A Church Quarrel Settled.

A despatch from Pottsville, Pa, says:
About three months ago serious quarrel
arose in the Polish Roman Catholic congre-
CATION in Shenandoah, Pa. .,whichis presided
over by Rev. z. Alexander Lenarckwiez.
The pastor and majority of the congrega-
ton are from Poland proper, and use the
dialect of that country, while strong minor
ity are Lithunnans, and speak Lettish.
The latter demanded that a portion of the
services should be conducted in their native
tongue, but the majority refused to consent
to this. The dispute grew more and more
bitter, until finally, one Sunday morning in
July, the pastor, on reaching his church,
found the gate locked and guarded by about
20 women, supported by strong body of
the disailected males of the congregation.
The Chief Burgess was called on to disperse
the mob, and did SO by the aid of force Of
special police, but not without a scufllc. A
number of the more tumultuous persons in
the crowd were arrested, and held to await
trial for riot, assault and battery, &C., and
were arraigned in the Criminal Court last
week. For convenience, it was agreed to
try all the suits at once, as they all grew out
of the same troubles and as the services of
three Or four Interpreters were necessary to
turn the witness patois into English, more
than a week has been CONSUMED in the trial
and the costs have run upto total of about
$1,000: Judge Pershing made very elabor-
ate charge tothe Jury, and, afteran all-night
session, they returned verdicts of not guilty
in every case, but divided the costs between
the prosecutors and the defendants, thus
Furnishing both parties alike. Surprise was
expressed when the decision of the jury was
made known, as it was thought the charge
of riot, at least, was fully made out, and, in
deed, Judge Pershing expressed that opinion
after leaving the bench. The general result,
however, is thought to be a salutary lesson
to the billigerent churchmen on both sides,
and it is hoped that the squabble, which
created much excitement while it lasted, is
now settled.
