And now the everlasting dog has invaded
tire sacred precincts of the church, and is
creating discord and i'll feeling there. In the
vicinity of Skowhegan a quarrel has arisen
because certain persons persist in taking their
dogs to church, contending that they have a
right to do so, while their opponents contend
that they have no such right, and persist in
the sensible method of kicking the creatures
out. The choir have refused to sing if dogs
are allowed in the church--one man has been
expelled and another has taken himself away.
The great question seems to be in this case,
can a man enjoy religion, sleep well nights,
pay his debts, take the local new spaper, and
feel at peace with his neighbors if he willful-
ly and maliciously takes his miserable cur
along with him to meeting against the feel
ing and wishes of many good, well disposed,
and law abiding citizens?

have been practical joker. He very much
alarmed the people on one occasion by manu-

powder in each of the entry rooms and on
each flight of stairs in his great house and then
commenced rolling a cannon ball across one
of the floors. The night was very dark and the
people went out to examine into the cause Of
the unwonted noise; he lighted the powder
and every room was filled with lightning. He
was much delighted by the astonishment of
the wondering people who declared that they
saw the lightning leaping from room to room,
when it was nowhere else to be seen.
