wrote that unless the matter was satifactorily explained, all ministerial intercourse must cease. This was founded on the fact that the old parishes had territorial limits, be- yond which a minister was regarded as an interloper. Dr. PUFFER recognized this claim, but explained his action in this case in such a way that Mr. WHITNEY was satisfied, and amicable relations were restored. The correspondence is a fine specimen of precise, dignified and courteous com- position. But what a change! No one would think of resticting a protestant family in the choice of a minister on the sad occasion of a funeral. The following notice of Mr. WHITNEY is quoted from the "History of Northborough," by his successor, as a just tribute to his memory: Dis- tinguished for the urbanity of his manners, easy and familiar in his intercourse with his people; hospitable to strangers, and always ready to give a hearty welcome to his numerous friends; punctual to his engagements; observing an exact method in the distribution of his time; having a time for everything, and doing everything in its time, without hurry or confusion; conscientious in the discharge of his duties as a Christian minister; catholic in his priciples and in his conduct; always taking an interest in whatever concerned the prosperity of the town and the interests of religion-he was
