PoLYGAMY IN NORWICH.

An Ittnerant Clergyman Says Some Sharp Things About Divorce Nm Con. necticur.
 The Rev. F. K. Stratton, of the Central Meth odist church, preached Sunday evening upon 'FPolygamy in Norwich" and held himself as | closely to his subject as the most exacting nearer could require. He selected his text
 from Corinthians, vii, 2, and with that for basis dealt with polygam y,concrete or complex, from the days of Moses to the pres ent age. He gave the simple dictionary
 meaning of the word, but pronounced it quite indefnable in the light of the present century. The Bulletin says: He came grad ually to a reference to the polygamy practiced in this city, through a review of the increase of divoroes in this and other New England States when he proclaimed 'fthat every man and woman who has been divorced for other than Bible cause, and has been remarked, is living in legalized polygamy, and there is plenty of that in Norwich; and there is an other kind of polygamy in Norwich which the poor practice shamefully in our
 midst, and for which the rich are noto- rious. Why, business man who spoke to me of the licentiousness of this place said the people had become so accus- toned to it that they do not feel that there is any use in protesting against it. These things are winked at in our midst. Since have lived here do not know of person or a paper that has uttered protest against this state of things in the State. Dr. L. w. Bacon, who is a grand authority, says there are ministers who will marry these legalized polygamists for $10' The Lord have pity on the ministers. I suppose there are minis ters of the gospel to whom $10 looks so large and the job SO small that they will perform the ceremony for the money. l won't. There are men living in our midst who have home in one place and harem in another. In crime and icentiousness Norwich is at the head. A person said, This city has a dark and scabby reputation everywhere When our merchants go to New York on business they are asked con corning the scandalous social relations in this community and they blush at the reputation of the Rose of New England.'"
