BA1HJ ERIXtt A DEACON. Extraordinary Pcene at a Prayer Meeting. The Trov Times says: A prayer meeting at North Arsryle last week AntArrtirt.id bv a singular disturbance. A vear or two 820 Daniel McGowan took a boy who is known as "Billy" from the county-House i..tnlr n Rlllv did not Bret alone very well, and recently he was sent back. Mr. McGowan was accused of not using the boy in a proper manr-er, and at the prayer meeting last week la his custom, led in the exercises. While engaged he was frequently interrupted by a number of persons with the request to "put in a word for Billy," at the same time ridiculing and mocking him in a most disgraceful manner. p.iii.11111 waa no loncer a virtue with Mr. McG., and after he nad concluded his devotions he re torted to James fester, whom he supposed had interrupted him, (he however not proving to be the one,) with the remark that "If he had done wrong with Billy, he had never pulled a girl out of the cutter or shot at any one' 1 his brought Lester to his feet to reply. At this point the chairman and others interceded for Mr. Mc- Gowan, and order was partially restored until the meeting was dismissed, when a general hubbub ensued, angry words were indulged in, and but for the timely interference of the women there might have been blows. A Cleveland dentist, in want of a good Job, endeavored to persuade a young lady who called to have a back tooth out that she ought to part with all her front teeth and have a new set. The lady refused to gratify him. As she now ...!,.. h rmt her under the influence of gas. and when she waa brought back to conscious ness by the pain, she dlseovered, to her amaze ment and indignation, that the Irrepressible oneratcr had three of her sound front teeth out, and waa evidently intending to make a clean cb of it.
