Kendriek liart left town to go on a that linni we heard nothing of him till to-day, when a letter came from a prominent gentleman at Belleville, 111, stating that Mr. Kendriek was lecturing there and creating quite an excitement. The letter was one of inquiry asking whether Mr. Kendrickwho represented himself as an ordained Elder of Stapp's Chapel, in fact "a responsible person. The letter said that papers had been received in Belleville that contained reflections on Mr.

Kendrick's character and on this account suspicion was entertained concerning him. The answer which was sent to the above letter was not of the most flattering character, and Mr. Kendriek will doubtless find that his days of prosperity are ended in Illinois. II VKItIEI. By Rev.
