A cor e>ponden: of the Cov,ng,on Journal tells the following story
 A Imaginable affair came of. in Conco,d N. H, the residence of Gen. Franklin P'e ce. some few weeks after his nomi. nation for the Presidency.
 At one Uf the churches in Concord, where Gene'al Piece u, uallv attended public w"r: hip on the Sabbath, the cler. gym"n commenced the morning service oy reading ymn from Watts selec> tlons' and wh'lc reading the following IIne-"Fhe fearful soul that tues and tc'"ts. his eye happened to fall on the pew where sa' Frank Pierce. In mo ment. all eyes Were lu,Led in the same direction. and Gen. P~rce was p;erced by so m"ny pie'ctimg eyes, that he came ve'y near .tai"ting. After the morning was closed, several"f the political friends o' Gen. Pierce sought and obtained an interview with the said clergyman, who by tie way. is Whig. and by the nam. ol John Scott.
 During this interview the clergy man was accused of Intentionally directing the minds and eyes of his cong, egauion tow ards Gen. Ple'ce's pew but the clergy ma" assured them that they were mis- 'aken' that lt was q mere casual glance of the eye. while reading said ine.- P'erce's friends were not satisfied with this explanation; and during tue ensuing week there was great commo,ion m Gun. cord 'and throughout all the region ound about. On the Saturday following, P'erce's friends, who were members of MT. Scotts church. called church mee, llng and proposed to dismiss their Pas !o'-whereupon vote was taken by bal.

A view ot the plans and the work as far as It has progressed, leaves no doubt that wEen completed it will prove the larges. and most beautiful building yet erected ln Ame.lc,.
 The architectural form will be that of Greek cross, each diameter 365 feet surmoun,ed by the intersecli9n of the a'ms ot 8 central dome, 100 feet in di- ame:cr; each entrance 47 feet wide.- The height from the floor to the sp,iny ot the ach. 6S feet; % the crown, llS teet. The arches will be of the mode, D or semi circular style. The building wi cover two aud d half acres on the s.,ouud floor adding to which, the galleries on the inside, we have a space of four acres square. The angles on the c,oss wil, be hled up. so as to make the building, o, the ground floor, an oclayon, thereby securing much additional space. withon, at all destroying the architectural beauty of the structure.
 Tie foundations. drains. grading. &c., will be completed and delivered up on the 2lst inst. The contract for mason y. amounts to nearly $l3.0OO.
