Close Preaching. Some time in the summer of 1800 bishop MKendrce, then presiding cider of the district, was preaching near Maysvillc (or Limestone, as it is usually called) the landing place for the most of emigrants to the upper part of the state of Kentucky. His subject naturally led him to enlarge on extortion. It was here that the emigrants were frequently exposed to impositions of various kinds from want of a knowledge of the prccs of the country. &c- With his usual ingenuity, he pressed the subject very closely. " Yes, (said he) it frequently happens, that some take the advantage of the poor emigrant too. that has removed to your fine country to become your neighbor and fellow citizen; you sell your corn or other produce at a double price, anil for the corn when it was only worth fifty cents to the bushel, vou can ask a dollar; ah ! and receive it too, of the poor man who has to grapple with misfortunes to support his

As the subject was pressed, his agitation increased; he could stand it no longer; but rising from bis seat thus abruptly addressed the preacher: " If I did sell my corn for a dollar a bushel. I gave them six months to pay it in."
