John O. Wood, a Methodist clergyman, has been deposed from the ministry for licentious practices. — On the night of the 13th he eloped from Jamestown, Chautauque county, with his paramour, taking with him his oldest child, a smart little boy five years old. He is described as a man 28 years old, of considerable talent as a public speaker, though his early education was very defective and his manners by no means polished. He is a little under the medium size, with a square built muscular frame, low forehead and coarse dark hair. His manner of speaking is grave and solemn. Any person who knows the whereabouts of the guilty pair, will confer a great favor by writing immediately to Mr. Lyman Crane, Jamestown, Chautauque county, New York.
