Row IN THE CoLoRED CHURcH-On Sunday
last, says the Marysville Democrat, scene of
the most rantankerous nature occurred at the
colored Baptist Church, on Sixth street. 1t
seems that there is scsm in the Church, and
that the regular pastor, Randolph, is in the
minority. On Sunday, as he was holding forth,
two or three of the ''sisteriDg" suddenly sprang
up, Zone of them exclaiming Yous preaching
false doctrine !'') and, seizing him by the top
of the head, dragged him out of the pulpit
One of them doubled up her fist with the view of
sailing into him, but, pausing in her wrath,
said, No, / wont use my fists, for that's the
devils work. I'll use the Word of God on
him." And with that she laid hold of the BIZ
bic and damned it over his noggin with ven-
geance. 1t wasn't long before the male darkies
interfered, and pro and con there was such a
time as the imagination may conceive of but
the tongue connot describe. In the midst of the
melee, Rev. Mr.. Reese, (white preacher of the
Baptists) arrived and commanded the peace.
The "church militant" then quieted, the schis-
MATES retired, and brother Randolph and his
minority were left in possession of the field.

A BILLIARD MATCH.-Last Saturday even
ing the greatest billiard match ever played in
this State came off between Harry Eaton and
NJ. H. Maher, in fuckers A cademy of Music
The game was the American four ball carom
game, played upon one of Phelan's combination
cushion carom tables, fifteen hundred points up,
Maher having three hundred points odds. 1t
commenced at eight o'clock and lasted until a
quarter to ten o'clock, and was witnessed by
about four hundred persons. When the game
was at six hundred points, Eaton had nearly
closed the gap; but Maher got the play and
again ran over hundred points ahead of his
competitor. This advantage was, however
quickly destroyed by Eaton, who, in two runs,
scored considerably above two hundred points,
and took the lead which he kept to the end,
beating Maher one hundred and SIX points more
than the odds. In this game, Eaton had just
one hundred plays, and therefore averaged fif-
teen points each play Maher averaged twelve
and a-half points each play. During the great
match between Phean and Seeretier, Phean
only averaged fourteen and three fourths points
each run; but it must be remembered that he
played carom game on pocket table, which
makes a very essential difference. The match
last Saturday night was very handsomely and
scientifically played, and at one portion of the
game was very exciting.-San Francisco Her.

l7th. The circumstances are as follows:
Three men named, respectively, Cahill, Gil

ed feelings OF animosity, with the design of
killing him. A Man named Lawson, however,
who had been at work for Tyler, went to the

rlddling him with balls and buck-shot, and
then fled. They were arrested on the follow

MINES AT GOLD HILL.-In order to give
some idea of the amount of mining done within
a small compass, it is only necessary to give
list of the following mines at Gold Hill With
in the distance of two hundred and thirty-nine
feet are located ten claims which are now being
worked First, on the south, is the claim of
Logan & Holmes, of fifty-nine feet, which has
been worked to very good advantage, and
yielded probably more, for the time 1t has been
worked, than any other mine in the Territory.
Next to that is the Staples claim of ten feet,
which is paying handsomely. Adjoining the
Staples claim is the claim of Quig & Co., which
has not been worked as much as the others,
but is equally as rich as its neighbors. Next
in order is the claim of Mosheimer and j. D.
Winters of thirty feet, rich as could be desired.
j. d. Winters has lately purchased twenty
feet adjoining this claim. Adjoining this is the
Bowers claim of ten feet, which we have fire.
quently alluded to. Next is the Plato claim
of ten feet q return of which is presented in
another column. Harold & Dryman have
twenty feet adjoining the Plato. which is being
worked to good advantage. Last in the list
is the claim of Henderson & Co. of fifty feet,
which, although not fully developed is supposed
to be as rich as the claims in its vicinity. All
the claims enumerated are valued at from one
to three thousand dollars per foot. Territorial

The DIFEERENCE.-1he " ashington
correspondent Of the Dubuque Herald
gives the following:
"Gen. Van Antwerp, from Keokuk,
has been here for some weeks, endeav-
oring to obtain permission to raise a
regiment. He has received military
education, and is in every respect pro-
per person for that purpose. He was
told that no more regiments could be re-
ceiyed from Iowa. Subsequently, how
ever. j. w. Rankin, Of keokuk, came
on the same GRAND, and received forth
with authority to raise regiment In To-
wa. Rankin knows nothing of military
matters, but he is a Republican and Gen.
Van Antwerp a Democrat, which may
account for the milk in the coca nut"
There is possibility that the above
is not correct. We have not vet seen
any announcement Of the raising of a
regiment in this State.
