PREACHERS AND ELoPERs.



Richmond, Va, May 26.-In answer
to the overture about ministers marry
ing runaway couples, the Presbyte-
rian general assembly today made the
following deliverance:
"The assembly is of the opinion that
it would be both unwise and inexpedi-
ent to attempt to lay down an intiexi-
BILE rule for the guidance of its ministry
in relation to the performance of this
ceremony-the great bond of society.
The greatest prudence and caution
should be exercised by the minister's;
they should exert their influence as
far as they can properly and prudently
do so to prevent such marriages, and
only consent to perform the ceremony
in those instances where he is satisfied
from all the circumstances that the
best interest OF both parties will be
subserved by his SO doing"

"Dear Slr--I have just received your.
