4 Methodist liiaisler arrested for ASSAULT
iag Distit3er
Fromthe Binghsmpioh Ny, Standard, Mar L
We are indebted to our friend, J,M.Eells.
Of Marietta, Ohib, for the following graphic
sketch. We are assured that the facts
transpired substantially as narrated:
"a Methodist clergyman who has been
laboring in this vineinity, not long since
preaching to his people on the miraculous
power of the Apostles over the demoniac
spirits Of their day. As he was pursuing
his theme. the audience were suddenly
startled by a voice from some one 10 the
congregation, demanding, in half'queru-
lous tone, why don't preachers do such
things now a days. In an instant every
ere in the house was turned upon the indi-
yidual who had the eIrontery titus to invade
the saeredness Of their sanctuary HTI
''The speaker paused for a moment, and
fixed his pentrating gaze full upon the face
of the questioner There was an enteryal
Of intense silence, broken at last by the
speaker in resuming his subject lie had

was again interrupted by the same imper-
tinent inquiry. Again be paused for a
time, and again he resumed his subject
Not content with silent rebuke, our re-
doubtable quesiioner demanded again,
why don't preachers do such things now
days? and curling his lip with sneer of
selSeomplacency, drew himself up POM
pously in his seat
~0ur reverend friend-who, by the way,
is young man of great muscular power
cSlnly left the desk, and walked deliberate
Iy 10 the pew, where the interogator sat
and fastening one hand firmly upon the
collar of his coat, the other on the waist
band of his 'unmentiousbles,' lifted him out
of the seat, and bore him down the aisle TO
the entrance. Pausing for moment there,
he turned his eyes upon his audience. and in
clear, full voice, said, and they cast out
the devil in the form of a distiller,' and
suiting the action to the word, out went
the knight of the mash tub, a ia leap frog
fashion INTO the street
"The good pastor quietly returned to
his desk, and completed his discourse. AZ
ter closing the services, as he was passing
out Of the church, the outcast distiller, with
an officer Of the law, escorted our clerical
friend to the Office of magistrate, to an
swer for an assault upon the person of said
dis:iller. After hearing :he case, the mag
istrate dismissed the clergyman and after
roundly reprimanding the complainant fin
ed him for mo,esling the services Of the
sanctuary. ...-.-.
Since that day We believe he has never
for uoment doubted the power of Meth
odist preachers 20 cast out devils, at least
within the limits Of the Ohio Conference"

HE MOUNTAIN OF GoLD.-The Union has
been Informed by gentleman who had Just
arrived at Sacramento, from the new diggings

all classes relative to the richness of the auri

miles in length, has all been staked off, but

to yield the overplus territory to Others Some
OF the shafts are sunken to the depth of
eighty ieet, at about which point is belt of
black mud sixty feet in width, and from
eighteen to twenty feet in depth In this are
contained those fabulous amounts of gold.
which far surpass in richness the deposits dis
covered at the outbreak of the California fever.
This layer of mud is filed with sticks and 9TH
er foreign substance, and has every appearance
OF having once been the bed of a stream.
A few days ago, three diamonds were found
IN Scorpion Gulch. near Byrne's Ferro, and
on the slope of Table Mountain. The claim
has for sometime been worked for gold and
the diamonds were picked up merely ont of
curiosity, as pretty pebbles. Upon one of
them been exhibited TO an eminent ieweller
of the city, it was pronounced fine, and
valued at sixty dollars. The claim is now
called the diamond Claim, - and the precious
stones will hereafter be saved. The party
working the claim think that in washing their
dirt they may have lost many valuable dia-
monds in the tailings which fall into the river.
Hereafter, they will be ON the look out.

other vuIgarism in common custom which

styling a mans wife his "lady." LADY"

the Specification of the word has materially
changed That from designating woman of

it has come to signify "any one that wears a

we object to its being used anonymously with
wife.
Our idea of the matter may perhaps be best
expressed by story we remember to have
seen. The wife of a Dean of the English
Church called at grocer's some distance
from her residence, and made a trihing pur-
chase, requesting that it might be sent home.
The grocer declined to send it, as the time
was worth more than the purchase. Think

write down your names at the hotel as "John
Smith and lady," but as " Mr.. & Mrs. John

PREMIUM Corn CRoP.-A field of corn

in Smithield, near Slatersyille, contained SIC
rods OF lard, by actual measurement, and the
yield was 1923 bushels of ears. This corn is
of new variety produced by Mr.. Andrews,
and is not only great bearer, but of very SUI
peiior quality. We saw two bushels of ears
of it shelled on Tuesday, and the product was
one bushel and thirteen quarts Of shelled
corn, or about ten quarts more than good corn
will average. Its weight is 81 to Ga pounds
to the bushel. The Rhode Island Society
for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry
have given Mr.. Andrews the first premium on
this corn, as being the best yield in the
State.
Mr.. Andrews last season raised French
