A remarkable instance of religious tolerance has recently occurred in the Canton of Thurgau, Switzerland. At Romanshorn the Catholics and the Protestants united for rebuilding the village church and purchasing two bells. The Catholics, out of respect to the Protestants, placed their altars in the under part of the edifice, and removed many of the ornaments of their worship; and the Protestants, on their side, built at their own expense a sacristy for the Catholics. The consecration of the church, which took place on the 15th of November, was really a festival of concord and Christian charity.--Galignani's Messenger.
