EXTRAORDINARY Story ABOUT NEW YoRK
CLERGYMAN.-The New York correspondent of
the Charleston Courier gives long account of
a most strange story which he alleges to be
strictly true. A beloved and elderly pastor of
the New York city churches was called upon one
night, by man who requested him to 20 and
christen two of his children. He promptly
complied. As he was returning home, he was
accosted by person who called him by name,
and accused him of issuing fl OH house of i'll
fame Money was demanded of him, and in
default of paying it he was threatened with ex-
posure. The clergymen took no notice Oft for
awhile; but his steps we're dogged perpetuay
till finally it began to wear on him. He told no
one, but left and went to Europe, thinking
thereby to escape from his tormentors. But he
was mistaken. On his return they still pursued
him. He resigned his charge, to the astonish.
ment of his parshioners, who could not compre.
hend the reason. He went to a country village,
was still pursued, and it is believed, dreading
the effects of such reports, false although they
were, he actually paid hush-money. Finally the
rascals were arrested for some other villainy,
when this whole affair leaked out, and the cler-
gyman went back to his church. 1t all tran

Winter Wheat in Iowa.

The Dubuque Tribune, Of the I'd says:
Our adviccs from every county in the State
give an unusually good account of the winter
wheat. The heavy SHOWS have protected it from
the coolest weather, and the abundance of rain
and melting snow in the month of March, has
given it vigorous start. A moist March, such
as we have had this season, goes far toward in
suring good crop of winter wheat.
Exactly the opposite of this is true of this vi
cinity, on both sides of the river. Every farm
fall wheat is dead, frozen out past all recovery.

noosihR LApiks Va. W WutsKY.--There has been
another women's whisky riot in Parke county,
recently, of which We find the folio wing account

II seems n fellow by the name Of Barton has
been keeping low flung, dirty doggcry in
Mansfield for some time, and it had become so
great nuisance that it could not be borne any
longer. The ladies OF Mansfield, to the number
of eight or ten, assembled on Wednesday last,
went into the den, knocked in the heads of bar
rels and hogsheads, and the mean "forty-rod'
rot-gut ran as free as the waters of Big Rsccoon
for some time. After doing this good deed, the
ladies returned quietly to their homes. The
proprietor of the .'blue ruin" was awful mad
oh, "tremenjus mad' He came TO town to pro.
cure lawyer to prosecute the ladies, but didn't
succeed in finding one mean enough to take .
fee, and he was last seen making tracks for
to get a lawyer there. The
friends Of Barton, we learn, are making purse
to start him up again. Three cheers for the Ia.

merchant ships by public armed vessels, as well

full grouping of objects in themselves decidedly
pretty and interesting The young ladies and
misses were dressed with much neatness and
good taste, arranged to the best advantage, and
did much credit to their training. Their move-
ments were graceful. and their songs and chor.
uses executed in fine style. Songs we're sung
by little misses who could hardly have entered
upon their teens, which were received with rap.
turous applause, and we're really fine.
