Neighbor Wishwel drove up the other

l declare, find the same old spirit of de-
nominational intolerance abroad the same
| as ever. can remember, years ago,
when prominent man In town was hauled
over the GOALS for leaving his own church
few Sundays and worshiping with his
brother In one of the churches on the
Hill. They had an ecclesiastical court
over 1t, Gov. Ellsworth coming out here
from Hartford to act as counsel. By the
| way, his charge was three dollars and ex-
penses, the same as he used to charge for
coming out here to attend civil justice
suits. Well, just heard that lady In
town was recently taken to task for al
lowing her daughter to leave her own
church to attend a very interesting bap-
tismal service In South Wellington. To
be sure, the jail, whipping post and pub
lie odium, penalties for the exercise OF
religious freedom, are things of the past,
but the old spirit, alas, grieve to say 1t,
is still extant," and the old gentleman
took his departure with snort.
