minutes too early to go to prayer meeting. At

called upon by Rev. Mr. Price of the Second
Congregational Church. of that city. He agreed
to attend prayer-meetinG before his lecture at
Mr. Prices church, and that gentleman called for
him at Z O'clock. When the preacher knocked at
the door of Mr.. Cooks room, he, instead of be
ing courteously received, was set upon by the
