LONDON, Sept. 2G.-From Dorsettshrc
comes report Of religious
movement, which, it is thought, may
be followed by serious consequences. Dur
ing the course of the week an American
missionary named Morton took cottage at
Shorborne, a town in the country. lie at
once commenced series Of services IN ac
cOrdance with the rites of the Mormon
Church, of which be is member. The meet

people in the district and among them
was a grOcer's porter named Gauder. lie
was especially Jealous, and was ALWAYS
Offering 10 take his friends to the services.

the tenets of MOrmonsm did not find favor Ia
the sight Of Mrs. Guadcr, who tried in vain
10 get him 20 dcsist from his attendance
Persuasion being Of no use, Mrs. GaudcI
mad recourse to strategy. She assembled
the neighbors, especially those ladies who.
like herself, had husbands who were at
tracted by the missionary, and suggested a
plan Of action. 1t was agreed 10 accord
lingly. They started out and collected two
hundred of the lower class inhabitants

went in an orderly manner, under the lead
of the aggrieyed Mrs. Gauder, who saw her
husband In one Of the front rows near the
preacher. Immediately she gave a signal
and they rushed on the grOcer's porter,
dragged him into the street, and with him
several females who were known TO be
equally rs enthusiastic as himself. In spite
of their enireaties to be allowed to 60 home
they were compelled to parade through the
town al the head Of this little army, which
had armed itself with sticks, and in lieu Of
a band had brought out tin trays, cowhoms
and whistles. They beat the trays
with the sticks, blew the horns
and whistles, and those who had
none Of these instruments shouted at the
top Of their voices and made a fearful din
Then they escorted Gauder TO his home, and
cheered loudly when his wife, having lel
him in, closed the door. Then they returned
iquietly to their homes. 1t is now an
nounced that this performance Will be CON
tinued by them every evening until the
Mormon missionary is induced to leave hi.
Westinghouse and take himself and hi'
mnistrations to some spot more in harmon,
with his curious views.
