For some time past there has been
slight misunderstanding between
our colOrcd friends of the b ,ptist

week the pastor of the church hav-
ing difficulty with one IF the dea
cons of his church. forgot that the
days OF bell;gerent priesthood had
passed away, lOff,-d his clerical
robes and administered a very I'M
clerical clIastiscment ON the afeI e.
g lid deacon. The rest of the d. a.
cons not considering this - strictly
orthodox method OF enforcing the
s nth, rehell, d, aud upon last Sun
day evening locked the door Of the
church npon the presiding pastor
and forbid him preaching therein.
The pastor arriving with several Of
the sisters who seem to have been
his most xealous supporters, and
iuding the situation thus, proceeded
with the active co operation Of said
sisters to administer a most severe
tongue lashing to the rebellious
deacons in language calculated to
lead to breach Of the peace.
which would have resulted in few
broken heads and bloody noses had
not our efficient deputy marshal
