one tavoring Rev. Mr. WoodSidc, and the
othertayoringanothe clergyman. Wood
side attempted to 90 into the pulpit when
the other clergymen attacked him. A
general fight cnSucd. extending through
the whole congregation. For a quarter
OF an hour the battle ragged turlously.
Heads We're punched, eyes were blacllrn-
ed. arms broken and women knorkcd
down The yeIls and screams We're
trightiul. The police We're called in, and
after some difficulty, succeeded in qucll-

PeWs are broken, remnants Of gas globes
streW the floor, hymn books and bibles are
scattered in all directions, and large
quantity Of hairpins and bangs have been
gathered up. The utmost indignation
prevails in church circles. The matter

L Acknowledge the Corn.

This is the origin Of the phrase II ac-
knowledge the corn" In Ie2o, Andrew
Stewart, a member Of Congress, said in q
speech that Ohio, kentucky and Indiana
sent their haystacks, corn-tieds and tod-
der to New York and Philadelphia for
sale. Wicklit1e, Of kentucky, called him
to order declaring that those States did
not send haystacks or corntields to New
\ ork for sale. "Wcll, what do YOU send ?"
asked Stewart. "Why. horses, mules,
cattle, and hogs" .Well, what makes
your horses, mules, cattle and hogs
You feed 500 worth Of hay to horse.
You just animate and get upon the top
of your haystack and ride Off to market.
How is it with your cattle You make
one of them carry $50 worth Of hay and
grass to the Eastern market. How much
corn does it take, at thirty y-three cents a
bushel to fatten a hog?' "Why thirty
bushels" "Then you put that thirty
bushels into the shape Of hog, and
make it walk off to the Eastern market"
Then Mr.. Wicklitte jumped up and said:
"AIr. Speaker, | acknowledge the corn"

absolutely correct on their face and showed
the election of the Republican Representative BY

occurred to Mr.. Fogg and the other gentlemen Of
the Council that the signatures Of the three Select
men on the Webster return and of two Of the three
on the Lisbon return might be forged or written

amended his record, relying on the decision of the
