FROM present appearances it would
seem that the Rev. Mr.. Newman has
declined the appointment as pastor of
the NJ. E. Church in this place. At
any rate, he has failed to put in his ap-
pearance here, and our postmaster on
Wednesday evening received a card
from the reverend gentleman, direct
ing him to forward his mail matter TO
Baltimore, proceeding which justifies
the belief that he does not intend to
accept the appointment. 1t will be
the duty of the Bishop of the Confer.
ence to hunt up another minister to
take charge of the NJ. E. Church here.
The supposition is that Sir. Newman
does not consider the pasture in the
Lords vineyard hereabouts sufficiently
" fat, !" for his pomposity; and since
such motives seem to actuate him, per-
haps our Methodist friends have made
lucky escape Mr. Newnam's action
is sad commentary upon the religion
