A friend in Stockbridge (Mass.) sends
us the following anecdote of Rev. Zeb.

is no man livin" who is more full of fun
and drollery
J
On one occasion, he was 1
jwending his way toward the seat of the ;
Annual Conference of ministers, in com-,
'pany with another clergyman. Passing
a country inn, he remarked to his com-
panion:
"Thc 1:ist teme 1 stopped at that tav-
ern, I slept with thc landlord's wife!
In utter amazement, his clerical friend
wanted to know what he meant.
'I mean iust what I say, replied Zeb.;
and on went the two travelers in unbrok-
Ion sita.ee, until they reached tbe Confer-
! eucc. In the early part of the session
'the Conference sat with closed doors, for
I . ....
. the purpose of transacting private busi-
I ness, and especially to attend to the an- j
! nual examination of each member's pri-
vate character, or rather conduct during
i the nast vear. Eor this nurnosc. thc
clerk called the roll, as was the custom shall die in two days. Don't do it if you neighbors gave him credit for. This may j rors, solas, etc. In the capital she found

'Does an one know aught against the
J conduct of brother Twitcbell during the
(past year? asked the Bishop, who was the
'presiding officer.
After a moments silence, Zeb.'s travel
ing companion arose from his seat, and
;' with a heavy heart, and grave, demure',
countenance, said he felt that he had a
duty to perform; one that he owed to God,
to the church, and to himself. He must
therefore discharge it fearlessly, though
with trembling. He then related what
Zeb. had told him while passing the tav-
