SCENE IN A PARISH CHURCH,
An extraordinary scene was witnessed in Wester-
field Church, near Ipswich, last Sunday afternoon, in
which the Rev. C. Drage, the clergyman, and Ox-
borrow, the parish clerk, figured as the principal
actors. It appears that a feeling of ill will has for a
• long time past prevqi:ed between the parties,
arising out of matters altogether of a secular
n Itt re, and which, after occasionally manifest-
g itself in "scorn meetit g scorn, and will pre-
pre ienting will," was, at length, brought to a crisis on
tl.e afternoon in qu,stion. lodications of the ap-
pro idling outbreak vi e,e discernit,le in the morning,
in a declaration made by Mr. Drage that he slicu:d
object to admin'ster the sacrament to Oxborrow oil
Sunday next, (to-morrow). In reply to this virtual
threat of exccm-nunic:ition, Oxborrow, in very de-
cided terms, said he should be in his place at the
celebration of the solemn ceremony, and if he were
not admitted as a communicant he should hold Mr.
Drage responsible for the consequences. To get out
of the difficulty, and at the same time to make good
his word, or to put a more charitable interpretation
upon the omission, the rev. gentleman forgot to give
the usual notice, "On Sunday next I purpose,
&c. ;" whereupon the probability is founded that the
sacrament will not be administered to morrow.
However that may be, the time for the afternoon
service came round, and the village worshippers
were reverentially awaiting its commencement,
when their pastor, befittingly robed, made his
entry from the vestry door. At that moment
Oxborrow, it seems, was in the act of putting
a valedictory question to one of his neighbours
Supposing him to be engaged in conversation, Mr.
Drage rebuked him, in the hearing of all present,
in words to this effect, " You parish clerk, you must
not talk to the congregation !" " You're very imper-
tinent, Mr. Drage !" was the prompt rejoinder of that
functionary. One can scarcely comprehend the as-
tonishment of the simple-minded rustics, gathered
within the sanctuary, at so unseemly and unexpcted
a preparation for public prayer; and how much
wider their eyes must have opened at beholding
Mr. Drage, after mounting the reading desk, and
turningaover the leaves of the prayer-book for a
moment or two, suddenly descend from his eleva-
tion, advance to the front of the clerk's desk,
and commence a regular altercation with that
individual. Such, we are assured, was the fact.
We cannot record all that passed, but it can be, with
safety, affirmed that their interlocution was not distin-
guished by much deference or regard to the sanctity
of the place. A threat of " I'll turn you out ? '
was heard to fall from Mr. Drage, to which
a defiance that he " couldn't," was returned by
Oxborrow. Several of the congregation, disgusted
with the squabble, arose from their seats, and quitted
the church, and one old man very pointedly ex-
claimed, " We didn't come here to listen to a row,
but to hear a sermon." " What's your name?"
abruptly demanded Mr. Drage, striding towards the
man ; no answer being given, the demand was directed
to others, "'What's his name ?"—still without re-
sponse. It is stated that a son of Mr. Drage, con-
nected with the legal profession, took part in the
" wordy war," by asserting in an audible tone that
Oxborrow had t' said enot g-,' a remark which e'ici-
ted from his father a direction to " take it down in
writing ;" the clerk, not one whit abashed by the pre-
sence of a representative of the law, adding, " yes,
then hand it to rue and I'll sign it." At length, his
anger having become pretty well exhausted, Mr.
Drage re-ascended the reading desk, and proceeded
with the service, but not without the perturbation of
his mind being occasionally observable in his voice
and manner.—Suffolk Chronicle.

INTRAMURAL BURIALS.—The authorities of the
parishes of St. Giles and Bloomsbury met yesterday, to
consider an order of the General Board of Health ad-
dressed to the churchwardens, relative to the churchyard
of St. Giles's. The churchwardens were directed not to
cover the surface of the churchyard with quicklime, as
advised by the General Board of Heahh, such a use of
quicklime being admitted by the General Board to be
dangerous to health, and also being in the opinion of the
authorities of the parishes a positive nuisance. Tho
authorities, with the approbation of the rector and
churchwardens of St. Giles's, ordered that no new graves
should be opened in the churchyard, and no interments
allowed, except in family vaults and graves.
A, RELIGIOUS MOTIVE FOR MURDEH—The Journal
de l Oise intornis us that on the ;31st of October a strangecrime was committed at Jouy-sous-Thelle. A woman
aged 45, named Elizabeth Lebrun (nee Loire), having
nothing particular to occupy her attention, endeavoured
to procure a little temporary excitement by strangling
her sister with a packet of rihands. Having perpetrated
the murder, Lebrun went to the brigadier of police and
surrendered herself'. She manifested no emotion when
confronted with the corpse of her sister, and stated that
she had no particular motive for perpetrating the murder.
The sisters having long resided together on the most
friendly terms, it is the general opinion that the mur-
deress was a religious monomaniac, and that, deeply con-
vinced of the fact that the present life is an intolerable
evil, she thought to render her sister a great service by
sending :her soul to heaven. Under these circumstances
her acquittal may reasonably be hoped for.
Loss or THE SHIP Arunno.—Accounts have been
received from New York reporting the wreck of this
vessel. She has been seen bottom upwards off Cape Horn.
All hands are supposed to have perished. The ship was
from California, and is supposed to have had * barge
amount of the " diggings" on board.
