Saturday last the celebrated Mr. Sandiman returned hither from Piscataqua; and we hear intends to set out for Connecticut in a few Days.
Our Readers are desired to correct an Error in the Paragraph in our Paper of the 22d ult. which mentions that Gentleman's first arrival among us, wherein we inadvertently titled him Reverend; he having, as we are informed, disclaimed all relation to the honour of being called by that Name, or any pretensions to Priesthood; and that he has no Title to urge on his Neighbours his Notions of the Gospel, under Pretence of being vested with any Commission, or bearing any Message from Heaven; but that he stands perfectly on a level with them, and has no Right to dictate or assume any Airs of Authority over them.
