BADGERING A DEACON.
Extraordinary scene at Prayer Meeting.

The Troy Times SAYS
A prayer meeting at North Argyle last week
waG interrupted by singular disturbance,
wear or two ago Daniel McGowan took a boy
who is known as BILLY" from the county house a
and recently he was sent back. Mr.. MCGOWAN
was accused Of not using the boy in a proper
manner, and at the prayer meeting last week
he as is his custom, led in the exercises. While
engaged he was frequently interrupted by a
number of persons with the request to put in
a word for Billy" at the same time ridiculing
and mocking him in most disgracetul manner
Patience was no longer virtue with Mr.: MNcG, Nc
torted TO James Lester whom he supposed had
interrupted him, Che however not proving to be
the one, ) with the remark that IF ne had done
wrong with Billy, he had never pulled a girl out
of the cutter or shot at any one." This brought
Lester to his feet to reply. At this point the
chairman and others interceded for Mr.. Nc,
Gowan, and order was partially restored until
the meeting was dismissed, when general
hubbub ensued, angry words were INDUCED in,
and but for the timely interference of the women
there might have been blows.

W." NE
Our readers will remember we published
the following last September:
We desire to invite the attention of our sg-
ricultural exchanges and others interested, to
the following very singular horticultural ex-
periments recently successfully made here,
and of which we were personally witness.
An intelligent young lady in this town,
we'll known to many of our readers. was told
that if on the first of August she plucked all
the leaves from lilac, it would put forth
fresh blossoms and leaves the sameseason.
Accordingly On the Second OF August, the
first being Sunday, she did pick from young
lilac its entire foliage, and the tree has not
only put forth new leaves but blossoms, one
of which we gathered this very morning, Sep.
TENDER 1eth
We presume the phenomenon is explained
on the well known principle that tree, so
wounded as to seriously threaten Its existencs,
Immediately develops flower and fruit or seed
buds, and the stripping of the lilac produced
this effect.
Whether the tree will bloom again next
Spring and whether it will be able to sustain
the severe drain upon its roots remains to be
seen.
We watched this tree this spring and it
blossomed us usual, if any thing perhaps
trifle less luxuriantly than common.
We presume any day in the early part of
August will do, and we invite our readers to
select a lilac tree tor themselves this year and
