"a HoAx--The article headed Extraordinary

10 a genuine humbug.. We never were credulous
enough to have any faith in its correctness, and did
not for moment imagine any one else could believe
it. We had seen, and if we recollect aright pub
lshed an article asserting it humbug, before it ap
peared in our coumns-and it never would have been
inserted except to crafty others who were anxious
that we should give it publicity. The N. Fl. Pallad
um says they pronounced the story humbug for the
dhird tie, in answering question made by the editor
of this paper. But, Colonel, we never asked such
question. Did MT understand you, till one of the
young men in our office acknowledged that he sent
last weeks Enquirer to yeu and fol curiosity, placed
the question on the margin in Urting, - for which,
we are not accountable.
In TIE WRONG PULPIT.-A gentleman from New
Britain informs US that chap by the name Of Miller,
got into the pulpit of the Methodist Church in that
place last Sunday while the congregation were assem-
bling for service, and undertook open the meeting TO
preach "Millersm," but he soon notified to quit
the pulpit BY the Pastor Of the Church, which he did
with all dispatch. The MiIerite undertook to take
the clergyman to task after service, but got himself
into hot water and made tracks directly. He carried
his gEst to the wrong mill to be ground that time.
