SINGULAR SCENE IN A CHURCH.

CSGAsi1 1AN "A SAtSANSiA'
PLEASANT VALLEY. Barkhamsted, March
2s.-A singular incident occurred here yes
terday Sunday afternoon. A preacher
from some other town, had been expected to
hold forth in the Baptist Church, and the au-
dence were gathered, and the preacher arose.
After announcing his text, he proceeded with
his sermon, but had not gone far, when he
said to the astonished audience:
Il have been instructed not to preach any
thing of Aboltionism or Republicanism-
dU. must serve my master, and =
At this juncture, Deacon Dooltte rose and
said
Hold on. It's my impression that You
have said enough" Turning To the aud

But this church is not the proper place. and
it cannot be parmitted If You desire {"
give political sermon or speech, you can do
50 at my house, or any other place and | will
warrant good audience, and you shall have
fair play and not be hurt. But YOU must not
attempt it in this Church"
There was no more preaching in that
church that afternoon. These are the facts
as related by some who were in the audience
when this scene took place.

SCENE IN COURT.

The New York Express relates touching
incident connected with the close of the trial
of James Stephens, convicted in that city Of
the murder of his wife. He was attended
during the trial, which lasted for eighteen
days, by several female relatives, including
his little daughter, aged about six years
After the rendering Of the verdict of guilty
the jurors retired, the spectators dispersed.
and the sheriff with his deputies approached
the prisoner His little girl, Bella, turned
towards Stephens, and after kissing him said;
Come, pa, let us 60 now. it is all over; see,
pa the people are going" Human nature
says the Ex press, could not stand this; the
sheriff turned away to hide tear and retir-
ed, leaving the prisoner alone with his rela-
tives and counsel. Pocket handkerchiefs were
drawn out by many present, and the attempts
of the male portion of the audience to stop
up the outlet of the hearts fountains were of
no avail Such an affecting scene has rarely
been witnessed
