church in Robertson county, NORTH
Carolina, was recently indicted anc
found guilty of disturbing churcl
worship. The disturbance consist
ed Of joining in the singing with the
choir in his old-fash1oned way. The
minister tried in vain to choke him
off and stopped dining the hymns
This, however, did not have the de
sired effect, for the old gentleman
resorted to hunming the tunes af-
ter the choir, and on trial claimed
that he could not conscientiously
sit in his seat and listen to the
singing, which he regarded part OF
the worship, without joining in.
The supreme court reversed the
case.
BEu1AH. fiery, black eyed little
Spanish actress, played at Buffalo,
n. Y, a few nights ago. There was
a scene in the piece where she was
to have wreaked vengeance on false
lover, but the plot is SO arranged
that a person behind the fly comes
to his rescue. In this instance,
however, little incident occurred
which had not been arranged by the
author. Forgetting that it was a
mere stage play, when the rescuer
sailed forth she turned upon him
and made several real savage swipes,
inficting deep cut on his arm be-
fore the dagger could be taken from
her.

probably is working the ropes in a
ain effort to defeat Cleyeland's re
nomination, but he hasn't partaken
# the insane root sufficiently yet to
lug the delusiTe hope of standing |
ny show before a democratic cor
ention when tariff reform is the is
ue.
