..yo.,u n, paid. som. D.x.,

That a good deed in this naughty world
of ours does not always go unrewarded is
instanced int the following: Miss Sarah J.
Rhodes, of Clappertown, Blair county,
Pennsylvania, was recently left the sum Of
900 by Miss Prescott, maiden lady
residing in Philadelphia, who died on the
9Th of January last. The lady was of En-
glish descent, had no relations in this coun-
try, and left all she had to Miss Rhodes,
under these circumstances: On the 2Sth Of
December, 1873, Miss K. was journey
ing to Altoona, Pennsylvania, and met the
lady on the train, who was quite i'll. She
ministered to her wants in great kindness
and accompanied her to her place Of desti
nation. When Miss X. took leave to return
home, the lady requested her address and
rendered compensation for her kindness and
attention. This was declined, when Miss
Prescott said, You will be paid some day"
From that time nothing passed between the
two and they never after met. And now
Miss Rhodes is Unexpectedly startled into q
remembrance OF the sick stranger, and has a
distinct Interpretation Of the phrase-"Y lou
will be paid some day"

TRENTON, y. j., March 5.-The little
village OF Hamilton, six miles from here
has lust undergone much excitement over
an occurrence which took place in the Bap.
tist church last Sunday and Monday
While the pastor, Rev. W. W. Case, high
ly esteemed gentleman, was delivering a
sermon to his congregation, on Sunday
February 9th, married lady named
Mount suddenly arose and in loud tones
called him liar, adding that it would be
better for him to practice what he breaches.
Most intense excitement followed, and bit
ter were the denunciations against her for
insulting her pastor. During the whole
week speculation was rife a. TO what would
be done with her. A meeting was held,
when it was resolved not to allow her to en-
ter the edifice any more. Yesterday
ACLIMAx WAS REACHED.
Crowds assembled in front of the church
and, soon afterward, Mrs. Mount came along
and made q rush for the door She was
stopped by a constable and a struggle en-
sued. and the excitement became intensed
The United States Marshal gave her fivs
minutes in which to leave. or he won't
send her to Jail. She disregarded the threat
and firmly held her ground. Her husband
after while, took her home, and peace was
again restored. 1t Is the determination OF
the church trustees not to allow her inside
the edifce in the future, but the husband
says he will take her there next Sunday,
when another chapter of the scandal may
be reached.
