MINISTERIAL PEcULIARIT1Es.-The late
Bishop Hedding used to tell the story OF
Young minister, who was arraigned be-
fore one of the Conferences for indulglng
to great excess in the use of exaggeration.
Not that he positively lied, but superla-
tives flowed SO freely from his tongue that
often great harm was done. He was SEN
tenced to be publicly admonished by the
Chair The Bishop administered severe
rebuke, when the young man arose bathed
in tears, acknowledged his fault, aud his
determination to do better. In closing
he said, al regret it; have wept over it.
Yes, brethren, by night and by day | have
wept on account of it, and l can truly say
it has already caused me to sled barrels O
tears"

dated October 90, from which we make
the following extract, to show how mat

"The Mofmons are toleiably quite at
present, though occasionally they show
the cloven foot. Yesterday Joe and
Brigham Young, sons of the prophet,
went into Gilbert & Gerrish's store, and
were impudent to Gilbert, when he col
Jared them and summarily elected them
from his store. Joe got on his horse, and,
drawing his revolver, attempted to ride In
and shoot Gilbert, but Brigham being
lit tie mole discreet, pre-, ented him. a
crowd gathered around, revolvers were
drawn, and trihe then would have pro
ducsd collision. If Joe had not beer
stopped he would certainly have been shot
Some Mormons went then and arrested
them both, pretending to take them to th'
calabeose.''

Fight between ati Editor nnd IL

CODgressmam.
The editor of the Coshocton age"
Rep. and Gen. joe. Burns, the defeated
Iecompton Congressman and candidate
for reelection, have had a fight. The
editor tells the story thus: ~
We met Rurns upon the pavement
with our usual morning saluta ion, and
he walked as if going 10 pass us-which
put us off our guard. When opposite ne
pitched into US, and strange to say, con
sidering that he weighs about sixty pounds
more than we, he bore us to the ground,
he falling underneath; but the ground be-
ing little in his favor, our smallness OF
size enabled him to turn us under, when
he aimed fifteen or twenty blows at US.
while we warded them of 10 the best ad-
vantage as Wentworth would say, "with
our face.'' We placed ourself in posi-
ton obedience and drew our "sixshooter."
When it suddenly became necessary TO
seperate us-Burns was in danger OF being
slightly hurt. We are not aware that
there was a Republican within hundred
wards Of the scene Of the mele at the time
/. occurred, so lhatwe were entirely in
their power and at their mercy: y y
We presume theimmediate reason for
our being attacked last week was, that W.
VIM. Burns, a sonof the General. had just
received an appointAent from the Presi'
dent, out of which large fortunes are
sometimes made, and he was fearful thai
we might connect this appointment with
! the charges which had been made in Con
Oress last winter against the General him
self of bribary and corruption, and tha
this was in par. pay for the price of hi
vote. and he hoped thereby 10 frighten Vi
from making that charge.
