writing from Pridijcpor'., (Conn.) pives this nc
count of the recent f:irililHje of the MiIUt

placed in its rrnreer't'on, wo cannot say :
"On Thursday Inst Chittenden took tho
stand, nnd endeavored to prove tfint the worll

'Hallelujah' and 'Glnry'at the top ofhis voice.
He soon began pointing hii finger nt certain
individuals, making at the same titne a mut
tering found with hi n;ontli closed, which
the Millerites said meant the individual to
whom he pointed was to all it.tenta and pur
poses eternally dimmed. Tims he went from
one to another sealing up forever and ever the
damnation of individual?, ntid the len.derB all

could not he pardoned. At night, however,
fie was taken off the proitnd by his father,
and confined for a time. On Monday, another
man by the name of Campbell pot inspired
mid went through similar performance?, bcinp
joined by many others affected in the same way.
It is impossible to describe the scene. Any
person wearing a breastpin, artificial flower in
their bonneti, or a safety chain of gold, or a
gold watch, was pointed out as lost. These
fanatics would fall on their knees, and demand
of others to full before them. They pulled off
breastpins and finger rings and threw them a
vay ; broke up safety chains and scattered
them to the winds. One lady was induced to
take out a whole set of false teeth and throw
them on the ground, which were stmiped in
the dirt. Others cut ofl their hair, which they
were told was their idol ; others pulled it out,
and dried to persuade their friends to do like
wise. Two young ladies from Bridgeport were
also inspired, and p'onounccd woe upon indi
viduals who did not believe as they did, by poin
ting their fingers and making this muttering
noise, groaning, &c. A Mr. , minister
of the Episcopal church at , mounted the
stand to make some confession, and declared
that he should be no longer minister of that par
ticular church, or any other, but should do
what he could for this cause. He was pointed
at, however, by the inspired man, and had to
leave the stand. A Methodist minister hy the
name of Fuller, and a Baptist minister by the
name of Gregory, were both sealed over to c
icrnal damnation by these inspired ones. They
were however not so easily frightened. The
Methodist, Fuller, commenced praying. For
a while all went well, the Millerites crying
'Glory,' 'Hallelujah,' 'Praise God,' &c, till soon
he prayed for the poor deluded ones who thought
they were doing God servire and were not, as
king that the devil might be cast out of
them. Whereupon the Millerites cried 'take
him away,' 'stop him,' 'his damnation is sealed,'
and laid their hands upon him. Fortunately
there were friends enough to protect him. The
Millerite leaders said all this was the (fleet of
the Spirit of God, till Litch, of the 'Midnight
Cry,' saw how things were going, announced
from the stand that these things were the works
of the devil, and that the Millerites mutt leave
tin) ground. One Minister declared that the
world would come to an end this year; 'it was
just as sure as preaching. Othesof the Mil
lerites 6aid it would bo in the seventh month
from March, 1 Oil :ers that we should ne

meeting en Jed and thu inspired ones fled. It
was well for them that it did, for the people
were about adopting such measures as would
protect their wives and daughters from the in
sults of these deluded men."
