There is curious state Of affairs in the
Presbyterian Church at New Bedford, in
this State, and all because the book of reg
ulations governing this congregation con-
tains law that a man elected must be the
husband of a wife and having his children
in subjeciion. At the animal meeting of the
New Bedford congregation, which took
place recently, William Wright was elect
ed deacon. After the installation OF the
deacons took place it was discovered that,
according to this rule, he was not eligible
to election, he having neither wife nor
children. Wright, who is a fine old gent
leman, is greatly vexed over the situation,
and will likely resign.
