 The Boston papers yesterday con- tained the statement that Rev. O. H. Puffer of Salem, Mass, had had $25, 900 suit brought against him by a man by the name of E. A. Empy for the alleged alternating of Empy's wife's affections. Empy and his wife parted long ago, as a result, so Empy claims, of the Rev. Dr. Puffer's enter ing into his life The defendant said at the time of the Puffer's separation that Mrs. Empy had simply acted as 8 housekeeper, that he had tried to reunite Mrs. Empy and her husband, but had failed. He denies that MT. Empy has any grounds for his suit, which he has predicted would be brought. The Rev. Dr. Puffer, it is said, has long been ready to present his answer to the accusation. His friends hold that he merely was a kind friend to Mrs. Empy, when she needed friend, and that the letters breathed nothing but the natural affection from a pastor to any member of his flock. The Universalists, whose pastor MT. Puffer is, profess to have absolute confidence in his integrity.
