A Queer Church DlfRcuity.

John Wagner, who resides at Indian
apolis, through his attorney, Ben. F.
Davis, filed complaint against the Rev.
Victor A. Schnell, pastor of the Cath
olic Church of Cincinnati, alleging that
in July last, while his wife, together
with their infant daughter Katie, was
on visit to Cincinnati, that the said
infant daughter Katie was, without his
knowledge or consent, by the said de-
fendant, the Rev. Victor A. Schnell,
baptised into the Catholic Church, and
that record and entry of the same was
made in the church records; and plain
tiff demands that said Victor A. Schnell
be required to come into court with the
said church and baptismal record by him
made of the baptism of said infant child,
Katie Wagner, and that there and then,
in the presence of the Court, he be re-
quired to make " "erasure, cancellation
and destruction" of such church and
baptismal record, and asks such other
relief as the Court may think "meet and
proper" This is certainly very pecu-
liar case, and is the second case of the
kind ever brought in the Courts of the
United States. Francis T. Hord and
Cooper & Burns, of Cincinnati, have
been retained by Father Schnell as his
counsel, and the case will probably be
heard during the present term of Court.

quet went on. The mosquitoes that
came late didn't stand on ceremony, but
drew right up and helped themselves.
"Cut little closer to the bone,'' the old
ones would say to the new comers,
"you'll find the meat sweeter." And
closer to the bone 1t was. kept up q
regular tattoo with my feet, until the
senior deacon came over and whispered
to me that the Dominion churches had
not adopted the New York custom of
applaudlng the good points In sermon.
Then held my feet off the floor and
kicked them straight out, every time a
new mosquito got the drop ON me and
made bulls eye, until man sitting In
front of me turned around and sternly
assured me that IL L didn't quit kicking
his wife and children he throw me out
of the window. / had wondered several
times, In an abstfacted sort of way, what
the children were crying for. Once, In
| my suffering, got my feet up on the
pew and tried to sit on them, but the
maneuver seemed to afford the young
ladies in that vicinity so much amuse-
ment that had to give it up. got
hold of window stick, and tried spear
ing the mosquitoes with it, like cells, but
it attracted too much attention, and
owing to my nervousness was failure
anyhow. AT last, either because they
had enough, or because it was all gone,
or because the service was concluded,
the mosquitoes quit, and the last 1 heard
of them as they started off toward the
other side of the room to swarm on
q bald-headed man before he could get
his hat on, they were singing with the
congregation, f" Happy day; happy
day ~ Musquash is one of the pleasant
est places in the world, and 1 think it
must import its mosquitoes. 1 am now
quite content with the st. John variety.
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1879-10-21

We got Elrlc to interpret for us, and
swore that we would shoot every man
and woman present unless the four
thieves were pointed out, and after
long parley they were delivered up tous;
and then we exacted promise that the
rest of the tribe would leave the neigh
borhood, and never come back to the
range, but seek other quarters to ply
their thievlsh propensities.
We secured.our prisoners, and return
ed home, driving them before us. They
took the matter quite coolly, and knew
the fate that awaited them as well as we
did, for the backs of two of the blacks
showed scars as though they had been
flogged for like crimes.
We got home by sunset, and sent word
to the mounted police that we had four
prisoners who needed flogging for theft.
But the scamps did not get punished
that time, as they managed to make
their escape In the night, and probably
rejoined their band before we were
awake. They had worked their lashlngs
loose, and vanished, without even dis
turbing our dogs, which were guarding
our hut, and were scattered in all direc-
tions. The rascals took half of sheep
to feed them ON their way; but we
never saw them more.
We rewarded the Tracker, and he
went home satisfied and two days after
ward the rains fell in sheets, and con-
tinued so long that the Loddon was like
large river, and the lowlands were
under water for six weeks, and the grass
sprang up as if by magic, and our cattle
waxed fat and contented, and our clip of
wool was the largest that we ever sent
to market, and we made some money
that season in spite of our misfortunes
at the commencement of the year. But
keeping cattle is trying work in Victoria
unless the rains favor you at the right
time.
