ATTEMPT TO KILL A RIVAL IN CHURCH.-On
Sunday evening last, the congregation wor-
Shipping in the Beaver Street Methodist Epls-
copal Church, at Allegheny, Md, was thrown
into a state of intense excitement by the re-
port of "A pistol which had been fired III the
vestibule of the church Immediately after the
conclusion of the sermon. Upon inquiry it
appeared that one Lawrence DilWorth, who
had determined upon accompanying young
lady of his acquaintance home, followed her
from the body of the church into the vestI-
bule where he had the mortiication of seeing
her take the arm of a rival, named Charles
Kehew. Stung with rage and disappolnt-
ment Dilworth drew pistol, and aiming II at
Kehew pulled the trigger at the same instant
his arm was struck up by a bystander. The
ball thus diverted missed its intended object
and lodged itself in the wall, from whence 1t
was subsequently dug. Dilworth was held
to bail to answer charge of assault with in
tent to kill.

A LIONS Love FOR A BACK TIGREss.-The
Philadelphia North American records the fol-
lowing singular case
SIN one compartment of the cage in which
the animals perform at Van Amburgh's beau
tiful menagerie, in Chestnut street, is huge
tawny Asiatic lion. His roommate is black
female tiger. The tiger is small compared to
the regal lion, but is highly valued as Il zoo
logical curiosity, and the only specimen OF the
black tiger in this country. She was pur
chased by Mr.. Van Amburgh some two years
ago and has lived with the lion ever since
The attachment between the two is some
thing remarkable. When other animals are
in the same cage and any a1ront is offered to
the little tiger, she runs under the belly OF
approach her. No matter how hungry he
may be, the lion never touches his share of
their daily meat until his little chum has Sc
lected her share, and even this he never en-
tirely consumes until certain that she has
enough. All the animals are as fat as moles,
but this black tiger is aldermanic i'll her pro-
portions, and no remedy exists for the matter.
She has been twice removed from the lion,
but until she was returned the generous beast
would take neither food nor rest, while the
frantic manner i'll which he dashed at the
bars was sufficient warning that the further
detention of the tiger would be a dangerous
matter. Should his mate die, the lion would
| probably pine to death. Once when she was
| taken away a lioneSs was substituted Ihe
| lion instantly fell upon her, and at single
bite broke her spine, and crushed some OF her
ribs, Careful nursing saved her life, and she
| is still living, but with her hinder parts i'm
moyably paralyZed. "

Delinquent LandS.-Of lands sold for taxes
and purchased by the State, there are nomi-
nally 20, ,224 496 acres; lS,601 ,0e0 being In the
Trans Allegheny districts. Speaking on this
subject, the Auditor says "They are such for

all, are lands to which the party charged has
no title, and Of consequence the purchaser
could get none. Most OF the lands are charged

that the whole State only contains about Al.
900 800 acres, and the number charged therein

The BRooKLYS.-There is no doubt now that
the frigate Brooklyn has gone to Fort Pick
ems. A Washington dispatch says:
1t is now believed that the steamer Brook
lyn will not reinforce Fort Pickens unless 1t
is attacked, and that she will cruise outside to
watch the progress of events. She is said to
have carried out instructions to the Gulf
Squadron not to enter the harbor, and that
her mission is therefore one of peace rather
than war, with an ounce or two OF preVen-
ton on board Lieutenant Slemmer can com
municate with the Brooklyn when she arrives
outside, Us he has the little steamer Wyan-
dotte anchored under the guns of the fort, and
moves her about at his pleasure. He can thus
arrange with the Brooklyn for signals in case
she and the two companies of artillery on
board are wanted.
