DEuCArE QUEsTIoNING.-In one of the
larger country towns of Massachusetts, a
few weeks since, a young gallant invited
some of his lady friends to go with him on
the Sabbath to small gathering of wor-
shippers of the Episcopal persuasion, and
while standing in the entry with one OF
his friends, one of the "pillars of the
Church came along, and wanted to know
If they were the couple that were going to
have child baptized? This was too
much for human nature. and the young
man left the church, and went into Cath.
elic chapel near BY where no better fate
awaited him; for he had scarcely arrived
when the priest stepped up and asked him
if he was the Young man that was poino
to be married9 These questions would
certainly indicate an extraordinary amour,
of interesting business on hand at thu
churches alluded to- Salem Gazette.

The Chicago Journal speaking of Wis

this way:
"Gov. Randall's administration is not
like that of Barstew's under which every
thing went by favor, without regard to
law or justice, or even consequence, pol
icy which brought the State upon the
verge of ruin. Gov. Randall's administra-

curtail expenses and ferret out corruption,
and during the short time he has been in

and paid in, the State will be out of debt,
