CouLDN'r GET TIE tf6ops rN.--An
amusing scene occurred on Sunday
morning in one of our city churches
cansed by the fruitless efforts of lady
to enter one of the pews. Her dress
was expanded by the fashionable hoop
ed skirts to such an extent that though
she made three several attempts TO en-
tor the pew, she could not succeed and
was Obliged to retire. Should the fash.
ion become general, it would be policy
that the pew doors Of the churches be
enlarged rather than that any portion
of the community be deprived ofchurch
