Here the unfortunate Rich- ardson, murdered by the infamous McFar- land, spent his last hours of agony, and here occurred that caricature of marriage in which Beecher and O. B. Frothingham officiated. This was one of that series of blunders which showed the world the weakness of the gifted but erratic orator. From the present stand- } int we can look back without surprise at an act whieh then shocked the community. If marriage had been strictly proper, the ahi could have been united by a macis- rete, or by any preacher whose conscience might permit him tooficiate. summon- ing of two such divines from adtstance was intended to throw the haloot their reputation @:ound a union whose history ix disreputable, It was Beecher's induction into the free-loye clique.—Cineinnaii Gazette.
