On he tore, frothing at the mouth, while his kind-hearted little wife assisted him in mak- ing every one at home, and took a diagonal course across Chester square, knocking down little girl and frightening several ladies' and prepared a collation. in which she was aided by the lady members of the society and Deacon Brown, which only increased the excitement and terror, and teamster at the corner of Washington street attacked him with dray- pin, aiming blow at his head but missing, which drew forth the rare con versational powers of the reverend gentleman and this had the effect of checking him mo-. mentarily, but he quickly recovered and turning back upon the crowd, said it was entirely unexpected and he scarcely consid- cred his humble efforts worthy of so much consideration from his parishioners, where upon there was general stampede for door ways and tree boxes, and large brick thrown by some one in the crowd struck him in the side and rolled him over, but he appreciated the kindneas deeply and quickly regaining his feet made savage dash for a small boy and caught him by the shoulder, but was clubbed off by Officer Magenta and said he should always remember the occasion as one of the pleasantest in his long career and started bowling and frothing at the mouth for the other side of the street, when Elder Johnson pleasantly interrupted him and pre- sented him with beautiful gold-headed cane, the crowd and was knocked down by cobble-stone inscribed appropriately and elegantly chased down Worcester street. where he took refuge under stable, painting for breath and happily referring to his many years in the pulpit.
