TERRIBLE SHOOTING AFFRAY IN TROY,
N. Y.-A fatal shooting aftray occurred
in Troy about nine O'Clock on Saturday
night. Two well known young men,
Thomas H. Bailey and Joel B. Thomp-
son, met in front of Ronald's saloon on
River street, near Fourth. Bailey in
quired of Thompson why he had in
suited his (Bailey's) sister. High words
ensued, and Bailey slapped Thompson's
face. Thompson, it is alleged, thereupon
instantly drew pistol and fired, the
ball taking effect in the region of Bal
lty's heart. The wounded man was taken
into Roland's saloon and died in twenty
minutes. The saloon was Immediately
closed and a physician sent for, but the
victim was dead before his arrival.
Thompson was arrested and locked up.
in the I'd precinct STATEN house. 1t is
alleged'that he was intoxicated at the
time Of the affray. Bailey's body was
subsequently removed to the residence
of his mother, No. IS North Third street.
He leaves a young wife to mourn his
loss, The deceased was employed as
engineer of the Rankin steamer. He
had the reputation Of being a young
man of exemplary habits and character,
and was much esteemed by wide circle
of friends. Thompson's character also
is said to have been good, and the rash
act has created surprise among those
who knew him. He was perfectly cool
after his arrest, and claims that he CON-
mitted the act purely in self-defence.
The news of this sad affair spread
rapidly throughout the city, and great
crowd soon collected at the station
house and at the saloon near which the
tragedy occurred,

ATTEMPTED ARsoN.--A dastardlY at
tempt was made on Saturday evening
last to burn the building on West street,
near the cemetery, the lower portion OF
which is occupied by II. Norton, Esq,
as a marble.cutting establishment, and
the upper story by Chas. Pappineau as
dwelling. 1t appears that shavings and
light, dry wood and chips were piled up
In two places and fred, evidently with
the intention of consuming the build
ing. The villainous design was, how
ever, frustrated by Mr., Pappineau and
wife, who, hearing the cracking Of the
flames, went down stairs, and after
much exertion succeeded in subduing
them. If Rutland is infested by one or
more incendiaries, we trust no pains
will be spared on the part of our officials
to ferret them out and bring them to
justice, asl words fail to portray the
gloom which their hellish work may
cast upon our community, if successful
in their designs.

REIvALs-Accounts from all por-
tions of the State indicate deep in
terest as being manifested in religion,
many who have been hitherto laggard
in this respect, having openly professed
hope in the Redeemer, and become men,
bers Of different churches.
There IS deep religious interests
manifested in Passumpsc. Some have
been converted backsliders are quick
ened and some who were expelled from
the church for violating their covenant
engagements years ago, are coming back
penitently to the fellowship and COM
munion of the church.
There has been during the past fall,
and still continues, quite a religious
awakening at Barton Landing. Rev. s.
Virgins the venerable pastor Of the
Methodist church there, assisted by Rev.
Mr., Barton, of Wheelock, has labored
arduously for the good Of souls, and as
the fruits Of his labor, last Sabbath
week, eight persons were baptised and
Joined the church. There are several
other hopeful conversions.
The Black River Transcript says
that the interest in reference to religious
things remains unabated in that com
munity, if indeed it is not on the in
crease, adding eve have heard the re-
mark made that this is the peoples re-
vVal-that the people very generally are
interested in it-and that ministers and
FOUR days, meetings have very little to
do with it. This is to certain extent
true, and yet We imagine that if the
| ministers and the warm hearted chris
tians were all to be suddenly removed
about this time, they would be sadly
| missed.
