is believed
that but for the presence of the ladies MI.
Taylor and his friends would have been
badly beaten with sticks"
The letter says that all of Mr.. Taylors
family had been down with maliarial fever,
and were about going to the sea-shore for
health.
