A Religious Goat.

Last Sunday night during the services at
McFerrin's Chapel, Edgefeld, goat de-
liberately walked up the aisle of the church,
got upon a seat near the center Of the
structure, and scanned the surroundings in
a very unconcerned way. This strange
performance created 50 much merTiment
among,the congregation that the minister
requested some one TO drive the goat out of
the house, which was accordingly done and
the door closed. 1t so happened that the
building had double entrance in front,
and in a few moments the goat made its
appearance al the other door, but advanced
up the aisle only few PAGES, when, seem
ingly recollecting the treatment received
upon its first advent, turned and left the
hOuSe.

seven or eight men, who demanded bacon

had no employment, money, food for their

obliged to have food to save them from
starvation. After aperemptOry demand for
the meat, Mr.. Taylor gave up the keys of
the meat-houSe. The parties, however,
only took several pieces Of meat, declaring
they only wanted enough to drive starva-
