ROweIrs Row.

The brethren and sistren Of Brother
Carter's church, in the old factory lot,
Fort Pickering, were terribly stirred
up last night by the rather eccentric
behavior Of a backsliding member
named George Rowell, who slammed
the door so hard that the foundation
shook, and the congregation" al
ready worked up by ParsOn Carter s
eloquence to the very gates OF tor
ment, imagined that the last trump
had sounded and the earth was about
to open and swallow them up. Ex-
Brother ROwell was not satisfied, but
returned and demanded his wife. He
was informed she was at that moment
on the mOurnerS bench, and could
not be taken. Then he used some
words taken rather discOnnectedly
from the Bible, and threatened to
send the whole church to tia Snourn
ers' bench or somewhere else unless
she came with him at once. The
brethren we're very naturally aggrieved
and SWore some deep pulpit oaths
against Rovell to-day. He vas
sentenced to forty daya.

When the Police Court was in the
zenith Of its glory this morning, some
thing 10 the neighborhood Of the stove
was heard 10 go ker-rack, ker.rack
and the aqdieure looked uneasy. An
other snap followed and Eve of the
audience departed. The mechanical
attorney talked about the weight Of
the Judicial gsyel and the Big Fat at =.
torpey moved toward the back door.
Another snap was heard, three more
Of the audience skipped, and the Big
Fat attorney started down the steps.
The classic attorney stuck to his
post, or his end Of the bench rather,
with all the heroism Of his favorite
Spartan, and waited, with fixed count
enance, to be crushed. The next rap
Of the mallet was triae lighter, the
cracking ceased. the Big Fat attorney
returned, the classic attorney looked
like hero, and peace was restored.
There was no danger after all. The
heat Of the stove had burnt the old
paper on the ceiling. That was all.

The County Court will elect a Shsr,
III in April to fill the vacancy caused
BY the death Of Captain Athy. In the
Interim i would not be Improper for
the prOple to express their preferences
and no doubt the Magistrates would
DO glad to have as general an expres.
sion as possible.
The candidates, so far as known. are.
good men, and tho court cannot seri-
ously err in the selection.
With 40 serious objection IN anv
candidate in the field, we feel iustifisa
10 referring particularly to the claims
OF W. u. Cannon, we'll known TO rs as
q most reputable citizen Of this distr;ct

Deputy Of 0. l.. Anderson w n
