The account OF the rumors with reference 10
the First Presbyterian Church, published In
this column two mornings ago, while II is not
denied that such rumOrs have been circulating
among the faithful, is stated by some. who claim
to know, to be not OF good foundation. 1t Is not
denied that DR.. Horton did receive an invitation
10 preach in a Congregational pulpit in Provi-
