TERRIFIC EXCITEMENT IN CHURCH-A very
large congregation assembled at st. Mary's Church
(Cetholic) On Sunday evening last to hear a dis
course from Rev. Mr.. Guerdet, on various topics
relating to Catholic doctrnas-the immaculate
conception, regard due the Virgin Mary, &c The
church was denSely crowded, and there could not
have been less than $500 people present When
the discourse nearly finished the larfn of fire
on Bridge street was sounded, and severa, persons
went out. This caused some confusion, the seryi
were suspended temporarily until order could
be restored. The congregation had mostly risen
upon heir feet and the number going out increased
the aisle had become filled, and an immense crowd
had reached the doorway At this moment fer
rife cry was raised that the 'church was on FIRE"
A panic instantly seized the whole audience the
crowd at the door rushed With terrific fright back
towards the altar, trampling and crushing each
other in a most frantic manner. Women screamed
and tainted, children screeched with terror men
rushed to the windows and dashed through them.
carrying sash and all, women and men were seen
rushing across the tops OF the pews to the rear of
the ebuilding-presentingR scene of confusion, fright
and terror that is totally indescrib8ble The dense
mass in the asles were forced back towards the
altar with irresistible power in hopes of getting
egress through the vestry, ana large number
succeeded in getting out that way Some went to
work batteriDg down doorway the south side
of the west end of the church, which was not used
and had been permanently closed. Some fifteen
minutes elapsed before the alarm was found to be
false, when most OF the congregation had got out
number of ladies were carried home in a faiptipg
condition and several were more or less Injured
but we have heard of none being hurt seriously.-
