1t is reported here that Rev J. W.
Register, a Northern Methodist min
ister who breaches at this place, and
several churches in the country
around here, found note on the pull
pit at Liberty All, addressed to him
self, and couched in very insulting, in
decent and vituperative language, ac-
cusing him of scandalOus conduct,
and warning him, on the peril Of his
life, not to attempt to carry on a pro-
tracted meeting that was announced
to begin there last Saturday. Mr.
Register, very sensibly paid no atten-
ton to the threat but went ahead and
preached as though nothing had hap
pened, and the result has proven that
a man mean enough to write such a
note is too cowardly to carry his
threat into execution. So far as We
know, Mr. Registers character is be-
yond reproach, and such a charge,
from such source, does not effect
him in the least. We call upon all
good citizens everywhere, and more
especially those in the vicinity of Lib
