An Old Fracas.

The New York Atlas, in continuing
its "reminiscences Of fifty years ago, turns
up the following account Of Fracas in
Congress al that time. 1t is richer than
any modern scene that we remember.
"The origin of the quarrel was this
Roger Griswold, Of Connecticut, fed
eralist) and Matthew Lyon, of Vermont,
(Republican) had dispute outside the
bar Of the house, while the House was
yet in session, during which Mr.. Lyon
spit in Mr.. ~Griswold's face. A resoIu-
ton was introduced to expel Mr.. Lyon,
which passed by vote Of 81 to So
This not being two-third vote Mr. Lyon
retained his seat 1t was afterthis vote the

ferceness of countenance to which he is
unaccustomed, grasping at the same time,
with firmer nerve, the hickory stick he
had in his hand, passed OH with three or
four quick steps till he came near to Mr..
Lyon, when he raised his stick and drew
aviolcnt stroke across Mr. LIS head, who
was sitting uncovered and looking down
upon some papers on the desk which
stood between him and Mr. Griswold. The
stroke was so sudden and unexpected,
that Mr. l.. did not even make an effort.

danger Mr.. G. repeated the stroke be-

Mr.. l.. had put his cane between his

embarrassed situation, and gave several
severe strokes, which visibly staggered
him. AS soon as Mr.. l. had got INTO the
open area before the speakers chair, he
attempted TO close in with Mr.. G; but find
ing this not easily effected, by the wari-
ness Of his antagonist, he seemed com
PEELED to seek for arms that should put
him more on level with Mr. Gdiswod.
With this view he passed to. the nearest
fireplace, followed by Mr.. G., who con-
tinued striking him. At length MIR. l..
seized the fire tongs and proceeded to re-
pei Mr.. G's., attack, buiin this he was
prevented by Mr. g., who quickly caught
hold ofthe tongs also, and made thrust
with his cane at Mr.. LIS face. The com
batants now closed, and abandoned their
weapons; after short struggle they fell
side by side on the floor , when several
members interiered and separated the
combatants. Mr.. l.. Immediately express

when by accident, Mr., l.. and Mr. G.
met at the water-table, near the southeast
door Mr.. G. was now without any stick,

their eyes no sooner met, than MIR. Lyon
sprang to attack Mr.. Griswold, who,
stepping back. in some measure avoided
the blow Mr.. q. continued to retreat
until another cudgel was put into his hand
by Mr.. Sitgreaves.
On the speaker and some ofthe members
calling to order, the business terminated

siderable personal injury from the first

MRS. BANCROFT AND HER SlOC
SHAWL

1t so happened that one fine afternoon,
(says The London Alias, } Mrs Bancroft,
the American Minister'S wife, walked
down Regent Street, and called at a
fashionable store to purchase shawl
She found an excellent one, costing only
G20 and wishing to test its virtues,
she threw it over her shoulders, and
left her old one to be ordered home.
She sailed out again, sailed along up
Regen, street, desiring to make a SEN
sation with her splendid shawl, and she
succeeded wonderfully. She soon per-
ceived that she was drawing unusual
attention Some stood in great wonder
some stopped and looked, some laughed
outright, vlIlanous boys pointed with
their canes, young ladies' turned round
on passing and blushed, gentlemen on
looking at her suddenly examined the
sky for stars, and acquainlances rode by
in carriages, nodde d smiled and bi, their
lips Immediately afterwards. Whatcould
It all mean Ii certainly was unusual
and very sing gular, and Mrs. B, hurried
home out Of breath and out of her wits too
Her mind soon solved the mystery
The shawl proved to bo one which
was exhibited in the front windows OF
the shop, the merchant having forg often
to remove the show label, and there il
was still, bearing the following an.
nouncement IN magnificent capitals, Very
Cheap at G20.

DowN EAST BOYS The Two para
graphs following are from the Boston
Traveller of Friday:
A sad occurrence took place at the
Mayhem school, yesterday 1t is the
custom in this school TO give each scholar
certificate oil his standing, SC, aud Ia
require hmn TO obtain the signature OF
his parents, to insare its being seen by
them. For some reason, a lad named
Crafts, about - or IA years Of age,
failed to ge; his fathers signature to his
certificate, and when called up by the
master yesterday, drew a pistol and said
he came prepared for any emergency,
or something of the kind The master
attempted to reason, and the boy attemp-
ted to get out Of school.
He was, however, closely followed
by the master. When near the door the
boy suddenly presented the pistol at the
masters head and snapped il ; but for
tuna,ely, though the cap exploded, the
pistol did not 60 of. The boy was in
sian,ly seized, the subcommittee of the
school called in, and the pistol examined
in their presence. 1t was found to be
loaded with powder and ball.
Yesterday, the clergyman ofthe Epis-
copaI church at Plymouth, desirous to
exhibit the interior of his church TO some
ladies' visiting that town, attended them
thther. when to his astonishment he
found that the church had been entered
by two boys between Is and II years
of age, the sacristy invaded, and the
sacramen,al plate broken up preparatory
to being carried away. They had drunk
up what wine renamed, and were on
the eve Of departure when interrupted
by the visit Of the clergyman. They
were both arrested and are now in Ply
mouth Jail One of them is named Dyer.
