An Exciting Pulpit Scene.

On Sunday morning the pulpit Of
the Second Presbyterian church, cor.
ner of Twenty-second and Walnu,
streets, Philadelphia, was filled by the
Rev. DR.. Plummer, of South Carolina.
After all eloquent address, the DR.. sud
denly fell PROSTATE on the floor, and
the widest CONSERVATION prevailed
in the audience. Medical assistance
was promptly summoned, and after
fifteen minutes the unconscious clergy
man opened his eyes, and few
seconds later was enabled to announce
that his fainting spell had been caus-
ed by over exertion while preaching.
II has been less then year ago that a
similar and more solemn scene hap
pened in the same pulpit. At that
time Rev. DR.. Elias Beadle was pastor,
and while preaching one Sunday morn
ing in January last, he was seen to
stagger and fall, and in few moments
he expired. The accident on Sunday
brought DR.. Beadle's death wildly to
the mind of the congregation, and the
remembrance of the fate Of their below
ed pastor brought tears to the eyes OF
many.
