Startling Scene in Church.

Last Sunday afternoon, in the lst Congregational church in North Chelsea, Ms, during the singing of tie second hymn. labid dog of enormous size rushed up the side aisle and commenced an attack upon the pew of Mr. Jonathan
 Harrington. Failing to effect an en. trance. he sprang with spasmodic leap to the pulpit, beating furIously against the doors, until he fell on the head stair exhausted, and frothing with impotent lage. The audience were instantly thlown into great confusion and gene ral rush for the doc, seemed somewhat to ensue. They wsre treasured, howev- CT, by caution from the pastor, kev. Norwood Damon, 10 be composed and remain in their seats as the surest means for safety. a ,~" '" At this crisis, Mir. Ephraim Pierce. a young man eighteen years old, son of Capt. John Pierce, stepped up and seized the animal by the back ot the neck, and, notwithstanding several attempts to bite, succeeded in dragging him from the EhOuSe QlNaIneu. 1ne uoOfS were closed and the dog fled to the adjoining grave yard, where he was subsequently shot. Alter quie: was restored, tho choir in |ished thelr hyrnn and Mir. Damon pro, nounced sermon on death, member of the congregation having died On the previous week. MT, D. took occas ion to illus trate in one of his points, the in st!nctive fear of man to death, and of dangers tending 10 death, by the occur, fences of the hour. Ike also eaul toned ais audience against panic, in sudden, supposed, or real danger, instanping the ,chool disaster in New York and the
 destruction of emigrarts on board the atlantic. lie spoke of the necessity of
 elf possession, 10 the exercise of sound
 discretion and the prompt selection of available means of safety or remedy. lie concluded with we'll merited com pllment to young Pierce. to whose hero ism he said too much praise could not be awarded-and also by reference to

That the English much prefer the success of the Locofoco party is abun- dantly p,oved The extracts from British newspapers standing at the head of our columns are conclusive. We now re- publish an extact from another British paper, ia order to k, ep il before the peo. pie:
 "A late number Winner & Smiths Liverpool Times gives the true cause Of British sympathy in favor of Pierce. Tn the following language: -.-
