Rev. S. Earp, Formerly Rector Of

St. Andrew's parish in this city, but who left here undèr a heavy cloud of unbusiness-like finaneial transactioiw, (to put it mildly) some three or more ago, has been formally deposed froru the ministry ty Bishop Davies. . He had been inhibited frora preaching iu the diocese into whieh he removed from here, but the action just taken eloses all the churches in the worW to hiim. When the matter was brought before Bishop Davies recently, he wrote to Mr. Earp, told him what action was about to be taken, and asked him what hie desires were in the matter. The answer came to take such actkxn as was deemed for the best interests of the church. As a consequence there was but one thLng to 60. But for the mania of Mr. Earp for borrowing and raising money iai unlawful ways with no possitile chance of ever repaying, exeept by borrowing again from some victim, he would make one of the most valuable men in the pulpit to be found in the country. He was a great worker and could build up a congregation, and keep it built up. His wife and children, who must share in his disgrace, deserve a better fate. Mrs. Earp ie a refined and excellent woman, and the children are bright and promising, and it seems hard that this millstone of sorrow should have to always be hung about their necks. Used up- Flags. Far fetched- Teag. Hen pecked- .Corii. Keep the ball a-rolling - Billiards.
