AN INCIDENT IN THE EARLY LIFE OF BISHOP
WILLIAMS.
The Philadelphia Record says: Bishop
Williams of Connecticut, who has reached
the age of seventy-two, and is still bache-
lor, is likely to remain unmarried He has
been a bishop for nearly forty years, and at
the time of his conservation to that office was
one Of the handsomest men in New England
and the cynosure of all female eyes, By a
rare want of tact the bishop of Massachu-
sets, who was to have read the epistle for
the day at his coronation, made choice of the
one which contained the injunction "Let
the bishop be the husband of one Wife" It
raised a smile on all faces except the blush
ing countenance Of Connecticuts youthful
prelate and the wooden features of Bishop
Eastburn, who had been born in England,
and of course could not be expected to see
the point of joke.
