CHURCH INCIDENT.

A few years since there dwelt in

N. j., n certain Betsey Baker. a very
devout, but at the same time very
nervous. hysterical, fidgetty old maid.
Now Betsey was constant attendant
OF the Rev. DR.. Horne's Church, and
during the morning prayer, and in
fact. at all periods of the sermon. she
was in the habit Of breaking out into
CALCULATIONS. such rs "Glory to God y

&c., and this, too, in the shrillest voice
imaginable. very much to the annoy.
ance Of the audience, and the discom.
future of the good Domino. whose
voice. by the bye, was very similar
in It's tone.
1t happened one Sabbath morning
that Betsey was more than usually
devout and ejacula,ory; so noisy. in
truth, that the minister could stand il
no longer and he ordered some one
to take that woman out Of church. y
Two young bucks Immediately at
tempted to carry out the Domino
wishes; one taking Bctsey by the
heels and the other by the shoulders.
She made a great lament, and strug'
sled violently, and as they bore hel
down the broad aisle, she screamed
out at the top Of her voice. ooh, Lord
God! | am served worse than our
Saviour. He rode through the streets
Of Jerusalem upon one ass, but | ride

The Church was not in very
proper mood for devotion, and We
believe service was dispensed with
'or the forenoon. As for The young
bucks they did not show themselves
again at that Church.

THE CONFLICT WITH CAPTAIN
FRENCH, THE SwINDLER.-It will be
remembered that after the party Of
California emigrants under Captain
French. was broken up iG consequence
OF the discovery of the swindIing ope>
ra,ions of that individual. he collected
gang of dcsperadoes and attacked
aud pIundcred his former companions.
1t was stated in the account Of this
affair. published IN a California; paper,
that little band Of Vcrmonters re-.
sisted successfully French's banditti.
We find in the Vermont Journal,
published at Windsor. w.. the follow
ing account Of this fight, which it will
be seen was desperate and bloody
affair:
1--WE learn that the party who con.
tended with French and his guerilaS.
consisted of about twenty, seven of
, whom went from Wright,
Nelson, Booth. Davis, Culver, and two
brothers by the name of Slack. They
were encamped for the night, on the
18th October last. when French. with
about thirty mounted men, most
Mcxlcans. suddenly came upon I
and demanded their propertYn
ing of mules, provisions, Co.,
arms. &c. Wright being the frst
whom French met. utterly refused to
surrender anything. French there.
upon drew his revolver. and fired
twice at Wright, but missed him
Wright then sprang upon and seized
French, dragged him from his horse,
and was upon the point of despatch
ing him with bowie knife, when one
of rs men, by the name Of Harris. a
Texan, stepped up behind W. and
shot him through the neck. lie died
in few minutes. Nelson, in his at.
tempts to assist Wright. received a
sho: in the back, and died in about
twelve hours. French was severely
wounded, having one arm badly frac.
tured, and a wound in his side. Harris
was also wounded, and has since died
Others were wounded on both sides
but how many of French's men is moi
known. They dis persed however
without securing much booty. Booth
with the remainder Of his party, save
two or three young men from the
State of Maine were wounded
in the ARRAY and left behind has since
arrived in California. in good health
