An sdjournment was then made to tho dinner- tablo, whiere the other guests of the hotel sconmed on oxcollont terms with their persccuted noigh- bor, aud asked s numbor of quostions relative to lis intontions, Ono gontieman, on ronding tho account of the unseainly wranglo of the ovnnhnfi Dofore, remorked that hoboliovad thoy hated onc othora worso than McCarthy, and added, quito honestly, that ho thanked God that he was not a Chiristian—nt lonst not a Baptist, Tho qualifica- tion was made in o groat hurry, ns bo saw tho amused look which” cnmo over his auditors on liearing the firat part of the remark. : TEMPERANCE AGAIN, Agnin roferring to the tomperance {:myor- meetings, Mr, MeCarthy seomed to inve changod Lis intontions somowhat from those which Lo hind at tiest stated, 1losaid that it was cminontly woman's work, and, hence ho objected to mod- dliug with it, ' 1€ fho women wished to com- menco it, ho was willing to nid as far as ha could, but he hardly felt asif ho could do tho project any good by advocuting it just now. A n reply to a dircct quostion as to what he shoutd do about his pastoral relations, Mr. Me- Carthy eaid that ho had as yet formed no defi- nito plone, Ho might issue @ manifesto to the publio to right himself and show up the charac- ter of tboso attacking him.

It will be romembered that the roverend gon- tleman sunounced Tuesday osoving, at tho meoting of the membors of the 'churely, that on the following night bo would be at hamo in -his church, and would preach to such as eamo. Accordingly, at thoe hour ap- pointed, 8 considorablo crowd assombled with tho expoctation of pivking up some crumbs of graco or fensting on further scandal, as the cage may bo, When the reportor arrived ULON THE OROUND ha found the zealous flock gathiered on the out- sido of the walls of tho church, and sufforin, somowhat from outward cold, but burning with inward zoal, and anxlous to get in, whiols they couldn't, a8 tho doors wore locked and barri- _cadod against them, In order to bo suro of this fact, the roporter triod them, and found that, although he could move tho' door sulliciently to pasa tho holt, it wonld not open at his ropeated efforts. pity concluded, theroforo, that thero wasg somo ono inside, or elso that thoy woro barred by tomporary barriers.
