 Rev. Joseph H. Beaie, the kissing parson at Wallingiord, does not seem to have been fully vindicatcd, 30 far as the opinions of some Of his Methodist parishioners are concerned, by the decision of the ministers who examined his case. Joseph Bronson, a carriage-maker, told reporter the other day that he consid- cred Mir. Beale an insinuating and oily fellow, andhe doesn't allow him to kiss and fool around his wife as much as he did when he
 first came to the town. Mrs S. Hawxhurst. whose husband was of the founders of the Wallingford Methodist church, says that her pastor has kissed her and made improper advances to her, while Emily Andrews, a for mer domestic in Beale's family, and other young women admit that he kissed them, though they didn't think it was wrong, as he was minister and married man. MT. Beale's friends claim, however, that the &C., cusatioEs against him are made by disgrunt- led church members, who have had the reins of tne church taken out of their hands, and Mr. laWXhurst is soon to be tried before chuiuA committee for islander. The minister himself makes a general denial of the charges. He was prominent in raising funds for suffer- CTS by the Wallingford disaster, and was inti- mate at Wesleyan University with Rev. H. H, Hayden, whom he considers innocent of the Mary Stannard murder.
