THE REV. LORENZO DOW,
Has left the city of Boston, for his own residence in Connecticut, after having preached here to crowded houses. The Providence Journal says: "He has his usual keenness of expression, and oddity of appearance. His hair is long, and of a 'sable silver'--his beard which flows to his breast, is white, and his whole demeanor is quite patriarchal. In private conversation he is unassuming and racy - and exhibits strong good sense. No man, doubtless, in the Union, has seen so much of it, or is so familiar from personal observation, with every portion of the republic."
