The Latest Roop Story.

Quite ludicreus scene occurred in one of the
churches of St. Catharine, G. w, few Sab
bath since. One OF the largest kind Of hooped
females, after sailing up tho aisle in splendid
style, without accident either to herself or the
worshippers, attempting to enter a pew, but
sqairIns, kicks, squeaks, and oontoriions Of the
fair occupant, were unavailiug to move the
sconsarn.' The sexton-who is colored man
and one OF two Of the church officers, per-
ceiying her difficulty, humanely resolved to re-
heve the distressed danlsel; bot 1t was no GO
she could neither be got in or out, SO firmly
was she Eedged in. They tugged aud pulled
and heaved until the sweat stood in large drops
on their fereheads, and went trinkling down
their noses in as beautiful manner az the oil
ran eff Aaron's beard, and when the case ap-
peared too desperate almost for relief, short Of
cutting away good many teetsof the pew, the
colored gentleman's face suddeAly frightened
up with an idea, Lets cant her, boss-let's
cant her!' and the poor thing, despite her cx-
postulation, was canted accordingly, amid
universal laugh from the congregation, and
thus was she relieved from her troubles.
