Discovery OF A MAsropOS IN PLYyoUrH-
We were shown to-day, by Hon. T.. J. Penni-
man, two very fine specimens OF the teeth Of a
Ma-todon, partially exhumed from section Is, in
the town Of Plymouth, in this county, by Gilbert
Shattuck. Mr.. ;. was preparing the ground 10
lay drain tiles, when the remains were dscOy-
cred. The spot from which they are dug, is on
the upland near Rouge River and the teeth be-
fore were found four feet below the surface
The larger of the two teeth il five inches in
length and three and Oue-half in BREADTH and
weighs two pounds and one ounce. This tooth
has six separate points, the highest Of which
was one inch ard half above the gum 1t has
the general appearance of lime stone. The other
tooth is smaller and broken, but presents a pet
ritied surface where the fracture H. dark in the
middle with light rim around, and Of very high
polish.
Who cau tell the centuries that have elapsed
since this huge monster was imbedded in the
swamp muck What makes this discovery the
more interesting, is the probability that a nearly
perfect specimen Of one Of the largest Masto-
dons will be exhumed from the spot where these
teeth Were found Other parts of the animal
have already been taken out. The discovery
cannot fail 10 claim the attention OF scientific

FEUD IL THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AT GRAND
RAPIDs.-The Grand Rapids Eagle states that a
disturbance ha. arisen in the Catholic Church of
that city, which promises to result in pretty
serious quarrel, unless soon allayed; growing,
a. i, understands, out of the fact that the con-
sreCation-of which much the largest proper.
ton Of the members are lrish-is refused the
services Of all Irish priest. Ii is asserted that
the priests whom the Bishop has set over them
are unable TO speak the English tongue clearly,
and that at least nine-tenths of the congregation
are unable to understand them. This grievance
was very strongly set forth the other day and
severely commented on by Mr.. Connolly, in a
communication to the Enquirer, which in turn
brought cut upon the heads of the devoted
Irish the heaviest denuncia,ions of the Bishop,
on Sunday last lie is said to have rated them
as the yeriest ignOramuses in existence, incapa-
BILE Of self government, degraded, scottish and
riotous, and much more To the same effect.
How such matter will be settled in a church
where the word of the priesthood is necessarily
the supreme law-unless the disatfected should
succumb, or the Bishop graciously condescend
to, in part at least, comply with their requests
il is unable TO divine Mr.. Connolly is out in
another article, which shows no indication of a
disposition, on the part of the Irish, to yield.

DEATH OF MAJOR JOHN BIpDLE.-A gentleman |

pEAIH OF AAJOh JoHN DINDLh-- SSAsAe- N'N-'
Of the old school-a soldier and scholar-long
familiarly known TO the earlier residents OF Mich
igan, has passed that boundary which divides
time from eternity. Tie has gone, ripe in age,
having well nigh reached the allotted term Of
mans years.
Major Biidle chose the profession OF arms, and
entered the service OF the United States a
Lieutenant in the Artillery arm, at the opening
O. the war of 1872. Tie served with great
credit, a. a punctilious and exemplary officer,
behaved with grea, coolness and bravery when
engaged, and after the close OF the war was made
Paymaster, and was stationed at Detroit. After
few years he resigned his military rank, and
entered into political life as warm supporter of
Gen. Jackson. He was elected a Delegate TO
Congress in ISIS. and in that capacity continued
his support of Jackson's Administration, from
which, however, a. was natural enough, being a
brother of Nicholas Bidile, he became alienated,
on the removal of the deposits. Aside from the
above public stations, Major Biddle held the
office OF Receiver of the L. s Land Office, and
President of the first Constitutional Convention
Since the year l>ie, Major Bidde has resided
abroad, or in st. Louis or Philadelphia. He died
OF apopleAy, at White Sulphur Springs, VA.
The deceased vas a pattern OF temperance
public and private virtue, honor, enlightenment
and truth.

A WICKED OUTRAGE.-We learn from gen
tlernan of Niles that when the Eastern Nail
train on the Michigan Central, was about half n
mile this side of that city yesterday, pistol
shot was fired into one O. the cas-. The ball,
or whatever the pistol was loaded with, broke
the glass on the side Of the car on which the
shot was fired, and passed through the opposite
window, the glass Of which was up. Ii was
fired through the last window in 'he saloon
car, and fortunately no one was in the seat
No reason can Toe imagined for the dastardly
outrage, as the Central Railroad Company j. not

one had been on the seat opposite the window
through which the ball passed, he would un-
doubiedly have been killed.-Ld. fdr.

saws with truth the troubles of the Democracy
are not confined to New York. They loom up
in all directions-cven in Ohio, where they are
weak enough to stand together, if they hope to

in their conventions, and nominating deplicate
candidates for the Legislature. Among the Ia
test is the nomination OF two aspiran:s for Sena-
torial honors in the Goth district Presidential

splits, and promise an infinisc deal of trouble in

Recall OF Lord Napier.

MANY rumors have sprung up, relative to the
recall of Lord Napier, as Minister resident al
Washington, but the Washington correspondent
of the n. Y. Tribune, writing Aug 81, gives
the real cause. He says:
81 am, at last, able TO state the positive truth
with regard to the recall of Lord NUpier, and to
dissipate the thousand groundess rumors which
have been put in circulation with regard TO it.
In the first place, Mr.. Senator Sumner had not
the slightest connection with the event; nor
had any other American in Europe at the time !;
nor was it in any way the result of American
party influence; nor had it anything to do with
Lord Napier's partially for pro-slavery states
men. The whole operation was substantially
performed by President Buchanan, and by no
other person. Mr.. Odo Russell, nephew Of
Lord John Russell, and attached to the British
Legation here, was going back TO Europe. This
is the same Mr.. Russell who has since represent
ted the British Government at Rome. When
he was about leaving Washington, Mr.. Buchanan
sent for him, and desired him to say TO Lord
Malmcsbury that Lord Napier was personally
very dsagrceabe to the Government here, and
that he Mr. Buchanan would be pleased to see
some other person in his place. The President
said that it was a delicate matter, about which
he did not wish TO send "A formal dispatch to Lon
DON but tha, he would RELY on Mr. Russell TO
transmit his request to the British Foreign Min
ister As soon as Lord Malmesbury was inform
ed of the wish Of the President, he instantly re-
called the obnoxious minister. That is the whole

PREACHER IN Coon LCCS-Mr. Sturgeon,
the London preacher, has recently received a
legacy under peculiar circumstances. A lawyer
called on him, and informed him that Mrs W,
lately deceased, had left him considerable
amount by will. The reverend gentleman thought
there must be some mistake, as he knew no such
person, but on investigation, learned that it was
fact. He went to the residence of the testatrix,
and actually saw the lady in her coffin; he then
recolected her as being constant annoyance to
him many years ago, in the Park-street Chapel,
where che had a pew directly opposite to him.
She never spoke to him, but was continually
watching him, look wherever lac would, till
he was under the necessity of speaking
to some congregational. friends to persuade
her to vacate her pew. From that time to the
present he had lost sight of the lady. So states
