    3. Mr. GOUGH, THE TEMPERANCE LECTURER.--On Friday of week before last, this gentleman arrived in the city of New York, and put up at the Croton Hotel. On the evening of that day, he stepped out for the purpose of taking a walk before retiring.--He did not get back that night, nor the next day, nor the day after. As he was known to have had between two and three hundred dollars in money with him, besides a gold watch, gold shirt buttons, and some other valuables, fears began to be entertained that he had been fouly dealt with. He had engaged to meet his wife at Albany on Monday of last week, and hence to proceed to Montreal. But he did not reach that city as he had agreed and she went on to New York. The uneasiness in relation to his disappearance increased and handbills announcing it were posted up in New York. On Friday last he was found in a house up an alley in Walker street. He was suffering from delirium and has not yet been able to give a full account of himself. He had, it has been ascertained, taken laudanum, but whether administered to him by others or taken by himself or not is not known. In his lucid intervals he says that on the night he walked out, he met with an old acquaintance, who persuaded him to take a glass of soda water with him, in doing which he saw some glances exchanged between the person serving the water and his companion that he did not like, but he did not notice any unusual taste in the water. He soon became giddy and from that time until he was found--one week--all is a blank. This is his account, though in contradiction of it, it is said there is no soda establishment at the place he says he drank the water with an acquaintance. The house where he was found is an obscure one, and of no good repute. Of his money; some $60 remained--the rest was gone. His watch &c., were restored. It is probable that he has fallen into temptation, and been conquered by his old enemy. But we trust he may renew his devotion to the cause, for from all we have heard of the man he was one greatly gifted to sway the hearts and wills of his hearors. ____________________ MARRIED On the 7th inst. by the Rev.
