A STRANGE SCENE IN CHURCH.

From the Rochester IN. W Union, Jan. 241
Ono day last week young man living in Gcncsco
clopcd with tho daughter OF wealthy and respected
CITIZEN, the parties for time previous having
manifested a decided affection for each othcr. Tho
young couple went to Mount Morris, whcro they took
upon themselves the solemn obligations OF marriage:
but their present Whereabouts are, we believe, un-
known The young lady's father was In Albany at tho
time on business, and somebody wrote him that he
had better come home and look after his daughter.
He returned Immediately On Sunday last be at
tcndcd church, and here occurred a strange scene.
The congregation had just concluded the singing Of
the nrst hymn when he In his pew.
took out his watch, and addressing the clergyman OK
claimed :-"Thcrc Is devil In this church. and give
her just i've minutes to live |" Al the same time ho
drew rcvovcr aud pointed 1t at lady seated In pew
IN front oil nun. That lady the mother OF the
young man VINO had eloped with and married tho
others daughter The woman acting under an i'm.
pulse Of discretion, left the church. and things settled
down again TO quiet state of affairs Nothing further
mas Dcen done about tho matter, though tho wholo
ominrnity have made u subject OF constant talk.
IL seems That the man who fees deeply aggrievcd
o. what had previously taken place supposcs that the
eopemcnt was nstigased by the young mans mother.

We believe there has never been any seri-
Gus attempt at the refutation of the automatic
ave1ment that Eggs is Eggs Also we believe
that no superserviceable minion of Lindley
Murray has ever ventured to subject the said
axiom to the Impertinence of grammatical
reconstruction SO far as to suggest that Eggs
are Eggs. But the New York Legislature has
lately had under consideration a bill whose
intent it was to ordain that i'll the future eggs
must be eggs. AS to the nature and effect of
this measure and the light in which it is re-
garded by part of the press, the following
from the Herald of May IL is an indication :
The Egg bill has passed the Assembly and
is now before the Senate We mean the bill
providing for the sale of eggs by weight, for
nearly every bill that originates III our model
Legislature has an egg" i'll it for the legisla-
tive nest. If the Governor, after sitting Ill
Judgment upon the bill, should think proper
to hatch it into law, it VIII give general sat
isfac.ion The Assembly debate elected the
fact that the honest farmers who keep hens
pass The eggs through sleeves before they send
then to market, keeping all the large ones
for them jelyes and selling the small ones only,
The process of GorJlng goes on through three
or four hands, until the poor woman who
goes TO the grocery with her basket gets very
d'mInutlve eg S for her money. TO be sure,
We can see some difficulties i'll the way Of the
law. If a small purchaser wants six ounces
Of rs, and three weigh either a little over
or little under that weight, how is the diff
ference to be made up! Then, again, poor
family of twelve persons may want an egg
apiece; but in buying a pound and a half
they may get only nine or ten large eggs, and
there will be difficulty about he division:
There viii be heaps of trouble among female
boarding house keepers, too, should they get
less instead of more than twelve eggs for the
price by weight of a dozen. However, the
bill is on the whole, good one, especially
in view of the foul tricks of the farmers.

POPPED THROUGH INTO ToPHET. Our read
ers Will remember that few months ago a
gentleman by the name of Pope, living at
Cherokee Flat, i'll this county, applied for and
obtained a Government patent to a large
piece of valuable mining ground. Since that
time he has been engaged in running tun-
mel into it, so as to pierce north Table Noun
tain. He is in between three and four hun
dred feet. The rock is kind of shale and
Ignite. Last Monday the dump pile was dis
covered to be very hot and smoking, and in a
short time the whole tunnel was found to be
on fire. 1t is as hot as furnace and a vol
une of dark smoke rUshes out continuously
The air is strongly impresnated with sulphur,
so much so that it is hard to breathe. No
one seems to know what the matter is, and
all are more or less frightened. Whether
Pope has tapped the Internal regions or not
is question hard to answer. 1t is certain
that he cannot get near the tunnel The
people in the immediate vicinity do not pro-
pose to he sufocated and they have stamp
eded. Chas. Waldeyer and family, B. P.
Hutchinson and DR.. Dawson have come to
Oroville. Large numbers are constantly
visiting the place to look at the curiosity, but
there is little to see except volume of smoke
rushing out of the tunnel. -OrociUe (CaL.)

Contempt Of Court takes many shapes
and manners of expression. The most pointed
and deliberate example we have noticed is
afforded by the Silver State of Friday which
says:
A year ago Judge Bonnifeld while on a
hunting excursion near the Toll House lost
his boots while attempting to wade through
the tough mud on the lake shore. He
endeavored to recover them with cable and
two yoke of oxen, but failed in consequence
of the rope parting. Tom. Shone, who keeps
the Toll House, arrived in town yesterday,
and informed us that the waves have washed
away the mud, and the boots look like the
smoke stacks of stranded steamer on the
beach

We got no Eastern mails on Friday. The
cause of the deprivation is stated as follows
by the Reno Gazette of Friday evening:
Yesterday evening the west bound overland
train ran off the track about i miles west of
Oreana. A quantity of sand had been blown
upon the track, which at this point makes a
considerable curve The locomotive and
three coaches were thrown from the track
the engine was nearly upset. Damage light,
and no one injured A small engine used to
help freight trains between Browns and Wads-
worth, was, at the time, some 20 miles west
of the overland, and came to her assistance.
The train was delayed about eleven hours,
arriving here at 1875 this morning.

The cattle raisers of Humboldt County are
Just now a good deal interested III the propo-
sition to slaughter their beef and ship it in
refrigerator cars, rather than to continue as
they have been doing shipping the bullocks,
alive. The beef raising industry is a very
important one in that county; and the Silver
State of May Il has the following article CON
corning the question indicated:
There was shipped from this county in
round numbers during the last winter $4,000
head of cattle, ,059 car loads. The freight,
at 500 per car, amounted to &1O5, 900 If
they had been dressed here there would have
been saved
Shrinkage on each animal S3-S54 600
Cost of feed before selling each 81 SIS, 600
Loss i'll consequence of bruises and the fever
ish condition of the cattle upon reaching San
Francisco one cent per pound, or an average
Of say Sc per head, amounting to sos, 600.
Total loss from shrinka9e, cost of feed and
deterioration i'll quality, SlSO,OO0. No
deduction Is made on account of the extra
freight paid by reason of shipping the beeves
alive. Cattlemen Will readily understand
from this that the saving made on season 5
shipment by dressing the meat in Nevada
would pay the expense of building refrigerator
slaughter yards at the most important ship
ping points and for a sufficient number of cars
to carry the meat to market, besides adding
to the wealth and business of the |
