Three Fighting DeacOns.

The Cleveland Plamdealer is responsible for
the following
In a small neighborhood In Genauga county
lives three deacons The first is Methodist
the second Presbyterian and the third Bap-
fist. All live quite respectable distance from
their meeting house, and as the travelling is ex-
cessiycly bad at this season of the year, they
concluded to hold meetings at the little red
school house in the neghborhood. The ques-
ton then arose which denomination should hold
the first meeting. The Methodist claimed the
privilege ofopening the ball. The Presbyterian
demanded it. The Baptist insisted upon it.
They wrangled over the matter until the dam
der OF each deacon rose to fever heat, and each
vowed he would hold meeting at the red
school house the very next evening, which hap
pened to be Friday last, and on that evening,
at early candle light, the school house was
crowded with Methodists, Presbyterians, Bap-
tists and several who belonged to no church.
The Presbyterian commenced reading cat
echism. The Baptist, at the same time, arose
and commenced reading a tract on immersion
The Methodist at the same time struck up an
old-fashioned hymn, shouting it forth at the top
of his lungs. The effect was udicrous 1t ap-
parenty struck the mixed congregation so, for
they all commenced laughing. The Baptist was
wheezy. He sank exhausted into his seat, while
the Presbyterian and Methodist continued All
at once, the righteousness of the scene struck
the Baptist, and he INDUCED in protracte1
horse laugh This dispeased the Presbyterian,
and forgetting himself he dealt the Baptist a
stunning blow under the right ear The Meth
odist threw his hymn book down and ran to
the rescue of the Baptist. He arrived just in
time to receive the Presbyterians iron fist be-
tween his eyes. The Baptist and Methodist
rallied, and together they attacked the Presby-
terrain, but he was too much for them. The
scene that ensucd beggars description. Chairs
were overturned, window glasses were broken,
women shreked and men yelled. We have no
wish to make fun of an affair which has caused
so much profound regret among the religious
people of Genauga. We merely relate the facts
the matter is in litigation

NARROW EscAPEs.-Mr Lingle, just arrived
from Carson Valley, tells the Marysville Demo
Graf how two men escaped from the battle field
on the Truckee, thus;
Capt Allen, of Timbuctoo, was closely pur-
sued on horseback by a mounted Indian and
could not turn to fire because the very act of
turning would be the signal for the Indian to
fire. As for the Indian, he was only waiting 10
get within sure killing distance, and near
enough to halt and draw bead before his vic
tim would be out of range. The advantage was
all on the Indians side, had he not concluded
to take short cut by running to the right of
knoll. Seeing the movement, Allen suddenly
refined in his horse, and, by the time Pah- Ute
got round point of the knoll, had his rifle lev
eled. The Indian was coming at full speed to-
wards him, and could not rein up in time to ire
Allen took aim and pulled trigger, and down
came the Indian. Thus he escaped Black
burns horse was shot from under him, and he
was fighting on foot. riderless Indian horse
came near him, saddled but not bridled With
desperate effort he leaped into the saddle,
guiding the wei-trained animal with his hand,
after the Indian fashion, when they rode with
out bride. Over bluffs and fallen timber.
through woods and thickets, he rode, in this

of the ten Governors of New York city:
a." Five Governors at time in the penitentiarv
have drank themselves drunk, and then, quar-

common thieves, and wound up by getting into
fight, pelting each other with glasses and the
remains of their dinner, smashing the furniture.
and then hanging their hats upon the lamps,
they have rolled under the table to sleep off their
debauch. 1t is by no means an uncommon &C.
currence for the Governors and their guests to
be helped down to the river and lifted into the
boats by the prisoners, being too grossly intox-
icated to help themselves. At such times our

in language and behavior lewd and disgustingly

A REMIYIscENcE.-M. G. Vallejo has just been
elected Mayor of the city of Sonoma, in Sonoma
county. We are reminded by this event of an
incident in the life of the General and in the
history of California, which took place fifteen
years ago in the pueblo of which he has been
elected Mayor. The event is recorded by him
self, in report made to the Legislature of CAL
ifornia at its first session, in 1850, "On the
derivation and defination of the names of the
several counties of California" In speaking of
Sonoma county, he says:
In the pueblo de Sonoma there occurred an
incident which will render the town celebrated
in the history of the country. On the 18th day
of June 1876, of perpetual memory, certain
parsonage lColonel Fremont ordered certain
flag the bear fiag] to be there hoisted, on
whose white surface was conspicuously to be
seen certain animal after other certain per-
sonages had taken the place by surprise, they
took certain parsonage General Vallejo prs-
oner to a certain fort Suffers, on the eastern
bank of a certain river, in which they locked
him tor two months during which he was over
taken by certain desease which prevails there
yearly and from which he was get at liberty
when very nearly on the point or on the eve of
settling accounts with a third parsonage, whose
emblematic figure throughout the world is that
of skeleton armed with scythe in his right
hand. Contra Costa Gazette.
RESCUED CAprlvEs.-Mrs. Page and little
Mexican girl named Mercedes, recently carried
off by the Indians in Arizona Territory, have
been rescued. A correspondent of the s. F.
Herald says;
Mrs. Page was left for dead, pierced with ar
rows and lances. Her suiferngs were very
great. The poor woman remained sixteen days
in the mountains without food-wounded and
alone She finally crawled to the road, where
she was picked up by some travellers and brought
in, almost naked and ife!ess The Mexican girl,
Mercedes, at the time in the hands of the
savages, where she would have remained but
for the untring efforts of the gallant and veteran
Captain R. S. Ewell, U. S. A., in command of
Fort Buchanan. Captain Ewel spent twenty
sleepless days and nights in pursuit of the
wretcbed captlves, and at length recovered the
little girl from the Mesquallero Apaches.

time of her capture.
