SHOT AT BY A PRIEST.
To Whom He Went to Make Inquiries
Concerning His Wife.

NEW YORK, December li.-Rev.
Father Matthias ii. Yodyssens, pastor Of
ST. Georges Polish Lutheran Church,
Williamsburg, is wanted on warrant
charging him with assault in the first
degree. His alleged victim was
Samuel Diginis, a tailor of New York.
Dilginis had called upon Father
Yodysseus. who occupied apart
mcnts nearly opposite the
church, to inquire about his wife who
has been missing since Tuesday last.
When Mrs. Dilginis was last seen she
was in company with Father Iodys-
seus. and it was for that purpose that
Dilginis visited the house, only, he al
leges. to be met by the pastor, who fired
n pistol at him. When the shot was
fired the ball whizzed past his head, and
Dilginis fell TO the street from fright,
IL was some time before he could be con-
WINGED that he was not shot.
The report of the pistolattractcd two
policemen, but the priest could not be
found. Whether the missing woman is
being harbored by the priest or not can
not be learned. The husband is nearly
distracted over the prolonged absence
Of his wife. to whom he was greatly at
tached. But there is in all probability
another side TO the story.

A Valuable and Unique Business Cal
endaF,

The most convenient, valuable, and
unique business table or desk calen-
dar, for 1880, is the Columbia Bicycle
Calendar and Stand, issued by the
Pope Mfg. Co., OF Boston, Mass. The
Calendar proper is in the form OF a
pad containing 366 leaves, each 5ls K
ga in. one for each day of the year
A portion OF each leaf is left blank for
memoranda, and as the leaves are not
pasted but sewed at tie end, any en-
tire leaf can be exposed whenever de-
sired By an ingenious device the
leaves tear off independently, leaving
no stub The pad rests upon porta-
be stand, containing pen rack and
pencil holder, and when placed upon
n writingtable the whole surface Of
tie datc leaf is brought directly, and
left constantly before the eye, furnish
ing date and memoranda impossible
to be overlooked. The stand is made
OF colored wood, mounted in raised
letters in brass, and is practically in
destructible. The days OF the week
the number OF the days OF the year
past and to come are specified, and
upon each slip appears quotations
pertaining to cycling from leading
publications and prominent writers
and although this is the fifth year Of
the calendar, they are fresh and new,
mentioning the notable events is eye
ling, Opinions Of medical authorities,
clergymen and other professional gen.
tlpmen, the rights Of cyclers upon the
road, cycling statistics record, advice
about costumes, directions for road,
making, another interesting matter,
the whole forming a virtual encyclo-
padia Of cycling Besides the cycling
quotations there are many pertaining
to typewriting, with occasional refer
ence to the typewriters made by the
Pope Mfg Co. The information con-
tanned on the calendar, would, if plac.
ed in book type, make fair-sized vol
