Quite an excitement was created here last week
by Judge Baker attempting to occupy the church,

dignitary as Bishop Lamy was highly impotc. The
church has been given up TO the Bishop till Congress
decides upon the question. II is the general opinion
that the church ought to be given upt the clergy.
