We are informed that on Friday night last,
the following incident occurred at South

or five inches in diameter, crawled in at the
door and up the aisle, passing near the feet
upon the back OF the pew, and stretched
itself out in front of the pulpit, and laid
perfectly still, watching the minister, until
the close of the service, when it was killed,
and hung up in tree as warning TO all
disturbers OF religious worship.
