A Sporting Parson.
The Inhibition of n hunting rector
by his bishop reminds a correspondent
that the Rev. Jack Bussell, the fa
mous west country sporting parson,
was once cited to appear before the
bishop of Exeter to answer eburges of
neglecting his spiritual and parochlnl
duties, and lie was also remonstrated
with for keeping and following a pack
of hounds. The charges were proved
unfounded, and Russell refused to
give up the sport, which he continued
to pursue almost to the day of his
death In 1883. at the age of elghty-
