Their moral deGnquencies and vile practices have become obnoxious to good citizens in general. The record of scores of them in this city is such as ought to cut them off from all decent society and banish them from the bus mess houses they represent. Not only are prostitutes supported lavishly at their expense, all over the country, but they swarm at public gatherings, to practice their wiles upon thought less and unprotected young girls who may chance to fall in their way. This has become public notoriety, and for which the decent gentlemen of the profession are made to suffer in common with the sealawags.

She was the widow of Mark Baldwin who died at White Plains, Westches- ter Co.,, N. Y., in the year 1856. She was a daughter of Samuel and Mir. Elizabeth Waugh of South Farms (now Morris), Ct., and sister of the late Mrs. Wm. Parrish, of Washington, Conn. Her mother was sister of Capt Bras tus and Col. Nathaniel Goodwin, of South Farms, venerable men wen remembered by many of your readers. Mrs. Baldwin was worthy representative of the noble army of mothers and grandmothers of ''the Age of Home-spun" Gas Dr. Bushnell called it). Her life spanned one-third the distance from the small beginnings at Plymouth Rock, to the gfories of the Centennial year. Those good New England mothers, of the style commend by King Samuel's mother (Prov. 31. ), were the builders of America Their children, though drifted far westward by ''the course of empire y s'arise up and call her blessed"

As to this special Indian Orchard case, it may be said further that few years ago there would not have been on the question raised SO large minority in favor of the settlement of pastor as six to eight. This is the most sig niicant thing in the whole affair, so far as it is matter of public comment. This perhaps fair ly represents the proportion of New England Congregation ministers on the proposition of affirming (we do not say denying) the doctrine of eternal punishment. Yet the statement is freely made that great majority of C0ngre- gational pews and at least half the CongTega- tlonal ministers Gin private) occupy the non affirming position of Mir. Merriam; and that it will not be long before the verdict of Con- gregatiOnalal council on like case (where the Christian character of the. minister is undolbt- ed) will be reversed by at least eight to six.
 It is to be noted, also, that there is strug- gle in the Congregational body towards some thing of the Presbyterian unity, and on the other for the maintenance of the independence of the individual churches according to the original practice. The creed of the Indian Orchard church is the '.Apostles,' . with the sentence, He descended into hell" stricken out; and to this Mr. Merriam heartily sub scribed. The Congregational council has the authority of sort of custom and of fellow ship; and by acting in opposition to it's vote the Indian Orchard church has put itself out side of this loosely-defned fellowship, But we imagine that whatever exclusion exists will wear away in a year or two in regard to this church. The Congregational body has always had room for such men as Dr. Bushnell; and we do not imagine that it is now going to draw it's lines against such men as Mir. Merriam. n C0urGnt.
