STARTLING SCENE AT A CHURCH IN san
FRANCIsCO.-0n Sunday the 18th ut., after
morning service in the churches, us the con.
gregatlOnS were being dismissed from st.
Mary's cathedral and the First congregational
church-whlch are situated ON opposite cor
ners -of the same street-a mailman, armed
with donble-barrelrd shot gun, loaded with
rifle balIs-seven in each barrel-took up a
position on the sidewalk opposite the doorway
OF the cathedral, and, as the people came
forth, took aim deliberately and blazed away
at the crowd. The scene Of CONSERVATION that
ensued may be imagined. The people from
either OF the churches scattered in all direc
tons. III lie maniac coolly surveyed the scene
and again raised his gun to fire. but was at
that instant seized by policeman who knock
ed the barrel of the gun upward us the charge
exploded, A the first fl the gunner
missed his object by little too much ee-
walton OF the weapon, SO that the bullets
passed harmlessly over the heads of the in
tended victims. The presence OF the officer
was, doubtless, all that prevented the second
fire from taking effect The panic in the
crowd was great that no one seemed to
think Of securing the assaiIant. He was taken
to the police office, where he gave a full ac-
count OF himself, and explained his intentions
lie says that he is the chosen instrument of
the Almighty TO "clean out the Romans" as
he expresses it. His original intention was to
commence at the town OF San Jose, and there
STAY as many Roman Catholics as he could get
a shot at, but, on rtht ctun, he arrived at the
conclusion that San Francisco afforded a wider
field for operations, and about week ago
he walked distance of some fifty miles
or more to this city with a gun upon his
shoulder, which lie purchased for the purpose
Of executing his designs. AT first, it was
thought that this man might have been the
person who committed the murders near Lone
mountain, recently, but close investigation
proved that lie was not connected with that
sad affair. The Lone mountain" murders
remain mystery. The crazy man gave his
name as William Prescott Crowell. lie is a
native OF Vermont, and aged about thirty
eight years. He says that the enterprise in
which he is engaged is not confined 10 San

with pleasure and with pride, the receipt from
mis- charming wee friend Dora, Ola bottle of
sparkling wine, and beautiful blue cockade
with a palmetto button in the center of it, The
ladies-God bless them--are, like their grand
mothers OF the revolution, ardent secession
lists, in favor OF separation from their northern
foes, and are resolved to bestOw their smiles
only upon southern patriots. Dora has the
heart OF Mary Witherspoon. We were at
dinner when the presents reached us, and after
exhibiting the cockade, pinned it upon our
breast, passed round the wine, and proposed
"the secession Of South Carolina, and the
speedy formation OF southern contcdvracy."
We regret that or sons were not present to
drink to Tie sentiment, which was acknow-
lodged by all present. with enthusiasm. We

CITY AND COUNTY

The CoNCERT-The first concert of the
season, by the Mozart Society, under its new
leader, Prof Frost, was given before large
audience, at Mechanics Hall, last night And
it must have satisfied all who were present,
that this city has the material for musical en-
tertainments Of superior quality. The pro
gramme embraced wide range of selections,
from the solemn "Stabat Mater, and Rossini's
joyous Liberty Chorus to the ballads and hu
morous songs OF the soloists The society
were strong i'll numbers, and gave evidence of
excellent drill. The baton of Mr. Frost is
welded i'll the imperative mood, and the .pow
er which he possesses, 10 control such body
OF singers, indicates the possibility of greater
works being accomplished by them, than they
have yet undertaken.
The choruses were well rendered, especially
"Hail to Liberty" and the "Anyil Chorus"
Miss Fiske and Mrs. Doane sang most accep.
tably, the former giving a Scotch ballad in an
swer to an encore. The "Orphan's Prayer"
quiutette and chorus, was one of the gems of
the evening, and the Duet in it, sung by Mr..
Stocking and Miss Whiting, was given with
pathos and beauty. We hope to hear Mr. AL.
lens composition again at some future concert
The barcarole by Mrs. Doane and Mr.. Whiting,
was well rendered; the Mendelssohn club ad-
ded interest by its songs and the value Of the
orchestra was conspicuous in the closing clo
rus. We congratulate the society on this
good beginning OF its winter course.

THE NIGHT TRAIN TO NEW YORK.

1t is now understood that the night mail
train, from Boston to New York, will com.
mence running next Monday. But, it is said,
the public will not be favored by this arrange.
ment as its protector intended. There is some
hitch or disagreement among the railroad
companies interested, in regard to carrying
passengers by this train. According 10 one
account, no passengers will be taken, on any
terms, but another statement intlmates that
passengers will be taken at the local rates of
fare, The Boston Commercial Bulletin has
the following on the subject -
