At Nevada City, on Tuesday last,
the Chinese formed procession at
the east side of Chinatown, and
headed by their gong band went up
to their Joss House and took out the
Joss aud six bombs, one of which
contained the insignia which would
entitle the possessor to act as priest
for the joss. The Chinese, to the
number of about 500, then went in
procession to Lost Hill, near the
Golden Tunnel mine. They threw
off their extra garments and the
bombs were lighted and exploded
in the air. The second one con-
tanned the coveted prize, and n gen.
aral rush WAS made to secure It,
Finally one got it in his grip anc
by some ruse managed to ESCAPE
from the crowd and was declared
the victor. He then came up tc
the front of the Joss, made his 6o"
and took his oath to defend the deity
The crowd then returned to town
and kept up their confused noises
for some time. Cinnamon were
present for miles around.

Chose to Wake Ye Sleepers.'
(Springfeld Republican. ]

lSpflDSuelu RepuDllcln.
One of the customs of our fathers
was the habit Of going to sleep dur
ing church service, and various
and singular were the expediants
adopted by the minister and the
deacons to keep them wide awake.
Here is an account of funny
scene in Lynn, Mass, church
in l646, during the preaching of
good old Rev. Samuel Whitney, ID.
D. II ia taken from Obadiah Turn
er's journal.
"l646, June ye 3D.: Allen Brydges
hath bin chose to wake We sleepers
in meeting, and being much Proud
Of his place must needs have q
fox-taile fixed to We end of long
staH wherewith be may brush the
faces of them ye will have maps in
time of discourse; likewise sharp
thorne wherewith he may prick
such as be most sound. On ye last
Lord his day, as he strutted
about ye meetinghouse, he did
spy Mr.. Tomlins sleeping
with much comforte, his
head kept steadie by being in We
corner and his hand grasping ye
rail. And SO spying Allen did
quicklie thrust his staff behind
Dame Ballond aud give him a
grievous prick upon ye hand.
Whereupon Mr.. Tomlins did spring
up much above ye floor and with
terrible force strike his hand
against ye wall, and also to ye great
wonder Of all prophainlie exclaim
In loud voice, 'Cuss the wood
chuck he dreaming, as it
seemed ye a woodchuck had seized
and bit his hand. But on COM
ing to know where he was, anu ye
great scandal he had committed, he
seemed much abashed but did not
speake. And L think he will not
soone againe go to sleepe in meet
ing. Ye women may sometimes
sleepe and none know it by reason
of their enormous bonnets. Mr..
Whitney doth pleasantli say vt
from ye pulpit he doth seem to be
preaching to stacks of straw with
men jotting here and there among
them"
